Everyone loves a good story, and it's even better when told by a gifted storyteller. Jesus was a master storyteller and often employed the use of parables. This week, we take a look at "The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree" as Jesus addresses an issue that can make us uncomfortable: repentance. In a society where regret and remorse are common but poor substitutes, repentance is a much less chosen path that leads to true freedom and joy.
