About the Sermon

Why did Jesus clear the temple? In this message from our Come and See series, we explore John 2 and the powerful moment when Jesus flips tables in the temple. This wasn’t about anger or banning commerce—it was about tearing down walls that kept people from God. Jesus confronts injustice, exclusion, and spiritual barriers, and declares that He is the way to God. Making Space challenges us to ask what walls still exist today—and how the church can make Jesus easier to find, not easier to follow. Key themes: Jesus clears the temple • John 2 • Making room for the one • Church and mission • A house of prayer for all nations

Serving as Jars of Clay

“We are jars of clay who are fillable with the very presence of God.” Pastor Josue unpacks the biblical metaphor of believers as “jars of clay,” explaining how followers of Jesus are:
Fragile
Finite
Fallible
Fillable
Functional

Faithfulness

In Week 2 of our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Makayla Lance walks through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis and reminds us of a truth we desperately need to hear:
God is faithful—even when we struggle to believe He will come through.
For 25 years, Abraham and Sarah waited on a promise from God that seemed impossible. And somewhere in the waiting came doubt, frustration, hopelessness, and the temptation to take control themselves.
Maybe you know that feeling too.
