Mark 11:12-14,20-25

Join us for the 34th installment of our expository series, "The Book of Mark," where Pastor Charlie explores Mark 11:12-14,20-25 in the sermon titled "Fruit... or Leaves?" Discover the powerful story of Jesus cursing the fig tree and what it reveals about religious appearance versus spiritual substance. Pastor Charlie challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we producing genuine spiritual fruit, or are we simply displaying attractive leaves without real substance? Learn how the fig tree represents not just Israel, but each of us, and what Jesus sees when He looks at the fruit of our faith. This message explores the difference between going through religious motions and experiencing true spiritual transformation through abiding in Christ. Be inspired to move beyond surface-level faith and discover how genuine fruitfulness comes through faith, forgiveness, and a clean heart. Don't miss this convicting and encouraging exploration of what it means to live with authentic spiritual vitality.
