The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree explores the intertwined themes of grace, mercy, and judgment. In the original parable it is quite likely that the vinedresser represents Jesus—the one fighting for delayed judgment on the barren fig tree. So why does the teacher in this video (who likely represents Jesus) assume some of the guilt? Like many of Jesus’ parables, we don’t know how this one ends. The fig tree gets one more year, but we don’t know what happened to the tree once the year was up—just as we don’t know what the student in this video is going to decide.

Luke 13:6-9
6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ 8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

What is a web license?

We've added a Web License upgrade on select products to give you more freedom in how you share the video with your congregation, and this video qualifies. The web license includes our standard license (public performance in a single setting), as well as a couple of additional features:

The Web License allows you to:

  • Post the video on your website (using a native player)
  • Include the video in a live stream of your service online
  • Include the video in a recording of your service online

The Web License DOES NOT allow you to:

  • Upload the video to youtube or other video sharing sites UNLESS posted in the context of a service
  • Broadcast the video on television or any other medium

* While this license makes the content available for you to use in these ways, we cannot guarantee that social sharing sites like Facebook and YouTube will not flag or block this content unintentionally. We encourage testing to ensure these possible issues don't arise as you stream or share your service online.

What format is best for me?

MPG - Best for broad compatibility and legacy systems. Works well on older Windows PCs, DVD players, and a wide range of media software. Slightly larger file size than MP4, but reliable and easy to play almost anywhere.

MOV – Best for Mac users or those using presentation software that prefer QuickTime files. Offers excellent quality and smooth playback on Apple devices.

MP4 – Best for most users. Works across Windows, Mac, and most presentation software. Delivers high-quality video with a smaller file size.
