The House for God

The sermon contrasts the temporary earthly structures of the tabernacle and temple with the truth that God does not dwell in houses made by human hands. Drawing from Stephen's speech in Acts, it emphasizes that while these physical places were significant in Israel's history, they could never contain the Creator. The central message shifts to the believer's body as the new dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, urging Christians to examine their lives. It calls for humility, repentance, and a striving toward holiness to create a welcoming habitation for God. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to consider what kind of spiritual house they are building for the Lord through their daily conduct.
