John Crisp’s sermon on “A Tour of the Temple” gave examples of God’s displeasure with the people of Israel using scriptures, primarily Ezekiel, because of their abominable sins they harbored in their hearts. John compared the sins of Israel with the sins we can have within us. Using the temple to represent our bodies and minds, John challenged us to clean our temples daily.
John used the following scriptures: Ez. 8:1-18, 2 Chron. 26:16, 1 Cor. 6:19, 3:16, 2 Cor. 6:16, 10:12, Gal. 3: 5-10, rom. 6:12, col.3:13, Ez. 11:12, Ps. 85:8 and Jonah 2:8.

John,
As usual, your sermon was a blessing to me. It is amazing to me how the sermons, composed by different speakers, point us to the same direction for our lives. Jeff’s sermon, last week, called us to a life of holiness. . . much as yours did. This is surely what we need, as the world becomes less and less friendly to children of God. Thank you so much for pointing out the anger of God when we so blatantly refuse his love, mercy and grace. There is no higher calling than God’s call on our lives. God bless you, John. Love to you and June, as you exhibit these qualities in your lives!
