A Three Fold Warning
Luke 21:5-38
They admired the temple for is architectural grandeur, and its expensive decorations.
In the midst of all these tumultuous end times events Jesus specifically warns the believer about three very real dangers.
First he warns, DON’T BE DECEIVED
Dispute: The first thing that Satan did in tempting Eve was to dispute the Word of God.
Deny: The next thing Satan does is contradict the word of God.
Displace: God’s Word. May I suggest to you that Satan telling Eve that because she will be as God is she can decide for herself what is good and what is evil.
Secondly he warns, DO NOT BE AFRAID.
It is a mistake to take these separate happenings as infallible indications that the end of the age is immediately in sight.
People need not be caught unprepared. God warns and provides an escape to those who will heed the rumblings.
Rather than being blown away by persecution (whether it is religious, secular or domestic) we are to persevere, to endure, to stand firm.
Third, He warns, DO NOT BE DISTRACTED
His message is that people across the world in that day were caught up in doing the ordinary things.

Sermon Audio: The End Of Times? Fear? Hopefulness!

Luke-The Investigative Gospel
The End Of Times? Fear? Hopefulness!
Luke 21:5-19
Listen, the world is falling apart, and the church can’t do a thing about it.
Fear about the end of time, or gladness that we who believe will be with Christ at the end of time.
The world may be falling apart around you, but having faith in Jesus will save you.
As we live out our days and await eternity – whenever It may come – why not spend every day trying to experience in some way the joy of living, no matter how many days we may have to live?
A pickle jar was and is a symbol of hope in their world.
Where is your pickle jar?
