One thing that has always excited me about buying the House of Rock and turning it into a place for church is the spiritual concept of redemption.  I love the fact that we are taking a building that was built for a certain purpose – certainly a purpose that doesn’t have much in common with honoring God – and redeeming it for His Glory.  Here’s a building with a dance pole in the middle of the floor and beer signs everywhere, and it just a couple of months, is going to be used for worship and expanding the Gospel.

What was designed for one purpose will be used for God’s purpose.

That’s a tangible picture of redemption, which is what God has done for many of us.  Our lives were lived for ourselves, but God chose us, saved us, and called us for His Glory.  What started out one way, turns a different way.  I’m glad God rescued and redeemed me.  I’m glad He’s in the redemption business.  And if God can do that with a body, He can do it with a building.
