Called To Be Rebels Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jan 16, 2006

Knowing The Truth - Part Three

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 28, 2006

Jesus did not determine who He was by what men had to say about Him. Jesus knew the people He was ministering to. He knew that one day they all would turn away and reject Him.

- Part Three - Jesus as Love Text: John 2:23 – 25 This passage is a good example to me why it is important to meditate on the Word of the Lord. You can mistake the meaning of the word if you only glance at it. You could read this and wonder if Jesus didn’t trust men. Is this saying that Jesus ...read more

Cleansing The Temple Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 18, 2017

Jesus objects to the way the Jews are treating the temple - as a marketplace not the House of God

Two weeks ago, we looked at John’s account of Jesus at a wedding in Cana. And now this week, he’s travelling on to Jerusalem for the Passover. But before we look any further, please pray with me. I have a riddle for you. Why is a metcard like an Old Testament temple? What do the two ...read more

Godly Anger

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 26, 2018

He poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.

Lent3B. Today we have by far the most famous story of Jesus’ anger, yet none of the gospel writers mention the word anger in it, they said that he was “consumed with zeal.” I read a story of a little kid filled with a kind of zeal. His dad said: One morning, my wife asked our four-year son, ...read more

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2018

Alegóricamente, el santuario es el alma indisciplinada, llena no con animales y mercaderes sino con apegos a lo terrenal e insensato

Jesus And The Temple

The temple John 2:13-25 The reading we have just heard from John's gospel might seem rather strange especially as it is at the start of his gospel; but ironically the synoptic gospels have this incident in the temple at the start of His last week just after His triumphant entry into Jerusalem - ...read more

Jesus And The Religious Leaders In The Temple

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015

The fig tree looked good on the outside but it wasn’t producing any fruit. The religious leaders looked good on the outside, but they didn’t provide for the people. Jesus decreed that he would let them fade and raise up something new in their place.

The events in John 2:18-25 occur just after Jesus has chased the moneychangers and the sellers out of the temple. The religious leaders wanted to know who gave Jesus the authority to do what he did in the temple. Jesus did not give them an answer because he knew that the religious leaders did not ...read more
