In this sermon, Pastor Jim explores Mark 13, continuing the study of the Olivet discourse where Jesus discusses end times. He explains how the temple's destruction was allowed because sacrifices were no longer needed after Jesus' death. The sermon details the signs of the last days, including false religions, wars, natural disasters, persecutions, and tribulations that will continue until Christ's return.

Pastor Jim emphasizes that while no one knows the exact day or hour of Christ's return, believers should remain vigilant and prepared. Using the analogy of a master leaving servants in charge of his estate, he encourages Christians to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to them, to be discerning about who leads in the church, and to live godly lives that demonstrate God's grace.
