In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells His disciples that “the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). What does Jesus mean by this? How should we understand endurance in light of the Bible's clear teaching that those who belong to Christ cannot lose their salvation?In this sermon on Matthew 24:8–13, we examine these important questions by looking closely at the context of Jesus' words and the relationship between endurance and the assurance.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

Jesus warned His disciples that false teachers would infiltrate the church, that lawlessness would spread, and that the love of many would grow cold—dangers that flow naturally from rejecting the truth. In this message, we continue our study of the Olivet Discourse and explore how believers can guard their hearts and maintain a steadfast love for Christ.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

This is the 3rd session on Eschatology. It was presented on Nov. 24, 2025 at First Christian Church in Somerset, PA.

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

The Second coming of Jesus Christ is the future event that all Christians long for. Apart from this drastic occasion, the Christian can never be truly satisfied to the fullest. We are blessed. We are empowered. We enjoy the gift of life and all that it contains. Yet, we are not perfectly content until the moment arrives when we see our King. This is the blessed hope of the Christian life, and it will not be denied us. Having said that, before Jesus returns, things will become very dark on planet earth. In this next section of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus prophesies some very dark storms which must arise before He returns. These events will shake the planet in ways that Jesus declared would be the worst days humanity has ever experienced. Why is it important that we understand these things? So we may be prepared in heart, mind, spirit and soul for them when they occur. Be sobered as we learn about the coming storms and how to be ready for them.
11-16-25 Olivet Discourse Pt 3 - Matthew 24:29-35 by Woodlawn Baptist Church
As Jesus leaves the temple, He prophesies its complete destruction, sparking the disciples' questions about the end of the age. Jesus responds with the Olivet Discourse, a dense prophecy of "birth pains": false messiahs, wars, famines, and the "abomination of desolation." He warns of intense persecution but promises that "the one who endures to the end will be saved" and that the Gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes. The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church, Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 24:1-35. To learn more about Concordia Lutheran, visit concordiajt.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

This is second part in a series on Eschatology. It was presented at First Christian Church on Nov. 17, 2025. In this lecture we will begin our walk through the Olivet Discourse. Note: the recording began about ten minutes after the start of the class. Main Text: Matthew 24
Send us a textWhat happens when two Christians from different theological backgrounds sit down to discuss the topics most churches avoid? In this engaging conversation, Cass welcomes Matt from Post-PostModern Theology for a deep dive into philosophy, apologetics, and the cultural forces shaping modern Christianity.Matt shares his journey from skeptical Greek Orthodox roots to apologetics, explaining how postmodernism has become the "cannibalistic" worldview eating itself alive—from transgender ideology contradicting feminism to Richard Dawkins becoming a "cultural Christian." But the conversation goes beyond cultural critique. Discover why Christians struggle to share their faith (hint: it's about counting the cost), how to have controversial conversations with grace, and why every single person—atheist or believer—lives by faith. Matt breaks down complex philosophical concepts like epistemology and presuppositional apologetics into practical wisdom for defending your beliefs.The discussion takes controversial turns: Is Christian Zionism hurting the church? What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? Why isn't communion mentioned in John's Last Supper account? Should Christians observe the Sabbath?Throughout, both hosts model what they preach: respectful disagreement, intellectual humility, and a commitment to testing everything against Scripture. Whether you're reformed, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you believe and why.Key Topics:Postmodernism's impact on church and cultureApologetics methods (evidential vs presuppositional)Israel, eschatology, and end times theologyThe problem of Christian echo chambersWhy the laws of logic prove immaterial reality existsCommunion, Sabbath, and denominational differencesPerfect for: Christians seeking intellectual depth, anyone interested in apologetics, and believers ready to step outside their theological comfort zone.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

What is the symbolic meaning of the seven-sealed scroll in the book of Revelation? Dr. Kurschner first described three common interpretations. Then he explicated his new view, which is the most plausible, called a certificate of debenture (i.e. debt). The nature of the first four seals, fifth seal, and the sixth seal support this interpretation, which also gives additional support for the prewrath position in the book of Revelation. The seals on the scroll are not God's wrath. Rather, the seals symbolize the accumulating debt of judgment that the wicked deserve and eventually will have to pay up when the scroll is opened, unleashing the trumpet and bowl judgments of the day of the Lord's wrath.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 63 Gary continues his discussion of Matthew 23-25 with Darren Doane. The two discussed what is known as Jesus' Olivet Discourse a few years back, and this conversation picks up where they left off, continuing through Matthew 25. Many commentators see a break in the events of Matthew 24, with part of it being fulfilled in the first century and the rest being fulfilled in our future. Is this valid? This is only an excerpt from Part 4 of the series. All four parts of the discussion can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDoYkcngzFPgguXQ0r03fo-k5xRbeqL1v
In this sermon Josh Turansky teaches from Matthew 24:29-35, contrasting the kingdom present in the heart (Sermon on the Mount) with the future kingdom revealed in the Olivet Discourse, asserting that belief in Christ's return is necessary to justify the hardships of living as a kingdom citizen now. Jesus details the immediate post-distress cosmic cataclysms, the visible arrival of the Son of Man on the clouds with power and great glory to gather His elect, and instructs believers to interpret these signs—which will occur within a single generation—as assurance that He is "near, at the door".

Dr. Nate Magloughlin - Mark 13:1-37
As Jesus begins what is known as the Olivet Discourse, He is answering the disciples questions about the coming destruction of the Temple, the sign of His coming, and of the end of the age. With these questions as the immediate context of Jesus' teaching in this passage, we will examine His warnings about false signs and false Christs that might otherwise lead His people astray.This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN.

In connection with the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. While the bridegroom delayed in his coming, five wise virgins had enough oil to light their lamps, while five foolish virgins ran out of oil. While they are gone, the bridegroom arrives locking out the foolish virgins. In this episode, we cover different perspectives of this parable and its primary interpretation of waiting and not growing weary.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are discussing another parable in the Olivet Discourse. Or is it actually a parable? This one is about the “Sheep” and the “Goats.” They are the Tribulation survivors, but whom do the sheep and the goats represent? Why are they being separated?
Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are continuing their “Tough Texts” series. Who is the just and who is the unjust servant of Matthew 24? This is one of many stories Jesus told during His teaching on the Mount of Olives. We call this teaching, “The Olivet Discourse.”
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. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006
