Summary

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our sermon series, Making Sense of the Church, with a teaching on the Church becoming the Temple of God. From cover to cover, the Bible is a story about God’s desire to be with His people. God isn’t out there somewhere far away, only found in the big and spectacular, or even only reserved for certain pockets of our lives. Instead, God has placed His very Spirit in us, and desires for us to live attuned to His presence so that we may extend the temple and bring Eden to earth.
