2. How the ordinary becomes sacred
As I focus on God’s grace
As I pursue worship
As I hear God’s word
As I pursue excellence

4. God’s grace for past sin
The Builder of the Temple – 2 Samuel 12:24-25 – She (Bathsheba) gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. The Lord loved him; 25 and because the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.
The Location of the Temple – 2 Chronicles 3:1 – Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.
1 Chronicles 21:28 – At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there... 22:1 Then David said, “The house of the Lord God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

6. God’s grace from our pain
Genesis 50:20 –  As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.

8. Honoring God on the job
Colossians 3:23-24 – Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

10. Future fellowship with God
Revelation 21:3 – Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

12. Do it well now
Ecclesiastes 9:10 – Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in the grave, to which you are going.
