The Root and the Fruit (Mark 11:12—26)

In Mark 11, we read that Jesus found a fig tree that didn’t produce any fruit. This represented Israel not turning to the Lord. As Pastor Wiersbe examines this passage, he points out four facts that apply to us as individuals and to the church collectively.

This message was preached on April 11, 1976, at the Moody Church in Chicago, IL, when Dr. Wiersbe served as the Senior Pastor.

Scripture Reference: Mark 11:12—26
