What should we do, knowing that Jesus could come at any time? In this week’s episode, J. Mark Horst teaches from Mark 13:28–37, where Jesus focuses on the conditions at the climax of human history.

Join us in “Watch and Pray” to learn what Jesus desires from us in this time.
What does the marriage supper of the Lamb reveal about Christ and His Church? In this episode, J. Mark introduces us to Revelation 19:6-10, examining the preparation of the bride, the blessing of those invited to the marriage supper, and the angel’s command to worship God alone. He also explores how Jewish wedding traditions shed light on this passage, and how the church, the bride of Christ, must remain spiritually alert as we await His return.
What signs point to the coming of the Son of Man? In this episode of Hope for Today, J. Mark explores Mark 13:14-27 where Jesus predicts the events surrounding His return. J. Mark explains the imagery and context behind these prophecies, including how they connect to prophecies in Daniel. This lesson explores the specific signs Jesus gave us to watch for and reminds us of the importance of being prepared for His return and remaining faithful.
Revelation 19 marks a dramatic shift as the destruction of Babylon gives way to praise in anticipation of Christ’s return. In this episode, J. Mark Horst explores the four Alleluias in Revelation 19:1–6. These alleluias highlight God’s salvation, power, and glory. This passage reminds us that God alone is worthy of our praise, and we can anticipate the fullness of the Christ’s kingdom to come.
Mark 13 brings us to Jesus’ prediction of future events as He responds to observations and questions from His disciples. In this episode, J. Mark guides us through Mark 13:1-13, where Jesus predicts physical destruction, spiritual deception, political aggression, and religious persecution. Join us to learn about these indicators of “The Coming Judgment,” and about how we can live as followers of Jesus in these predicted circumstances.
What will remain when the world’s systems, wealth, and influence are gone? In this episode, J. Mark Horst studies Revelation 18:20–24, where John describes the final destruction of Babylon. J. Mark considers three insights into Babylon’s final overthrow: the storm of God’s vengeance, the enduring silence that follows its destruction, and the evidence that leads to its judgment. This sobering passage reminds us that worldly wealth, power, and status will not last, and calls us to live for the eternal city rather than the “NO MORE” city.
In this episode, J. Mark explores Mark 12:38–44, where Jesus contrasts the self-centered worship of the scribes with the worship of a poor widow who gave everything she had. As we examine this passage, we see how pride and recognition reveal a heart focused on worshipping self rather than worshipping God. Through the widow’s example, we’re reminded that true worship is not measured by how much we give, but by the heart and motives behind what we give to God.
What does our grief reveal about what we truly value? In Revelation 18:9-19, J. Mark Horst examines the mourning that follows the fall of Babylon and the destruction of its wealth, power, and luxury. Kings, merchants, and workers all mourn because they have lost the riches and pleasures they built their lives around. As we consider their response, we’re challenged to examine our own priorities and ask whether we are invested in the wealth and pleasures of this world but or in the true riches found in Christ.
