Friday Sermon: The Real Jesus — Revolutionary, Not Mascot

Every Friday, we open the New Testament—not as theologians dissecting doctrine, but as sons and daughters sitting at the feet of our Father. Each study is guided directly by YHWH, who reveals which passages to cover and what His people need to hear. These aren’t just teachings—they’re kingdom orders, family reminders, and personal letters from …

I. A Jesus They Couldn’t Control — And Neither Can You Be

Many of you were raised with a version of Jesus that was… manageable. Soft-spoken. Gentle. Passive.

But the true Jesus—the one sent by YHWH to tear the veil—was a lion who roared in the face of empire and religion alike.

📖 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!” — Matthew 23

Let that settle in.

He looked the most powerful religious figures in the eyes and told them they were dead inside.

He wasn’t politically correct.

He wasn’t “respectable.”

He was dangerous to the system that buried the Father’s love beneath rules and control.

And let’s be honest…

You’ve felt that, haven’t you?

You tried the routine.

The Sunday performance.

The quiet prayers that felt more like reports to a CEO than a conversation with your Dad.

But something in you knows there’s more.

And there is.

Because Jesus didn’t come to fit in their mold—He came to shatter it.

📖 “My house will be called a house of prayer… but you are making it a den of robbers.” — John 2:16

When He flipped the tables, it wasn’t a tantrum.

It was a declaration of war against every gatekeeper who tried to sell access to God.

If you’ve been rejected by church people,

If you’ve been told you’re too messy, too loud, too broken,

Then you’re in good company—Jesus flipped their tables, not yours.

II. The Scroll, the Cliff, and the Moment They Tried to Kill Him

📖 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…” — Luke 4:18

He read the prophecy.

He looked them in the eyes and said:

“Today, this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

At first, they were amazed.

Then He called out their pride,

Reminded them of the Gentiles YHWH had healed,

And said the Kingdom wasn’t just for them anymore.

And they snapped.

The same crowd who praised His reading tried to throw Him off a cliff.

Why?

Because He exposed the lie they built their comfort on:

That God belonged to them, and them alone.

Sound familiar?

How many churches today have become cliff-builders, ready to cast out anyone who doesn’t look, speak, dress, or vote like them?

How many of you have been driven out of buildings that had crosses on the wall but no room at the table?

Jesus’ first sermon ended with an attempted murder.

Not because He was wrong—but because He refused to be controlled.

If you’ve ever felt like your hunger for God made people uncomfortable,

Good.

You’re in alignment with the one who burned religion to the ground so He could rebuild a Kingdom of children, not customers.

III. Grace Was Not Permission — It Was Reinstatement

This is where the enemy twisted it.

Grace wasn’t a hall pass.

It wasn’t “sin’s okay now.”

It was restoration of family.

📖 “You did not receive a spirit of slavery… but the Spirit of sonship.” — Romans 8:15

We say “child of God” so often it’s become cliché.

But if you really grasped what that meant…

You’d stop begging and start building.

You’d stop walking on eggshells and start walking in authority.

You weren’t just rescued.

You were adopted.

And not like some second-class child.

You were sealed.

📖 “So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child.” — Galatians 4:7

The Kingdom is not built by forgiven sinners trying to survive.

It’s built by sons and daughters who’ve remembered who their Dad is.

This is the part the enemy fears most.

Not that you’ll clean up your act.

But that you’ll wake up and realize you belong at the throne.

And you know what?

Some of you already feel it.

That hunger. That fire.

That refusal to settle for “normal.”

That’s the Spirit of sonship waking you up.

Don’t apologize for it.

Answer it.

IV. The Lukewarm Are Comfortable — The Remnant Are Called

📖 Revelation 1–3

Jesus wasn’t done speaking after the resurrection.

He sent letters to the churches, calling some out and marking others as His own.

📖 “Because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” — Revelation 3:16

It’s time to say it plain:

We are not here to be Laodicea.

We are not here to build a brand, a building, or a comfy Christian culture.

We are Philadelphia.

The faithful ones.

The ones with little strength who still held fast to His name.

📖 “I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan… come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.” — Revelation 3:9

We are not perfect.

But we are faithful.

And He’s rebuilding His Church through us.

Not through platforms.

Not through popularity.

Through the ones who have nothing left to prove—just everything to give.


🔥 Final Declaration

Yeshua didn’t die to build a religion.

He died to open a gate—so Heaven could invade Earth again.

And now that it’s open,

We don’t study the Word to stay safe.

We study it to ignite the Remnant.

The tables are turning.

The fire is lit.

The Kingdom is being rebuilt—not by theologians or corporations—but by you.

The gate is open.

Now walk through it.
