Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 00:05. Sermon end time: 17:13.
The preacher speaks about how the church should live, in the present, in light of the apocalyptic future. Jesus’ death and resurrection denounces the old world and breaks into a new world. The preacher asks his audience to feel the urgency of evangelical work. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “When Jesus speaks of the end of the world, he does not mean that the world’s going to stop turning tomorrow, rather that we’re about to see the end of the way the present world is run today.”
