Podcasts about Mark 13

Hai Wonder Kids, kembali dalam renungan anak GKY Mangga Besar. Judul renungan hari ini adalah Yesus dan “Secret Mark”Diambil dari: Yohanes 14:1  “Janganlah gelisah hatimu; percayalah kepada Allah, percayalah juga kepada-Ku.”Wonder Kids, kadang-kadang ada orang yang berkata, “Mungkin ada kitab rahasia tentang Yesus yang menunjukkan bahwa Yesus sebenarnya tidak seperti yang diajarkan Alkitab.” Salah satu hal yang pernah dibicarakan orang adalah tulisan yang disebut “Secret Mark.” Ada yang menganggap tulisan ini sangat penting, bahkan lebih benar daripada Injil Markus yang ada di Alkitab.Tetapi setelah diteliti, ternyata tidak ada bukti kuat bahwa tulisan itu sungguh asli dan bisa dipercaya. Bahkan banyak ahli justru meragukannya. Jadi, kita tidak punya alasan yang kuat untuk percaya bahwa ada “rahasia besar” tentang Yesus yang tersembunyi lalu baru ditemukan belakangan.Nah, ini penting, Wonder Kids. Kadang-kadang sesuatu yang terdengar misterius atau rahasia memang bisa membuat orang penasaran. Tetapi tidak semua yang terdengar heboh itu benar. Tuhan tidak membangun iman kita di atas gosip, cerita aneh, atau dokumen yang tidak jelas. Tuhan memberi kita firman-Nya yang kokoh dan dapat dipercaya.Yang kita tahu dengan jelas adalah ini: ada banyak bukti yang kuat bahwa Injil-injil dalam Alkitab dapat dipercaya. Di sanalah kita belajar bahwa Yesus sungguh hidup, sungguh mati di kayu salib untuk dosa kita, dan sungguh bangkit. Jadi kita tidak perlu gelisah saat ada orang membawa cerita-cerita aneh tentang Yesus. Kita bisa tetap tenang dan berpegang pada firman Tuhan.Firman Tuhan dalam Yohanes 14:1 berkata, “Janganlah gelisah hatimu.” Mengapa? Karena Yesus sendiri meminta kita percaya kepada-Nya. Saat dunia penuh suara yang membingungkan, kita tidak perlu panik. Kita tetap bisa berkata, “Aku mau percaya kepada Yesus yang dinyatakan dalam firman Tuhan.”Wonder Kids, hari ini lakukan ini: Kalau kamu mendengar hal yang membuatmu bingung tentang Tuhan atau Alkitab, jangan langsung takut. Katakan kepada orang dewasa yang bisa membimbingmu, lalu berdoalah, “Tuhan, tolong aku tetap berpegang pada firman-Mu.”Mari kita berdoa: Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena firman-Mu benar dan dapat dipercaya. Tolong aku supaya tidak mudah bingung oleh hal-hal yang aneh atau menakutkan, tetapi tetap percaya kepada-Mu dengan hati yang tenang. Dalam nama Tuhan Yesus aku berdoa, Amin.Wonder Kids, ingatlah: kamu tidak perlu takut pada cerita yang membingungkan, karena firman Tuhan tetap kokoh dan Yesus tetap dapat dipercaya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.

Ready for the Return – Mark 13:1-37 by Redemption Church

If you've ever wanted God to just tell you his plan— give you the timeline, the clarity, the step-by-step guide — then Mark chapter 13 is going to both challenge you and, I think, ultimately free you. This is one of the most debated, over-interpreted chapters in all of the Gospels. Jesus launches into this long teaching about the destruction of the temple, persecution, false messiahs, and signs in the sky. It has sent a lot of people down a very deep rabbit hole of end-times speculation. And I want us to resist that today, because I think when we do, we find something so much more useful for our actual lives. Jesus wraps this entire chapter together with a story. A man goes on a long trip, leaves his servants with instructions, and tells the gatekeeper to keep watch — because no one knows when the master is coming home. That's it. The actual takeaway in this passage is not certainty about exactly what's going to happen. It's not full clarity about what the end times mean, what all these things are going to mean. Jesus is asking us to be attentive. He's telling us what He actually needs from us: keep watch. Stay in your instructions. Don't fall asleep. We also talk about what it would have felt like for the disciples to hear Jesus say the temple was going to be destroyed — a building so massive that a single stone could weigh 600 tons, so blinding white and gold that it looked like a snowstorm in the distance. It would have been like someone walking through New York City in July of 2001 and saying, "Those towers are coming down in three months." Unthinkable. And yet it happened — in AD 70, exactly as Jesus said. And here's what I find genuinely remarkable: the persecution Jesus warned His disciples about? It came true for every single one of them. He said, when you are arrested — not if. And yet not one of them walked away. That kind of faithfulness under that kind of pressure? It is one of the most compelling arguments for the reality of the resurrection that I know. So what does this mean for you today? Not when is Jesus coming back — but where is He asking you to keep watch right now? What instructions has He already given you that you haven't fully acted on yet? That's the question this chapter is really asking. Want More?

