Celebration is an important part of any process of rebuilding! And worshipping God is how we celebrate Him, His faithfulness, and it's what marks us as Christians - we don't just celebrate our own 'wins', we get to celebrate miraculous 'wins' that only happens through the power and presence of God.

All of the effort to rebuild was to precursor to invite everyone (the exiles) back to Jerusalem so they could reorder their lives around God and his kingdom. The same is true for us as a church. As we rebuild we need to remember that we are rebuilding for the sake of those who have not yet come through our doors. This is why we are opening doors to Vineyard campuses all around our city.
