     | 17,028 views

    In 1 Chronicles 29:1 David says, the temple will not be for man, but for the Lord God. David then provides an example of how we should give our time, talent and treasure to the Lord.

    HOW SHALL WE GIVE TO THE LORD? 1 CHRONICLES 29:1-20 INTRODUCTION: David’s heart desire was to build a house for the Lord. But because David was a warrior who had shed blood God would not allow him to build the temple. Instead David’s son, Solomon would have that privilege. Although David would not ...read more

    We are each the temple of God. Explore parallels between the evolution of God’s tabernacle and the building of spiritual equity in the "starter home" of God’s Kingdom within us.

    This past week I visited my hometown in Fairport, NY to see my family. One of the places that I wanted to see was my childhood home. My childhood home is rather modest. It’s a small ranch with just three tiny bedrooms, one bathroom, and contains only about nine hundred square feet of living ...read more

    As Christians we are still in the world, we participate in culture, business, almost everything – however, we are of a different substance, our treasure is elsewhere our citizenship is in another land. Everything HAS changed!

    Dakota Community Church February 27, 2011 End of the World 2 Ephesians 2:1-3 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are ...read more

    Let’s look at the most important purpose for our church building. Let’s learn Jesus’ reason for driving the merchants out of the temple court in John 2:13-25.

    Prelude What kind of worship do we have here? Is it just a cabaret with Christian songs? Is it easy worship without self-sacrifice, or is it real worship from the heart? Purpose Let’s look at the most important purpose for our church building. Plan Let’s learn Jesus’ reason for driving the ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 3 – Judah Despised The Temple – Now All The Precious Things Have Gone - Chapter 1:7-10 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 26, 2025
     | 252 views

    Jeremiah continues to list Judah’s losses after the Babylonian invasion. All her precious things have gone; the nation is exposed in shameful defeat; the Temple which was sacred was stripped by Babylon, even the holy of holies violated.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 3 – JUDAH DESPISED THE TEMPLE – NOW ALL THE PRECIOUS THINGS HAVE GONE - CHAPTER 1:7-10 Currently we are looking at Jeremiah’s description as a summary of the catastrophe that befell Jerusalem. Times were horrible but reality of the bad conditions clarifies the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 18, 2025
     | 342 views

    The LORD is blamed for the destruction of Judah and the Temple and the wall and gates, but it was brought about by the people’s gross s in. Today's verses see destruction God allowed in His permissive will. So much sin today is “allowed” by God in this age of grace, but a reckoning to come.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 8 – DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, WALL AND GATES OF JERUSALEM, THE WHOLE JEWISH CEREMONIES GONE - CHAPTER 2:6-9 Jeremiah laments the overthrow of his nation by Babylon’s ruthless army and all around him is destruction.

    Why would God put His Spirit inside us a sealof our salvation? He could have used anything ot "mark" us as His. Why do it this way?

    A 4 year old boy was visiting his aunt’s home. She was pregnant with her first child and she allowed him to place his hand on her belly and feel the baby kick. His little face scrunched and said, "How does the baby get out of there?" She wanted to keep it simple so she said, "The doctor will ...read more

    True prayer is based in the covenant and promises of God, which He has given us in Christ Jesus.

    A RESTING PLACE FOR THE ARK OF GOD. Psalm 132. King David, ‘the man after God’s own heart’ (Acts 13:22), wanted to bring the ark-of-the-covenant up to Jerusalem. ‘We consulted it not in the days of Saul,’ he reasonably reasoned (1 Chronicles 13:3).

    "Jesus of Nazareth: The King of the Jews” … the spotless Lamb of God … the perfect Sacrifice. His blood saved all of humanity … from Adam all the way up to you and me … and from now on, no other sacrifice is needed, amen?

    Around the First Century, experts and historians estimate that at least a hundred thousand pilgrims would descend upon Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Some of them would come from as far away as Cyrene in northern Africa … Macedonia, Thrace, and Pontus along the Black Sea … Cyprus … Ephesus, ...read more

    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

    TWO YOUNG PIGEONS: Jesus’ family gave the poor offering. - Luke 2:24. - Leviticus 12:8. - Unless you know the Old Testament background, the mention of dove/pigeon offering is one that we would pass right over. We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more

    With every pound of the nail, the leprosy of our sins disappeared. With every drop of his blood our spirits became whiter and cleaner and brighter. When He walked away from the empty tomb we were spiritually new creations with hearts and souls as pure and clean as the day that we were born, amen?

    Hello … my name is Joram. I was born and raised in the sleepy little Samaritan town of Shiloh. Never heard of it? I’m not surprised. It’s about a 100 miles south of nowhere.

    Jesus was born to be called "Immanuel" - to be "God with us". What was it about the Temple that made it a symbol of how Christ intended to be "with us" as Christians?

    There was a priest who served in large city, and one cold day in December he discovered that the baby Jesus - that had been his church’s manger had been stolen. He reported it to the police and he explained to them “We’ve just got to find that baby. He’s the only Jesus these people have ever ...read more

    The custodians of Temple worship were exploiting true worshippers coming to God. As custodians of the gospel we need to make sure we don’t do the same thing
