Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 1, 2023

A jigsaw puzzle is defined as a picture or etching, usually portraying an item of interest, embossed onto cardboard or wood and cut into various pieces of differing shapes and sizes that are purposefully and befittingly joined together.

Sermon # 30 - We Are God's Temple Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 25, 2025

In the Old Testament the temple was the central place of worship. However, in the New Testament the focus is on the church, which is not a building, but a people of God who come together for teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer.

We read in Act 2:46-47, And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. ...read more
