Hay or Gold: What's Your Faith Made Of?

Join us for the 42nd installment of our expository series, "The Book of Mark," as Brother Al Toepke delivers a message titled "Hay or Gold: What's Your Faith Made Of?" from Mark 13:1-13. In this engaging sermon, discover how Jesus uses the prophecy of the temple's destruction to challenge us about the quality of our spiritual lives. Brother Al explores the compelling metaphor of building materials — hay, wood, and precious stones — to illustrate what we're constructing in our faith journey. Learn about the importance of enduring through trials, the power of simply being still in God's presence, and why our mission is sharing the gospel rather than getting lost in end-times speculation. Be inspired to examine what materials you're using to build your faith and encouraged to stand firm when life's pressures threaten to overwhelm you. Whether you're a seasoned believer or exploring Christianity, this message offers practical wisdom and hope for building a faith that endures.
