Lessons from the Fig Tree
In this episode, we explore the powerful spiritual lessons found in three moments with the fig tree in Scripture from Adam and Eve’s fig leaves in the Garden of Eden, to Jesus' parable of the barren fig tree, and finally His prophetic act of cursing the fruitless tree before the cross. Each story unveils God’s heart: He is not impressed with outward appearances. He desires genuine faith, spiritual fruit, and a heart that responds to His grace.
We’ll unpack how these fig trees reveal the danger of empty religion, the hope of divine patience, and the only true covering for our sin, Jesus Christ. Whether you're wrestling with spiritual stagnation or wondering what real faith looks like, this episode will help you move beyond leaves and into a fruitful life that honors God.
