Mark 11:9-33

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Luke explores Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, drawing parallels between the reactions of those present and our own responses to God's work in our lives. He unpacks the symbolism of the fig tree, emphasizing the importance of bearing spiritual fruit. Pastor Luke reminds us that outward appearances can be deceiving and that God desires true, heartfelt obedience over empty rituals. He encourages us to examine our hearts for root issues that hinder our spiritual growth, specifically addressing the need to forgive others. Through the example of the rejected cornerstone, Pastor Luke highlights Jesus's role as the foundation of our faith, even when misunderstood and rejected by the world. He reminds us that true faith involves trusting God's sovereignty, even when we don't understand His ways, and walking in obedience to experience deeper revelation.
