    The Withered Fig Tree.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 17, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,562 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

    Apart from public sin, nothing shatters the fellowship, the spiritual growth & the witness of a congregation so much as disharmony among its members. Romans 15 continues Paul’s teaching in the vital importance of unity in the church, here meaning the loc

    How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2025
     | 498 views

    How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

    One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body? Many of us who fashion ourselves as born-again Bible-believing Christians might respond something like this: ...read more

    Rather than demand His rights as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus expected no special treatment - in fact, He turned the idea of service upside down.

    Who Is The Antichrist? Paul, And Conclusions (Final In Series) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 25, 2015
     | 4,623 views

    The apostle Paul's comments about the coming man of sin jive perfectly with Daniel's, Jesus', and John's. One would expect this in a Book that proclaims itself to be the Word of God. One author in Heaven speaking His truths through many authors on earth.

    7. PAUL: II THESSALONIANS 2 Did Paul ever deal with the question of the antichrist? Most assuredly. And as one might expect, this passage, II Thessalonians 2, has been abused quite a bit through the years. Let’s look at the first 12 verses. In the first place, Paul meant in no way to ...read more

    The Virtue Of Kindeness (6 Of 10) Series

    based on 61 ratings
     | 4,224 views

    Kindness is not an attitude or emotion. We do no think of people as being kind simply because they do not hurt anybody. We regard people as being kind if they go out of their way, with no public recognition, to perform deeds of kindness.

    Made righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, which we receive by faith in Him. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed. Whoever calls upon His name will be saved. Sincere faith leads to public confession of Christ.

    CONFESS AND BELIEVE. Romans 10:9.

This fact is echoed in the Scriptures, where we find the Jewish Christian ...read more

    There is a wind of confrontation blowing between law enforcement and the public in our society. There are some bad police officers, but a majority of them are good and out to protect us. Today, we invite them to worship with us and to pray for them.

    TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.

    Many seem to have a problem with this parable? The trouble is that whenever yeast is used figuratively in the Bible it is usually speaking about "the bad guys" and the influence of sin, hyprocrisy, or their false teaching, (1 Corinthians 5:6-8, Galatians
