Endurance in Afflictions: 26th Sunday after Pentecost
Pastor Andrew preaches this week’s takeaway: "The one who endures to the end will be saved" (Mark 13:13b). This verse has always unsettled me, especially as it is preceded by "You
will be hated by all for my name's sake" (Mark 13:13a). It is not the lightheartedsunshine and flowers Christianity that many proclaim. Jesus is telling us that the lives of His people are very serious affairs. That we will be subject to great and terrible afflictions, both external and internal. Endurance is the name of the game...enduring to the end IN FAITH. That view of our lives would focus us to one priority: Receiving Jesus' gifts to sustain us in faith to the end.
