About This Message
Preaching from John 2:12-25, where Jesus drives the money changers from the temple, Pastor Addison warns against an outward Christianity that looks clean while the heart stays corrupted, comparing it to a ship's smokestacks held together by paint alone after the steel had rusted away. He calls the church to examine whether inward devotion matches outward appearance, since only God truly sees what's inside.
Key Takeaways
- Outward religious appearance can mask real inward corruption.
- Jesus was angered his Father's house had become a marketplace.
- God looks at the heart, not outward behavior, as with David.
