Lent Week 1 – Overturning Tables & the Status Quo (3/16/2025)

Jesus enters the temple right after he arrives as king. And what does he do? He cleanses temple and restores what should be happening: the blind / lame healed and children singing the praises of the Son of David (justice &  praise). Yet the religious authorities were “indignant” at this. This passage forces us to ask – do we want what Jesus wants? Or are we more comfortable with the things are? And when God breaks into our midst and throws tables– will we see it as blessing or public disturbance? Audio from Tyson's sermon on 3/16/2025
