Presence Over Performance
Sep 28, 2025 • Michael Lawing
This sermon explores the construction of Solomon's temple and its spiritual significance, drawing parallels between the physical temple and the believer's heart as God's dwelling place. It emphasizes that God desires faithful fellowship over mere ritual, and that true worship stems from a transformed heart rather than outward religious performance. Pastor Michael challenges listeners to prioritize genuine relationship with God and to actively make disciples, warning against the dangers of formalism and empty religious activity.
