The big idea: because Jesus is King, genuine faith must produce the fruit of obedience.\nStarting with Jesus cursing the barren fig tree — a symbol of Israel's outward religion with no inward fruit — Pastor Karl walks through the chronology of that Passion Week Tuesday, tracing Old Testament roots in Leviticus 26's blessings and curses. From there he unpacks the religious leaders' challenge to Jesus's authority, the Parable of the Two Sons (obedience over empty profession), and the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, where Jesus becomes the rejected cornerstone.\nThe application lands close to home: faith isn't the fruit — faith produces fruit. Are you relying on looking religious instead of living in repentance? A sobering call to let genuine faith show.\n\nJoin us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.\n37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636\nFor more visit us at flipside.church\nFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-15b91ZN5YSTvcMaBg88Un0tBNj8bvuxIlVEwGcwztE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzYxMDAvMTU4Mzc4/MjMzNy1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
