how many of you know endurance is a big deal right now you you can’t just do what you feel like doing that’s the thing i’ve been learning more and more it used to be you know it was nice and sunny there weren’t a lot of problems you felt like getting up going today you got to tell your body get in gear and go do what you’re supposed to do i know you don’t feel like it but do it anyway you got to talk to yourself yeah because it’s hard we’ve talked about this before this world is harder to live in than it’s ever been since we’ve been here

what that means is we’ve got to be tougher than we’ve ever been we have to have more endurance we have to have determination i’m not going to let these things overwhelm me i’m going to do the next thing that god wants me to do with all my heart and when you do that you find a kind of joy and excitement about living your life that’s hard to explain are we living in the world of the end if so what does the bible tell us about this time these days of war devastation unrest strife deception and lawlessness jesus has given us a prophecy to prepare

us for what’s to come prophecies that should shape our priorities define our character and help us thrive instead of just survive in these days of uncertainty he didn’t give us this information so that we would be afraid of what’s to come or be overwhelmed by the world of the end but jesus gave us this message so we can face it with confidence and hope though the circumstances around us may seem dire and our future dim they should make us stronger and better equipped to be a light in the world around us the world of the end

we’re all familiar with the term the end of the world but are we living in the world of the end we’re certainly living during troubling times some days it seems like bad news is everywhere you turn and with such a landslide of troubling news comes the questions why is this happening when will it stop and what can we do well dr david jeremiah has been studying and teaching from god’s word for more than 60 years amazing and in his teaching series entitled the world of the end he focuses on a portion of biblical prophecy that is unique from all others

because they are the words of jesus himself dr jeremiah believes that jesus doesn’t give us this very special prophecy so that we would be afraid or overwhelmed by the world of the end but to face it with confidence and with hope dr jeremiah is here to challenge us not to be frightened i love this but to be faithful and i’m excited that he’s here to share this very important study with us won’t you help me welcome dr david jeremiah i am so excited to be here in this beautiful church and to be with you again and one of the things that we all know
