Ephesians 2:19-22

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

1 Peter 2:4-5

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Question:  What does God call every believer to build first so that He is glorified and we find lasting joy?

Answer:  God calls us to put His dwelling—the gathered church, where He is present—first in our plans; when His presence is our priority, He is glorified and our work bears lasting fruit.

Haggai 1:8
“Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.”
