Build and Plant | Too Big To Fail?

In Jeremiah’s time, God’s people had fixated their hope on the temple in Jerusalem, assuming that since it was where God lived he would never let anything bad happen to it or the city it was in. Because of this, they didn’t see listening to God’s warnings through Jeremiah as very necessary. So, one day God tells Jeremiah to go and tell everyone God would let the temple be destroyed.

We often attach our security and safety to something like the temple, something good and that God has given to us, but when we make whatever that is an end in itself, God isn’t afraid to let it fail, and replace it with Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Joel discusses what it looks like to search ourselves and see if we’ve got temples in our own lives.
