MIRACLE SUNDAY is COMING           Pastor Bob Chroninger 
Trinity C.U. 10-8-00 A.M.  		 Exodus 35:4-35     
	It has been nearly two years since Trinity voted to build a "multi-purpose" building.  We 
have prayed.. discussed.. planned.. (and changed plans).. raised some funds.. and now we are very 
close to getting started on the actual building. We have planned for a "Miracle Sunday" again to 
see what God will do for and through His people here at Trinity...  We can be encouraged by looking 
at the past...
 ** God Had Brought Them Out.. (to bring them in..)  Ex.6:7,8
 ** God Was Instructing Them.. 
	- The Commands.. He wanted them to be Obedient 
	- The Instructions about the Tabernacle.. He wanted to dwell in their midst.. Ex.25:8
 ** God Expected Them To Do What They Could..
	- Giving from what God had given them.. Ex.3:26; 12:32 
	- Giving offerings of various items.. 35:5-9 
	- Giving by Everyone..  men, women, everyone, rulers.. 35:22-27 
	- Giving Generously..  had to be restrained.. WOW! 36:6 
	- Giving of their abilities.. 36:1..
 ** God Adorned Their Work With His Presence!! 
	- Moses "finished" the work.. Ex.40:33 
	- And.. the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.. 40:34 
NOW... WHAT WERE THE KEYS TO THEIR SUCCESS ??? 
I.  THEY WERE PEOPLE WITH A CLEAR VISION.. 
  A. Their Leader Had Precise Directions.. "this is what I want done.." 
    1. When there is no vision... Prov.29:18 
  B. The People "Bought" the Vision.. 
    1. Our building plans are developing...
    2. Our building functions will develop...
	- It will be a multi-purpose building..  a variety of activities and uses
	- It will accommodate children, youth, parents, grandparents, women, men, seniors...
	- It will be used for "outreach" opportunities
	- It will be used for training Youth Ministers in conjunction with CUBC. (hopefully)
	- It will be used to reach and bring people into a saving relationship with Jesus Our Lord.
	   - Evangelism, Fellowship, Discipleship.
II.  THEY WERE PEOPLE WITH "STIRRED" UP HEARTS..    35:21,26; 36:2 
  A. They Were "Excited".. intensive and causative.. 
  B. They Were "Enthusiastic"  (to be filled with a "god") 
    1. Positive enthusiasm is contagious (as is negativism) 
III.  THEY WERE PEOPLE WITH "WILLING HEARTS".. 
  A. Willing To Obey the Lord's directions for His Tabernacle 
  B. Willing To Give the Materials for the Lord's Tabernacle 
  C. Willing To Work to Accomplish the Lord's Tabernacle
 ** Where there is a "will" there is a way! 
       We must know the "What" that God wants done... 
       We must trust God for the "How" of what He wants done! 
WHO THEN IS WILLING ??? 
	1 Chr 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all 
	manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate
	his service this day unto the LORD? (KJV) 
WHEN WE ARE WILLING... 
	2 Cor 8:3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing 
	of themselves; (KJV) 
	2 Cor 8:12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath,
	 and not according to that he hath not. (KJV) 
LET'S KEEP THE VISION... 
   LET'S BE "STIRRED" UP... EXCITED... 
      LET'S BE WILLING...  and NOVEMBER 5 WILL BE A MIRACLE SUNDAY! 	AMEN!
