The Life of Christ (Mark 11.11-17) | Jesus Clears the Temple 05/31/2026

After Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem, his next step is somewhat anti-climactic. He goes to the Temple, looks around for a bit, then leaves town, back to Bethany where he started. But the following morning, when he returns again to the city, he has a plan, heading straight to the Temple, where he immediately begins to drive out the merchants. So many questions have surrounded this text over the years. Did it really happen? Was Jesus mad? If so, what was he mad about? Should we have coffee shops in church? What does this text mean for us today? Join us as we dive into all the questions, and seek to provide some handles for how this short story challenges us today.
