This message on Luke 21:20-28 where Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem is inspired by the words of Jeremiah where he prophesizes to the people about the coming destruction they are about to face because they are not listening to God.

In today's text Jesus is revealing to His disciples and the other people that are listening that they need to be stones of faith not impressed by the stones of a religious or political system.

This is the first part of our series You turn to Joy that looks deeper into the parables and teachings of Jesus in Luke 15. Luke speaks of 4 groups of lost people, the sinners, the tax collectors, the Pharisees and the scribes. Everyone might have thought that some of those groups like the Pharisees and the scribes are those near to God and some of the other groups may be far from God. But it was the sinners and the tax collectors that were drawing near to Jesus and listening to His message.

Jesus, though completely innocent, is falsely accused and condemned by religious leaders and political authorities seeking to protect their own interests. In this message we explore how Jesus responded to injustice with silent strength, trusting God's justice rather than seeking man's approval.

This message examines Peter’s denial of Jesus and the dangers of following Jesus from a distance. It challenges believers to assess whether they are truly "with Him" or merely acknowledging Him when convenient.

This message explores the theme of betrayal, both in the life of Jesus and in our own lives.

Jesus commands his disciples to pray so they do not fall into temptation and sets the example by praying in deep agony before his crucifixion. He teaches that prayer is not about changing God's will, but aligning ourselves with it. Prayer strengthens us in trials, keeps us from distraction, and leads us to surrender to God’s perfect plan.

This message emphasizes that trials are an inevitable part of the Christian life, but through Christ, we can triumph over them. By placing our confidence in Christ rather than ourselves, we find peace, endurance, and purpose in our suffering.

The world defines greatness through power, status, and personal achievement, but Jesus flips this concept by demonstrating that true greatness is found in servanthood and humility.
