The tabernacle and temple in the Old Testament were the places where God lived with his people, revealed himself to them, and forgave their sins. Jesus claimed to be this new temple – the place where God lives, reveals himself, and forgives sins. Then, in Jesus, his church becomes a new temple built up as a place for the Spirit to dwell with Jesus being the chief cornerstone.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
