In this message from Matthew 24:1-2, we explore what happens when the disciples focus on the beauty and grandeur of the physical temple, while Jesus sees something entirely different - a temporary structure destined for destruction.

What we cover:

* Why the disciples couldn't believe Jesus would destroy something so magnificent

* The massive scale and beauty of Herod's temple

* The difference between focusing on what is seen (temporary) vs. unseen (eternal)

* How Jesus became the new temple - the true meeting place with God

* What it means that we are now temples of the Holy Spirit

* Identifying our own "temporary temples"

Key Scriptures: Matthew 24:1-2, John 2:19, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, 1 Peter 1:8

Jesus destroyed the temporary to give us the eternal. His body was broken so that we could become living temples where God meets with us right where we are.

After the Amen: Lokelani shares about how relationships can become temporary temples and the importance of enjoying one-on-one time with God.
