Message Questions:
- Are any of you gardeners or farmers? What’s the secret(s) to a successful crop?
- Fig trees are designed to bear figs. What are you designed to do? Is there any “fruit” that’s growing that reveals your design?
- “I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.” How has the LORD Jesus been breaking up the hard ground in your life recently?
- What does the word repent mean? What does it look like when a person repents? Can you recall a time in your life you repented? Tell that story.
- Is there something in your life today of which you need to repent?
- Read Isaiah 5:1-7 (read to 25 if you’ve got stamina). What is similar about this story and Jesus’ story about the fig tree? What is different?
