This visual from the life of Jesus will help us understand the purpose of being planted in his kingdom. In this text, Jesus curses the fig tree for one reason; it was not bearing the fruit it was designed to bear. With references to Galatians 5 and the fruit of the Spirit and other passages, we will teach about bearing fruit in God’s kingdom. Like the fig tree, we are no good unless we bear the fruit of Jesus that his Spirit is growing in us.