Pastor Tim continues our series through the gospel of Mark by unpacking chapter 13. 

Exodus 23-24; 19 Psalms 79; 41 Mark 13

Send us Fan MailIn a world of chaos and uncertainty, could Christ's return be the ultimate source of hope and justice?This powerful episode unpacks Mark 13:26-27, where Jesus describes the Son of Man arriving in clouds with great glory and power, sending angels to gather His elect from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. The teaching draws striking parallels to Christ's humble first coming, announced by angels, marked by heavenly signs, and in a real human body, while contrasting it with His triumphant return as the conquering King, no longer in weakness but arrayed in divine splendor and authority. It offers deep encouragement for believers to endure trials with eyes fixed on the horizon, prepare for eternity through faith in Christ, and eagerly share this blessed hope, while soberly warning that God's perfect judgment awaits those who reject Him. A stirring call to live with urgency, longing, and bold proclamation: "Come, Lord Jesus!"

Preached by Everett Berry

We will finish up Mark chapter 13 with verses 30-37. What stands out in this passage is the fact of the abiding Word of God. Jesus said, the heavens and the earth will pass away but, He said, ‘My words will not pass away.' God's Word will endure for all eternity. Ps.119 says, “Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”Our Lord gives everyone a command to Be alert. As Dr. Mitchell says, The coming of the Lord is certain but the time of His coming is uncertain.The need to be on the alert is emphasized by the Lord to His disciples by means of parable. This parable pictures a man going away and the servants of his house and the door keeper are to be watching for his return.Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 13:30.This is the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In this episode, we explore Mark 13:14–23, where Jesus warns of a coming time of great tribulation and the destruction of Jerusalem. He urges his followers to act with urgency, remain discerning in the face of deception, and trust in God's sovereign care even in difficult circumstances. This passage reminds us to hold loosely to earthly things, stay spiritually alert, and remain faithful to Christ in times of uncertainty.

We now pick up from where we left off in our last lesson. We are in Mark 13:24-30.Dr. Mitchell will be examining the words of our Lord Jesus who describes His coming again back to the earth from heaven in power and great glory.Dr. Mitchell compares and contrasts Jesus' first coming with His second coming. He states you can either meet the Lord as your savior or you will meet Him as your judge. Have you met the Lord Jesus Christ yet? Just come and talk to Him and let Him know you would like to meet Him personally. He will meet you where you are just as you are.There is a difference between the times of the Gentiles and the fullness of the Gentiles.Our teacher, Dr. Mitchell, explains more in Mark 13:24 on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In this episode, we walk through Mark 13:1–13, where Jesus warns about the destruction of the temple, coming deception, and the difficulties believers will face. Rather than giving a timeline, Jesus calls his followers to discernment, endurance, and faithfulness in a troubled world. We are reminded not to be alarmed by world events, but to trust God's plan, rely on the Holy Spirit, and remain steadfast in the gospel as it goes to all nations.

In Mark 13 we look at verses 24-26.In these 3 verses, Jesus speaks of the time after the tribulation. Here He describes the disruption of the heavens including the sun, the moon, stars and the powers of heaven. It will be a time of deep dark blackness. At the culmination of this period of time, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will come from heaven as the Son of Man, coming in the clouds with great power and glory. His will be a bright and unmistakable display of His glory. No one on earth, in seeing Him, can avoid Him.In verse 27, Jesus will send forth His angels to collect His elect Jewish believers to Himself wherever they are scattered.Let's turn to Mark 13:24 with Dr. Mitchell to hear Jesus' words concerning His coming again.This is the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

In Mark 13:14-23 our study continues.Jesus is describing things to come to 4 of His disciples, Peter, James, John and Andrew.In these verses our Lord speaks of the portion of time when an idol is set up in the temple. This incident was first spoken of by Daniel the prophet. Dr. Mitchell will explore this more in depth. This time is called the great tribulation which is described by many of the Old Testament prophets as the day of the LORD. Here Jesus refers to this 7 year period of time, which John later writes about in the book of Revelation 6-19 in great detail. The church will not be there then at all.Although the tribulation is worldwide in scope, it centers on the physical nation of Israel in particular and their deliverance from it.Let's hear what Jesus says with Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Mark 13:14.

Jesus is in Jerusalem and the Passover is drawing near, after which, we know that Jesus is falsely accused of blasphemy, mocked, beaten, sentenced death, and unjustly executed on the cross. Before that time arrives, Jesus has much to say to his disciples about the end of days and the endurance required to be a disciple. Persecutions will increase, as will false messiahs. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the words of Jesus will never pass away. Finally, no one knows the day or the hour when the end will come, therefore, his disciples should stay alert. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Send us Fan MailWhat does Jesus look like right now, not as a baby or a dying man on the cross, but as the reigning Son of Man? In this powerful episode the VC looks into the dramatic climax of Mark 13, where Jesus describes terrifying tribulation followed by His glorious return in clouds with great power and glory. Drawing from Daniel 7, you'll see Christ as the divine Judge who slays the monsters of wickedness and rescues His elect from the four winds. Jesus calls every believer to stay awake, observe the signs like a fig tree, and trust His eternal words while rejecting idle speculation about the exact day or hour. Don't miss this urgent reminder that hard times are coming, but the Son of Man is greater, and He is near at the very gates.

