The Curse of Fruitless Religion: Dicovering the Worship That Jesus Wants
Time: Morning
Texts: Mark 11:12–33
Series: Mark
Have you ever felt that your faith has become routine and empty? This sermon explores the connection between Jesus' divine authority and the problem of fruitless religiosity. Through an analysis of Mark 11 and the literary structure of the passage, four key lessons are highlighted: the silence of the religious, the symbolism of the fruitless fig tree, the sanctification of God's house, and sincere believing prayer. Jesus shows us that He does not seek superficial rituals, but hearts transformed by genuine faith and authentic worship that flows from within.
