Renovating our "house" 1 Corinthians 3:5-17
This sermon was written for Old Stonington Baptist Church for March 21, 2010.
When I say the word “renovate” what comes to mind? Expensive. Too much work. A pain. Wonderful once it is done. Refreshing maybe. Continuing from last week, the 5th Sunday in Lent is upon us, and we are looking to prepare for the sacrifice that Christ made on Resurrection Sunday. The theme today being naturally, renovation. As obvious as it may be, I wanted to see what Miriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary says. The definition reads; to restore to a former better state (as by cleaning, repairing, or rebuilding); or to restore to life, vigor, or activity. Ok…restore. That is a word we are familiar with in the Body of Christ, usually after the end days where we everything will be restored. Let’s look at the definition for restore, just for curiosity sake. The definitions say: to give back or return, to put or bring back into existence or use, to bring back to or put back into a former or original state, and to put again in possession of something. So really, they mean the same thing. When we renovate or restore something, what we are doing is putting something back into a former better state of existence. It was that way once; we just have to make it that way again.
Well, last year, my mother-in-law decided to have some work done to her house. It had been some years since it was last worked on, and it was time to have the roof redone and a room remodeled as well. I was thinking of what I had to do that evening in preparation to the renovation of my mother-in-law’s house, which was turning out to be a daunting task. It hit me that so many times we, as Christians, focus our energy on the physical things of the world without one thought to the spiritual side of our being. Not only that, but we focus a lot of time ministering to others that we lose track of being ministered to ourselves.
These days we do not live in our houses for 50 plus years like those that did in the last century. My grandpa still lives in the house he and my grandma bought and paid for in 1955, even after her passing in 2005. These days instead of staying put, we are more often inclined to move around. With that being said, we still renovate our houses today despite moving around a lot. We make changes every 5 years, maybe more often, maybe less, but still we make changes, no matter how minor. Sometimes people on the outside may not even be able to tell that we have changed something, but you indeed have.
When we go along in our Christian walk, our “wiring”, “plumbing”, and our “rooms” fall apart, we need to take the initiative and “renovate” or “restore” our Christian Homes spiritually. Sometimes our houses get old, need to be renovated but we are stuck in our routine, and we can’t see the forest for the trees. We are too stubborn to see our faults, our hearts have hardened and we in turn start to become stagnant and in dire need of an awakening to the Lord. Have you ever felt like what you were doing was fruitless? Like we are outwardly looking ok but on the inside our walls are crumbling, our paint is peeling off and our wiring is about to set a fire ablaze and consume us? Today we are going to see what 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 has to say on this particular subject.
Let us open our Bibles to 1 Corinthians 3:5-17, that is 1 Corinthians chapter 3, verses 5 through 17. If you would, please follow along.
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. 14 If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. 15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Originally, Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthians, directing it toward the ministers and leadership of the church. They were destroying God’s body of believers. Paul was writing to them to remind them of what they had been committed to previously ministering. In today’s world, we all can take something from this passage, as did the entire Corinthian body of believers. Every member ministry is a term we learn in college. What does it mean you’re asking? Well, I’m glad you asked! What it means is that every member of the family of believers we belong to is a minister. We all have a gift and a ministry from God.
With a history such as this church has, there have many who have come before us. The foundation of our faith was first laid by Christ. Once that foundation was laid, along the line people such as Paul, Apollos, Barnabas, Peter, Luke, John Mark, Martin Luther, John Calvin and many others who have spread the message of God’s saving Grace has continued to spread throughout Europe. Then, somewhere along the line, people came and started founding churches in America. All along, the foundation of the church was the same; the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The foundation that we build upon must be Christ. However, how we build upon that foundation is the instrumental part of the development of the body of believers.
Paul makes a list of six items used to build. The first three are strong materials that will withstand the trial of fire in the final judgment days. In our terms, we need to use tools such as The Bible, Christ’s salvation and The Holy Spirit. We must use all of these tools in order to guarantee the success of our labors. God gives us all gifts, ones that are unique to us and so we can build up the body. No person’s gifts are more or less important than the other, even the minister. As 1 Corinthians 12:24b-26 says, “But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” At the foot of the cross, the ground is level. Each part of the body is vital for the life of the church. 1 Corinthians 12 talks all about this subject.
When I was first called to ministry, I was in high school. However, I did not want the life of a preacher because for some odd reason, I saw it as a dull and boring life. HA! That is funny. I was 26, about 5 years ago, when my grandma passed away, which triggered a powerful dream 3 months later reminding me of my call to ministry. The dream goes like this:
It’s dark. I’m standing in an open sandy beach. There’s a tree in
front of me, lifeless, with no leaves. Around me there are people
I know, some still living, others passed on; my grandma being one.
I stop and talk to people, not really knowing where I am going. As
I get to the dead tree, I start walking to the right around the
tree and now I’m standing in a huge cove on the beach. The ocean
is behind me, a big amphitheatre of rock around all other parts.
Off to my left is a podium of rock on a stage of rock, and Jesus
is preaching to a very large crowd of hundreds upon thousands of
people. It’s as if I’m standing offstage, behind the scenes,
watching as Jesus is preaching. As He walks off the stage, without
saying a word he motions to me to go to the podium. I look at Him
and say, “I can’t go up there!” One more time He motions me to
the podium. I look at the podium and there’s an orange piece of
paper with an obviously unreadable foreign language on it. Once
again I look at Him and say, “I can’t go up there, I don’t know
what to say!” And in a calm and loving voice He says, “I will
teach you. You will know what to say, now go.” I walk up to the
podium and the words flow like I’d never known before. I looked
at Jesus and He nodded and smiled, and walked away.
