Join us for hot dogs, cupcakes and an opportunity to see the "before" picture before we begin the transformation of this former grocery store into a place of worship.
The address of our future home is 7906 Alexandria Pike in Alexandria. From the AA highway turn right onto U.S. 27 (Alexandria Pike) and go south 2.5 miles. The building is on the left behind the Burger King.
"Let us rise up and build"
The quote above comes from Nehemiah chapter two. It followed Nehemiah's survey of the broken down walls around the city of Jerusalem and his address to the city officials when he told them how the hand of God had been upon him and how the king had dealt favorably with him regarding his returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls.
The book of Nehemiah shows what can be accomplished when the Spirit of God leads His people to action and the people have a mind to work. But the book of Nehemiah also shows how God wants to re-build the broken down walls of our individual souls once we are restored to Him.
Tomorrow at The Bridge we are kicking-off a new series called "Restoring Your Soul." In this series we will follow the story of Nehemiah and show how the physical rebuilding of the wall around the city of Jerusalem illustrates the work God wants to do in the individual lives of His people. Many times when we hear a testimony of someone's conversion, the story ends with the person coming to faith in Jesus. Rather than this being the end of the story, this is just the beginning of what God wants to do in the life of that individual.
I believe this series will not only help you understand the work God wants to do to make you the person He created you to be, but will provide us with practical wisdom for the physical building campaign we are about to begin.
