Ep. 200 March 23, 2025 | “Build: HUGD” | Adam Woods


Listen Later

In the final message of our BUILD series, Adam Woods wraps it all up with a powerful and personal call to action: If we’re going to BUILD greater maturity and better facilities for God’s glory, the Church must be HUGD.

Yep, HUGD. It’s not a typo—it’s a helpful acronym to remember four core truths about what it means to be the body of Christ:

🙇 H – Humble

We’re not the center of the story—Jesus is. Paul reminds us to think of ourselves with sober judgment. Pride leads to a fall, but humility brings us together.

🤝 U – United

Though many, we are one body—diverse in gifts, backgrounds, and perspectives, yet beautifully unified by Jesus. Without humility, unity is impossible.

🎁 G – Gifted

Every one of us has been given “grace gifts” from God—not to hoard, but to use for the good of the Church and the mission of Jesus. Your gift matters. Your role matters.

🔥 D – Devoted

Transformation doesn’t happen by accident. Paul’s vision in Romans 12 calls us to be devoted to sincere love, joy, patience, prayer, hospitality, and humble service—even when it’s hard.

💭 So… are you HUGD?

Are you choosing humility? Living united with others? Using your gifts for the Kingdom? Living devoted to Jesus in every season?

This final sermon challenges each of us to ask these questions and take our next step—because the success of BUILD doesn’t just depend on plans and construction—it depends on us being the Church Jesus calls us to be.

💡 Ready to take your next step?

Pray. Serve. Use your gifts. Commit to community.

And let’s BUILD a church that’s Humble, United, Gifted, and Devoted—together.
