In this week’s message, Pastor Mike Neglia preaches through Matthew 24:1–14—Jesus’ own words on the end times. From the temple’s destruction to the “beginning of birth pains” (wars, famines, deception), Jesus lays out what to expect before His return—and how His people are called to respond.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• Why Jesus’ dramatic departure from the temple signals deeper judgment and divinity (echoing Ezekiel and Leviticus 14’s imagery).

• What “birth pains” mean for Christians today—not signs of the end yet, but growing intensity and purpose.

• A solid framework for spiritual resilience: sobriety, stability, and tenacity—how to stay sharp in truth, calm under pressure, and faithful under fire.

• Historical examples like the Millerite “Great Disappointment,” the 2011 billboards (“You can know… Judgment Day”), and pandemic-era speculation to show how easily we’re tempted to false timelines—and why Jesus warns us instead to endure.

• The hope that despite deception, hatred, and cold love, the gospel will go to all nations (v.14)—culminating in global worship: “Praise the Lord, ye heavens… let the whole earth praise Him.”

Why listen?
If the world feels like it’s falling apart, this sermon brings clarity, conviction, and mission. Jesus doesn’t leave us in chaos—He gives us truth, calm, and a marching order to proclaim His kingdom until He returns.
