Finding Hope in the Chaos | Tailgate Theology

In this episode, Brody tackles some pressing issues of our time–elections, wars, and natural disasters that may leave us feeling hopeless. 

Using Mark 13, Brody reminds us that our hope does not lie in politicians or governments, but in King Jesus. Through the storms we face, the Lord is with us, preparing a greater kingdom for those who endure to the end. 

Tune in for a message that encourages us to remain vigilant and active in our faith through the chaos this world brings.

31:49-32:32 – As Christians, we can hold fast to the authority and sufficiency of scripture. All scripture is breathed out by God. False teachers

38:07-38:19 – The world seems hopeless, there is coming a government that is held up on the shoulders of King Jesus.

48:10 – Our hope is not in these candidates, our hope has got to be King Jesus.

50:01-50:08 – Don’t sleep! If were alive when he returns, lets be found working and laboring and advancing the Gospel. Our hope must lie in this.
