The Desolation

Watch the news for any length of time and you’ll get the sense that we live in a world of chaos and deception. From global crises to everyday distractions, we are challenged to discern truth and find peace. So, we must strive to hear Jesus’ words in Mark 13:14–23 as a reminder that He knows all the trials and fears we face and has provided guidance and hope for His people.

As He says in this passage:

"For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand." (Mark 13:22–23)

In this sermon, we will consider Jesus’ warning about a specific event, which already happened, but is still a message for us in the not yet.
