Sundays at Rock Church | October 11th 2026

Main message: When life or the world seems to be falling apart (as Jesus predicts the temple's destruction in Mark 13), don't panic — hold fast to what cannot be moved: God's word, the Holy Spirit's leadership, and the hope of Christ's return.

Key points:

• Context: Jesus predicts the temple's destruction in Mark 13, prompting questions about the end times; his answer frames chaos as "birth pains" — signs that something is happening but not the final end.
• Don't panic; prepare. Many will assume disaster means the end, but Jesus warns against alarm and urges readiness instead of fear.
• Hold fast to the truth of Scripture: deception will be loud in chaotic times, so anchor your life in God's word because "my words will never pass away."
• Rely on the Holy Spirit's leadership and power when facing persecution or confusion — "it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit."
• Live rooted and eternity-minded: what you are rooted in matters more than what you're facing; keep hope in Christ's return and live as if your days are numbered.

Scriptures mentioned: Mark 13, John 16:13
