Fresh Love Series - Part 41 • Luke 13:6-17 • Pastor Rick Brown at Dayspring Church in Star, Idaho

Are you feeling spiritually stagnant? Pastor Rick unpacks Luke 13 in which Jesus imparts a powerful metaphor about potential and growth through a fig tree that isn't producing fruit. The vineyard owner wants to cut it down, but the gardener asks for one more chance—a perfect picture of God's patient, transformative love.

Jesus demonstrates that spiritual growth requires intentional care and a willingness to change. Just as the gardener doesn't abandon the struggling tree, God provides opportunities for us to develop and bear meaningful fruit, even when we feel unproductive or stuck. The message is clear: with divine nurturing, we can always grow something greater. Jesus challenged religious restrictions by healing on the Sabbath, but in actuality he brought true rest to the woman who had lived hunched over for eighteen years. Whether we feel unproductive like the fig tree or weighed down like the bent woman, God's transformative power offers hope, healing, and the potential to grow something far greater than we imagine.