When I woke up, I was in a frenzy trying to find a piece of paper and a pen. My wife woke up from a dead sleep and looked at me as if I was half out of my mind! I was energized because I knew exactly what kind of dream I had just had. On the other hand, I still resisted wondering why me? Why in the world would God want me to live the life of a preacher? I am no one special, and I surely have not done anything worthy of being a minister. Nevertheless, I realized after a lot of time, 3 years worth actually, prayer and meditation on this subject that the life of a preacher is no better or worse than any member in the congregation. That is where these verses from chapter 3 and a lot of chapter 12 in 1 Corinthians really sank in with me. My role is just as necessary and no more important than the head deacon, the secretary, the long-time member who has had a longer walk with the Lord, or even the brand new convert to Christianity who has a fresh look at how to reach those lost in our world. I realized at that point that I needed a renovation, a restoration of my walk with God. I needed to get back to the foundation of faith that was laid when I was a child, where I grew and walked with the Lord.
As we are building and rebuilding our relationships and ministry in the church, we have to make sure that we are not only using the proper spiritual tools, but the proper gifts that we’ve been given as well. Sometimes we can get jealous and frustrated with how things are going in our walk and we want a change of pace. Our ministry gets to be routine and we do not have the same spirit that we used to. Are we still on fire for God? Are you taking time to keep up your relationship with the Lord? Do you attend a mid-week bible study, function or daily devotion to keep yourself charged up for Christ? A majority of the time, when we feel like this, we just are not taking enough time to properly build our relationship with God. And we must take time for ourselves, because as I said last week, we can only shine Christ’s light out of us, when we are full of Christ ourselves, this is where it goes back to every member ministry. We must not only minister to others, but allow ourselves to be ministered to as well. By not allowing someone else to minister to us, we are depriving them of their ministry.
The consequences of our actions or lack of action can have an effect on those around us. If we have used the proper tools to build up the people around us, at work, school, family, friends and such, then our work will withstand the fire. If we have used worldly things such as religions, supplemental worldly philosophies such as this new Ark of Hope, and things of the like we talked about last week, then our work will be burned up as it says in verse 15 “15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.” Like a stick being pulled out of the fire will we be saved, but those around us whom we’ve worked to build up, we will lose. As Matthew 3:12 says, “12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Pretty much, what it all boils down to? Base what you do on the Bible, Christ’s Salvation, and the Holy Spirit, so the light of Christ can shine out of us to the rest of the world. All that we do, say, and act on should be based on the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. In The New Bible Commentary, D.A. Carson outlines what he describes as “dishonest builders”. I believe that this is right on. He also says that their salvation is not in question, just their work. They relied too much on the world and decided not to follow the way of Christ. As I said in closing last week, a decision is necessary every day. By not making a decision, we are making a decision. The strength of our outward work and ministry that we do for Christ can be seen. We must be strong and faithful and built up in Christ in order for our work to be fruitful. Whether we want it to or not, our true self and how strong we build up the body of Christ will shine through, eventually.
Once we have the right idea on how to strongly build our relationships with God and those around us, we must realize that God is the author of Salvation and the author of change and growth. Earlier in this section of 1 Corinthians, Paul talks about planting the seed, Apollos watering the seed and God as the one who causes growth. Paul, as the missionary, planted the seed of Christ within those present and won them to Christ. Apollos came along and discipled the believers and helped edify, or educate them in the ways of the Lord. God however, was the one who caused the growth, for without God, no seed would be present to plant. We have to remember in all that we accomplish we must not take the credit, because it does not belong to us, it belongs to God. By the grace of God, we grow, and ONLY by the grace of God.
Therefore, what we do should show God. The last two verses in our text for today says that our body is His temple. Not just our physical bodies, but the body of the congregation of believers we gather with. We must care for it, and use it wisely…for ministry, not for ill will. God’s Holy Spirit lives within our physical bodies and with us, because it says in Matthew 18:20, “20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” Our bodies, our family of believers is here today because we all have at least one thing in common. We love the Lord. The Lord is with us, gathered here, in this place today. Are we going to choose the correct tools to build up his kingdom on the foundation of His Son? Will we just go on with our daily lives to wonder what could have happened? We are a family, bound in the same blood of our Savior; we ARE the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Let us look and examine ourselves to see if we need a “renovation” or “restoration” to who we CAN be in Christ.
Don't let your "house" become rusty and stagnant. Make the renovation, the change needed to turn your life around and get out of the routine. It is never too late. Remember every member of the body has a ministry, even you. It may not be a visible ministry, but none the less, it is a ministry, and therefore it is a vital part of this particular body of believers.
My story, my testimony is a long one, but to make it clear and concise, I spent roughly 12 years in the wilderness trying to tell God that I could handle life myself. I walked away from my parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and most importantly, God. It was my life and I did not need anyone else to tell me, including God, what I needed to do. Through it all, God still pursued me. God took me back with open arms. He instituted in me a renovating change that forever has changed my life…for the better. If you have never made the renovating change that comes with the acceptance of Christ as your Savior, I want to share with you that it is not too late. God’s doors are always open for business. We are all here to help along life’s path. That’s why when you are here, you are with family. If you already have accepted Christ, please, take these words in and allow them to renovate the areas in your life that need to be taken care of. Ask the Lord to soften your heart and convict you of what needs changed.
Let’s all renovate and restore our “houses”. Will you stand with me as we sing a hymn of commitment?
When I say the word “renovate” what comes to mind? Expensive. Too much work. A pain. Wonderful once it is done. Refreshing maybe.

So really, they mean the same thing. When we renovate or restore something, what we are doing is putting something back into a former better state of existence. It was that way once; we just have to make it that way again.
