    As Christians we are to be the temple of God - with the Holy Spirit residing in us. What do we place on our tables? Would Jesus be tempted to take out the whip?

    Cleaning Day John 2:12-22 Imagine if you will the most perfect church setting. Perhaps it is Christmas eve – and the sanctuary is decorated beautifully. Very warm and welcoming. This is a special time. Sure, you can come to church any Sunday, but this time is set aside for wondrous events and ...read more

    What's Eating Jesus?

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Mar 20, 2006

     | 5,524 views

    What consumed Jesus in the temple courts is what should consume all believers - love for God’s house and love for lost souls.

    (The following will be said in a gruff voice to various people in the congregation.) “Move over. Put your bulletin down. Stop looking at me like that. Fold your hands and look at me.” If I was serious about the things I just said, you might wonder: “What’s eating Pastor?” The Disciples wondered ...read more

    The cleansing effect of having a dumpster in your driveway is a amazing. You can get rid of a lot of clutter in your house. In a simlar way, "junk" can gather in each of us who are called to be the temple of the Lord. Jesus cleanses us.

    Every so often, as you drive around the various neighborhoods in these parts, you will notice the presence of dumpsters. Sometimes they are there to collect the waste from construction; sometimes reconstruction; but other times, the dumpster seems to be just for junk. I find this ...read more

    The important thing is not to have just one image of Jesus. This would hardly do him justice. It would be the same as our parents showing their friend only one photograph of us.
