In this sermon, we dive into Mark 11:12-25, where Jesus curses a barren fig tree and cleanses the temple, revealing a powerful "acted parable" about God’s judgment on fruitless worship. Far from being a "chill hippie," Jesus confronts corruption, quoting Jeremiah 7:11 to expose the temple’s failure as a house of prayer for all nations. The fig tree’s withering mirrors the temple’s spiritual barrenness, leading to Jesus’ teaching on faith-filled prayer. When He says to move “this mountain” (v. 23), He’s pointing to the temple and any power opposing God’s kingdom. We’re called to pray boldly against injustice—like systemic harm or ideologies causing division—while forgiving as Jesus did (v. 25). The sermon ends with a challenge from Mark 11:27-33, urging us to fear God over worldly concerns (Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7), trusting in His mercy and power to transform lives.
