What Are The Signs? (1 of 3)
Series: The End?
Jeff Geyer
Luke 21, 1 John 2, Revelation 6
Big Idea:
Even with the uncertainty of the end, the resurrection gives certainty to our end.
Intro:
The global pandemic. People wearing masks. Some have not left their homes. Businesses have shutdown. Government mandates. Vaccine fast-tracked for emergency use. Is this the end? Believe it or not, we're not the first ones to ask the question. For three weeks, we will find out how Jesus and others answer that question. If it is the end, would you be ready?
Over the past 300 years, there have been many predictions made that the end was certain.
In 1806, a hen in Leeds, England appeared to lay eggs inscribed with the message ''Christ is Coming.'' Many people visited the hen and began to prepare for Judgment Day. It was found that it was a hoax by the owner of the hen who wrote on the eggs in corrosive ink and reinserted them into the hen.

In 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez predicts that the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.
In 2020, Greta Thunberg predicts that we have eight years to save the earth.
In 2021, John Kerry predict ...
