In the Temple area he saw merchants selling cattle, sheep, and doves for sacrifices; he also saw dealers at tables exchanging foreign money. Jesus made a whip from some ropes and chased them all out of the Temple. He drove out the sheep and cattle, scattered the money changers’ coins over the floor, and turned over their tables. Then, going over to the people who sold doves, he told them, “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!” Then his disciples remembered this prophecy from the Scriptures: “Passion for God’s house will consume me.” But the Jewish leaders demanded, “What are you doing? If God gave you authority to do this, show us a miraculous sign to prove it.” “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” “What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?” But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.

Being a “man of God” can be tough. Being a “young man of God” can be even tougher. This devotional will focus on the three areas in which young men are most frequently tempted: their Ways (i.e., temper), their Words (i.e., language), and their Wants (i.e., physical and emotional desires). It will also discuss the appropriate Biblical response(s) to maintaining self-control and moral purity in the face of such temptations.

Journey with Pastor Micah E. Davis as he uncovers some of the heralded (and unheralded) heroes of the Christmas story. The birth of Jesus was more than a neat, cozy, Nativity scene. Instead, Micah pulls back the curtain on the immense amount of faith shown by some particular individuals and the immense amount of power demonstrated by God and His angels. Invitation is at the heart of the Christmas story.
Has something happened that you didn't see coming? Are you in an emotional place you never planned to be? Grief shows up in our lives uninvited. Unhealed grief has sent me to the emergency room and onto my knees in prayer. What I discovered in the Psalms helped me heal, and I want to help you too!
