Recorded October 16, 2024 - Wednesday Evening Service
The Pastor went straight into preaching about what the Lord laid on his heart, about Respecting the Church & Keeping the Sanctuary Holy.
This is a day and age where we have an expectation for God to show up in his house, and especially in the most Holy place in his house, the Sanctuary, but we bring the world in with us.
We bring our cell phones, drinks, candy, and every possible distraction the world has to offer, into God's HOLY SANCTUARY, and then when the service is over, we wonder, "Why didn't God show up today?" God was there, you weren't.
God commanded Moses to remove his shoes for he was stepping on Holy ground.
The Sanctuary of a church is intended to be a Sanctuary FROM the World, not OF the world. If any place in a building used for church is to be Holy, It is the Sanctuary, and we must treat it as such.
