Times of great upheaval can shake us more deeply than we expect. A crisis in the world, a sudden loss, a threat to our security, or even uncertainty about the future can expose what our hearts are really clinging to. In Matthew 24:15–28, Jesus prepares his followers for a coming catastrophe and teaches them how to remain faithful when everything feels unstable. This message explores how to respond wisely: knowing when to run, loosening our grip on our stuff, remembering that God’s purposes will not fail, and growing in discernment. Jesus is not giving us a puzzle to solve. He is giving us a way to live faithfully when upheaval comes.
