Jesus Cleanses the Temple

What does it look like when our places of worship lose their true focus?In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to reflect deeply on the story of Jesus cleansing the temple, drawing from Matthew 21. Together, we’ll explore why Jesus’s actions that day were more than just righteous anger, they were a call back to true worship and devotion. We’ll talk about the priorities in our lives, and how easy it can be to let worldly distractions take the place of God at the center.Let’s take this opportunity during Holy Week to clear space in our hearts and minds, realigning ourselves with the deep purpose of worship. Join our community as we pray and devote ourselves together to seeking God above all else.Tap HERE to send us a text!
