Building the House of God: A Journey of Chosen Sons
Sons of God: Chosen to build
the House of God
Eph 1:3-6; Jere 3:14-15
05/11/17
1 Chro 29:1-3
Furthermore King David said to all the assembly:
“My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is
young and inexperienced; and the work is great,
because
the temple is not for man but for the Lord
God.
Now for the house of my God I have
prepared with all my might:
gold for things to be made of
gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron
for things of iron, wood for things of wood, onyx stones, stones
to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of
precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.
Moreover,
because I have
set my affection on the house of
my God, I have given to the house of my God
, over
and above all that I have prepared for the holy
house, my own special treasure of gold and silver:

And I will give you shepherds according
to My heart, who will feed you with
knowledge and understanding.
Heb 12:22-24
22
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the
city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
to an innumerable company of angels,
23
to the general assembly and church of the
firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God
the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made
perfect,
24
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant,
and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks
better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:1-2
1
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded
by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin which so easily
ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the
race that is set before us,
2
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of
our faith, who for the joy that was set before
Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand of the
throne of God.
Building God’s house
1.
Loving what God loves
- His House & His Body/people
2.
God blesses those who build His house, a
place for God’s people to worship Him
- e.g. Centurion (Luke 7:1-10)
