Houses: House of the Lord

In this exploration of 'Houses' in the Bible, we're invited to reconsider our understanding of God's presence in physical spaces. The story of Jacob in Genesis 28 sets the stage, reminding us that God can turn any place into holy ground. We're challenged to approach our gathering spaces with anticipation, asking 'Is God with us?' just as the Israelites did. The tabernacle and temple weren't just buildings, but symbols of God's covenant and presence among His people. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to see our church buildings not as containers of God's glory, but as tools for His glory. This shift in perspective invites us to be more intentional in our worship and community life, expecting to encounter God wherever we gather in His name. How might this change the way we approach our Sunday mornings or small group meetings?
