• How might knowing that we are little temples, filled with the presence of God, bring you hope in the midst of despair?

Engage the Text:

• Read aloud in your community groups 1 Kings 6-7 and identify all of the garden imagery found within the Temple and its furnishings. Does this sort of thing encourage you in your Bible reading? Explain why or why not.
