Sacrificing Some for the Sake of Others?  Click here Click title to view sermon Mark 13: 14–23
Summary: This world, whether we do it explicitly in a Temple or not, often sacrifices some for the sake of others. Whether we sacrifice a goat for our sins, or the rights of some to appease others, we sometimes believe that this is the only way to order ourselves.

Judgment Day for Juggers  Click here Click title to view sermon Mark 13: 24–37
Mark 13: 33–37 for LFM
Summary: 

Juggers, police say, are thieves who rob you while you’re shopping, withdrawing cash at an ATM or filling up your gas tank. Most of us would never consider being petty criminals like juggers. Yet Jesus suggests that unless we’re vigilant, we too might be jugging time and our responsibilities in the kingdom of God — especially if we think we can get away with it!

Waking and Watching  Click here Click title to view sermon Mark 13: 24–37
Mark 13: 33–37 for LFM
Summary: Jesus concludes his discourse to his disciples about the future with a brief parable and the lessons they are to draw from it. We are to be alert, knowing what is going on in the world and thinking God is there. We know something that those first disciples didn’t realize at the time: that God’s work of new creation has already begun with the cross and resurrection of Christ. Knowing that, we are to watch for the signs that God is completing that work.

You Just Never Know  Click here Click title to view sermon Mark 13: 24–37
Mark 13: 33–37 for LFM
Summary: For something as cosmic as the return of Jesus, you’d better be alert — but keep in mind that the biblical meaning of watchfulness is working for the kingdom. So remain watchful. Besides, if we’re not looking, we might even miss something as obvious as Christmas.

Faith for the Wee Hours  Click here Click title to view sermon Mark 13: 24–37
