Jesus is Looking for Worship, Not Religion // John 2:13-25
In this powerful sermon from John 2:13-22, we dive into the story of Jesus cleansing the temple and the message He brings about true worship. When Jesus arrived at the temple during Passover, He found a marketplace instead of a place of reverence. The religious activities had become a transaction, not an offering of the heart. Jesus' anger and subsequent actions challenge us to examine our own worship—Is it genuine, sacrificial, and passionate, or is it just a routine?
Worship is not about convenience or rituals; it’s about a heart that is fully devoted to God. When our worship becomes self-centered or routine, it no longer honors God. True worship requires sacrifice, and Jesus calls us to remove the things that prevent us from giving our best to Him. In this sermon, we explore the difference between "empty worship" and worship that honors God, and how we can clear the "marketplaces" in our own lives that distract us from wholehearted devotion.
Join us as we reflect on how we can offer worship that truly pleases God and draw near to Him in spirit and truth.
