Jesus said, For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Luke 14:28-30

When it comes to a church construction project, whether you are planning a renovation, and expansion, or a new building, Jesus’ question is one we most certainly should be asking. The problem that comes too often is churches don’t count the whole cost.  They simply ask the wrong questions that can lead down the path of answers that in the end, are inadequate.
