What if God has been more patient with you than you realize? In Week 1 of our summer series on the Parables of Jesus, Pastor Erik Wade explores the Parable of the Unfruitful Fig Tree. While many people assume God's patience means unlimited time, Jesus tells a different story. This powerful parable reveals both God's incredible mercy and the urgency of responding to Him before the opportunity passes. You'll discover: Why God's patience is a gift, not a guarantee What spiritual fruit reveals about our lives How to respond before it's too late God's grace is available today—but Jesus reminds us that tomorrow is never promised. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

In Mark 11:12-22 we see Jesus, having come to the village of Bethany from Jerusalem, now returning to Jerusalem the next morning. In verse 12 we see an example of Jesus' humanity. He was hungry. Having comes to a fig tree full of leaves but having no figs, Jesus curses the tree.Dr. Mitchell will explain the meaning of this fig tree, not bearing fruit at that time.Our Lord then makes His way into the temple. He once again cleanses the temple. This is the second time He cleans house. His house had become an emporium, a place for buying and selling sacrificial animals. Dr. Mitchell speaks into our present generation of the commercializing of divine things, where spiritual degeneracy is rampant, where spiritual things are being sold for profit.

In today's episode of the Tiny Theologians Easter series, Farmer Caroline joins us from the orchard to explore the meaning behind the fig tree. As she checks on her trees, she shares a surprising story about Jesus and a fig tree that looked healthy on the outside but had no fruit. Through this moment, we learn that Jesus cares not just about how things look on the outside, but about what is happening in our hearts. Today's symbol is the fig leaf, which reminds us that God desires lives that bear real fruit—love, joy, peace, and more—through the work of His Spirit in us. This story shows us that we cannot produce that kind of fruit on our own, but that Jesus gives us new hearts that grow good fruit from the inside out.

Kemper Koslofski teaching on Luke 21:29-33.

Epikos Church Milwaukee

In Gospel of Mark chapter 11, we encounter a King who refuses to fit our expectations. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna,” the crowd waves palms and projects their hopes of political victory onto Him. But this is no campaign rally—this is a confrontation. From the fig tree with leaves but no fruit, to the temple full of activity but empty of prayer, Jesus exposes a surface-level faith that looks alive from a distance yet withers up close. The message is clear: religion without repentance is nothing but leaves. Trusting Jesus isn't meant to fit neatly into our routines, playlists, or Sunday schedules—it's meant to overturn tables in our hearts and transform us from the inside out. In this powerful teaching, we're reminded that what isn't rooted in Christ will ultimately wither away. Jesus invites us beyond performative faith into a life marked by real fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Prayer isn't about bending God to our will; it's about aligning our hearts with His. Mountains move not because we name and claim, but because we trust and surrender. The question before us is simple but searching: are we asking Jesus to fit our lives, or are we surrendering to let Him change them? May our faith be more than leaves. May it bear fruit that lasts.
