Sermon: The Parable of the Fig Tree
Series: The Parables of Jesus
Scripture: Luke 13:6-9
Teacher: Rev. Ken Stewart
In this sermon, Rev. Ken Stewart delves into the often-overlooked but crucial aspect of waiting, inspired by the Parable of the Fig Tree from Luke 13:6-9.
Waiting is an art that can be difficult to master in our fast-paced world. We live in an age of instant gratification, where waiting seems like a lost art. Rev. Ken takes a deeper dive into the compassionate vinedresser who intercedes on its behalf. He explores the three essential components of life change: truth, love, and time. Just as the vinedresser waited for the fig tree to bear fruit, God patiently works to transform our lives.
He explores practical tips for embracing the art of waiting and discusses the importance of applying the golden rule, recognizing God's goodness, and understanding that waiting is "UNTO" something. Sometimes, in our pursuit of change, we need to set boundaries and move forward when necessary. We're reminded that waiting is inevitable, but it can lead to greater transformations than we could ever imagine.
