THE TEMPLE

 [Unfortunately we could not have services this morning so we are publishing this message from May 2010. The recording is a message based on the last point of the outline given below. Apparently when this message was prepared it was meant to be one message but the Word of God is rich and deep and the single message became three separate messages. For continuity's sake the entire outline is herein presented for your enrichment and blessing.]
