In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 by Steve Cree, we both press on in our 1 Corinthians series but also reflect on the resurrection of Christ, it being Easter Sunday! Thankfully, while the passage may not have an obvious Easter/resurrection link, the whole idea of the ‘presence of the future’ by God’s Spirit is of course only because of Jesus’ resurrection. Christ rising from the dead has ushered in the new age of the Spirit. In Jesus resurrection he has indeed rebuilt the temple as his own body: and we together are that body, that building, that temple, indwelt by his Spirit.
Key Verse
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

I so dearly wait for the day the body of the church grows together as one learning to encourage and support each other in our walk or run with our Father God .Lets strive towards this as a church as if each others life depends on it.
