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.”
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Chuck Peter from Roseville, MN. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping people move from the appearance of faith to the fruit of it. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:12-14: On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. — Mark 11:12-14 At first glance, this seems like one of the most confusing moments in the Gospels. Jesus is hungry. He sees a fig tree full of leaves, promising the possibility of fruit. But when he gets close, there's nothing. So he curses it. Why? Because it looked fruitful from a distance, but had nothing to offer up close. This wasn't just about a tree. It was a parable in real time. An enacted warning. Jesus was making a point about empty religion. You see, the fig tree had the appearance of being healthy and vital. But no fruit. Just like the temple he was about to walk into. The temple was full of religious activity, rituals, and noise, but no repentance. No faith. No spiritual nourishment. It was all leaves, no fruit. Jesus sees through the façade. And he still does. From a distance, your life could look spiritual. Church attendance. Polite behavior. Christian language. Even Bible reading. But up close and intimate, does your life bear real fruit? Jesus doesn't curse the fig tree out of irritation. He curses it to make a statement. He's not fooled by appearances. Neither is he interested in performance that has no power behind it. So, stop focusing on looking spiritual. Start cultivating what actually matters—humility, repentance, love, truth, obedience, surrender. Because Jesus doesn't just want your leaves. He wants your life. And he wants it to be full of fruit. #RealFaith, #SpiritualFruit, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? What's the danger of outward appearances without spiritual depth? Where in your life are you tempted to “fake” fruit? What does real spiritual fruit look like for you this season? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “What kind of fruit do you see in my life?” And really listen. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to just look the part. I want to bear real fruit. Expose anything in me that's all appearance and no substance. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Clear the Stage” by Jimmy Needham.

The Fig Tree, The Temple, And The King
Jeremiah 29, 24, 27-28, 32
Jesus uses a simple analogy of a budding fig tree to help illustrate the complex future of God's Redemptive Plan.
Mark 11:12-14, 20-21
Jesus clearly tells His followers He will return. Luke 21:29-33, have caused people to doubt Jesus is God, is sovereign, and that He will return. There has been much speculation and heresy taught about this section of scripture. Using Biblical Hermeneutics, Travis exegetes this section of Scripture. He emphasizes how imperative it is that each hearer of Jesus teaching always be prepared… The post Certainty and the Fig Tree, Part 2 | Ready for the End appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.
Assurance the kingdom's coming will bring fulfillment of God's promises. In Jesus teaching regarding His imminent return in judgment, he used the illustration of a Fig tree and all trees. He is giving a warning to the hearers that what they see during their lifetime will all perish upon His return. This can be troubling to hearers. Jesus is telling the hearers… The post Certainty and the Fig Tree, Part 1 | Ready for the End appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

This week we continue with Mark Chapter 11. And here we reach the beginning of the end of the story as Jesus and his disciples reach Jerusalem. The first 7 chapters we focus on Jesus and his ministry in the region of Galilee as he proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom of God slowly revealing himself as the Messiah along the way. Then in chapters 8 through 10 we transitioned as Jesus began his journey south towards Jerusalem and began to unpack what that meant, what his mission truly was and what it means to follow him. Now pivot again as Jesus makes his triumphant entry into Jerusalem for the Passover week ready to confront the religious, political and most importantly spiritual powers of the world.
It's about whether or not the blessings we enjoy bring about the fruit that God seeks.

Introduction The Question of the Temple ( Mark 11:12-19 ) This is weird.

Mark 11:12-25: Cursing the Fig Tree, Cleansing the Temple & Moving Mountains➡️ Jesus curses a fig tree for bearing no fruit, even though it wasn't fig season. At first glance, this seems unfair. Some interpretations:> Creation is Broken: Some suggest the act reflects Jesus' grief over a broken creation. In a perfect world (like Eden), fruit trees would always bear fruit. The fig tree's barrenness symbolizes how sin has disrupted creation..> Symbol of Israel: The fig tree also represents Israel. Its lack of fruit reflects the spiritual barrenness of God's people. This ties to what follows.➡️ Jesus Cleanses the Temple Jesus enters the temple & violently clears out the money changers. The fig tree & the temple are likely connected.> Fig Tree = Israel's False Peace: Like the tree, Israel gives the appearance of health but bears no spiritual fruit. It represents a religious system that had become transactional, abusive, and no longer a source of the forgiveness of sins. >Temple System Coming to an End: Jesus' actions show that the entire temple system has run its course. Jesus fulfills the temple, and it is no longer necessary — He is the new temple.➡️ Faith That Moves Mountains What does this mean when Jesus says, “If you have faith, you can say to this mountain, ‘Be thrown into the sea,' and it will be done?” > The "mountain" may symbolize the Temple MountIt doesn't mean God is a "vending machine" where faith is a currency to get material things.Nor is it about manipulating God to get what you want.The call to “move mountains” is not about miracles or material gain, but faith in Jesus. Prayer, then, is about aligning our hearts with God's will — seeking the kingdom and finding comfort in His promises, not worldly outcomes.Contributor Rev. Harrison Goodman is the Higher Things Executive Director of Missions and Theology.Contributor Eli Lietzau is the pastor at Wheat Ridge Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO.#higherthings #lcms #lutheran #jesus
The cursing of the fig tree isn't a random act of frustration but a deliberate teaching tool sandwiched around Jesus' cleansing of the temple. Both incidents highlight the same spiritual truth—Israel's leadership had failed in its divine purpose. Though "it wasn't the season for figs," Jesus makes clear that this particular season in Israel's history was characterized by spiritual fruitlessness.We examine how the withered tree serves as both judgment and warning. Just as Jesus inspected the fig tree and found no evidence of future fruit, He inspected the temple and found corruption instead of worship. The parallel is unmistakable—God expects fruitfulness from those who claim to follow Him.This episode delivers a sobering question for today's church: What happens when Christ inspects our ministries and personal lives? Are we bearing genuine spiritual fruit, or merely displaying religious leaves? The fig tree's withering stands as a powerful reminder that God's judgment falls on fruitlessness.Join us next time as we continue our verse-by-verse journey through Mark's gospel, exploring the final days of Jesus before His crucifixion—the most significant events in human history.Support the showThank you for listening!!
