As we face an uncertain future and growing hostility to Christianity, Jesus' words in Mark to His disciples soon before His death have much instruction and encouragement.

Mark 13
Matthew 24:3
Acts 9:15-16
Philippians 2:12-13

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:

• How do Jesus' words in this passage help us plan for the future?
• What are some of the things we are to watch for?
• What are our responsibilities, and what is God's part in this passage and in our lives?
