The Church Isn’t the Temple (You Are)

Most Christians think of the church building as “the temple” or “the sanctuary”… but biblically, that’s not true. In the New Covenant, God’s presence doesn’t dwell in a building—He dwells in His people. That means you are the temple. And by extension, your household becomes the front line of worship, holiness, and spiritual leadership.

In this episode, we unpack the biblical meaning of the temple and why fathers must take seriously their role as spiritual leaders in the home. If you’ve grown tired, faced resistance, or felt like your efforts aren’t making a difference—don’t quit. What happens inside your home has eternal significance, and your leadership matters more than you realize. Links in this Episode AW Bootcamp: Aug 21-23 Family Worship by Joel Beeke
