Левилер 26:11

Throughout the Bible, the temple is a location where God’s desire to meet and be with His people is realised.

We trust that as you explore the temple, both old and new, you will see how the desire of God to be in relationship with you is as strong today as it was in the garden of Eden.

When we try to find the central theme of the Bible, we might not immediately think of ‘trees’. But when we take a closer look, trees are mentioned quite often!

No one wants to be a slave. We don’t like to be restrained or told what to do or how we should live. We love our freedom and resent any constraints. Being happy, enjoying life, that’s what it’s all about. Realistically, that goal can only be achieved if you live according to God’s commandments. They will free you because our wise God is your Creator.
