A Lesson From the Fig Tree
By David Wilkerson0MRK 11:14MRK 11:21EPH 2:8David Wilkerson teaches that in the final days of His ministry, Jesus used the barren fig tree to illustrate the need for faith over the old religious system based on works. He emphasized that the disciples, slow to believe, needed to remove the hindrances in their hearts to lead the new church effectively. The withering of the fig tree symbolized God's rejection of the performance-based religion and the birth of a faith-based relationship with Him. Jesus encouraged His followers to have faith in God, assuring them that they could overcome their mountains of unbelief, sin, and discouragement through trust in Him. This message calls believers to embrace a new way of living by faith, rather than by human effort.
When God Calls Us to Act
By David Wilkerson0EXO 3:18EXO 4:1EXO 14:15JAS 1:6David Wilkerson emphasizes the distinction between the prayer of faith and the prayer of unbelief, illustrating this through the story of Moses at the Red Sea. Despite Moses' deep prayers, God rebuked him for his cries of panic, highlighting that such unbelief is unacceptable. Wilkerson points out that God had already empowered Moses with authority and wonders, yet in a moment of crisis, Moses hesitated. The sermon calls believers to recognize when God is urging them to act in faith rather than merely pray in fear. Ultimately, it challenges us to move forward in obedience to God's Word during our own crises.
Over the Mountains
By D.L. Moody0PSA 23:4PSA 46:1ISA 41:10MAT 11:28JHN 14:6ROM 10:132CO 12:9PHP 4:19HEB 4:161PE 5:7D.L. Moody shares a poignant story of a dying child who sees dark clouds and mountains, expressing a desire to be carried over them. The mother encourages the child to pray to Jesus, who alone can provide the comfort and strength needed in such moments. As they pray together, the child experiences a transformation, ultimately seeing Jesus come to carry him over the mountains. Moody emphasizes that, like the child, we all face mountains of sin and unbelief, but Jesus is ready and willing to help us overcome them. The sermon calls on sinners to give themselves to Jesus for salvation and support.
Ii Kings 7:1
By Chuck Smith02KI 7:1PSA 34:8ISA 41:10MAT 17:20ROM 10:172CO 5:7EPH 3:20PHP 4:19HEB 11:1JAS 1:6Chuck Smith discusses the siege of Samaria and the incredible promise from God to end the famine, emphasizing how the people's unbelief stemmed from their limited understanding of God and human logic. He illustrates the consequences of this unbelief, where the citizens remained trapped in their fears despite being free, while four lepers, desperate and willing to act, discovered God's provision. The lepers' decision to seek mercy led to their salvation and the eventual good news for the city, highlighting the importance of faith and taking action in the face of despair. Smith encourages believers to trust in God's promises and to step out in faith, as inactivity can lead to spiritual death.
