Listen "Sanctuaries and Sacrifices"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon unfolds the profound biblical metaphor of the church as a spiritual house built from living stones, centered on Jesus Christ as the cornerstone, drawing from 1 Peter 2:4–5 to reframe the church not merely as a community of believers but as a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices to God. It traces this imagery from Eden as the original sanctuary, through the tabernacle and temple in Israel's history, to the ultimate fulfillment in Christ, who, as the once-for-all sacrifice, has opened a new and living way into God's presence, making believers priests who now approach God with confidence. The core of worship is not ritual but a continual offering of oneself—body, mind, and spirit—through repentance, praise, thanksgiving, generosity, and service, all empowered by Christ's atoning work and lived out in daily life. The sermon emphasizes that true worship is not confined to Sunday but is a priestly vocation of holiness, humility, and sacrificial love, reflecting the church's identity as God's dwelling place where heaven and earth meet through Christ.
