Inspiring Worship sermon

“ Inspiring Worship”
2 Chronicles 7:1-7 and Matthew 18:20, we find ourselves reflecting on the profound presence of God among His people. In 2 Chronicles 7:1-7, we witness the awe-inspiring moment when Solomon completes the temple, and the glory of the Lord fills it, signifying God's acceptance and presence. The fire from heaven and the overwhelming glory that descends emphasize the divine approval and the sanctity of the space dedicated to worship. Meanwhile, Matthew 18:20 reminds us of a more intimate promise: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” This passage underscores that God's presence is not confined to grand buildings or dramatic displays; it is accessible even in the smallest assemblies of believers. Together, these scriptures encourage us to seek and acknowledge God's presence, both in the communal grandeur of church services and the quiet, personal gatherings in His name. The true temple of God is found in the hearts of believers, united in faith, where His spirit dwells among us.
