This Sunday, we kicked off a brand new series called TEMPLE: Living Strong & Holy a timely and powerful call to view our bodies not as projects or problems, but as places of God's presence. In “The Temple Truth,” Pastor Vincent teaches that our bodies are not our own, we are stewards of what God redeemed. Drawing from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, we’re reminded that how we treat our bodies is spiritual, because God no longer dwells in buildings, He dwells in us.
Key Takeaways:
God’s Presence Changes the Value – The Holy Spirit makes us sacred space.
Ownership Determines Responsibility – We are not our own; we’ve been entrusted.
Redemption Raises the Stakes – Jesus paid for us with His life, and that demands a response of gratitude.
Powerful Quotes from Pv:
“Scripture doesn’t call our bodies trash cans or trophies. It calls them temples.”
“We want God to bless what we’re dishonoring. Stewardship starts when ownership is settled.”
“The Holy Spirit isn’t visiting. He’s dwelling, and that changes everything.”
Reflect + Apply:
Have I surrendered my body to God the same way I’ve surrendered my heart?
Am I treating my physical life in a way that honors the One who lives within me?
This message will help you realign with God’s purpose for your body, break unhealthy patterns, and live stronger, holier, more available lives for His glory.
