Matthew 21:18-32 (pt. 1)

<p>In Matthew 21, Jesus is returning to Jerusalem after the triumphal entry. The crowds have praised Him, welcomed Him, and celebrated His arrival. But Jesus carries a much heavier understanding of what He sees in the city and in the temple.</p><p><br></p><p>On His way back, He encounters a fig tree that looks healthy from a distance but bears no fruit. That image reflects the spiritual condition He is about to confront in the temple.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Pastor Mike helps us understand what the fig tree reveals about Israel and the kind of fruit God desires from His people.</p>
