A Truly Grand Opening

It’s been nearly three years since our humble beginnings in the auditorium of Viera High School. Who would have imagined that in that short time we would have grown to almost 1500 adults regularly attending services at CCMV. God is GREAT! He has provided us with the perfect foundation on which to continue building His church. When I last wrote to you I reflected on our efforts last weekend as we wrote our most loved Bible verses on the floors of our new building…and I wondered what God had in mind for us. You know it didn’t take long for Him to tap me on the shoulder and remind me what our next mission will be. He has provided us with all the tools we need to expand His Kingdom and we will rise to that mission with all our heart, all our soul, and all our mind. The "Great Commission" given to us in Matthew 28:19 tells us clearly what we need to do next; "…go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." I am confident that if we begin with our Brothers and Sisters in Brevard County our Father will be most pleased. Did you know that our new building was designed with the future expansion of the main sanctuary in mind? Let’s start today…and push out on every wall and up and every ceiling in our lives. Let’s begin today to introduce our friends and neighbors who don’t know Him to the wonders of His grace and the abudunant gifts He has for each of us. It’s like the song from Audio Adrenaline says: "It’s a Big, Big House…with a big, big yard, and a big, big table…" with lots of room for EVERY one. Our first services together in our new building are scheduled for the weekend of November 14th and 15th. Let’s make it not only a "Grand Opening" for our building, but let’s make it a "Grand Opening" of our hearts to the community once again. Now we have room for everyone at His table!

The Floors of God’s House

We have watched the construction of our new building for many months now and as we near its completion and the first weekend that we will worship together within its walls I began to think a lot about the different parts of the building itself. It’s interesting to think about what parts of the building we would consider the most important. Some would feel that the roof above our heads is the most important, others might feel that the walls that surround us are the most important, and still others might feel that the windows or the doors are most important. While I am not sure what physical part of the building is considered the most important, I am particularly drawn to the floors. Why the floors? The floor is where we stand. The floor is what gives us our support. No matter where we are in the building we are always standing on the floor and as we stand on the floor we also stand on the Word of God. This past weekend we took the opportunity to express our love for God’s Word by placing those Bible verses that are most meaningful to us on the floors of our new building. The floor of each room is now filled with those verses that are most meaningful to you…God’s children… and even though those verses will soon be covered by tile the strength of those words will support us every day. While it will always be true that we will be literally standing on the Word of God when we are in our new building, it is important that we remember to use God’s Word as the “floor” of our lives each and every day. I’m excited about where CCMV is headed in the months to come and know that we will always be strong with the Word as our foundation…both literally and spiritually.
