It Happened at the Temple - Part 1
The Place Where Redemption Happens
It Happened at the Temple - Pt 1 - The story of the building and dedication of the Temple is rarely studied by Christians. But so many details of this story are significant: Why it was built, where it was built, the prayer Solomon prayed at its dedication. The story of the Temple gives us a glimpse of who God is, and what He hopes for us. He will always make a place for redemption.

If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
