What do we do when life feels like it’s coming apart? In Matthew 24:29–35, Jesus uses vivid Old Testament imagery and a simple fig tree to help his disciples understand seasons of upheaval, judgment, hope, and renewal. Scot Johnson shows how this passage points us away from obsession, fear, or apathy and toward spiritual readiness. Jesus is the Son of Man, the reigning King whose words will never pass away. When the world feels unstable—or when our own lives feel shaken—we can bear good fruit by bowing to King Jesus, paying attention to our spiritual season, anchoring in Scripture, and joining God’s mission in the world.
Faith in the Waiting - Week 7
What do you do when God’s call feels costly, confusing, or deeply personal? In Genesis 22, Abraham faces the hardest test of his life, and through it we see what real faith looks like. This message explores how God uses testing not to toy with his people, but to deepen trust and refine the heart. As Abraham learns to listen, obey, and hold even God’s promises with open hands, we’re invited to do the same. But the story does not end with Abraham’s faithfulness. It points us to God’s faithfulness—his provision, his justice, his grace, and ultimately his Son. This sermon helps us respond to God’s call with a simple posture: “Here I am.”
