Safe House

Most of us would never describe our faith as a cover story. We show up. We serve. We know the text. We have the record. But Jeremiah stood at the gate of the temple, not to confront the irreligious, but the devout, and asked a question that hasn't aged out: are you here to be changed, or here to feel safe? In this message from Luke 19 and Jeremiah 7, the den of robbers turns out to be less about corrupt commerce and more about what religious habit becomes when formation stops and cover begins. God hasn't given up on the house. The question is whether we want what it was built for more than what the system gives us.

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.
