Daily Dose of Hope September 19, 2025 Scripture - Luke 21 Prayer: Holy God, We rejoice and give praise for the ways you care for us. We rejoice and give praise for how you continue to forgive us and give us second and third chances. Help us seek lives characterized by your holiness. Help us seek pure hearts. Lord, in these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers and help us bring together all our scattered thoughts and focus on you...It's in your name we pray, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan from New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are deep diving into Luke 21. Jesus' time on earth is coming to a conclusion. We are getting very close to Passion week. And we can see Jesus' language and discussion getting more pressing. There is an urgency to what he has to say. At the end of chapter 20, Jesus speaks of how the Pharisees and scribes (and really the whole religious system) are devouring widows' houses. They require much of the poor but they give little to help them. This leads into the beginning of chapter 21, in which Jesus points out the sacrificial offering of the widow. He speaks of how so many of the people who are part of the religious system give gifts out of their wealth; but the widow gives all she has despite her desperate poverty. He recognizes her faithful obedience and holds her up as an example. Just FYI, this probably really angered the Pharisees. We go from the Temple offering to the prophecy of the destruction of the Temple and the end times. One of the disciples comments on the grandeur of the Temple. Jesus then tells them that the whole Temple will eventually be destroyed. Every stone will be turned. Keep in mind that for the Jews, this is where God's presence resided. This is a holy place. But the Pharisees and the current system have allowed the Temple to be corrupted. They have disobeyed God's ways. And Jesus predicts that it will be destroyed. What we know is that the Temple was destroyed by Rome just 37 years later. This would be an ugly season in Jerusalem's history, with lots of persecution and oppression. Is this what Jesus is referring to in nation rising against nation, famines, earthquakes, and so forth? Scholars don't all agree but I think it's safe to say yes and no. Yes, the Roman armies destroying Jerusalem in AD 70 was pretty horrific. Much of the population was starved and/or eventually massacred. But there is more to this. This is more than just a “in the near future” scenario. It's also likely that Jesus is referring to the end of times and when he will return to judge all people. If you recall, in the Matthew version of this text, we actually have images of Jesus returning on the clouds with the loud trumpet call; this echoes prophecy in Daniel. And up until this point, Jesus has alluded to this. He never tells people to be scared or worried, just to be ready and be watchful. As believers, we have nothing to fear. We belong to Jesus. Just be ready. But there is still an urgency to this – how seriously do we take this? Are we busy doing God's business, which includes leading people to Jesus? Is sharing the story of Jesus a regular part of who we are as believers? If not, why? Do you believe that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead? These are serious questions that every single one of us has to reckon with. One other thing to mention: At this point, the disciples still don't understand that God's presence now dwells in the person of Jesus Christ. From their perspective, the Temple still holds the presence of God. But the Good News of Jesus is that God's presence is no longer in a building but in Jesus. God is Jesus and Jesus is God. If that isn't enough to blow your mind, consider that the presence of God is now also in the person of the Holy Spirit. Where does the Holy Spirit dwell? Well, in us as believers! So that means that the presence of God is in Jesus' church, his people. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Welcome, Friends of Charlie Kirk—and a New Generation Seeking God In this special episode of Luke21, Steve Wood reflects on the cultural and spiritual shockwaves following the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. What some saw as an attempt to sever a generation from God has instead ignited a movement—a modern “Great Awakening” among young people who are hungry for truth, returning to church, and opening the Bible in record numbers. Rather than focusing solely on the political ramifications, Steve emphasizes the deeper cultural and spiritual awakening that is unfolding, as young people begin to recognize the significance of Kirk's sacrifice in their relationship with God. He discusses the notion that this event may serve as a catalyst, igniting a flood of faith and a return to spiritual roots amidst a world increasingly seeking to sever ties with the divine.

Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, andkingdom against kingdom.21:11. And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places andpestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall begreat signs.21:12. But before all these things, they will lay their hands on youand persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and intoprisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.21:13. And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.21:14. Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before howyou shall answer:21:15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all youradversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.21:16. And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren andkinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death.21:17. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake.”“21:18.

