WELCOME to Talk 5 of our series, HOW DID WE GET HERE? Making Sense of Life When Everything Falls Apart—A Bible Study on The Exile. The New Temple. A new world superpower, Persia, defeated Babylon. Persia did not set the Israelites free, but it allowed the Israelites to go back home to Jerusalem. They returned and rebuilt a new Temple. But it was not as grand as their former Temple. God did not intend for them to have just a building or a house. God gave them a Person as their New Temple–Jesus Christ. He would live in them, and they would be God's House. That's what you are now. The key message of Talk 5 is: You Are God's House.

Holy Spirit - Part 9 - The New Temple (Acts 2) Pastor Ron Laney, Pleasant Grove Church, Carthage, MS. www.PleasantGrove.info
Read OnlineThe Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of these are you trying to stone me?” The Jews answered him, “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy. You, a man, are making yourself God.” John 10:31–33The reason these Jews were so angry that they “picked up rocks to stone Jesus” was because He had just declared, “The Father and I are one” (John 10:30), a statement they understood as blasphemy. Through His words and works, Jesus identified Himself as the Messiah and Son of God. However, the religious leaders refused to believe.This controversy took place during the Feast of the Dedication—Hanukkah, a celebration that commemorates the rededication of the Temple in 164 B.C. The Temple had been defiled by Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 B.C., who tried to eradicate Jewish worship by introducing Greek customs and pagan sacrifices. He desecrated the altar by offering unclean animals and setting up a statue of Zeus within the Temple.In response, Judas Maccabeus led a Jewish rebellion that reclaimed the Temple, purified the altar, and rededicated it to the worship of the one true God. According to tradition, only one day's worth of pure oil was available to light the menorah, but it miraculously burned for eight days—the foundation of Hanukkah. Although this feast was not originally prescribed in the Law of Moses, it became an important celebration of God's faithfulness and the triumph of light over darkness.Why is this important to understand? Just as Jesus was not only the Son of God, one with the Father, but also the Messiah and Savior, He came to establish Himself as the New Temple, Altar, High Priest, and Lamb of Sacrifice. Just as Hanukkah celebrated the light of the menorah, Jesus symbolically revealed Himself as the Light of the World, who draws His sheep out of the darkness of sin and ignorance.Although the religious authorities tried to arrest Jesus in the Temple, He escaped their grasp and retreated across the Jordan River to the place where John the Baptist had baptized. He remained there for some time, nurturing His followers' faith in preparation for the events of Passover. Many who came to Him during this period testified, “‘John performed no sign, but everything John said about this man was true.' And many there began to believe in Him” (John 10:42).During these final months, Jesus stayed with His disciples in the wilderness, preparing them for what was to come. It was in this period, just before Passover, that He raised Lazarus from the dead—an event that further agitated the religious leaders, who began plotting more seriously to kill Him.Just as Jesus' mission was filled with challenges, hope, and tension, so too are our lives. His journey sheds light on our own spiritual path. The three to four months between Hanukkah and Passover were a time of spiritual preparation as Jesus prepared His followers for what was to come. Reflect today upon being with Jesus during this time. As you do, consider our Lord's serenity as He encountered hostility in the Temple and retreated to the wilderness.Reflect on His patience and the care He showed in preparing His disciples for His final Hour of glory. Ponder the emotions and teachings that filled this period—hope, tension, and expectation—and resolve to follow our Lord faithfully as He prepares to enter Jerusalem for His Passion. Unite your own hope, tension, expectations, and uncertainties with our Lord, praying for the grace you need to fulfill your life's mission in union with Him.My determined Lord, You were fully committed to fulfill Your divine mission. As the Messiah, You were the New Temple, High Priest, Altar, and Lamb of Sacrifice. You are also the Good Shepherd, leading all of Your sheep to imitate You and to lay their lives down for others. Please give me Your wisdom and courage so that I am prepared to follow You into Holy Week and lay my life down in union with You. Jesus, I trust in You.

Series: Gospel of John: The True LightService: Wed Bible StudyType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Josh McKibben
On Sunday, John-Mark continued our series "Foolish Wisdom: A Study in First Corinthians." Paul's first letter to the Christians in the city of Corinth contains his thoughts on the good news of Jesus as God's "foolish wisdom." Paul's radical faith in the crucified Saviour challenges its hearers in the 1st and 21st Centuries. What insight and encouragement might we gain from "listening in" to Paul's five "essays" as we think about responding to the challenges of our own time: both within the Church and in Western culture?

