Sermons on The Foundation Of The Temple:

The Temple Incident

Contributed by David Petticrew on Mar 16, 2003

Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

The story we read today is an interesting one. It’s one that doesn’t really fit with the picture of Jesus that we usually think about. How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more
