Remembering, Rejoicing and Moving Forward

This farewell sermon marks the final Sunday service in Cottonwood Christian Fellowship's current building before moving to their new facility. Pastor Green leads the congregation through a deeply emotional yet hopeful reflection on the sacred memories created within these walls while emphasizing that God's presence is not confined to any building. The message balances honoring the past with embracing the future, reminding the congregation that they are the true temple of God—living stones being built into a spiritual house. Through biblical examples of God's mobile presence (the tabernacle, Solomon's temple, and the early church), the pastor establishes that God moves with His people and that the best days of the church are still ahead. The sermon celebrates 10 years of ministry, including 200 baptisms, while acknowledging the grief of transition and the excitement of expanded kingdom capacity in the new building.
