Podcasts about fig tree

In this message, we look at Jesus confronting Jerusalem and exposing the resistance to God's goodness that can settle in our own hearts. When God reveals His glory, love, and goodness, many of us still struggle to believe and receive it. In a world filled with both hopeful and destructive voices, Jesus calls us to discern well, to trust His intention to restore, and to step out of fruitless beliefs and traditions and into a life rooted in true Kingdom faith and lasting fruitfulness.Visit Our Website for more content, info, and to support our Ministry.

Mark 11 v12-25

Wednesday November 19th, 2025

Jesus having demonstrated both His authority and His compassion, now shows His control of creation for a distinct purpose. With His disciples in His presence, He curses a fig tree and it withers immediately.Dr. Mitchell gives us an understanding of these words spoken by our Savior concerning the meaning of this fig tree and Israel.The disciples were astonished and wondered why the fig tree withered so quickly.Jesus gives His disciples a lesson about faith and prayer.Dr.Mitchell once agains warns against the unbelief of the heart. To have faith and not doubt endues the disciple with the power of God to do God's will in his generation. Our Lord Jesus even now prays for our faith in Him that it fail not, just as He spoke to Peter in Luke 22. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 21:17.

We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Connect with Jesus or Wither Away - Matt. 21:12-27When the child of GodLooks into the word of GodAnd sees the Son of God,They are transformed by the Spirit of GodInto the image of GodFor the glory of God.-Warren Wiersbe“You had better converse with him yourselves.”Matt. 21:12-27Jesus gives the Temple a cleansing - V. 12-17The purpose of the Temple was for Jews and even the rest of the world to come and connect with God through prayer, praise, and Bible teaching – but their actions had made it hard to really connect with God.Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, comes from a far country for the sake of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when he comes and prays toward this house, hear from Heaven Your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may fear You, as do your people Israel. - 2 Chronicles 6:32-33aJesus gives the fig tree a curse - V. 18-22What's the deal with the cursing of the fig tree? The fig tree was a symbol for Israel (Hosea 9:10). The Purpose of a Fig Tree was to bear fruit. The purpose of Israel was also to bear fruit. Neither the fig tree or that generation of Isarael's leaders were fulfilling their purpose.They ask Him in verse 20 why the Fig Tree withered at once. What He is concerned about is that they don't wither also by not being people of faith and prayer, yielding to God's purposes for their lives.The simple lesson in verses 21-22 is that there must be faith in our prayers as we embrace God's purposes for us. Obedience to Jesus will feature seemingly impossible obstacles before us, but we can have confidence that God's will certainly will prevail even if it means we die on a cross.Jesus gives the disingenuous a comeback - V. 23-27The word for authority is the word exousia (G 1849), which occurs 93 times in the New Testament. It is translated as right (John 1:12), authority (Matt. 7:29; 9:6; 28:16), and power (Rev. 20:6). Matthew's gospel has proven that Jesus Christ is the ultimate exousia over the world.

From global conflicts to spiritual decline, these aren't just coincidences - they're signs pointing to something bigger. Pastor Wayne shares powerful insights on why current events might be pointing to prophecy fulfilled. Are you watching for the signs?

On this episode of the WSNS Podcast, I want to make some comparisons between the Parable of the Fig Tree and the fruit in our lives.

Mark 11:12-25

Guest Speaker Seth Dahl brings a challenging message following our Family Life Conference

Rev. Austin Gilliland Luke 13:6-9

We are called to identify the fig trees that pose as God's promises! In this power-packed message, Ps. Jesse encourages us to speak life over these fig trees for our own benefit and for our great city. If we don't, who will?  

Jesus isn't just looking for leaves—He's looking for fruit. In Mark 11:11–14, we see a fig tree that looked alive but was empty, a picture of Israel's outward religion without true righteousness. This week, Pastor Korey reminds us that real life in Christ comes from abiding in the Vine, not just looking spiritual on the outside, and calls us to examine what fruit God is growing in us today.

The Fig Tree welcomes the Logan family to discuss the link between generational curses and sickness.https://www.logoshealth.org/

The sermon explores the parable of the fig tree to examine the need for genuine fruitfulness in the lives of believers. Drawing parallels between the owner's patience with a barren tree and God's extended grace towards Israel and the church, the message emphasizes the importance of producing tangible evidence of faith, such as love, joy, and righteousness, rather than merely outward appearances or religious affiliation. The speaker urges listeners to self-examine their lives, recognizing the urgency of responding to God's offer of grace before time runs out and judgment arrives, ultimately calling for a heartfelt confession of faith and a commitment to bearing fruit for the kingdom.

Why does Jesus curse a fig tree? Join us as we examine a confusing passage and what it all has to do with the temple, and with you and me. 

Christ concludes with a call to maintain a perspective rooted in hope and perseverance, even in the face of suffering or discouragement. We see through history tha Christians face persecution. We can think of postwar Europe and the commitment required of Christians under threat. He highlights the continual need to evaluate priorities and find strength not in oneself but in the risen Christ. We might be tempted to give in to fear or pessimism, but believers are urged to pray, trust, and remember that their ultimate victory is in Christ, who has triumphed and secured new life for his people. The final exhortation is to cling to the Savior in humility, recognizing that lasting strength comes from him and not from human effort or institutions.May we be a discerning people who are not deceived by the false teachers and prophets in our day. Let us be a discerning people who seek to pursue our Lord as we walk in his wisdom.

Does the Bible give us some "early warning signs" of the Antichrist? Don't believe everything you hear on the internet about the newfound identity of the Antichrist, his favorite TV shows, and what he had for breakfast. God's Word doesn't give us an artist's sketch of the Man of Sin - but it does have some tips for spotting him early. Jim will mention 3 of those, today. We'll complete our series, The Fig Tree is Blossoming, with this sermon in the book of Daniel. It's called: The Career of the 11th Horn.

Today, Pastor Jack continues teaching that end times doctrine is vital to our faith. We live in amazing times, and we can count on what Jesus spoke of in this parable. When we recognize the hour in which we live, we can trust that God will keep His promises and His Word.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we need to be careful of our own apathy in relation to Christ's return. Our faith should become even stronger, knowing that His return for us is ever closer.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that everything Jesus said while He was on the earth was validated by His death. But, that was not all. In His resurrection, He became our advocate for eternal life in Heaven with Him.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that just like summer is near when the fig tree is in bloom, there's indicators of Jesus' return. It's why we're to be ready for His arrival, not to simply watch, but by doing everything we can to share our faith with others.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches why this parable is so important, and why Jesus does not want us to miss its message. There's a joy in being ready for His return. And, He's holding us accountable to know the time is near.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that while Jesus was on the earth in human skin, He didn't know when He was coming back, only God the Father knew. Jesus, of course, knows now, but we do not, and we need to be ready for His return.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to take this parable with absolute seriousness. False miracles and signs will deceive many. But, with Jesus' Second Coming, it will be a global event where everyone will see Him coming.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the sequence of prophetic events is as certain as the sequence of natural events. The Pharisees of Jesus' time missed it, but as Christ followers, we wait for His return with eager anticipation.
