11.16.25: “Don’t Panic, Be Discerning: Faith That Endures the Earthquake”—Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons

What do you do when the world feels like it’s shaking?When the symbols you trusted fall?When fear, chaos, and uncertainty seem to rule the day?In this sermon from Luke 21:5–19, Pastor Jarrod confronts one of Jesus’ most disturbing teachings — His prophecy that even the Temple, the sacred center of Israel’s worship and identity, will fall stone from stone.Drawing on history, Scripture, Winston Churchill’s defiant hope during the Blitz, and the astonishing destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, this message explores:Why Jesus warns that our symbols will fail usWhat it means that the “Holy” has migrated — from the Temple to Christ to the ChurchWhy fear is the currency of politicians, media, and false messiahsHow Christians can remain discerning in times of cultural panicWhy discipleship requires endurance, not escapeHow spiritual disciplines prepare us for chaos before it arrivesWhy faith can outlast even the collapse of sacred placesPastor Jarrod weaves in personal story, spiritual direction, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and a profound reminder:The world may be troubled, but God is still God — and endurance is the shape of Christian hope.Whether you feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted by the news, or shaken by life’s instability, this sermon offers clarity, courage, and a vision of resilient, kingdom-shaped faith.#PeachtreeChristianChurch #PCCAtlanta #Sermon #Luke21 #Endurance #KingdomOfGod #FaithInUncertainTimes #ChristianLiving #DontBeAfraid #ResilientFaith #AtlantaChurch #TraditionedInnovation #Discipleship #SpiritualEndurance
