There are 4 ways to interpret Mark 13. It could mean:
1) The destruction of the temple ~70 AD
2) End times
3) Final judgment
4) Jesus' death & resurrection
Big Idea: May the people of God be faithful when structures we trust fail and fall.
Jesus is in ultimate control. (v. 1-4)
Opposition is not a sign of failure; God remains sovereign. (v. 5-23)
The crucified Christ is over all things and coming back (v. 24-27)
Be on guard and stay awake; this is a posture command. (v 28-37)
Be faithful!
