Jesus Cleanses The Temple

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 3, 2018

Why does Jesus cleanse the Temple rather than deal with the Roman occuppying force. In short, because the Priests were not living up to the standards God expected from them. The Temple's uses were being abused. God requires higher standards.

He was anything else but meek and mild This morning we see Jesus clearing the money changers out of the Temple. We read in ...read more

Because God's Contracts Don't Expire Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Nov 23, 2009

Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.
