I think you know exactly what I'm talking about, but I'll humor you anyway.
If the 120 would have stayed in the Upper Room, the entire continent of Asia could not have been evangelized in the space of 2 1/2 years.
If someone would have said "Let's build a monument here, stay here, continue this work" then the outpouring couldn't have multiplied throughout the world.
When the disciples witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus, Peter said "Hey, let's stay here and build three tabernacles, it's good for us to be here, let's not leave!" But, Jesus said, "No, this was important for you to be a part of, but your work is out there in the cities and villages, not up here on this mountain worshipping some shrines".
If I understood the initial post, the preacher indicated that if a church didn't last, then the entire thing wasn't of God. I don't believe that at all.
SOMETIMES ITS NECESSARY FOR GOOD THINGS TO END SO BETTER THINGS CAN BEGIN......
Isaiah 43
18Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
If I misunderstood the point of the statement, I'd be happy to reconsider.
