Denomination: Catholic
The date of the end of the world cannot be known based on prophecy.
We are nearing the end of Ordinary Time as Advent draws near and so the theme this time of year is on the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the world. People are telling end of the world jokes like there is no tomorrow! E.g., A comedian spoke of a Pentecostal preacher who had predicted the end ...read more

Scripture: Mark 13:24-37
Topics: Second Coming, Biblical Prophecy, Spiritual Readiness, Eternal Life
In the previous sermon we talked about the signs of the end times. Some folks do not enjoy studying the signs of His coming.
Illus: Listen, when I go down the road and I see a sign that tells me there is a sharp curve up ahead or a steep hill, I find these signs helpful. But sometimes signs are confusing. Illus: Two preachers are standing by the side of the road, holding up a sign that reads, “The End is Near! Turn ...read more
Scripture: Mark 13:29-36
Denomination: Baptist
This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.
You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

Topics: Mystery, Timing
This sermon explores the mystery of Christ's return, emphasizing the importance of staying vigilant, recognizing the signs of the times, and living boldly in faith while sharing the gospel with others.
We all like to know what’s going on don’t we? And it’s difficult sometimes to admit that you don’t have the answers, or the insight, or the knowledge to apply to one situation or another. Maybe this is the motive behind our fascination with and endless speculation over the “end of days?” Maybe we ...read more
Topics: Christ's Return, Faithful Vigilance, Gospel Sharing
This is a sermon I used during advent but could be modified for any time of year... It's all about living with the Hope of the return of Jesus.
“Stay Awake: Living with Expectant Hope” Mark 13:24-37 Imagine it’s a dark and stormy night. Rain is pounding against your windows, and thunder rolls in the distance. You’ve just settled into a deep sleep when there’s a loud knock at the door. Startled you sit up, heart pounding, who could be ...read more

If we are not very careful, we could see today’s readings from God’s Word as panic-inducing warnings causing fear and hatred
Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2024 When I see the dread words about “a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time,” there comes to mind from my own family’s history several events that were so advertised before they happened. In fact, we just completed an election cycle that ...read more
Scripture: Mark 13:24-32, Hebrews 10:18, Hebrews 10:11-14, Daniel 12:1-3
We are called not to speculate on when the Second Coming will occur. We are called to keep our eye on the ball and preach the Gospel to all nations and not to be star gazing
SERMON: Mk 13:1-37 Advent is the time when we look forward to Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem. So is it not a little strange that the readings for the second Sunday before Advent, should be about Jesus’ second coming – a date in the future rather than to the events leading up his birth in ...read more

The church is an organization that will have a similar life cycle as any living person. Is it possible that some churches need to die so new church's are born? Is your church fulfilling the spiritual needs of its membership.
The New Church Mark 13:28-32 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 “Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at ...read more
