"The Purpose in the Pruning" - A Severe Love, Part 3 (Lent 3)

For the season of Lent our series explores the joyful  challenge of following Jesus. This Sunday we continued with a powerful story called the parable of the fig tree in Luke 13:1-9. What does it mean to repent, and why does Jesus teach and tell stories about it? How do the warnings in these verses connect to a God of love and grace? Bottom line: God prunes sin from us to produce fruit in us.
