Aim: To make intelligent decisions to walk in the way of life.
Doctrine: Building Christ's church (temple) first is the way of life. The ''good life'' is not good without Jesus, who will not be known aside from His body (church).
Exegesis: Practical steps on the way of life: let us glorify God through His prescribed worship (and not our own) (vv. 7-8), learn from our past mistakes (v. 9), and accept that God's way is unchangeable (vv. 10-11).
Further application: Truths to live by: Christ is the only hope for the world, and He will never compromise the primacy of His gospel, His church, and His worship.
Key verses: vv. 7-8 ''Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,' says the LORD.''
