Podcasts about Matthew 24

We see today how Matthew 24 can sound scary at first — one of those “Left Behind” passages many of us grew up hearing with fear — but you remind us that Advent invites us to hear it with hope, not dread. Jesus' return isn't about God coming to get us; it's about God coming to heal us, restore what's broken, end suffering, and make all things new. You point us to Isaiah's vision of swords turned into plowshares and help us imagine a world with no more cancer, hunger, or heartbreak — the world Christ is coming to bring. And while we wait, you encourage us to live with expectation, not discouragement, because at any moment hope can break through, and by God's grace we can even be agents of that hope for others through kindness, service, and love.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This week, Pastor Joe launches our Advent Series titled Desperate Measures as we recognize that our world is not as it should be. How might we live into hope, not as optimism or pretending that everything will work out, but rather as a declaration that better days are coming? 

Matthew 24

This week, we began Advent!

Send us a textIn Matthew 24:35 Jesus said "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Jesus was telling His disciples what the signs would be before He would come back and all the things that would happen.  Then He tells them of the certainty of all this happening with the words in this verse.  With these words He is claiming that all of His predictions have the same authority and legitimacy as God's words because He is God.  It says in Hebrew 1:1-2 God, who at different times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son (Jesus), whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; Do you trust the scriptures and what is said in them?  You should, God has spoken and we need to have ears to hear and also be doers of the word.  Let us be diligent to do this today and every day.          Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.        Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?             John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today.               “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  -John 8:32           Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten.              hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.net https://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

Text: Matthew 24:36-44As we begin the season of Advent, we recognize that sometimes we accept that the world is broken and just wait for Jesus to come again to fix things. However, the coming of Jesus and the expectation of His return isn’t an escape; it’s the fulfillment of a lifetime of preparation. We can…

Christian Solidarity Worldwide | Andrew Saul - 30 November 2025 | 9.30am - Matthew 24:36-44 by Holy Trinity Claygate

Rev'd Nate Hayes

Stay awake: the day of Christ's coming is unknown but near.

Jesus said to his disciples:"As it was in the days of Noah,so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.In those days before the flood,they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage,up to the day that Noah entered the ark.They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away.So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man.Two men will be out in the field;one will be taken, and one will be left.Two women will be grinding at the mill;one will be taken, and one will be left.Therefore, stay awake!For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.Be sure of this: if the master of the househad known the hour of night when the thief was coming,he would have stayed awakeand not let his house be broken into.So too, you also must be prepared,for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come."

Sermon - Matthew 24:36 - 44 - Are You Ready? by Community Lutheran Church

Isaiah 2:2-5 | Psalm 122 | Romans 13:11-14 | Matthew 24:36-44

[Jesus said to the disciples,] 36 "About that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so, too, will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two will be in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken, and one will be left. 42 Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

1st Sunday of Advent, Year A

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30, the message is called THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, with Patrick Edwards. Kevin McAlister knew when the Wet Bandits were coming to rob his house, to which he famously says, “When they come back, I'll be ready.” Seems obvious, and yet, in the busyness of life we get so distracted that we often don't give our faith much of a thought. Jesus warns, however, that as the once and future King He will most assuredly return one day to consummate His Kingdom and He intends to find us doing what He instructed us to do.

Imminent Arrival of the King The king is an important person. His arrival at our place can mean something quite different to us depending on our relationship with him. We might fear his arrival if we expect him to punish us. We might welcome his arrival if we expect him to validate us. Either way, we expect his arrival to be a big deal.  Advent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching  for King Jesus to return as the conquering King on the Last Day.  Because he lived, died and rose again to bring us victory over all of our enemies, we  anticipate his imminent arrival not with worry but with joy. Support the showMessages from the King is produced by King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL.To find out more about King of Kings...

We're starting a new series for Advent at both the 10am and 4:30pm Services and this Sunday, Assistant Pastor, Tim Guest, will be preaching on the four readings for the First Sunday in advent prescribed by the Reformed Common Lectionary - Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44. The readings guide us to begin Advent by reflecting on the future hope of God's perfect peace and responding to that hope by engaging in immediate spiritual wakefulness and moral transformation in preparation for the Christ's glorious return.

2024-08-01 - Signs of the End Times： Matthew 24 [aTwfzA4mNDY] by Salvador Flores III

In this episode, Jesus will go into greater detail concerning Jerusalem and the abomination of desolation that was prophesied in the book of Daniel. Come study with Danny and Robert and let us strive to understand more about Jesus.

This week, our clergy encounter the Bible passage that has everyone so worried about the rapture! Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy discuss the shocking scenarios Jesus illustrates, explain how to keep awake and keep hope alive during trying times, and teach how to live as people of God's kingdom. Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and Application1. What does it mean to “live with the end in mind” without becoming fearful or fixated on predictions?2. One theme is living awake amid distraction, consumer culture, and sleepwalking through life. What are the most common “sleepwalkers” in your week—habits or forces that dull your spiritual awareness?3. Advent is portrayed as strength-building through hope → peace → joy → love. What spiritual “muscle” feels most in need of attention for you right now?Personal Reflection1. When you hear “keep awake,” what emotions come up first—comfort, pressure, curiosity, anxiety, resistance?2. The clergy discuss endings that arrive unexpectedly—death, loss, doors closing, sudden change. What “unexpected hour” have you lived through, and how did it shape you?3. John mentions the tension of embarrassment around future-oriented eschatology. Are there parts of Christian belief that you feel hesitant to talk about? Why?Broader Spiritual Considerations1. John brings in Augustine's idea that history is opaque—we can't read God's timetable through current events. What are the dangers of assuming our era is uniquely “the end,” and what are the dangers of ignoring real crisis?2. The podcast holds two truths together: the world is broken, and God keeps coming into it. How do you keep those both alive without collapsing into cynicism or denial?3. Advent begins by naming chaos, violence, and instability—and yet it's a season of hope. What does it mean spiritually to begin hopeful waiting in a world that feels unsteady?Learn more about St. Mark's at https://www.stmarksnewcanaan.orgWant to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Join us every Sunday at 10am at River of Life church in Guilderland, NY Find us online at facebook.com/riveralbany or riveralbany.com. Podcasts of the Sunday message can be found on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, YT music, or Soundcloud.

Many think Advent is a time to prepare for the birth of Jesus, but, as this text illuminates, there's no time to prepare. Jesus has broken in and the clock has struck midnight. Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson teach us that this text is about the end times. When Jesus breaks in, he doesn't come with a to-do list. He comes with a to-done list. It's the end of times; what is done, is done. And what does it mean to be prepared? The necessary preparations are done. You are prepared because you've received faith. You've been elected. God is your Savior. CHALLENGE GRANT A Luther House of Study donor is sponsoring a challenge grant.
