Part 3: Presence Over Place

When Israel builds the temple, God’s glory filled the house, and everyone celebrated the fact that God was with them. But over time, just like many of us, they began to trust the symbol more than the God it pointed to. Eventually, the temple became a symbol of pride rather than presence. But just like God reminded them, He wants us to understand that His true dwelling is with those who are humble and obedient. When stop trying to contain God in a building, we quickly discover He will fill us with His life changing presence.
