End Times 101 - Desolation - Week 2

“Desolation”

Matthew 24:4-14

This morning we are continuing our sermon series on the end times, and let’s admit it - this is some pretty heavy stuff. All the talk about earthquakes, and false prophets, and the Antichrist is enough to make us cringe in fear and run for cover. But from the beginning, believers did not see the second coming of Jesus as something to fear or dread. They saw it as something that brings hope … something to celebrate. As we continue through Matthew 24, the disciples have asked Jesus for the signs of the end of the age. As we study these signs this morning and understand what Jesus is saying, let us respond by embracing hope, not despair.
