The temple of ancient Israel served a sacred purpose; it was a reminder that God was among His people. Everything about the building was to demonstrate regality and holiness, including the worship that was offered there. Levites were assigned to sing and play instruments in this worship. What, though, does this have to do with Christians? The Roman army razed the temple, leaving Mt. Zion without this structure for 2,000 years. While the temple of Jerusalem is gone, the idea of the temple lives on, with the Apostle Paul stating that Christians are the temple of God. This study will explore how as “mobile temples,” the people of God offer worship with their voices and hearts; thus, the holiness of the ancient temple lives on in the worship and service of God’s people.
