Signs of the Present Age

This powerful message takes us deep into Luke 21:5-11, where we encounter Jesus preparing His disciples for the reality of the last days. The disciples were mesmerized by the magnificent temple, its beauty and grandeur, but Jesus redirected their focus to something far more important: spiritual readiness for what's to come. We learn that while the world around us may seem impressive and permanent, everything earthly will eventually pass away. The sermon challenges us to examine where we place our security and hope. Are we building our lives on temporary things like possessions, status, or material wealth, or are we anchored in the eternal promises of God? The message reminds us that we're living in times marked by wars, conflicts, false teachers, and tribulations, but these signs shouldn't terrify us. Instead, they should drive us closer to God. The beautiful truth woven throughout is that God's Word never passes away, even when heaven and earth do. We're called to live each day as if Christ could return at any moment, not in fear, but in faithful preparation. This means trusting God's provision, standing firm on His promises, and refusing to let our hearts be troubled by the chaos around us. The call is clear: stop worrying about tomorrow, cast your cares on Him, and know that if we seek first His kingdom, everything we need will be provided.
