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'S TREASUREThough the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord;I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

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.

Why Did Jesus Curse The Fig Tree? | യേശു എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് അത്തിവൃക്ഷത്തെ ശപിച്ചത്? | Malayalam Devotional | Br. Damien Antony | Morning Glory Podcast - 1675 | 04 Aug 2025

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.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you would like to learn more about this project, click the link to discover more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 13:28-31: “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. — Mark 13:28-31 Jesus tells His disciples to look at a fig tree. Not to predict the future, but to prepare for it. Just like you can recognize the signs of changing seasons, you should recognize the signs of spiritual urgency. When the branches soften. When the leaves start budding. When the shift in the air says, “summer is near.” Jesus says: That's how close I am. At the gates. Nearer than you realize. But then He anchors them all with this line: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” This world is temporary. His Word is not. Everything else will shake. But his truth will stand. It's unshakable. We spend so much useless energy trying to guess the timeline. When will the end come? Who's the antichrist? What about this global event? What does this sign mean? But Jesus isn't asking you to decode the calendar. He's asking you to remain spiritually alert, awake, and ready. To recognize the season and stop worrying about the date. Because the truth is—Jesus may return in your lifetime. Or not. But either way, you will stand before King Jesus. And that's not meant to cause panic. It's meant to produce urgency, holiness, and hope. So are you ready? I not, trust in King Jesus today. Jesus, I believe your Word is true and eternal. While this world fades, you remain. Today, I surrender my life to you. I place my faith not in signs, success, or security—but in your saving grace. Forgive my sin. Fill me with your Spirit. Make me ready for your return. From this day forward, I choose to follow you as my Savior, my King, and my only hope. Amen. #StayReady, #Mark13, #UnshakableWord ASK THIS: Why do you think Jesus uses the fig tree as an example? What “season signs” do you see in the world today? How do you guard against spiritual apathy while waiting? What does it mean to trust Jesus' words more than headlines? DO THIS: Write this down and post it somewhere visible: “Everything else will pass—but His Word never will.” And ask yourself daily: Am I ready? PRAY THIS: Jesus, I believe your Word is true and eternal. While this world fades, you remain. Today, I surrender my life to you. I place my faith not in signs, success, or security—but in your saving grace. Forgive my sin. Fill me with your Spirit. Make me ready for your return. From this day forward, I choose to follow you as my Savior, my King, and my only hope. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come, Lord Jesus, Come."

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.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Dave Schuknecht from Waverly, IA. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping grow faith that's deep, rooted, and bold. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:20-24: As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. — Mark 11:20-24 The fig tree is dead. Withered from the roots up. The very tree Jesus had cursed the day before is now nothing but dry branches and lifeless bark. Peter is stunned. But Jesus isn't. And Jesus doesn't say, “Look what I did.” He simply turns to his disciples and teaches them about faith in God. The kind of faith that moves what human strength never could. He speaks of mountains. Obstacles. Impossibilities. And he says, if you believe and do not doubt, it will be done for you. This isn't name-it-claim-it theology. It's an authentic, mountain-moving prayer, rooted not in wishful thinking but in confident trust in God's character and power. Jesus invites us to a faith that doesn't just believe God exists, but believes God is able. Not a faith that measures the size of the problem by our ability, but one that sees every problem in light of God's power. Some things in your life feel too big to move: That relationship. That addiction. That bitterness. That long-unanswered prayer. But Jesus says the issue isn't the size of your obstacle—it's the object of your faith. The point isn't to fixate on the mountain. It's to seek the One who made the mountain. And to trust him, whether the mountain moves or not. Because faith isn't confidence in your prayer or in getting what you want. It's trust in God's power, presence, and purpose—no matter what. #MountainMovingFaith, #PrayBold, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus use the fig tree to teach about faith? What “mountain” are you facing right now? Is your faith focused on results—or on the God who hears? What changes when you trust God's power more than your own? DO THIS: Pray boldly today for something that feels too big. Name the mountain—and ask God to move it, then trust Him either way. PRAY THIS: Father, I trust your power even when I can't see progress. Grow my faith—not just to pray boldly, but to believe you fully. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Do It Again.”
