Beginning with the exodus of Israel from Egypt, God's presence dwelt with the nation of Israel. But God does not dwell in the presence of sin. In this sermon Gary Smith goes through the Bible record of how Israel's repeated sinning caused God to finally remove his dwelling place from Israel at the destruction of the temple. He then covers what each of us must do to insure that God's spirit continues to dwell in us.
