Скачать или смотреть House of Prayer or Den of Thieves? | Jesus Cleanses the Temple 12.28 Sun AM

In this last Sunday message of the year, we open Mark 11:12–26 and hear Jesus’ sobering words: “My house shall be called… a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” This sermon challenges us to examine whether the church—and our own hearts—have become shaped by worship and prayer or by merchandise, self-interest, and spiritual “busy-ness” without communion with God.

You’ll learn what viewers can expect in this message:

Why Jesus cleansed the temple (and why He did it more than once)

What it means that the church is Christ’s house—purchased by His blood (Ephesians 5)

How prayer is meant to be central, not secondary: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11)

The difference between faith in prayer and faith in God (Mark 11:22)

How unforgiveness hinders prayer (Mark 11:25–26) and why God calls His people to forgive

A warning against empty religion—“leaves without fruit”—and a call to authentic spiritual life

This sermon is both a call to revival in prayer and a reminder that God desires His people to delight in Him, not merely bring a religious “shopping list.” You’ll also hear a clear Gospel invitation to repent and believe on Christ, and an earnest prayer for the Lord to cleanse His house and restore true worship.

If you’ve been burdened by prayerlessness, distracted Christianity, or churches that feel more like entertainment than worship, this message will speak directly to those concerns with Scripture-rich clarity.
