God is passionate about the House; the Church of Jesus Christ. It is the vehicle through which God will see humanity come to the reality of Him, with Jesus the cornerstone. Just as God’s heart is for His House, as believers, we are called to have a heart for the mission and mandate of the Church. Heart for the House is an opportunity to take significant steps forward as a church. To see more people experience the reality of God through numerous initiatives. What God has accomplished through the sacrificial generosity of many over the last 20 years in Hillsong UK, is nothing short of miraculous. There is so much to celebrate however, in an ever-broken world, there is still so much to be accomplished.
We are blessed to be a part of a church that has multiple locations across the UK; each with their own local communities and needs. We have seen a huge impact through our Heart for the House miracle offerings in establishing many of the existing locations and know the power of this offering in taking big steps forward as a Church. As always, this year’s giving will contribute towards strengthening our existing locations, the buildings, and facilities, as well as supporting the many social justice initiatives we are a part of. As we partner together, we will continue to leave a legacy for the generations to come.
1 John 4:19 (MSG) says, “First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first.” Christ’s command is clear: loving God includes loving people. So, at the heart of this season is the revelation of how we can better love one another in response to Christ’s love towards us. We can’t do everything, but we can each do something. Whether it’s contributing financially, covering the season in prayer or practically serving in one of the many local initiatives, we know that as we each play our part, we will see God’s Kingdom take ground for His glory.
