Background: 480 years after the Exodus from Egypt Israel is now ready for God to permanently dwell in Jerusalem. Solomon builds the first Temple and God certifies it with his presence.
Going Deeper group study questions:
Read 1 Kings 8:23; Deut 7:9; Neh 1:5; 9:32; Dan 9:4
What is God’s part of his covenant? What is ours?
Read 1 Kings 8:27; 2 Chr 2:6; Ps 139:7–16; Is 66:1; Jer 23:24; Acts 7:49
Can God be contained in one place?
Read 1 Corinthians 6; Eph. 3:17
God moved from Sinai > tabernacle > temple > us
How then should we protect ourselves from sin?
Discuss in relationship to the temple how we can become clean if we have become unclean.
