Psalm 95

Does anything we do matter?
Ecclesiastes 9
God knows everything,
Because of Jesus God will remember not our sins, but every obedient choice we make.
We need to choose to obey Him.
It is because of what God has already done.

Ephesians 2:11 - 22

Community of people living together.

Tabernacle




Dealing with sin is dirty work.

Hebrews 10:19 - 25
The animal sacrifice is no longer required. Jesus has done it for us permanently. We have a task of encouraging each other in fellowship.
The Glory of God is revealed in us.

1 Corinthians 3:9 - 16

God's people are a holy people.
We don't have to be careful of a building, rather we need to be careful of a community.
Alienation of Jews and Gentiles, but Jesus has brought them together in Him. By the Cross the emity has been destroyed. Alienation replaced by reconciliation.
Those who don't know Christ - don't have hope. They are far off from God.

vs 13
Through Christ we're brought near.
vs 14

The community, rather than a building, is God's temple. We are living stone. The integrity of the community depends on us working together.

The local church is the hope of the world.
But if not, where would it be found?
