Building A House - Pastor Marvin L. Winans Sr.

Main message: The sermon urges believers to give willingly and generously to God’s house, using David’s preparation for the temple and Moses’ instructions on offerings as the model. The pastor frames the church’s day of giving as part of a larger faith-filled vision to build a new edifice and trust God for provision.

Key points:

• David wanted to build God’s house but, though he could not, he still prepared abundantly for it.
• God’s house should be built with excellence, not with leftovers or a casual attitude.
• Offerings must be given willingly from the heart; God does not force giving.
• The pastor argues that biblical giving is tied to God’s work and God’s blessing, not personal gain.
• The church’s new building project is presented as a faith project, with a call for members and friends to participate sacrificially.
• The message closes with prayer for the city, the church, and blessings on those who give.
