    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 2, 2018
     | 12,479 views

    Jesus approached a fig tree expecting to find fruit, but it only had leaves. While it looked promising from a distance, looks were deceiving. Are we bearing fruit or just showing pretty leaves and blooms?

    The Barren Fig Tree Mark 11: 12-14; 20-21 Our text today follows Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He had begun what most consider the Passion Week, the final days leading up to His crucifixion on Calvary’s hill. Most agree these events would have taken place on Monday morning of that ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 16, 2021
     | 2,846 views

    This is a rewrite of Charles Spurgeon's great message on spiritual warfare. It points out that all Christians are supposed to be warriors for Jesus, fight with the same weapons as the early church, and wage war by the same Spirit. It will bless your people!

A husband said to his wife, “I’m not sure ‘you can’t take it with you.’ I’m going to put a few thousand dollars in the attic and when we go up, we can pick it up on our way to heaven.” 2.

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.
