The End Times: Part I

Luke 21:5-38

1. Favorite signs of Spring!
1. Minnesota: Turning the black soil.

2. Is this near or far future?
3. Question that starts the discussion: The Temple.
1. Luke 21:5-6: it will be torn down.
2. Do not be mislead!
4. There will be wars and rumors of wars. Luke 21:10-19
1. Difficult times: All times/Many times? When?
2. Luke 21:20-24 - particularly tough on Jerusalem.
5. The return of Christ (Luke 21:25-28)
1. Suddenly a shift? When Lord, when?
2. Matthew 24:36, Mark 13:32, The final day and hour no one knows (also Acts 1:7)
6. Final Warnings:
1. Luke 21:29-33 - the fig tree. What does this mean?
2. Luke 21:34-36 - Jesus’ primary point: Endure, be ready, and be prepared.

The Only One who needs to worry about the end times is the one not ready, not prepared, but weighed down by life.
