Podcasts about Mark 11

The triumphal entry- When Jesus entered Jerusalem, prepared to begin his final days of public ministry, many people rejoiced to see Him. However, when Jesus came to the temple, those who were using religion for selfish gain were not so happy to see Him interrupt their operation.

Program for 06/11/2026 Covenant Community Church: Mark 11

Research shows that reading the Bible at least four times per week creates a dramatic tipping point in spiritual growth, leading to significant decreases in negative behaviors and increases in positive spiritual activities. There are three powerful approaches to Scripture: reading for information using the FACT method, reading for application using the SOAP method, and reading for transformation using the REAP method. Each approach serves a vital purpose and they often work together to deepen your engagement with God's Word. The key to experiencing life change is consistency in regular Scripture reading, allowing God to transform you from the inside out.

Unlock the secret to seeing God's supernatural power in your life through the words you speak, as Andrew shares powerful insights from Mark 11 about faith and authority.

Sometimes our spiritual lives can appear healthy on the outside while struggling underneath, like a car with warning lights constantly glowing. Through Jesus' triumphal entry, the cursing of the fig tree, and the temple cleansing in Mark 11, we see how God looks beyond appearances to examine the heart. The crowds praised Jesus with the right words but would turn against Him a week later. The fig tree had abundant leaves but no fruit, representing spiritual emptiness despite outward vitality. The temple appeared alive with activity but had become spiritually barren. God isn't fooled by religious performances or polished appearances - He desires genuine faith, authentic prayer, and real spiritual fruit that comes from a heart truly connected to Him.

Friday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary TimeMark 11:11-26Early in the morning, as they were walking along,they saw the fig tree withered to its roots.Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look!The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”Jesus said to them in reply, “Have faith in God."

Whenever God speaks, you can listen in a way that increases your sensitivity to his voice or in a way that deadens your ability to hear God. Some spiritual ignorance is innocent. But very often, ignorance is due to unwillingness to accept what God has revealed. Agnosticism is not an intellectually respectable position. More often than not, it's simply willful ignorance. In this expository sermon from Mark 11:27–33, we examine one of the most fascinating confrontations in the Gospels. After cleansing the temple, Jesus is challenged by the chief priests, scribes, and elders: "By what authority are you doing these things?" But with a single counter-question about John the Baptist, Jesus exposes their hypocrisy.If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

Mark 11:27-12:12 // Ray Guerra Find out more about River City Church at rivercitydbq.org

The cursing of the fig tree stands out as Jesus' only miracle of destruction. Some reject this miracle as being beneath the Jesus we know. Did he really get so annoyed about not getting a fig that he would destroy the tree—even though he knew it wasn't the season for figs? Or is there a deeper lesson? This Bible teaching explores: • Why Jesus cursed the fig tree • Whether this was a "bad miracle" • The fig tree as a prophetic object lesson • The connection between fruitlessness and divine judgment • What this miracle reveals about faith and hypocrisy • The curse on creation and the age-of-the-earth debate • How Jesus used physical illustrations to communicate spiritual truth If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

In Mark 11, Jesus tells his disciples they can hurl mountains into the sea, and in the very same week prays, "Not my will, but yours." What is the balance between approaching the throne with bold, impassioned prayers and surrendering to God's will above our own? Was Jesus promising Christians the power to move literal mountains? Why didn't the apostles ever do it? And why does Jesus connect mountain-moving faith with forgiveness? Jesus' teaching in this passage shows the answers rise from understanding one of God's more underappreciated attributes—his eagerness to answer your prayers. He loves saying, "yes" to his children!

Mark 11:12-15

Exodus 19-20; 19 Psalms 76-77; 41 Mark 11

Send me a Text Message!If you have been following me for a bit, you know that the last few months, I've loaded my weekend message from Calvary on Monday's. Gives me a bit of a break and sometimes, it has fit right in with the current MTB podcast series.While this weekend's message, (and thus this episode) has absolutely no mention of Haggai or Nehemiah, I do talk about temples and sacred places. It's the concluding message in our "Homecoming" series that started in Palm Sunday, and it has a bit of a twist in the story. Instead of God welcoming us home...it's a challenge for us to welcome God home!Oh and for those who weren't able to be with us...it was an amazing Sunday. We baptized 14 people, prayed for college students, and worshipped our amazing Jesus! A good, good day!

