Matthew 24:1-14

4 ways to be distracted

False answers to real questions – I want a quick fix

Fear over faith

Politics over religion

Social solutions over spiritual solutions

4. Jesus wants you to understand his promise of salvation (24:9-14)

Salvation from:

Though he slay me, I will hope in him – Job 13:15

Salvation to:

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?

Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. – Psalm 43:5

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

Romans 12:12-13

1. I will practice rejoicing
2. I will learn to settle down
3. I will turn my fears over to God
4. I will approach people who need my help
5. I will look for community

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 15:13
