(ESV)\n\n        Jesus was teaching His disciples about the judgment of all\n   people at the end of the age.  Although He did not tell the\n   disciples exactly when this would happen, He told them of various\n   signs which will point to the end of days.\n\n        And he told them a parable: ``Look at the fig tree, and\n        all the trees.  As soon as they come out in leaf, you\n        see for yourselves and know that the summer is already\n        near.  So also, when you see these things taking place,\n        you know that the kingdom of God is near.  Truly, I say\n        to you, this generation will not pass away until all\n        has taken place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but\n        my words will not pass away.''\n\n\n        We prepare for our Lord's return, we prepare for our own\n   last day, by hearing and trusting in His Word.  The Word of God\n   explains that we, of our own reason and strength, cannot live in\n   a way that assures us of eternal life with our heavenly Father.\n   The Word tells us that the Father sent His Son to die in our\n   place, to pay the debt of our guilt, to conquer death and the\n   grave.  His resurrection is a foretaste of our own resurrection.\n\n        Today is the day of your salvation.  We do not and cannot\n   know when He will return again.  We do not and cannot know when\n   we will fall asleep awaiting the final trumpet sound.  Therefore,\n   prepare, even as you prepare for the changing seasons.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith to hear His Word, to believe it,\n   and to know that our hope is only in Him.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 10, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4158"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4158\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4159,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4158\/revisions\/4159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
