The sermon focuses on two symbolic acts of Jesus — the cleansing of the temple and the cursing of the fig tree — both illustrating His judgment against religious hypocrisy and fruitless worship. Jesus overturns the tables in the temple, condemning how religious leaders have turned a house of prayer into a marketplace, blocking Gentiles from worship. He also curses a leafy fig tree with no fruit, using it as a visual parable of spiritual barrenness — outwardly religious but inwardly empty. The sermon challenges listeners to examine their own hearts for hypocrisy, urging sincere faith that bears real fruit, and reminds them that Jesus, the Savior King, hung on a tree to bear our sin and open the way to God.
