In a world that values self-sufficiency and strength, brokenness is often seen as a sign of defeat. But in God’s kingdom, our places of brokenness are where His strength truly begins. Before God uses a person mightily, He often breaks them greatly—shattering pride, old mindsets, and self-reliance to make room for His divine purpose.
Join us for "Brokenness That God Can Use," a study exploring how God transforms human weakness into spiritual power. Through biblical examples like Jacob wrestling at Peniel, Joseph in Egypt, Moses in the wilderness, and Peter after the denial, we will discover why broken people stop fighting God and start walking in true blessing. Come learn why God must break us of ourselves so He can shape us, strengthen us, and use us for His glory.
We cannot be used by God until we are broken of ourselves. By yielding our control, heartbreaks, and limitations to Him, we allow the Master Potter to reshape our defeat into a lasting blessing.

The Cleansing of the Temple, Part 1 - General Teaching
In this lesson on John 2:12–22, we examine Jesus’ dramatic clearing of the temple and what it reveals about personal holiness, spiritual purity, and reverence for God's house.
Overview & Key Themes
Garbage In, Garbage Out: What we allow into our hearts and minds ultimately shapes our actions and spiritual condition. The condition of the temple reflected the spiritual state of the people.
Scripture Revealed in the Ordinary: Though the disciples were regarded as "unlearned men," they were steeped in the Scriptures. Seeing Jesus act, they were immediately reminded of Psalm 69:9: "For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."
Purging the Obvious and Public Offenses: Jesus began by driving out the public, high-visibility corruption. The practices of the money changers were a direct offense against God, demonstrating that true worship requires us to first cleanse ourselves of obvious, outward sin.
Purging the Profane: Jesus poured out the coins, showing complete contempt for the commercialization of holy things. Under God's law (Exodus 30:13), temple money was intended to maintain worship and serve as a ransom offering—not to generate corrupt profit.

The First Miracle - General Teaching
In John Chapter 2, Jesus performs His foundational miracle at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee—turning water into wine. Far beyond simply meeting a social need at a celebration, this miracle served as a deliberate, powerful sign designed to inaugurate His earthly ministry and establish His divine authority. Through this sign, Christ demonstrated His complete control over time and salvation, while explicitly confronting and transcending the spiritual state of Israel.
