A SEASON FOR LEGACYOur plan connects the past and present with the bridge of progress. David wasto the temple what Moses was to the tabernacle. One was not better than the other.The temple was an extension of a higher plane of worship. Its construction was evidenceof spiritual growth, progress, and advancement. David’s temple preserved theprecepts of faith and updated applications of worship. The new temple clothed oldtruths in new light. In very much the same way, our new worship facility will offer afresh expression to ancient and proven truths and launch a new era of worship. As achurch, we will lean forward but remain grounded in the past.Our plan connects the past and present with the bridge of the supernatural.The temple was a wonderful spiritual upgrade in a physical sense. However, all thegold and marble in the world could not replace the presence of God. In very much thesame way, this new worship center will be a launching pad for divine revelation. It willbe a place whereyoung people find God’s wil for their livesand spiritual wandererscan discover new purpose. It will be a place where future missionaries and pastors willbe called; divine solutions discovered; and God’s Word taught, revealed, andunleashed.The new worship center will also be a launching pad for the supernatural discoveryof gifts, occupations, and problems. The illuminated cross at the main entrance of thebuilding (Image 8 in the Appendix) will serve as a symbol of our church serving as abridge to the supernatural. Aurora First Assembly will continue to be a propheticvoice of healing for the: confused disoriented agitated bewildered demoralized discouraged embarrassed flustered perplexed lost suicidalIn the township of Itteringham, England, there stands a bridge whose history canbe traced all the way back to the 1638. According to the local historian, those early recordsare still legible, although faint with age. The 1638 record reports that when thecommunity needed the bridge, the local church built it. In 1646, it was destroyed by agreat flood and repaired. In 1670, it was restored again due to aging. In 1912, a floodonce again destroyed the bridge, but once again the people of the church and towngathered together to repair the needed link from one side of the river to the other. Interestingly,the most complete history of the bridge is not recorded in the halls of governmentbut in the church registry. That is not surprising for in times of life-changingevents, people find themselves seeking the familiarity and comfort of the church—achurch that uniquely bridges past and present, connecting them with the supernatural;one that is the place of marriages and funerals and baptisms and baby dedications; and37
A STRATEGY TO PERCEIVEone where tears of happiness, grief, repentance, and renewal all flow into the pool ofearthly experience.Our new worship center will be that kind of a place—a wonderful spiritual upgradein a physical sense as was the temple in Jerusalem but also a bridge connecting past andpresent…heaven and earth…and man with the supernatural presence of God.38
