Jesus as the Mobile Temple: A New Perspective on Worship

There is no physical temple other than the gathered people of God. The body of Jesus Christ is the temple wherever we gather.
Imagine a world where sacred buildings aren't the focal point of worship. That's the idea Dr. Rick Peterson explores in this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries'. He dives into the moment Jesus declared the Jerusalem temple obsolete, transforming the concept of worship by making his own body the new, mobile temple. This shift means that ministries once centralized in Jerusalem now travel with Jesus throughout Israel and Samaria, bringing spiritual services directly to the people. Dr.
Peterson passionately argues that the true temple of God resides in the gathered people, not in physical structures. This episode challenges us to rethink our traditional views on sacred spaces and invites us to embrace worship in spirit and truth, wherever we are. With a mix of historical context and modern application, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of faith and recovery.
