The House That God Built

(Genesis 3:8, Exodus 25:8-9, Exodus 33:3, Haggai 1:7-11, 2 Chronicles 7:19-22, Ephesians 2:19-22)

Exodus 25:8-9 ⁸ “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. ⁹ Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

In the Bible, it took just over one chapter to describe the creation of the whole world, but it took six chapters to describe all the information about the Tabernacle.  How do the lessons of the Tabernacle apply to the Church today:

1. The Church is here by G_______ design, not O_________.
2. The Church is not just a S___________ of God. It is a F____________ part of His plan.
3. The Church is a place where we come to M______ God and to find F_____________.
4. All of God’s people are supposed to be I________________ in building His Church.
5. The appearance of the Church should A_____________ reflect the G___________ and C______________ of our God.

God has charged us with not only B______________ his message to the world, but he has also charged us with B____________ his message to the world. 

Take Away Lesson:  In our spiritual temple, each one of us is a living stone in the Temple of Almighty God and we each need to be the best stone we can be and in our physical temple, we need to keep a building that honors and glorifies our God.

Ephesians 2:21-22 ²¹ In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. ²² And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
