When Faith Has Leaves But No Fruit

from CrossTalk at the Kroc · host The Salvation Army of Augusta, GA

In this Holy Week devotional for Monday, we unpack one of the most surprising moments in the Gospels: Jesus cursing the fig tree. What looks strange at first is actually a powerful warning about spiritual hypocrisy—faith that has the appearance of life but produces no fruit. This episode invites us to examine whether we’re simply busy with religion or truly being transformed by abiding in Christ. As Holy Week continues, we’re challenged to ask God for honest hearts and to let Him grow real spiritual fruit in us.
