"Faith in a Shaking World"

Nov 16, 2025  •  Rev. Charlie Holt

In this timely and challenging sermon from Luke 21:5–19, Rev. Charlie Holt reflects on Jesus’ warning about the fall of the temple and the collapse of human institutions. With insight, humor, and historical perspective, he reminds us that while governments, systems, and even personal stability may crumble, our hope is in something unshakable—the Lord Himself. Rev. Holt draws parallels between ancient Jerusalem’s upheaval and the uncertainty of our own age, urging believers to place their trust not in politics, leaders, or wealth, but in the God who saves. Whether facing national turmoil or personal loss, we are called to bear witness with courage, perseverance, and unwavering faith in Christ.


Scripture Reference: Luke 21:5–19


Key Themes: Faith, Perseverance, Trust in God, Endurance, Witness, Hope in Uncertainty
