The New Temple

In this message Pastor Joel emphasizes that the church is meant to be a culture of goodness where the presence of God is felt. He draws from the book of Acts, particularly the events of Pentecost, to illustrate how the Holy Spirit transformed the followers of Jesus, making them dwelling places for God and empowering them to be witnesses of His kingdom in the world.

Pastor Joel encourages us to recognize that we are not merely forgiven but cleansed by God so that He can reside in us, changing the way we live and interact with the world. He calls us to embrace our role as God's dwelling place and to experience the goodness of God in our own lives, as well as share it with others.
