Jul 27, 2025    Pastor Jim McCarty

In this sermon, Pastor Jim explores Mark 11, focusing on Jesus' actions during Passion Week. He examines how Jesus confronted hypocrisy in the temple and cursed a fruitless fig tree as metaphors for exposing religious pretense. The sermon emphasizes that true faith produces visible fruit in believers' lives, contrasting with the religious leaders who maintained appearances without genuine devotion. Jesus' cleansing of the temple exposed corruption where religious leaders exploited worshippers through exorbitant prices for sacrificial animals.
