Took verses from 1corinthians3:16 to 4:5
1 Corinthians 3:16-23 (New International Version)
16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? 17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
18Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"[a]; 20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."[b] 21So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
1 Corinthians 4:1-5 (New International Version)
1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the secret things of God. 2Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

What destroys the temple of God?
The unholy things destroys the temple of God. Unclean thoughts/ways.
*Pastor shares with us some of the things the world regard as wise.
Those that the world regards as wise that does not refer to the scriptures.
Like 'we can do anything as long as we set our minds on doing. There's the divine in us. We can do all things if we believe.' Yes, we can do all things as long as we believe IN GOD.
We also have to take care of the things God entrusted us with. Like for Pastor, it's us. For us, it's people around us. For all, the Gospel of Christ. Many others things God entrusted you with. Think about it.
*Pastor shares about luke12:35-48
Then there was discussions about judgement. Talking about not condemning or judging ourselves but to leave all the judgement to God. God made us and he is the only one who can judge us, change us, know us. Talked about if people came up to you and says certain stuffs about you which you're unsure of. Leave it to God, don't judge the person nor yourself. If you're unsure, humbly accept the suggestion and leave it to God. Don't reject the person or judge the person. Also not to accept and judge ourselves.
**Vague remembrance of the gathering. Not directly word by word from it.
