    Paul tells us how God views His church as being His temple and how this should serve to unify us.

    "To dwell above with saints we love, O that will sure be glory. But to dwell below with saints we know, We; that’s a different story!” Sad to say, the fellowship of too many churches can be described by that little jingle. But while that may be so, it is not what God desires, nor is it what needs ...read more

    Christ’s cursing of the fig tree and "cleansing" of the temple caution us about living our lives by mere appearances and trusting in anything other than Jesus.

    Appearances can be deceiving. I was reminded of this several years ago when I was waiting in line at a McDonalds with two of my sons. A guy came into McDonalds who looked really suspicious. He had long hair, tattoos everywhere, several body piercings, and he just looked scary. This guy seemed to be ...read more

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He entered the Temple, considering what He saw. Being displeased with much that was going on, He returned on Monday to set His Father's house in order.

    Cleansing the Temple Mark 11: 15-19 In our last study we discussed Jesus cursing the fig tree as He made His way to Jerusalem. While this was a physical act, it had spiritual implications. Jesus cursed the fig tree as He and the disciples were headed to the Temple on what most agree was Monday ...read more

    This is the account of Jesus clearing the temple. The questions we will ask today are, "What would Jesus do if He came into our church and looked at everything?" and "What would Jesus do if He came into our lives and looked at everything"? He IS here!

    There are some in the Christian community that suggest that politics and religion should never work together. Some in the public square that suggest that religious leaders ought to stay out of politics and concern themselves with only the spiritual. But God has the final say on this matter!

    In the passage today we take a second look at the people of Israel during the ministry of Haggai the prophet. As we learned last week, 70 years earlier, in the year 586 BC, the Babylonians invaded the Southern Kingdom, destroyed Solomon's beautiful temple in Jerusalem and had taken the people ...read more

    Sometimes what is missing is full dedication to our God. We are called to be committed disciples of Christ, and the dedication of the temple reminds of this fact.
