(Hint – This isn’t just about a building, this becomes about your BODY!)

This is an unscripted episode with only teaching points below

Temple: God’s dwelling place

(Moses build God’s tabernacle as the portable temporary dwelling place for God during the Israelites journey. Now they have settled in their Promised Land and it’s time for the permanent temple.)

Instructions for building the temple were given to King David by God, and his son Solomon was chosen to build the temple precisely as God had instructed.

1 Chronicles 28: 19, “Every part of this plan,” David told Solomon, “was given to me in writing from the hand of the Lord.”

GOD IS VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE BUILDING OF HIS TEMPLE!

300 tons of gold + 637 tons of silver + precious stone and jewels

$94 Million for 1 ton of gold today = $28 billion, 200 million

The temple stood for 400 years before being destroyed in 2 Kings 25.

70 years later, the Israelites begin to rebuild the temple (Ezra 3). The alter is built so they could make sacrifices for the atonement of their sins. (Much like our cross today.) Then, the foundation is laid where the old temple was destroyed.

AND THEN AFTER 2 YEARS ALL BUILDING STOPS.

As the building stops, hardship hits.

Haggai 1: 2-11

• EXCUSES SOUNDING SPIRITUAL

• MISPLACED PRIORITIES

• Don’t wait for a crisis to reorder your priorities.

WHEN GOD IS NEGLECTED, NOTHING WORKS RIGHT.

GOD IS SERIOUS ABOUT THE BUILDING AND CARE OF HIS HOUSE. NOW, THROUGH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE DWELLS IN HIS PEOPLE.

1 Corinthians 6: 19, “Your body is the temple that houses the Holy Spirit.”

IT’S TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE CARE OF THIS TEMPLE!

WARNING: IF GOD IS NEGLECTED IN THE PROCESS, NOTHING WILL WORK!!!!

GOD SAYS, REBUILD THIS TEMPLE!

It’s time for temple training, my sisters!

HAGGAI 1:14, “So the Lord sparked the enthusiasm and they began to work on the house of their God.” – Lord, spark our enthusiasm to work on our temple to honor you again.

Start with the cross.
Build the foundation.
Continue consistent, faithful work.

You are of tremendous value!!!!!!
