Welcome to Day 2 of our Passion Week series!Today, we reflect on the powerful moment when Jesus cleanses the temple—a bold act that reveals His passion for pure worship and righteous living. What does this story mean for us today? How does Jesus want to cleanse our hearts and lives? Join us as we dig into Scripture, reflect, and pray together.
Sunday, March 23, 2025 | Message by Pastor Josh Bevan Main Scripture: Matthew 21:12-17
“When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves, and he stopped everyone from using the Temple as a marketplace.” (Mark 11:15–16 NLT) On Palm Sunday, the people in Jerusalem mistakenly celebrated Jesus as the conquering Messiah, the King who would lead the Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire. On the following day, they got a glimpse of His true agenda. After cursing the fig tree that produced no fruit, Jesus went to the temple in Jerusalem. His focus was on the spiritual, not the political. Rather than worship or teach, however, He turned His attention to the money changers and merchants in the outer court. According to the passage above from Mark 11, He cleaned house. The question is, why? The merchants, the people who sold animals for sacrifice, served an important purpose. The temple in Jerusalem was the center of worship for all Jewish people. People traveled great distances to attend festivals and offer required sacrifices there. Those sacrifices often involved animals such as birds, sheep, goats, and bulls. Those who didn’t raise animals themselves had to buy them somewhere. And transporting them all the way to Jerusalem was a complication many wished to avoid. So the merchants who sold animals near the Jerusalem temple provided a necessary service. Of course, they made a profit. But they weren’t necessarily gouging their customers. At least, not all of them were. The money changers were equally important. Many people offered money as sacrifices. However, the region of Judea, where Jerusalem was located, was under the rule of the Romans. The people who lived in Judea used Roman currency. That posed a problem because Roman coins were stamped with images of Roman rulers. And Roman people worshiped their rulers as gods. So Jewish people considered their images a form of idolatry—and inappropriate for sacrifices to God. What’s more, the Lord said to Moses in Exodus 30:13, “Each person who is counted must give a small piece of silver as a sacred offering to the Lord. (This payment is half a shekel, based on the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs)” (NLT). The money changers at the temple exchanged Roman currency for Jewish half-shekel coins. The problem was that the merchants and money changers were infringing on worship at the temple. Their booths were originally positioned outside the temple complex. Over time, however, they moved into the outer courtyard of the temple, the area where Gentiles worshiped. The merchants and money changers were misappropriating worship space for business. That’s why Jesus drove them out. In Psalm 69:9, David wrote, “Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me” (NLT). Jesus showed His followers what passion for God’s house looks like. Jesus prioritized worship. And He wants us to prioritize it as well. It stands to reason that He would react strongly to anyone or anything that makes it harder to worship God. We can embrace that same attitude by removing the obstacles that hinder our own personal worship. Reflection question: How do you keep things from interfering with your worship of God?

Passion WeekMonday: Cursing the Fig Tree, Cleansing the TempleJesus started the day cursing the fig tree which represents Israel and preceded to the Temple Mount. He stepped into the Court of the Gentiles and created a whip and drove out the money changers interrupting the Passover weekly procedures. The scribes and chief priests were so angry, they met to discuss how to destroy him. In this episode, we consider their language and the divine justice that will occur in this place of the Court of the Gentiles, per Josephus in the Siege of Jerusalem in 70AD.

Explore Pastor Dan Rude's profound insights on God's desires for His followers through Jesus's temple cleansing, revealing the essence of pure heart worship. Discover how this transformative act unveils God's true intentions beyond mere actions.
What we do matters but does God just want us for what we can do? Jesus's cleansing of the temple reveals God's heart and what He truly desires from His followers, pure heart worship. Pastor Dan Rude explains what that is and how Jesus reveals Himself through emptying the temple that had become a marketplace.
We don't like to talk about this story much... Jesus gets angry! What causes his response, and what does it mean for us today?
Ricky Massengale, lead teaching elder of CrossLife Fort Smith, preaches through Matthew 21:12-17, showing how Jesus, and therefore all of the Trinitarian God, cared about what was happening in the Temple. What God desired of His Temple had been corrupted and was no longer fulfilling its purpose. By extension, we today also need to acknowledge that God cares about His Church and need to ensure we are doing those things for His honor and His glory.
We are a Spirit-filled Church and we are committed to a lifestyle of sacrificial love that brings genuine heart transformation to the generations in our midst. We are passionate about reaching the Lowcountry with the gospel of Jesus.
Jesus is love...and makes a whip of cords and drives people out of the temple. How do these two statements coincide? Why is Jesus doing what he's doing? Jesus cares more about the heart of worship, than the acts of worship Come along with us as we dive into the subject.

This passage sheds light on the significance of keeping God's house pure and the spiritual lessons we can glean from Jesus' actions.IntroductionIn our homes, we often prioritize cleaning to maintain a sense of order and cleanliness. Similarly, in the scripture, we learn about God's house and the importance of occasional "house cleaning" sessions. Join me today as we explore the profound spiritual lessons embedded in God's house cleaning.Scripture Reading and AnalysisJesus' cleansing of the temple is a well-known passage found in all four gospels, emphasizing its significance. Jesus enters the temple, overturns tables, and drives out those who were exploiting worshippers. This action highlights Jesus' divine authority and the sanctity of God's house.Key InsightsThe Sanctity of God's House: The temple was intended as a place of prayer and reverence. However, it had been corrupted into a marketplace, exploiting worshippers for profit. Jesus' actions underscore the importance of maintaining the sanctity of sacred spaces dedicated to worship.The Importance of Prayer: Jesus emphasized that God's house should be a house of prayer. This challenges us to reflect on the centrality of prayer in our churches today. Are our churches known for their commitment to prayer, or do we prioritize other aspects over prayer?The Great Commission and Prayer: Fostering a culture of prayer aligns with the Great Commission. Just as the apostles prioritized prayer in establishing churches, we should emphasize prayer as an integral part of fulfilling the Great Commission.Application and ReflectionAs we consider the cleansing of God's house, let us reflect on our churches' priorities. Are we fostering a culture of prayer and reverence? Let us heed the call to prioritize prayer and seek God's guidance in all aspects of our ministry.ConclusionIn conclusion, the cleansing of God's house serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of prayer and reverence in our churches and in our lives. Let us commit to maintaining the sanctity of sacred spaces and prioritizing prayer in all aspects of our ministry.Thank you for joining me on today's episode of "The Bible Project Daily Podcast".
