His Last Week: The Temple Falls - Pastor Ben Hodges

Luke 20:1-2 Authority of Jesus vs All Other AuthorityLuke 20:14-19Temple Worship (heart) Has Fallen Apart1. Chief Priest and Scribes attempt to pit Jesus against Rome to get rid of Him (Luke 20:20-26).2. The Sadducees act in bad faith by asking about the resurrection from the dead while they do not believe in the resurrection (Luke 20:27-44).3. The Scribes know the Scripture in their heads, but Scripture has not softened their hearts to the things of God (Luke 20:45-47).4. Even in worship through giving, things are fundamentally broke (Luke 21:1-4).The Temple (the building) Will Fall ApartLuke 21:5-9 1. The Temple will be destroyed (in 70AD Titus conquers).2. False Teachers will arise declaring the “End is Near” and “I am the Christ.”- Not every religion is right.- Not every leader is leading to the right place.3. Persecution will come – even within families (Luke 21:10-19).4. Jerusalem will fall (Luke 21: 20-24).- Jerusalem will be surrounded by Roman forces.5. The End of the World as we know it is coming but with it, full redemption (Luke 21:25-33).Luke 21:34-36 34
