For the message, Mike read Matthew 7:24-27 and told a story about people who lived at the edge of a dangerous ocean. Every week, they gathered on the beach to make a sand castle. When someone convinced them to build a *real* castle, they chose to make it out of sand. Sometimes, we can’t build what we want out of the tools we already have. The tools of empire will never build the kingdom of God. Which of our tools are made of sand? Which tools are we led to abandon, in order to make room for something new? And what are the new tools that herald the bedrock of something new?
