This morning we are jumping into the 21st chapter in the Gospel of Matthew. We will be skipping over to verse 18, as we have already unpacked the text relating to the Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday.

In our text we are going to see one of those rare moments that Jesus curses something. The object of His curse is of all things, a fig tree.

We will then look at some Scripture that has been widely misinterpreted:

 21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” (Matthew 21:21-22)

We will then see the religious leaders questioning Jesus's authority, and then we will unpack two parables.
