Sharon Doran studies Mark chapter 13 (the Olivet Discourse), tracing Jesus’ final teachings from the triumphal entry through Bethany and Bethphage, the raising of Lazarus, the cursed fig tree, and the corruption of the temple leadership.

She explains how these events lead into Jesus’ prophecy of the temple’s destruction and the signs of suffering — false messiahs, wars, earthquakes, and famines — calling listeners to watchfulness and faith.
