In this sermon we continue our exposition of the Olivet Discourse. We take time to consider the phrases \"abomination of desolation\" and \"great tribulation.\" When understanding Jewish idioms and historical events, these terms are demystified. This passage demonstrates the faithfulness of Jesus and the greatness of God\'s vengeance.

In this second sermon on the Olivet Discourse in Luke 21, we\'re reminded of the suffering the apostles faced between the time of Jesus and the temple\'s destruction. Jesus\' instruction to prepare them for suffering remains paradigmatic for disciples of Christ today.

This sermon begins an examination of the \"Olivet Discourse\" in the gospel of Luke where Jesus speaks about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. This is an important text that requires humility and careful consideration of the context. There are rich treasures in this passage for the church today.

This sermon considers the end of Jesus\' interactions with the scribes. In this interaction Jesus reveals his own identity in Psalm 110 while exposing the true identity of the scribes who are corrupt and wicked. Important lessons about how we regard Jesus and, most importantly, how Jesus regards us, are ones we should constantly remember.

This sermon considers the Sadducees\' questioning of the resurrection in an attempt to make Jesus look foolish. Of course their plan is foiled and Jesus masterfully demonstrates the reality of the resurrection. But this is more than just a defense of the resurrection. This is a reminder that not all will attain this eternal life. Jesus is not just wise, he is the way to glory.

This sermon considers Jesus\' famous saying, \"Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar\'s, and to God the things that are God\'s.\" This pithy statement demonstrates the great wisdom of Christ and gives us insight into the disciple\'s responsibility to the state and to God.

ALL are servants of the MASTER! Join us in Matthew 25:14-30 to see God\'s design for HIS servants. Not all servants are the same, see how the scripture clearly portrays the rewards and consequences of servants based on their stewardship of God\'s property. What kind of servant or steward will you be?

In this sermon we consider Jesus\' parable of the tenants. This allegory is a history of Israel and their rejection of Christ, God\'s beloved Son. It demonstrates the absurdity of rejecting Jesus and calls us to see God as gracious, faithful, patient, and just. The modern church must learn from ancient Israel and most importantly, see and embrace Christ as heir of all things.

In this sermon we follow the narrative of Jesus ministry when he comes back into Jewish territory and is confronted by two women who need a miracle. The first woman is older and has suffered physically and spiritually for twelve years with an issue of blood, the second is a twelve year old girl who dies, both women need life from Jesus. As we dig into this passage we will learn about the potency of resurrection life and a glorious truth about New Covenant reality

In this sermon we consider the first attempt by the religious leaders to discredit Jesus as he teaches in the temple. They question Jesus\' authority only to be forced into silence because of their cowardice. We learn in this passage, not only the authority of Jesus, but how not to be like those religious leaders who were blind guides and missed the Lord of life.
