Sermon Title: The Uncomfortable Messiah
Nick Ballenger Pastor

Main Text: John 2:12–17 (all ESV)
Supporting Text:
Isaiah 56:7
Malachi 3:1–3
Psalm 69:7–9

Observation #1: The Messiah confronts what hinders worship

Observation #2: The Messiah confronts what we have learned to tolerate

Observation #3: The Messiah is consumed with the glory of God

Points to Ponder:
Jesus is not indifferent toward anything that keeps His people from properly worshipping His Father.

Jesus loves His people enough to disturb what keeps them from the worship for which they were created.

Jesus—who refuses to tolerate corrupted worship—will eventually be rejected by the very people whose worship He came to restore.

Jesus isn’t asking other people to pay the price for pure worship. He will pay the ultimate price Himself.

Psalm 16

[1] Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
[2] I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”

[3] As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.

[4] The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.

[5] The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
[6] The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

[7] I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
[8] I have set the LORD always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

[9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
[10] For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.

[11] You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

You won’t find a better deal than following Jesus. Don’t trade temp...