The world can feel chaotic, and the topic of the "end times" can be daunting. But what did Jesus really say about it? In this message, Pastor Chris Rieber explores the profound and practical wisdom of Luke 21:5-38. He shows us how Jesus' prophecy, while speaking of future trials, ultimately points to a present hope. This sermon isn't about predicting dates or instilling fear. It's a call to readiness and a reminder of a powerful truth: that even in the midst of uncertainty, we are never alone and the ultimate victory is already secured in Jesus.
The Gospel of Luke
In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood unpacks Revelation 10, the interlude between the sixth and seventh trumpets. As a mighty angel descends with one foot on the sea and the other on land, Scripture reminds us that God's sovereignty extends over all creation—even during tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist. Steve also explores the command for St. John to “eat the scroll” before prophesying, showing why true prophecy requires internalizing God's word. Drawing from Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Pope Benedict XVI, he warns against shallow substitutes for authentic preaching and emphasizes the urgent need for prophetic voices today—in families, parishes, and youth groups.

18 Job 19-21; 19 Psalms 130-134; 42 Luke 21
We've all seen grand gestures, but what about the small ones that go unnoticed? In Luke 21, Jesus watches as the wealthy fill the temple treasury with their offerings. Then, a poor widow steps forward and gives two tiny coins. It’s a moment that could have been easily missed, but Jesus sees it all. This episode goes beyond the coins and into the heart of the woman herself. What compelled her to give everything she had? Join us as we uncover her deep trust in God's provision, her unwavering desire to be a part of His work, and the profound truth that genuine generosity is measured not by our abundance, but by the will to give from our very core.
Job 19-21; Psalms 132-135; Luke 21
Jesus spoke about the destruction of Jerusalem, which took place in 70 A.D. Jesus also spoke about the end of all things and how God the father would use and rescue Jesus' followers. These are words to help and comfort us today.Copyright, Dave Andrus 2025
In this episode of Luke21, host Steve Wood unpacks Revelation 9 and the fifth trumpet judgment, where the abyss is opened and a wave of demonic darkness covers the world. Drawing from Genesis 6, 2 Peter, Jude, and the Catechism, Steve shows how fallen angels, ancient deception, and apocalyptic imagery reveal a return of spiritual darkness before Christ's final triumph.

Lift Up Your Heads, Your Redemption Is NearLuke 21:5-38The Village Chapel - 08/24/2025The Olivet Discourse in Luke's gospel (and its synoptic counterparts) is one of the most debated texts in the history of biblical scholarship….. We cannot know with certainty what Jesus himself did not choose to fully reveal — the timing of his return. But Jesus gave his disciples reasons to be encouraged amidst warnings of earthly catastrophe, divine wrath, and the persecution that would come with following him. This encouragement is worth applying to our own discipleship as we await our Lord's promised return.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Pastor Rodney's message focused on the truth that Jesus is Lord over our time, talents, and treasure, and that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Money serves as a test of our allegiance, a tool for God's purposes, and a testimony of our trust in Him—revealing where our priorities and faith truly lie. As stewards of what God has entrusted to us, we're called to tithe, live with contentment, invest wisely in His kingdom, and surrender our finances to reflect His ownership over our lives.

Where Duty Meets DelightLuke 21:1-4The Village Chapel - 08/17/2025We live in a world that values more of everything-bigger, better, faster, stronger, richer, all of which capture our attention. But while the economy of the world is all about getting, the economy of heaven is all about giving… for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.Join us this week as we study Luke 21, verses 1 through 4. We'll examine the story of a poor widow's tiny yet extravagant offering, which turns out to be the most famous donation ever made by a human. We'll discover how God measures worth in a way that turns the world's values upside down, where the condition of our hearts is more important than the size of our bank accounts; where proportion is more significant than portion size; and where giving sacrificially moves from duty to delight.To find more resources like these, follow us:Website: https://thevillagechapel.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVTzDbaiXVUAm_mUBDCTJAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvcnashville/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tvcnashvilleX: https://twitter.com/tvcnashvilleTo support the ongoing mission of The Village Chapel go to https://thevillagechapel.com/give/.

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction.
