Getting The House Ready Part 1 Series

Contributed by Terry Jones on Nov 8, 2008

Jesus Cleans His Father's House

Contributed by John Murphy on Mar 25, 2010

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

Build God's House!

Contributed by David Mende on Jul 8, 2009

The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

Repairing God's House Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 12, 2019
