    The Barren Temple Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003
    based on 104 ratings
     | 19,410 views

    Christ’s cursing of the fig tree and "cleansing" of the temple caution us about living our lives by mere appearances and trusting in anything other than Jesus.

    Appearances can be deceiving. I was reminded of this several years ago when I was waiting in line at a McDonalds with two of my sons. A guy came into McDonalds who looked really suspicious. He had long hair, tattoos everywhere, several body piercings, and he just looked scary. This guy seemed to be ...read more

    In the Parable of the Fig Tree Jesus taught that one can tell what is coming by watching the signs. As surely as one can discern the approach of summer by the leafing of a tree, so these signs announce the nearness of the kingdom.

    LUKE 21: 24-29-33 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE RETURN OF CHRIST / THE FIG TREE [Romans 8:18-25] The portion of Jesus’ discourse we are looking at this morning entails what is to be after the time of the Gentiles has been fulfilled in respect to Jerusalem. The heavens will be observably ...read more

    A sermon on the ILLUSTRATION that God gave Jeremiah of two baskets of Figs.

    I want to describe something wonderful. It has a light flaky outer coating. It’s sweet and delicious. So soft like a cake. And it’s about an inch and a half square. But the inside, oh man is it good. It’s soft but chewy, dark and sweet with just a little bit of grit from the natural fruit. ...read more

    In this very mobile age, there are many modes of transportation we may pick from.

    For example: -We can travel by car, boat, airplane, or bus. One of the most exciting and fastest ways of travel is by airplane. We can be here today and be literally thousands of miles away in only a matter of a few short hours. It may be a different matter when it comes to our ...read more

    Jesus spoke of 'Repentance' more than any other subject. Repentance is required. Here's how!

    Jesus Is Calling You To Repentance Today There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. ~Luke 13:1 ° IS THE DAYS THEY WERE REFERRING TO WHEN ROME SLAUGHTERED INNOCENT PEOPLE OF THE GALATIANS. ° WE SEE THIS SAME ...read more

     | 1,662 views

    When Jesus entered Jerusalem for His final week, He fulfilled prophesy and claimed His Lordship. He is Lord of all, but we must make Him our personal Lord.

    Introduction: A. I want to begin with an illustration from Bruce Larson’s book, Believe and Belong. 1. For many years, Bruce worked in NYC and when people were struggling with whether to surrender their lives to Christ, he would take them on a walk from his office to the RCA building on Fifth ...read more

    God's Expectation Series

    Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008
     | 9,871 views

    The focal point of this parable is God’s expectation of His people, Israel or Christians. God is the owner of the vineyard who inspects and expects the fig tree –His people to bear fruit.

    This morning, we will study the parable of the barren fig tree. This parable is one of the shortest parables of our Lord in the Gospels. We don’t have fig trees here in the Philippines, so most of us I believe have not seen a fig tree. Fortunately, the internet is giving us anything we want to ...read more

    An Ominous Note

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,414 views

    "Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish!" Without the mercy and help of God, the cry goes forth a second time: "Cut it down!"

    AN OMINOUS NOTE. Luke 13:1-9. There has been an ominous note ringing in the Gospel of Luke ever since Jesus set His face like a flint, determined to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). This was the turning point of Luke’s Gospel, and has implications both for Jesus Himself (Luke 13:33), and for those ...read more

    Watching for the Lord's return doesn't mean looking up to the sky; it means looking around to show God's love to those who need Him.

    INTRODUCTION This is the third and final message in the miniseries from Mark 13 entitled “Jesus’ Extended Forecast.” Jesus wasn’t predicting the weather; He was predicting the future. In this chapter, He gives us some important details about His second coming. The early church lived in ...read more

    Where is God when bad things happen? Are people who die in calamities and atrocities just getting what they deserve? Let’s discuss time and chance, and God giving us one last chance to repent. Let’s look at what Jesus said in Luke 13:1-9.

    Jesus And The Religious Leaders In The Temple

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015
     | 3,827 views

    The fig tree looked good on the outside but it wasn’t producing any fruit. The religious leaders looked good on the outside, but they didn’t provide for the people. Jesus decreed that he would let them fade and raise up something new in their place.

    The events in John 2:18-25 occur just after Jesus has chased the moneychangers and the sellers out of the temple. The religious leaders wanted to know who gave Jesus the authority to do what he did in the temple. Jesus did not give them an answer because he knew that the religious leaders did not ...read more

    Fate, Failure And Fig Trees (And Why Bad Things Happen To Good People)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 17, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,513 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more
