    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.

    THE HOUSE OF PRAYER INTRO: Talk about the youth conference and our spring break visit with my family. OPENING TEXT: “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants-- Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, ...read more

    If we want to bear fruit for the glory of God and lead people to Him on a regular basis, then we must let Christ clean out the fruitless religion, and we must pray with hearts full of faith and forgiveness

    Those who truly depend upon God, lay hold of divine opportunities and see the invisible, attempt the impossible and achieve the unthinkable!

    What image comes to mind when you think about a hero riding in to save the day? Jesus, our ultimate action hero, rides into Jerusalem to save the day for humanity, but not in the way you would imagine, not this time anyway.

    When you picture the hero coming in to save the day you probably think of a tall guy in a tall hat riding in on tall white horse with a couple of shotguns off of his saddle and two in his hands. Well, our ultimate action hero, Jesus, rides into Jerusalem all right—but on a tall white horse? ...read more
