But what exactly does Paul mean by "destroying the temple"? And who is he talking to?Spoiler: It’s about His community, His church.Rooted in the historical backdrop of Acts 18 and 19, we look at the formation of the Corinthian church, the arrival of Apollos, and Paul’s own rebuke of factions, jealousy, and pride. This sermon dives deep into the following themes:✅ Jealousy within the body – It rots the bones and erodes the unity of the temple.✅ Following personalities over the Lord – Churches aren’t meant to rise and fall with leaders.✅ Cliques and division – Favoritism and spiritual elitism tear at the foundation.✅ Unstable foundations – The only true yesod (foundation) is Yeshua the Messiah.✅ Pride and worldly wisdom – Thinking we’re wise by worldly standards leads to ruin.We are God’s temple—and we are either building it up or tearing it down. This message challenges us to grow in maturity, walk by the Spirit, and resist the subtle forms of destruction that creep into communities of faith.
