Lego Church?
You probably know what a Lego is. They are a simple yet amazing toy. The Lego is such an improvement over the simple building block.  Legos connect and blocks only stack.
When it comes to mankind it is very clear that we are..
Built to Build
Created for Connection
There is a drive inside of you to build a better life, reach for more success, accomplish more than you did yesterday.  You were created this way..  There is also a need for connection inside of you.
As you start this year you need to BUILD and you need to CONNECT.

Sermon Notes By Chris Fluitt

Welcome to Redemption Church and welcome to the year 2016. My name is Chris Fluitt and I am excited about our new sermon series.
Lego Church Title
You probably know what Legos are. You are probably fully aware of the small plastic interconnecting block. Lego is a huge, impossible to not notice, business. You may have seen a recent Lego movie, purchased a set for someone this Christmas, played a Lego video game, or had the experience of trying to create with Legos.
Legos are more than just blocks. Legos are way better than blocks. Both blocks and Legos can build, but the amount you can create with Legos is better.
Legos connect. Blocks stack.
Blocks can stack, but Legos do more than stack. Legos connect.
 
You want to build this year.
Build your family.
Build better health.
Build better finances.
Build our lives in character, morality, generosity…
grow spiritually in Christ. Be built up in faith.
As a Church we want to build this year.
 
Every new-year we feel this drive to build. We are built to build.
The Bible says a thing or two about building.
1 Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(NIV)
The creator has design plans for you. To build you into something greater. YOU ARE HIS BUILDING MATERIAL!
Ephesians 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,(NIV)
Ephesians 4:12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up(NIV)
The creator will place & has placed people in your life to help you build.
 
We need to connect
At my house we had a bucket of Legos. It was a growing collection of pieces.
When I wanted to build something I wouldn’t just get one Lego out…  No one plays with “Lego.”  We play with “LEGOS”
You can’t build anything with one Lego.  You need to be able to connect with others.
Now this is easy to understand when it comes to blocks.. but we do it all the time.
 
We have this dream to build our lives… start a business, go to school, change our life & habits, do something big with our gifts and abilities…  But we don’t tell others about it!  We don’t allow others to join with us in building. We don’t have accountability because we have never opened our mouth and told someone what we are going to do…  So that one little Lego just sits there…
Now you might say... "that's not me. I am constantly around people." But you surely agree that you can be around people but never connect.
Legos connect. Blocks stack.
Blocks can be surrounded by other blocks but never connect. The party game Jenga was built on this concept.
Blocks stack. They don't connect. The don't add strength or stability to what you are building... they just kind of are near each other.
People go to night clubs... surrounded by people... but feel all alone.
People have one stands.
