A Fierce Courage for What Matters

Listen to this message

Jesus is often described as kind, gentle, and compassionate, but Scripture shows us another side just as true: Jesus was fierce. In this message from our summer miniseries How to Be Courageous, we walk through John chapter 2, where Jesus clears the temple courts, and discover what fierce love really looks like. This isn't anger or impulsiveness. It's love that refuses to stay passive about what matters most.

Learn how fierce courage sees the barriers keeping people from God, refuses to call brokenness "normal," and always makes a way back to the Father. We'll explore why real courage is developed privately before it's ever displayed publicly, how to fight for your marriage, your kids, and your faith, and what it means that your own body is now a temple of the Holy Spirit. If there's a table that needs flipping in your heart, this message is an invitation to let Jesus clear it out.
