A Compelling Church

Imagine sitting down to tackle a jigsaw puzzle. You work carefully, starting with the edges, then filling in the middle, watching the picture slowly come to life. But just as you near the end, you spot something frustrating—one piece is missing.

A completed puzzle with a missing piece just doesn’t feel right. It draws the eye, making that small, empty space more noticeable than all the pieces that fit together perfectly. And yet, this is precisely how God builds His Church—not as a finished picture with clean edges, but as a constantly growing masterpiece with missing pieces that are yet to be found.

Being a church that constantly grows requires sacrifice. It means choosing to serve instead of sitting comfortably. It means welcoming interruptions because they might be divine appointments. It means recognizing that someone in your life—someone you already know—might be the missing piece God is asking you to reach.

So, who’s missing from your puzzle? And what will you do about it?
