Season For Figs

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 21, 2024

Mark 11:13 The fig tree was in tune with the world's seasons but not with God’s seasons. As per the ...read more

Mark 11:15 How do we translate this verse in this present generation. The church became ...read more

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
