“I Will Build My Church”

by Alistair Begg

Matthew 16:13–20
 (ID: 3308)

When children ask where God lives, we may stumble to respond—but the Bible provides an answer! God doesn’t live in a tabernacle or in outer space, explains Alistair Begg, but in the church, which He is building. In the church, believers are gathered together by the Holy Spirit and placed into union with Jesus Christ and into communion with one another. As “living stones,” we form the temple that is God’s dwelling place.
