We build systems to help—and watch them gradually become barriers. The temple merchants started by solving real problems for pilgrims, but eventually their commerce occupied the only space where outsiders could pray.
When Jesus overturned their tables, he wasn’t destroying worship. He was restoring it. Creating space where all nations could encounter God.
This message from our “Come and See” series examines how well-intentioned practices accumulate into obstacles—in healthcare, education, and even churches. More importantly, it explores the good news: the risen Christ embodies fully accessible sacred space, and invites us into his barrier-clearing work.
Join us to discover what needs clearing in your community—and how resurrection hope fuels the work of making room.
