(30,000 Israelites were drafted to assist along with 153,600 foreigners who lived in Israel.) • The walls of both inner and outer sanctuaries were overlaid with pure gold and adorned with precious stones. Even the nails were made of gold. • In all, 23 tons of pure gold was used to construct the temple. (736,000 oz @ $304.69/oz = $224,251,840.00)

  10. 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV) 16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

  11. God Likes to Fix “Stuff” • He Can Make Something Out of Nothing • He Speaks Light into Darkness • He Brings Order Out of Chaos • He Gets His Hands Dirty • He Breathes Life into Lifeless Situations • He Provides a Covering for Shame • He Gives Beauty for Ashes • He Carries Your Burdens • He Forgives Your Sin • He Wants to Dwell in YOU!

  12. Practical Implications • He Knows My Name • He Knows My Every Thought • He Sees Each Tear that Falls • He Hears Me When I Call

  13. Jesus, come and dwell here, May I be a place you long for, Jesus, come and rescue me from myself and call me your home. Make me a place where you abide, Make me a heart where you reside, Make me a life that doesn’t know anything apart from you.
