Jesus flipped tables, drove out merchants, and confronted a corrupt religious system. But John 2 is not permission to justify every angry reaction—it is an invitation to examine what truly provokes us, what may be hiding in our own hearts, and whether our worship reflects God’s priorities.

In this Bible study, Josh Allen unpacks Jesus’ cleansing of the temple, where travelers and the poor were being exploited through inflated prices, dishonest exchange rates, and substandard sacrifices. You’ll discover why Jesus’ anger was rooted in righteous concern for justice and true worship, not personal irritation or wounded pride.

Josh also explores the clash over spiritual authority. Why did Jesus refuse to perform a miracle on demand for religious leaders? What did he mean when he said, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days”? And how does John’s insight that Jesus “knew what was in each person” change the way you approach faith, leadership, and your own motives?

Perfect for personal reflection, small groups, home churches, and anyone who wants to learn not only what John 2 says, but how to hear Jesus speaking through it today.

What if God is preparing to surprise you through the place or person you’ve already counted out?

Who or where have you looked at and thought to yourself, “Can anything good could come from them or there?" In John 1, Nathanael dismisses Jesus because He comes from Nazareth.

Jesus may be working in a place, person, or situation you never would have expected or chosen yourself. Are you listening closely enough to recognize Him when He does?

So... why are you here? Through every story, verse, passage, and chapter of Scripture, Jesus' voice is whispering to each of us. So, why does He say you are here? Can you hear Him, and more importantly, are you listening?

Continue with us in John 1 starting in vs. 9, as we discover how the book of John is not only a "second beginning" for God's Word, but how it calls us to our own new beginning in Jesus.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Whispers from Jesus, where we embark on a journey of understanding what Jesus is whispering to us through Scripture. This podcast is designed for anyone who has ever struggled to hear His voice in the Bible, aiming to equip you with the tools to discern His messages for your life.

In this first episode, the focus is on the Gospel of John. Josh invites listeners to consider the question, "What is the beginning of the Bible?" He explores the various perspectives on what defines "beginning" and challenges listeners to reflect on their own experiences of second chances and new beginnings in life.

Through engaging questions and intentional moments for reflection, listeners are encouraged to connect with the text personally, making the study of Scripture a dynamic and intimate experience.

"In the book of John, God's Spirit offers each of us a new beginning, a fresh start, so to speak."
