Temple Turnover | Pastor Jeff Bucknam

Most of us grew up hearing that the God of the Old Testament is harsh and demanding — while Jesus is gentle, meek, and mild. But what do we do with a Jesus who braids a whip, flips tables, and drives merchants out of the Temple? Turns out, the gentle Jesus we've imagined may be a little too tame.

In this message from John 2, Pastor Jeff Bucknam takes us to one of the most dramatic moments in Jesus' ministry — the Temple Turnover — and shows us three things that rile Jesus up: perfunctory worship, unauthorized authority, and bogus belief. It's a passage that raises a pointed question for every one of us: Is my faith the real thing?

This is "Temple Turnover" from our series Believe! — The Gospel of John. Let's get into it.
