## Resource

As you look ahead to Jesus' return at the End of the Age, do you feel anticipation and joy or fear and dread? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual growth we need to undergo to be prepared for the future. Jesus advises us to be aware of the "birth pains" that will precede His return, and Pastor Allen points out how many of these are present in the world today, including the rise of deception, evil, and lawlessness. He also explains the parable of the wheat and the tares and how good will grow alongside evil—we need to keep our eyes focused on the good and what God is doing. We're guaranteed persecution as this present age comes to a close, but we'll also grow closer to God as we persevere.
