A House of Prayer
We notice the indictment before we notice the vision. "Den of robbers" is the line everybody remembers — but it's not the line Jesus says first. Before the critique, there's a sentence almost nobody quotes: "my house will be a house of prayer." This week Terry asks what it actually means for a people, not a building, to be a house of prayer — not a place with prayer somewhere in the schedule, but a people who can't be explained without it. Luke never lets Jesus go long without praying. What would it cost us to actually be that, together, rather than just having it on the calendar?
Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
