• You can’t judge a book by its cover. That goes both ways. • A book with a tattered cover may be so because it has been often read. • Yet it may be so because it is often tossed aside and abused. • Ill. Two ranchers were in the city bank to get an extension of their ...read more

A Sober Warning

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Mar 20, 2014

From the 'fig tree' we can glean four warnings which are sobering!!

A Sober Warning Mark 11:12-14, 20-21 * As I read this text I am reminded once again of why I love to preach through books the Bible and why I believe God leads me to preach through books of the Bible.

Fig Tree Or Fake Tree

Contributed by Larry Turner on Apr 3, 2012

Have Faith In God

Contributed by John D Jones on May 1, 2012

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

In Mark 11, we find Jesus and His disciples en route to Jerusalem. Travelling from Bethany, it was a 2 mile journey. As they make their way, in the distance Jesus sees a fig tree.

Trotting In To Save The Day Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 4, 2012

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

Palm Sunday - What Jesus Saw

Contributed by Steven Kellett on Mar 18, 2016

What Jesus saw on Palm Sunday were people whose worship was "fruitless, fraudulent and faithless"

You know, Palm Sunday is kind of a strange day to me. It’s hard to explain, but today is kind of an enigma: - We call it “Palm Sunday.” - It seems like it should be a special day – a “holiday.” And in some ways it is - It is marked every year on the ...read more

The First Palm Sunday And The Purge

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Mar 20, 2016

After praises from the Jerusalemites, Jesus curses the fig tree, which is symbolic of Israel, and then He cleans out the money changers in the Temple. Palm Sunday has a lot to do with purging out dead, fruitless people, and hypocrisy!

The First Palm Sunday and The Purge Kelly Durant Mark 11:1-25 2. How many of you like crime stories? It usually begins with a piece of the evidence in front of you, but all the pieces you have to put together so you understand all of what happened. What led up to the incident?

Palm Sunday: Appearances Can Be Different To Reality

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Apr 3, 2020

On Palm Sunday, things were not as they appeared

Things aren’t what they appear to be. And in life, some things are also not what they seem. For example, we can make assumptions about things and systems and people, and maybe we steer clear of something because it seems like something we don’t like. Maybe we look at a food or a venue or a type of ...read more

Going Public Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Apr 5, 2020

For most of HIs ministry, Jesus commanded people to be quiet about who He was. But on Palm Sunday, Jesus went public about His identity, His nature, and His purpose.

Going Public Mark 11:1-25 Good morning! Please take your Bibles and turn to Mark 11. We are jumping ahead in our study of Mark because this is Holy Week.

On Monday of the last week of our Lord’s life, Jesus went to Jerusalem with His disciples and cleansed the temple. On their way there, they’d come upon a fig tree.

Alive - But Not Productive

Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Jan 29, 2019

Why Did Jesus Die?

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018

Jesus died a very brutal death and Christian know that by his death we have life. But at the time what were the charges that the Jews had to warrant death and why did they pass Jesus over to the Romans to do their dirty work?

Why did Jesus Die? The ministry of Jesus lasted just over 3 years and we have the gospels that relate and record that ministry. A wealth of material to guide our Christian living, to offer us hope and to give us a strong faith. And yet out of all the gospels that last week of Jesus predominates, ...read more
