About this episode

Pastor Mark explores the implications of Jesus' teachings in Matthew 12:33-50 regarding words, signs, and true belonging to Christ.

In today's passage, Jesus exposes the heart behind our words, rebukes the demand for signs, warns of the danger of spiritual emptiness, and redefines His true family. Pastor Mark invites you to explore with him why we know that fruit reveals the root, why the resurrection is the ultimate sign, and what it really means to belong to Christ.
