From Tent to Temple

Jan 18, 2026    The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill

In week Three of Temple, Tabernacle, Today, we move from the wilderness tent to the settled glory of Jerusalem’s Temple—and see why both are essential for understanding Jesus and the life of the Church. Tracing the story from Sinai to Zion to Christ, we’ll explore how sacred space reveals God’s holiness and nearness, shapes a people’s identity, and becomes a beacon of mission—a place where heaven and earth meet, and where God’s presence sends us back into the world with hope.
