Welcome to Amen podcast, where we believe the gospel changes everything.

I'm your host, Lockelaani, and in today's episode, Building Different, Alex will be preaching

from 1st Corinthians chapter 3, verses 12 through 17, and we will discover what it means to build

God's temple with excellence. Join us as we challenge conventional thinking about church and

faith and learn why the materials we choose matter for eternity. First Corinthians three verses 12

through 17. If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or

straw, each one's work will become obvious, for the

day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire. The fire will test the quality of each

one's work. If anyone's work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's

work is burned up, he will experience loss, but he himself will be saved. But he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will experience loss.

But he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

Don't you yourselves know that you are God's temple and that the spirit of God lives in you?

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him.

For God's temple is holy, and that is what you are.

Amen.

Amen.

So a patina is like when copper goes from being
