    Jesus challenges us to realize that he is the center of our worship, not our facilities, programs, and activities. Just as he cleansed the temple, so he wants to cleanse us.

    Was Jesus cleansing the temple a random act or was there something far deeper?

It would be like our thanksgiving. It was a festive time and also a time of reflection. Like our communion tables ...read more

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more
