Ephesians 2:19-22

'Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone….And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.'

What do you do for fun?

Maybe it is going on holiday, or spending time relaxing at home? Or maybe it is enjoying a good meal?

One of the things I do for fun and to relax is LEGO. Specifically, Technics Lego. I love building these things, love putting it all together. If you take a good look these days at Lego sets, they come with little motors, little complicated suspension systems, even little lite or smart bricks that light up and communicate to an App.  

LEGO bricks are made to Click together and Connect together. It seems to me we are made the same way.

God simply loves putting things back together (see Ephesians Bible verse above) God loves building things up and putting things back together; whether it is our lives, hearts, finances, relationships or even our communities. God loves bringing people back together. I think we need this more than ever in our present climate. No longer foreigners and strangers-we are made to connect with each other.  

If it is broken, God wants to put it back together. If it is disconnected, God wants to put it back together. We simply just can’t do life alone or only with those we feel most comfortable with-if we do we decide to always be afraid and live in fear of “them”. We are made to click and connect with others.

I deeply love and appreciate the diversity of our church at Daventry, no longer foreigners or strangers. God putting people back together.

While I am on the topic don’t forget our monthly LEGO services every last Sunday of each month. Come and have fun with God putting things back together and building things up.
