21st Century Temples



• What was true about the temple back then should be true about the temple today.



1.The temple was visible.



"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV



2.The temple was a house of prayer.



... “My house is a house of prayer.” Luke 19:46 NKJV



• God doesn’t respond to your perfection. He responds to your prayers.
