What you build your life on determines what you can build with your life.
In this powerful message from Joshua 24:14–15, Pastor Chris Kouba challenges us to draw a line in the sand and make a clear decision: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” This isn’t just about finances — it’s about foundation, obedience, and allegiance.
For five weeks, we’ve been dreaming about what God could do through the United building renovation. But dreams don’t build buildings — and intentions don’t build kingdom impact. Just like a city inspects a foundation before approving renovation plans, God examines the foundation of our lives before building something new.
In this message, you’ll discover:
Why everyone has to choose whom they will serve
How your financial decisions shape your spiritual foundation
The difference between building on rock vs. sand
Why delayed obedience is still disobedience
How generosity grows from spontaneous giving to legacy impact
Using a powerful illustration of a bicycle — from just a tire to a fully equipped electric bike — Pastor Chris walks us through the Path of Generosity:
• Spontaneous Giving
• Continuous Giving
• Priority Giving
• Strategic Giving
• Legacy Giving
Where are you on the journey? More importantly — where is God calling you to be?
This message is a call to move from intention to declaration. From dreaming to deciding. From holding parts to riding the bike.
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” — Book of Joshua 24:15
If this message speaks to you:
✔️ Take your next step in generosity
✔️ Commit your life to Jesus
✔️ Be baptized
✔️ Join us in reaching Northeast Houston and beyond
Your house will stand when it’s built on the rock of obedience.
