You're a temple

The men reported about moving a rock at their men-only meeting. Many of the women were still at the conference at RockRidge Canyon, Princeton. 
Pastor Dwayne shared how the concepts of the temple from the Old Testament was used to describe having the Holy Spirit in us.  It gave us a fresh understanding of God's love for us.

The very touching song at the end was "It is well / Through it all" by Bethel Music. A new release from them.

5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:9-10
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
