This Week’s Scripture: Prepare your heart for what God wants to say to you through this week’s sermon by reading and reflecting on 1 Corinthians 6:12-7:9. Here is an excerpt from this passage:
19 Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.
