Nothing But Leaves

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Mar 20, 2024

Intro: The miracle that we are going to look at today is the second to last miracle Jesus performed before His crucifixion. What's unique about this miracle is instead of Jesus healing something or making something whole, in this miracle Jesus curses something.

As you heard in our scripture reading Jesus cursed the fig tree *1st SLIDE and then the next day when they went by it again it was dead and withered away. It’s important to understand that this was a sign to the Jews that if they rejected Jesus as their King they would be cursed, of course they did ...read more

Putting Things Before God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023

An Old Challenge For A New Year

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 24, 2021
