After Jesus rode into town on a donkey's colt:
Matthew 21:12-14 NIV
Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers.' " The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.
Jesus showed them (and us) that we are not supposed to profit off of people's confession. Instead, we should be healing people.
Saturday evening, we had an off-cycle Paseo gathering. It was low turnout, but Peter shared a powerful framework for intimacy in relationships, and the elders went around praying for many of the people who were there. I felt like we were living out Jesus's model.
Father, please bless our church to continue growing in doing your will. I know that you love to heal. I love you.
