Mark 11

In Mark 11 Jesus' triumphal entry takes place.  Jesus had told the disciples to tell anyone who asked why they were untying the colt to sat, "The Lord has need of it...".  What was interesting is that the people then let them go?  Who did they think it was when the disciples said "The Lord"? When Jesus entered the town on the colt people laid their cloaks and leafy branches on the road.  When in Jerusalem Jesus entered to the temple to see it being used as a marketplace.  He overturned the tables and drove out the people.  I believe that is a fair warning on how a church should conduct its self.  You cant sell salvation or sell Jesus to the people.  There was a fig tree that Jesus went to for food and there were no figs.  Jesus cursed the tree that it would never bear fruit gain.  Later the next day when they went past the tree it was withered all the way to the roots.  This was Jesus' lesson on having faith and the power of prayer to the Father.
