In this message, we look at Jesus' "cleansing" of the temple through a different lens. Rather than just an act of anger, we see Jesus clearing out the "business as usual" to make room for those on the margins. We often think the way of Christ is "upside down," but when we see that life comes through death--just like pruning a tree for new growth--we realize it's actually the only way to live right-side up. What needs to be cleared out of your life to make room for what God wants to do?
Jesus arrived in the most unexpected way—with humility, compassion, and a kingdom that refused to fit our categories. In the Gospel of Luke, discover the tension following Jesus as He reveals his upside-down kingdom, confronts our comforts and assumptions, unsettles our priorities, and calls us to the margins and the overlooked.
