Joylands Worship
June:
Summer Road Trip:
June we dive into the Bible looking for more of God, asking questions about what makes God tick and how do people fit in and what's in it for us. The month of June we'll find ourselves examining the first places that God showed up with people and hung out. It wasn't Bethlehem, it was the desert. So off to the desert we go and then the land of Canaan to find out where God hung out. First God choose a tent, then a temple. What does it all mean? Why did God even care to have a special place where he could dwell and lead the Israelites and most importantly what does it mean for me, this very day in Lexington Kentucky.
The biggest discovery for most people about God is when they realize God wants to be with them. How does the big fancy tent tell us that? God wanted to dwell with his people then and God still wants to today. Discovering the past about God makes us appreciate what has happened with Jesus and us. No longer does God choose to dwell in a temple with the people. God wants to dwell in us. We are his temple made with the finest material, Jesus Christ's grace and love.
