The religious leaders questioned Jesus’ authority in the temple, refusing to recognize the authority of the One true Messiah. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shares that while being in power has benefits, it can also lead to corruption if we do not acknowledge the Source of all authority.
When Jesus cleansed the temple, He challenged the authority of the religious leaders, prompting them to question the source of His authority. This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co reminds us that God allows disruption in our lives when we stray from His will. Will we respond by resisting this disruption or will we choose to repent and place our trust in our Cornerstone?
Itinanggi ng mga lider ng relihiyon ang awtoridad ni Hesus dahil sa kanilang kasakiman at pagmamataas—maging ang Kanyang mga babala tungkol sa mga magiging bunga ng kanilang mga ginawa ay hindi nila sineryoso. Ngayong Linggo, ipinaalala sa atin ni Rev. Mike Cariño na maaari rin tayong mapunta sa ganitong kalagayan kapag inuuna natin ang sarili nating kagustuhan kaysa sa Diyos at sa Kanyang kalooban. Pipiliin ba nating gawing si Hesus ang ating pundasyon at sandigan, o Siya ba ang batong ating ikakatisod?
Although it was not in season, Jesus was so disappointed that a fig tree was fruitless that He cursed it and it withered the next day. Was it reasonable for Jesus to do this? This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explores how Jesus connected the fig tree to the purpose of the Temple and how this connection also relates to the role of the church in fulfilling God’s mission.
