Dr. Brian Lee explores how King Hezekiah’s restoration of the Old Testament temple provides a blueprint for New Covenant believers. By focusing on revelation, consecration, and submission, we learn to honor God as His living temples.

• 1The Old Testament temple accounts provide practical instructions and warnings for New Covenant believers on how to honor God with their lives.
• 2Backsliding is often a gradual progression that begins with simply forgetting to think about God in daily life.
• 3Consecration requires the intentional removal of 'filth'—both internal attitudes like pride and external influences that hinder holiness.
• 4True worship and spiritual songs are the natural result of a life that has been cleansed and surrendered to God's authority.
• 5Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the temple and the sacrifices, providing the grace for our continual sanctification.

Practical ways to apply this message to your life.

• Audit your 'temple doors' by evaluating what media, conversations, and influences you allow to enter your mind and heart through your eyes and ears.
• Practice 'continual consecration' by setting aside time daily for honest confession and repentance rather than treating it as a one-time event.
• Strengthen your spiritual attentiveness by taking notes during sermons and filtering all worldly information through the lens of Scripture.
• Identify one specific area of 'filth'—a habit, a possession, or an ungodly influence—and take a practical step to remove it from your life this week.
• Commit to 'facing' God throughout the day by intentionally meditating on His faithfulness during mundane tasks or transit.

• Thank God for His Word and the truths revealed in this message.
• Pray for understanding and wisdom to apply what you've learned.
• Ask the Holy Spirit to help you live out these truths in your daily life.
