Luke 21:5-19

The Church has a word to speak in the face of rising Christian Nationalism and all the bigotry that comes with it. The One through whom all creation has been saved has a word for us.

Paul wrote to the church in Rome, facing down persecution themselves, “faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.”

The church tells the story that evil does not get the last word.

The light of Jesus Christ shines brighter than any of the shiny distractions in Herod’s temple – 2000 years ago and today – because all creation is God's dwelling place.

Live with the knowledge that we have a word to speak today in the race of rising Christian Nationalism, and that word is that death, destruction, and evil do not hold the last word.

Jesus promises to set the world right.

Jesus promises that work has begun through his church, no matter how flawed or lost we become.

Christ is Lord. We are not.

He has come. And he will come again.
