Unless the Lord Builds the House
Donald preached this sermon on June 22nd at Word of Grace Church.
Unless the Lord Builds the House
Why Dedication to God Changes Everything
In a world that runs on ambition, deadlines, and self-made success, the ancient wisdom of Psalm 127 reminds us of a deeper truth: “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.”
This verse, shared during a recent Sunday sermon, reveals a profound and often overlooked principle — true significance is found not in what we build, but in who builds with us. Whether it’s our careers, families, dreams, or homes, when God isn’t at the foundation, all our striving is ultimately empty.
Dedication Is More Than a Ceremony
We often associate “dedication” with a one-time event — a child’s dedication, a wedding, or a church service. But real dedication is daily. It’s choosing to say, “God, take my time, my resources, my talents — all of it is Yours.”