1 Cor 3:16-23 In our passage this evening Paul is going to talk about a new temple, but not the kind of temple we might imagine. He's not constructing a physical building. He is building something spiritual. And He invites His people to be a part of it. What requirements does God have for His construction crew as it were? And why is this building so important to Him? We consider those questions as Pastor Andrew resumes his study in the book of First Corinthians.
In this episode, we focus on John 2:12–14 and take a close look at what the temple had become. A place meant for prayer, worship, and meeting with God had been overtaken by noise and business. Merchants filled the courtyards with animals, money changers set up tables to profit off travelers, and the holy atmosphere was drowned out by bargaining and exploitation. The temple—God's dwelling place among His people—had turned into a marketplace, far from the reverence it was intended to hold.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Every baptized Christian, however small or obscure, bears a dignity that no earthly monument can rival. The Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran that we celebrate today reminds us that the Church is not first of marble or of gold, but of souls. The colossal statues of the twelve apostles that line its nave are not merely ornaments of stone, but symbols of the living reality upon which Christ builds His dwelling. Those massive figures, carved by human hands, point to a greater mystery: that the same Christ who made Peter a foundation and John a witness has made of every believer a living stone in His eternal temple.It is a humbling and exalting thought that we, so frail and often faithless, are chosen to bear the weight of glory. The Church's beauty does not depend upon the grandeur of her buildings but upon the grace alive in her members. Even the smallest Christian, hidden in prayer or quiet service, adds a line to the architecture of heaven. The apostles stand in their marble stillness as reminders that our own lives are being hewn and fitted into a structure far greater than any basilica.Thus, as we look upon the Lateran's soaring arches and its steadfast saints of stone, let us remember that the true cathedral is being built not in Rome alone but in every human heart that has been washed in the waters of baptism. Each of us, by grace, is part of that living edifice, one in which the Builder Himself has chosen to dwell.And perhaps this is the deepest wonder of all: that the Master Builder works not with flawless material, but with what is cracked and common. The apostles themselves were not marble when He called them, they were fishermen, tax collectors, doubters, and sinners. Yet through the fire of His love, they were made steadfast, and their weakness became strength. So too with us: our imperfections, offered to Christ, become the very texture through which His light shines. In every heart that yields to grace, the living stone is shaped a little nearer to its final beauty. The Church grows not by triumph or grandeur alone, but by the quiet chiseling of repentance, forgiveness, and charity until, at last, the whole structure resounds with one voice, a temple radiant with the presence of the living God. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Homily - Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome - The Body of Christ, The New Temple
Today we have the unique opportunity of celebrating the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, the Cathedral of Rome. Our readings today zoom in on the Temple, and in our first reading we are privileged to hear the vision of the prophet Ezekiel of the healing waters flowing from the side of the New Temple. In John's Gospel, Jesus is revealed to be the New Temple, and at the end of John's Gospel, water in addition to blood flows from the open side of the Savior, making clear who Jesus is: The True Temple from whose Heart flows the healing water that is our medicine and salvation.

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, and Brad East explore the theological significance of the tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament, discussing their roles as divine dwellings, their relationship to Israel's kingship, and their implications for understanding God's presence among His people. The conversation also looks into the destruction and rebuilding of the temple, the church as the new temple, and the counter-temple polemic in the New Testament, ultimately reflecting on how these themes shape our understanding of God's dwelling with humanity.

Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled but do Christians know what to look out for? Do we know where to be looking in the Middle East for the Anti-Christ because the Bible tells us the region he is coming from? Do we know a new Jewish Temple will be built and that is a sign the return of Jesus is close? Do we see what is going on in Israel as "Biblical Prophecy" being fulfilled?

During our Advent series, we will be exploring the ways that God draws near to humanity throughout the Bible. We will begin in the Garden, then the tabernacle and temple, then Jesus' birth, and then the sending and filling of the Holy Spirit that makes us His temples. We want to celebrate that God has always desired to be with His people, and He has always been moving nearer and nearer so we could know Him, and live life with Him.This Advent, we celebrate the arrival of Jesus with the theme “God Draws Near.” Through Scripture, we'll explore how God's movement has always been toward humanity, revealing His love and desire to be with us. Join us as we reflect on the power of His presence in our world and our lives.This week, Pastor Jim Mullins teaches out of John 16:7.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemptiontempe&source=externalOR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/redemptiontempe...Twitter: https://twitter.com/redemptionTEMInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redemptiontempe....GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.
