⚠️ "Jesus Cursed It..." Why Religious "Leaves" Are Not Enough (Matthew 21) | Philip Anthony Mitchell

⚠️ "Jesus Cursed It..." Why Religious "Leaves" Are Not Enough (Matthew 21) | Philip Anthony Mitchell "And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, 'Let no fruit grow on you ever again.'" - Matthew 21:19 Why did Jesus curse a tree? It wasn't just because He was hungry. It was a prophetic sign against **Hypocrisy**. In this piercing message, *"ENTRY & END TIMES,"* *Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell* unpacks the story of the Fig Tree in Matthew 21. The tree had leaves, which advertised that it had fruit. But when Jesus got close, it was empty. In these End Times, God is inspecting His church. He is not looking for the "leaves" of religious performance, worship songs, or perfect attendance. He is looking for the fruit of the Spirit and faith that moves mountains. *In this sermon, you will explore:* *The Deception:* Why having the "look" of a Christian without the power is dangerous. *The Inspection:* God doesn't judge from a distance; He comes close to check your branches. *The Judgment:* The connection between the Triumphal Entry and the cleansing of the Temple. *The Faith:* How to transition from a "withered" life to a life of mountain-moving faith (v. 21). Don't be a tree with just leaves. *2819 Church:* [Insert Official Link] #PhilipAnthonyMitchell #2819Church #Matthew21 #FigTree #EndTimes #Hypocrisy #Fruitfulness #Faith #Sermon2026 #Christianity #BibleStudy #Warning
