    The First Palm Sunday And The Purge

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Mar 20, 2016
     | 6,735 views

    After praises from the Jerusalemites, Jesus curses the fig tree, which is symbolic of Israel, and then He cleans out the money changers in the Temple. Palm Sunday has a lot to do with purging out dead, fruitless people, and hypocrisy!

    The First Palm Sunday and The Purge Kelly Durant Mark 11:1-25 2. How many of you like crime stories? It usually begins with a piece of the evidence in front of you, but all the pieces you have to put together so you understand all of what happened. What led up to the incident?

    Praying Through A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 2, 2021
     | 6,944 views

    The church ought to pray with great expectation because (1) God sees our trials, (2) God hears our prayers (3) and God will take care of our enemies.

    Acts 12:5 “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” The graphic scene of Acts 12 is not strange to the Church. The church has always faced opposition. Since its inception, the devil has been trying to stop the church and even to ...read more

    Lent 2021 - Jesus Cleansing The Temple Series

     | 5,105 views

    On the final week before the crucifixion Jesus came to the temple and cleared those who were turning the place into a wicked market and bank. Does He have permission to enter into the temple of our spirits and do the same thing?

    Cleansing The Temple Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” And our ...read more

     | 6,115 views

    The account of Jesus and the unfruitful fig tree is one that surprisingly connects with the spiritual condition of the Jews in Jesus' time and with our spiritual conditions as well. May we bear much fruit for the Lord and bring glory to His Name!

    Why Are You Cooking Chili?

    How many events and programs does the church hold that do NOT make disciples for Christ? Resources should be directed to the mission - making disciples for Christ.

    Why are you cooking chili? Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 11:15-19 The Temple leaders allowed vendors to set up inside the Temple. A good question for that time would have been why did the Temple authorities allow the money changers and vendors into the outer court. The merchants could have ...read more

    When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He went to the Temple and looked around. When Jesus visited the Temple the next day, He saw some things that He didn’t like and gives us insight on the church today. They knew Jesus was in town and yet it changed nothing!

    Luke 19:45-48 IN TIMES LIKE THESE April 3, 2022 Intro: Just the day before, Jesus had presented Himself to the people in Jerusalem, as their King and as their Messiah, in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. “Thy King is coming… riding on a donkey.” The people praised Jesus ...read more

    The Withered Fig Tree.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,749 views

    Today’s passage brings together two events which are not unrelated to each other: the cleansing of the Temple, and the withering of the fig tree. Both are figurative of the state and changing status of the old Jewish faith at the dawn of the gospel era.

    THE WITHERED FIG TREE. Mark 11:12-33. I. The Barren Fig Tree. Mark 11:12-14; Mark 11:20-26. As we see Jesus approaching the fig tree (Mark 11:12-13), we need to recollect that Jesus is God. The fig tree is a well-known symbol of Israel: ‘every man under his vine and his fig tree’ (cf. ...read more

    We find Jesus and His disciples in the middle today. There was a lot going on the Monday after Triumphal entry. It all happened in the middle, today I want to speak on the Miracle In The Middle.

    INTRODUCTION: A lot of things happen in the middle. For Example : Here is a simple fact: In order to come out of something, you first must go in. In order to get out of bed, you first must get in bed; To get out of the car, you have to get into the car; To get out of the room, ...read more

    Monday - Cursing Fig Trees And Cleansing Temples Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 7, 2022
     | 3,899 views

    On Monday of Jesus' final week of earthly life, he cursed the fig tree and cleansed the temple. Both activities symbolized God's judgment on the fruitless religion of Israel. As disciple of Christ, we must be faithful and fruitful, and not cause others to stumble.

    A. Years ago, I decided to “edjumacate” myself by reading all the classic novels. 1. I decided to start with Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick. 2. I didn’t get very far, because I just couldn’t take long chapter after long chapter describing the whaling harpoon – you can only say so much ...read more

     | 4,543 views

    The Lord Jesus arrived in Jerusalem hailed by the Jews as the Davidic king who would restore Israel. He arrived not for that purpose, but to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who restored all of HIs people back to God. The first step was to restore His house.

    The final week of Jesus' public ministry had started with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being hailed as the rightful heir of David and the One who would finally drive out the hated Roman Gentile oppressors and restore the nation of Israel back to its former glory, or so the people ...read more

    In Mark 11:12-22 Jesus curses a fig tree and kicks out a bunch of religious people from the temple. Both acts seem pretty straightforward but are in fact extremely momentous events that have far-reaching consequences.