Study in the Gospel of Mark continues in chapter 13. Here Jesus gives us an overview of things to come. In this lesson, verses 1-13, we find 4 disciples sitting with Jesus on the Mount of Olives.Dr. Mitchell points out: Persecution is less in the US and Canada but it is changing during this present generation, not against religion but against the savior, against our love for Him and against the gospel of the grace of God. Here in the 21st century, Dr. Mitchell makes reference to the 20th century.Here we are in another year of this twenty-first century with the Unchanging Word of God. It is still trustworthy, intact and able to minister to this current generation revealing the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Mark 13:1

Part of the Son of Man series. Sermon by Pastor Nathan Alley The post The Kingdom On Watch // Mark 13 first appeared on Applewood Community Church.

And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" 2 And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." Signs of the End of the Age 3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?" 5 And Jesus began to say to them, "See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 "But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved...

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most sacred, historic building in your world—the center of everything you thought mattered to God—was suddenly prophesied to be completely wiped out? In this powerful episode on Mark 13, we sit with Jesus on the Mount of Olives as He drops a bombshell on His disciples: the magnificent Jerusalem Temple is coming down. Total destruction. No coming back. This isn't just some old prophecy—it's a call to stop chasing shadows and trust the One who holds tomorrow. Whether you're new to Mark 13 or have questions about the details, this episode will steady your heart in uncertain times.

There are things to come that we ought not give too much of our attention, while on the other hand there are things to come that will truly test us.

This week, we look at the "Olivet Discourse" where Jesus predicts the destruction of Jerusalem. The disciples ask, "when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”

There is no transcript for today’s episode!  When it comes to end-time prophecy, there are some Christians who look at their view as absolutely essential doctrine and spend tons of time trying to map out the last days with charts and graphs. Others see that as a waste of time and prefer to focus on the here and now. So which approach is correct? Pastor J.D. answers that question today as he continues our series, “The Difficult Sayings of Jesus.”

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the March 6th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible with your Bible Reading Coach, Hunter. In today's journey, we come together from all corners of the world to open our hearts and minds to the pages of Scripture, seeking to be renewed and trained in the ways of Jesus—the ways of life and love. This episode features readings from Deuteronomy chapters 3 and 4, Psalm 36, and Mark chapter 13. Hunter guides us through dramatic moments in Israel's history—their victories, God's commands, and the urgent call to remain devoted. Psalm 36 offers a reflection on the unfailing love and faithfulness of God, while Mark's gospel delivers a powerful reminder from Jesus about keeping watch and staying alert, because no one knows the hour of His return. Throughout, Hunter weaves in personal stories and practical encouragements, reflecting on the active, vigilant faith Jesus calls us to. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers and a gentle invitation to engage in simple acts of connection and humanity, reminding each of us that, above all, we are loved. Settle in as we step into these sacred texts, find encouragement for our daily walk, and remember together to keep watch—faithful and awake—trusting God's enduring presence with us. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Keep watch. That's the word of Jesus to us as we move through our lives. After reading Mark 13, we hear him say: What I say to you, I say to everyone: watch. Sometimes we can imagine that keeping watch just means sitting and waiting, maybe even nodding off as the night gets long. But as Hunter reminded us with his story from the Bering Sea, keeping watch on a ship was anything but passive. It was a calling to active responsibility—alert to every course correction, faithful to look out for hidden dangers, even when things seemed still and quiet. In the spiritual life, Jesus calls us to this same kind of active attentiveness. Peter, James, John, and Andrew come to Jesus full of questions about the future: When will all things be made right? When is the kingdom coming in fullness? Jesus doesn't give them a timetable. Instead, he calls them—and us—to a posture of vigilant faithfulness. No one knows the exact hour or day, not even the angels, not even the Son, but only the Father. What does it mean, then, to keep watch? It means being faithful in the routines of our lives, staying vigilant in prayer, making space to listen for God's word, and doing the next right thing in the service of others—our families, our neighbors, our communities, our church. The stakes are high, but the comfort is real: Jesus is with us through the long watches of the night. He keeps watch with us, teaching us to trust him, to lean on his presence, and to find "songs in the night" as we wait. This podcast itself is meant to be a sort of spiritual wheelhouse—a routine and a place where we daily set our eyes on Christ, letting his words order our thoughts and align our course. Through the encouragement of the Spirit, through song, through scripture, and through prayer, we keep watch together, not just for our own sake but for the sake of those God has entrusted to us. So let's stay present. Let's be awake to the life God is placing before us. Let's keep watch—not in anxiety, but in hope and trust, knowing he is near, he is faithful, and in his time, he will return. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
