Title: Rebuilding Eden: God’s Dwelling and Our Accountability
Date: June 15, 2025
Passage: I Corinthians 3:16-23 The Apostle Paul warns that the church is not a place to elevate man’s wisdom or to compete in pride. Instead, it is God’s holy temple, where His Spirit dwells. In this message, Pastor Jarrod Stotmeister teaches how we must take seriously how we build upon Christ’s foundation, for it is sacred ground—and we are accountable to God. I Corinthians 3:16-23
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
