    The Barren Temple Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003
    based on 104 ratings
     | 19,410 views

    Christ’s cursing of the fig tree and "cleansing" of the temple caution us about living our lives by mere appearances and trusting in anything other than Jesus.

    Appearances can be deceiving. I was reminded of this several years ago when I was waiting in line at a McDonalds with two of my sons. A guy came into McDonalds who looked really suspicious. He had long hair, tattoos everywhere, several body piercings, and he just looked scary. This guy seemed to be ...read more

    God's Expectation Series

    Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008
     | 9,871 views

    The focal point of this parable is God’s expectation of His people, Israel or Christians. God is the owner of the vineyard who inspects and expects the fig tree –His people to bear fruit.

    This morning, we will study the parable of the barren fig tree. This parable is one of the shortest parables of our Lord in the Gospels. We don’t have fig trees here in the Philippines, so most of us I believe have not seen a fig tree. Fortunately, the internet is giving us anything we want to ...read more

    Jesus And The Religious Leaders In The Temple

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015
     | 3,827 views

    The fig tree looked good on the outside but it wasn’t producing any fruit. The religious leaders looked good on the outside, but they didn’t provide for the people. Jesus decreed that he would let them fade and raise up something new in their place.

    The events in John 2:18-25 occur just after Jesus has chased the moneychangers and the sellers out of the temple. The religious leaders wanted to know who gave Jesus the authority to do what he did in the temple. Jesus did not give them an answer because he knew that the religious leaders did not ...read more

    God saw Nathaniel sitting under the fig tree, and he sees us. Wherever we are, and whatever we are doing, he sees and knows.

    Good Foundations, Good Trees, Good Fruit

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 13, 2023
     | 852 views

    Good trees like figs and peaches and dates produce good fruit. Good men and women produce good actions from the good treasure in their hearts.

    Saturday of the 23rd Week in Course 2023 One of the more memorable periods in our married life was the year in which we decided to build a new house in a gated community. That was, no doubt, one of the less intelligent actions we’ve taken in the past half-century, but it certainly taught us a ...read more

    The Root And The Fruit Series

    based on 129 ratings
     | 50,366 views

    If I’m not saved by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), why is it that the Rich man in Luke 16 and the Goats in Matthew 25:31-46 went to hell because the DIDN’T DO good works? That doesn’t make any sense... or does it?

    A Sunday School teacher had spent a great deal of teaching her young class about the fact that doing “good works” could not buy them a place in heaven. To drive home her point she asked her class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I ...read more

    Jesus Is Calling You To Repentance Today!

     | 4,461 views

    Jesus spoke of 'Repentance' more than any other subject. Repentance is required. Here's how!

    Jesus Is Calling You To Repentance Today There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. ~Luke 13:1 ° IS THE DAYS THEY WERE REFERRING TO WHEN ROME SLAUGHTERED INNOCENT PEOPLE OF THE GALATIANS. ° WE SEE THIS SAME ...read more

     | 12,693 views

    Watching for the Lord's return doesn't mean looking up to the sky; it means looking around to show God's love to those who need Him.

    INTRODUCTION This is the third and final message in the miniseries from Mark 13 entitled “Jesus’ Extended Forecast.” Jesus wasn’t predicting the weather; He was predicting the future. In this chapter, He gives us some important details about His second coming. The early church lived in ...read more

    An Ominous Note

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,414 views

    "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish!" Without the mercy and help of God, the cry goes forth a second time: "Cut it down!"

    AN OMINOUS NOTE. Luke 13:1-9. There has been an ominous note ringing in the Gospel of Luke ever since Jesus set His face like a flint, determined to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). This was the turning point of Luke’s Gospel, and has implications both for Jesus Himself (Luke 13:33), and for those ...read more

    Where is God when bad things happen? Are people who die in calamities and atrocities just getting what they deserve? Let’s discuss time and chance, and God giving us one last chance to repent. Let’s look at what Jesus said in Luke 13:1-9.

    Hate The Sin; Love The Sinner

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 2,895 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    Fate, Failure And Fig Trees (And Why Bad Things Happen To Good People)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 17, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,513 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    Sunday Is Here, But Monday Is Coming

    Contributed by Peter Mclewin on Mar 18, 2002
    based on 85 ratings
     | 13,459 views

    At the end of each day of the Holy Week, Jesus withdrew from the city and then returned in the morning with a fresh symbol of who He was. On Monday He used a fig tree to teach a powerful lesson about spiritual fruit.

    While in Israel last month (March 2001) I once again had the privilege of walking down the Mount of Olives in a manner similar to that which Jesus did so many years ago on Palm Sunday. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that view of city. It is, without a doubt, the best approach to the Holy ...read more

    Now is our grace hour. Now is the time to turn to him. A look at the biblical truths from the triumphal entry of Jesus and also see how the Jews missed the one last chance given by Jesus to recognize their Messiah.

    The House Of Prayer

     | 6,079 views

    When Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark 11, it was a symbolic act that represented God’s judgment on Israel for not bearing fruit and blessing the nations. As Christians, God has blessed us to be a blessing.