What did Jesus really accomplish when He cursed the fig tree and overturned the tables in the Temple? In this in-depth expository teaching from Mark 11:11–24, we uncover a powerful and often misunderstood moment in Jesus' final days. Far from being random acts, these events reveal a decisive turning point in redemptive history—the judgment of the old Temple system and the introduction of something entirely new. Jesus inspects the Temple and finds it lacking the very fruit it was designed to produce: prayer—especially prayer from the nations. Using the fig tree as a living parable, He demonstrates that outward religious activity without true spiritual fruit leads to judgment. But the message doesn't end there.

Turning the Tables – Mark 11:27-12:17 by Redemption Church

Pastor Tamar speaks on how Jesus evaluates the state of the church and removes obstacles.

Pastor Tamar speaks on how Jesus evaluates the state of the church and removes obstacles.

Before Jesus can use you, He has to disrupt you — and that's actually good news. We all love the version of Jesus who comforts us, encourages us, and comes alongside us. But what do we do with the Jesus who confronts us? Because that's exactly who we meet in Mark chapter 11. This story is situated in Holy Week, and as Jesus enters Jerusalem for the last time, everything is about to shift. The crowds are cheering, palm branches are flying, and people are crying out Hosanna — God, save us! It's a high moment. And then Jesus walks into the temple... and turns it upside down. Here's what I want you to see today, because this is the passage that gets misused more than almost any other: you are not Jesus in this story. You are the temple. Before Jesus can use any of us for anything, He has to come in and disrupt the systems inside of us that keep us from real worship — the appearances, the transactions, the religion-without-transformation that can look perfectly healthy on the outside while bearing zero fruit. We also dig into the curious moment when Jesus curses a fig tree — and why that's not about Jesus needing breakfast. It's a prophetic symbol, pointing to the same problem in the temple: the appearance of life without the substance of it. Looking good on the outside, but not actually connected to God at all. And we sit with something I find both hard and beautiful: as the story enters Passion Week, Jesus doesn't just overturn tables — He goes on to suffer. He allows things to happen to Him because He knows what it's accomplishing. And because He went ahead of us in that suffering, we are never alone in ours. We can't have a life that's Jesus plus anything. It's Jesus plus nothing — and that actually ends up being everything. Want More?

Why would Jesus kill a tree—on purpose? Why was he crying during his triumphal entry? Why did he cleanse a temple that was about to be destroyed? And what do those events teach us about how to have a productive, fruitful life that brings pleasure to God? In Mark 11, we see how these seemingly strange actions come together to show us how to fulfill God's wonderful plan for his people.

The King is Coming to Town – Mark 11:1-25 by Redemption Church

Jesus enters Jerusalem and is welcomed heartily with fanfare, cheers, and expectation. Many had concluded rightly that Jesus was the promised Messiah, but had concluded wrongly that Jesus would a conquering king in the traditional sense. They assumed that Jesus had come to take the throne of Israel in a limited, earthly sense, like kings that had come before him. Christ, however, came to vanquish sin and death, not the Roman government. When he enters the temple he rebukes those who use the worship of God as a money-making venture. The chief priests, scribes, and elders challenge the authority of Jesus, but calls their bluff by revealing that fear people more than they fear God. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Pastor Dan continues our series in the Gospel of Mark by unpacking 11:1-25. 

People often miss the way Jesus staged his triumphal entry—and the meaning of the event Jesus was re-enacting from a thousand years earlier. In this verse-by-verse, expository sermon on Mark 11:1–10, we uncover the significance of each element of the Triumphal Entry and how it reveals Jesus as the promised Messiah, the true King, and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. When the craziness of this world has you worried or upset, this message will help restore your joy. This message explores the deeper meaning behind the colt, the crowd's response, and the prophetic connection to King David. Discover how Jesus presents Himself as the "greater David"—a righteous, powerful, and gentle King who brings salvation.

As we gather to worship on Palm Sunday, we step into the story of Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem. In this message, Pastor Maiola Vivas reminds us that true worship isn't found in outward display or fleeting enthusiasm but in simple, faithful obedience. Through the simple obedience of the disciples and the cries of the crowd, we are invited to consider what we are bringing before the Lord. What kind of fruit is growing in your life? Just as the fig tree appeared to be full of life but lacked fruit, we're reminded that God desires hearts that are genuine, surrendered, and abiding in Him. This is not about perfection or performance, but about love, trust, and a willingness to obey Jesus in both the seen and unseen moments of our lives. In a refreshing and freeing way, Pastor Maiola calls us back to a simple truth: what we bring to God may feel small but He delights in it. Like a loving Father receiving a child's offering, He takes our imperfect worship and makes it pleasing to Him. As we walk through Holy Week together, we are invited to worship in spirit and truth and to bringing our whole heart before our King.
