It’s not about how you look

Series: Angry

Date preached: 2nd June 2024

TIDE Church is a diverse community of people on a mission to follow the teaching and life of Jesus. We are a Christian church based in Adelaide, Australia who are sharing the good news of Jesus with people everywhere. 

Today’s message …

We often think of Jesus as a kind, gentle man. And he was. But Jesus got angry. In this series we’re looking at what made Jesus angry, and what this means for us today. In this episode, we explore Jesus’ anger when he saw people focussed on “outward appearances” instead of what’s important inside a person. It made him mad! Jesus’ words are an important challenge to a 21st century world that seems obsessed with what we wear, where we live, what we drive and what we buy.  

Questions to reflect on and discuss from this message:

1. On a scale from 1-10, how much do you struggle with your outward appearance?

2. In your own words, why do you think Jesus was angry about the way people were focussed on outward things rather than the inside things?

3. How does this message challenge you? Either in your personal life … or … if you don’t struggle how does this challenge you to encourage others?

If you’ve got questions or want to connect, we’d love to hear from you.
