In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 21:18-27. He explains Jesus' cursing of the fig tree as a profound spiritual diagnosis of outward appearance without inner fruitfulness, contrasting it with God's desire for a living trust and faith that enables one to do mighty things. He also discusses Jesus' encounter with the religious elite, highlighting how Jesus' question about John's authority exposed their hypocrisy and hard hearts, demonstrating God's loving but direct engagement.
