Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 8, 2020
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Mark 11. Jesus entered Jerusalem to celebrate His final Passover and cursed a fig tree for being unfruitful. The fig tree was a symbol of Israel and their rejection of Jesus as king. The tree was covered in leaves but had no signs of bearing fruit. In the same way, Israel was covered in the leaves of religion but lacked the spiritual fruit that comes from maturity in God. This chapter exposes our individual spiritual hypocrisies and convicts us to repent.
