What happened when Jesus cleansed the Temple in Jerusalem—and why does it still matter today?

In this episode of Discover Your Roots, we explore the Temple Mount, the center of Jewish worship during Jesus’ life. From overturned tables to Jesus’ declaration that God’s house should be a house of prayer for all nations, this powerful moment reveals God’s heart for true worship.

Host Avery Chenault is joined by Michael McAfee to uncover the history, geography, and spiritual significance of the Temple. From Mount Moriah and the Courts of the Gentiles to the Southern Steps and Pentecost, this episode shows how the Temple shaped Jesus’ ministry and points directly to His sacrifice.
