WHERE CAN WE WORSHIP GOD?
Is church a good place to God? Definitely! It is nice to go to a special building to be with others who love God, want to learn more about Him, want to sing praises to Him, want to worship Him, want to pray to Him, and want to share His love with others. Is church the only place where you can worship God? Definitely NOT! No man-made building can hold God. In Acts 6:8-8:1, we read about the Jews who did not like a man named Stephen saying that the Jewish Temple was not where God lived and was not only place to worship God. They did not understand that true faith not need a special building. “The God who made this world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands” (Acts 17:24). God is not in a building. People can meet God anywhere. Jesus, God’s son, died for our sins and those people who believe this will receive God’s Holy Spirit and God will live in them. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and Spirit of God dwells in you”( 1 Cor 3:16). This is very exciting news but the Jews in Acts 6:8-8:1 did not believe what Stephen told them so they threw stones at him.
THIS WEEKS MEMORY VERSE:
“Put your hope in God…” (Psalm 42:5)
