SUMMARY: The speaker shares a message about where the construction of their new sanctuary is currently at, and how they are in the final stretch of completing it. They compare it to a marathon, where the last stretch is where the winner is decided, and they encourage the congregation to give their all in this final push. The speaker also cites the Apostle Paul's fundraising efforts as an example of how even great leaders in the Church have to sometimes put on the hat of project manager and talk about money. The goal is to complete the new sanctuary by the end of the year, and the speaker encourages the congregation to fulfill their commitments and promises to the Lord.
The Church of Jesus Christ has many different jobs, including working hard and talking about money. The Bible talks a lot about money, and the Lord Jesus Christ spoke continuously about money. It is a privilege to give to the Lord, and it is by grace that we give to Him. We are a blessing to the city with our example, and we must complete the work for the advancement of His kingdom. The Church has been able to offer the Lord a wonderful offering in a time of great economic tribulation. Giving to the Lord beyond our strength is where God glorifies Himself the most. There is nothing like living generously towards the Lord, and God takes care of our lives when we put His business first. It is a privilege to give for the Lord's service, and God loves a cheerful giver.
The speaker expresses gratitude to the congregation for their generosity and faithfulness in giving towards the building of a new temple. He emphasizes the importance of giving cheerfully and as a privilege to participate in the work of the Lord. While the project is nearing completion and the budget has remained steady, there is still a need to fulfill the remaining $500,000 in formal promises made by the congregation. The speaker encourages those who have made promises to complete their commitment and assures them that every contribution, formal or informal, is valued and appreciated. Overall, he is optimistic about the future and believes that the best times are ahead for the congregation.
The pastor is asking for donations to complete the construction of a church building. They have already raised $822,000 and need an additional $270,000. The bank has offered a short-term loan for this amount, but the church needs to promise to pay back $400,000. The pastor is asking for generous offerings and promises in faith to meet this promise to the bank. The additional funds are also needed for new chairs, carpet, and audiovisual equipment. The pastor encourages the congregation to conceive a vision of faith and make a generous offering to complete the project. Forms are available for making promises and donations. The pastor prays for God's blessings on the congregation and their giving.

I want to share with you a message that has to do with where we are right now in our construction stage. In November, I started looking in my calendar, the agenda, and I said, when was the last formal presentation to the congregation, you will remember that projection that I did, a powerpoint presentation, perhaps you will not remember much but you will They will remember a ship passing through the strait, right? People record images many times, they don't remember what one says, but the illustrations are remembered.
That ship, he was talking about, how this construction project was an extremely tight and demanding thing, and you will also remember the image of some runners, some marathon runners, who looked tired and drowned but kept going in the race. And that in November, I gave you some projections, some things, and I was telling you when we got to about five or four and a half months into construction, I was going to appear before you again to let you know where we were, and push and finally reach that goal, and I wanted to give you some projection, some things, we have reached that point thanks to the Lord, and with the help of the Lord we are planning to finish in December of this year, there are still four months of effort left.
