Series: See, Believe and Live 

Message: Zeal for My Father’s House 

Scriptures: John 2:13-25 

 

It was nearly time for the Jewish Passover celebration, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money. Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house will consume me.” 

But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.” “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?” But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said. Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him. But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people. No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.

Iranian Christians We have heard this from Dariush Golbaghi of Safehouse Ministries. “After the horrific circumstances of the past three weeks in Iran, living conditions have become much worse. Because of martial law, strikes, the killings, and the ongoing uprising, many families are struggling severely. We are currently helping the families of believers inside the country. Even though the internet is extremely limited and unstable, we managed to get in touch with a few of our people. We are working—through very difficult channels to transfer helpful funds to them, so they can purchase essential supplies, food and deliver them to the families of believers.” A family can be supported with a week’s worth of groceries for $125. Any compassion gifts for the Iran Church may be placed in the clear donation box in the foyer today or clearly designated. Pray during these dark days of oppression and for the hand of the LORD to get the funds and supplies to His people. Gal. 6:10

Parents of Prodigals Do you have a prodigal? We define a prodigal as a son or daughter (over age 18) who are not walking with the Lord. Keith and Elizabeth Mace host a fellowship dinner every few months where parents get together for fellowship, a meal and a lesson about how we pray for and deal with having a prodigal. We have found the group to be a source of hope and encouragement. Our next dinner is next Monday, February 23, at 6:30. (Parable found in Luke 15)
