The Third Temple

Contributed by James May on Aug 20, 2006

While Israel and world awaits the building of the Third Temple we must realize that the true temple is a spiritual house that each of those who are born again are living stones that make up the House of God.

The Temple Of The Lord

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 21, 2005

Time and again God had warned his people not to worship anything or anyone else but Him, but they continued to do whatever they wanted to do. They were going to the Temple supposedly for the purpose of worshipping the Lord on the Sabbath Day, but were di

Recently, I have been doing an in depth study of some of the major prophets of the Bible. Great men such as Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah have always been favorites of mine (and, I know the same is for some of you). The words of these prophets can bring to us things that we may have never ...read more

The True Temple Series

Contributed by Derek Melanson on Feb 8, 2006

Jesus challenges us to realize that he is the center of our worship, not our facilities, programs, and activities. Just as he cleansed the temple, so he wants to cleanse us.

“The True Temple” John 2: 13 – 22 Introduction: Right now in theatres you can go see the movie version of C.S Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and having seen it a few weeks ago, I can tell you that it is a great movie – and for the most part it is pretty faithful to the book.

The Barren Temple Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003

Christ’s cursing of the fig tree and "cleansing" of the temple caution us about living our lives by mere appearances and trusting in anything other than Jesus.

Appearances can be deceiving. I was reminded of this several years ago when I was waiting in line at a McDonalds with two of my sons. A guy came into McDonalds who looked really suspicious. He had long hair, tattoos everywhere, several body piercings, and he just looked scary. This guy seemed to be ...read more

The Temple Incident

Contributed by David Petticrew on Mar 16, 2003

Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

The story we read today is an interesting one. It’s one that doesn’t really fit with the picture of Jesus that we usually think about. How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more
