Matthew 24 is one of the most difficult chapters in the entire New Testament. Theologians call it the "Little Apocalypse," because it's essentially a snapshot of the expanded version: the Book of Revelation. In Matthew 24, Jesus talks about darkened moons and earthquakes and falling stars... and most modern readers are left scratching their heads. What in the world does it all mean? And why should we care? Dr. Gerry Breshears visits Park Hill Church to help us unpack this important message from Jesus. As it turns out, this message is precisely the hope our world is desperately longing for.

This is the most gut-wrenching chapter in Matthew's Gospel. Jesus has choice words for Israel's corrupt leaders who do not practice what they preach. Hypocrisy is the opposite of integrity. Hypocrisy deforms humanity and keeps humans from experiencing true flourishing as the Creator intends. This is why Jesus acts the way he does in Matthew 23 toward his hypocritical contemporaries. He longs for them to experience the freedom of life in God - a life full of openness and vulnerability and authenticity and love. This is what he wants for us.

Whatever we think the Scriptures are, Jesus gets the final word.
