The Withered Fig Tree

This week in our ‘Wonder Working Power’ series, Pastor Nathan Penny leads us through the unusual miracle of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11. At first, it seems puzzling—but it’s actually a compelling parable about Israel’s outward religion: lots of leaves, but no real fruit. It’s a sober warning against empty words without true devotion. When Jesus comes to the temple of our hearts, what does He find? Just appearance—or genuine love and faith? Watch and reflect on moving from show to substance, and why genuine faith matters to our Lord.
