A Holy House Call- Jesus Cleanses the Temple (Mark 11:11-20)
David Hall, July 29, 2012Part of the Attitude Is Everything series, preached at a Contemporary Service service
In today's message, David explains the passage in which Jesus cleanses the temple and drives out the money changers. He corrects us because He loves us. We are sinners by nature and choice, We will disappoint and disobey God, but He disciplines and cleanses us to make us more like him.

Mark 11:11-20
11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. (ESV)
