    What is the significance to the fact that when Jesus died, the temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom?

    "With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." - Mark 15:37-38 (NIV) The curtain mentioned is the inner curtain that separates the Holy of Holies from the Holy Place. The holy of holies was where the Ark of the Covenant was located, which ...read more

    Going Up To The Real Temple

    Lepers were outsiders. They were ostracized from society, and could not enter either Temple or synagogue.

    Wednesday of the 32nd week in Course 2023 Ten lepers came as near to Jesus as they dared. That would have been fifty to eighty meters. Their chronic skin condition, maybe Hansen’s disease as we see such infections these days, has ruined their social and religious lives. They were ostracized from ...read more

    In our text for today, the apostle Paul makes the amazing claim that now the church is God’s temple. And we’re not talking about church buildings or services, we are talking about the community of people.

    Alba 3-16-2025 GOD'S TEMPLE I Corinthians 3:16-17 Throughout history people have created structures to be used as places of worship, and offer sacrifices, and to meet with their god or gods.

    Psalm 11:1-7 teaches us to trust in the Lord despite advice to the contrary.

    Introduction Today, I would like to begin our summer series of sermons.

    Jesus Left Behind At The Temple

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 6, 2024
     | 2,066 views

    The account in Luke 2 of Jesus in the Temple reveals two incredible things. First, how wonderful our relationship with God the Father will be when all the effects of sin are removed from our lives. Second, how much our Savior gave up for us and for our redemption when he took humanity on himself.

    Today we have a unique story, in that it’s the only story of Jesus growing up. Only Matthew and Luke give us the nativity, and only Luke tells this ONE story that fills the huge gap between the wise men, and Jesus turning 30 and his Baptism in the Jordan River. I think our imaginations always run ...read more

    A woman spotted an antique copper kettle for $2 at a garage sale. It was badly tarnished, so she asked the man running the sale if he thought the discoloration would come out. “Hmm.

    When Jesus moves in reviving power, He first cleanses the temple and removes the fruitless. Only the humble and watchful will survive.

There is a large crowd gathering along the dusty highway and your peer over the heads of the people in front of you. The crowd is shouting Hallelujah ...read more

It was in front of you, you wanted it and yet something or someone prevented you from having what you wanted. We’ve all ...read more
