Game Over: Week 1

-When confronted with the reality that the “end” is coming (whether through death or Jesus return) what thoughts come to mind? (does it scare you, stress you out, excite you, etc…)

-In verse 9 Jesus says believers will be severely persecuted as we get closer to the end. While we don’t currently encounter intense physical persecution in the US, all around the world believers are being put to death for their faith in Jesus and bold proclamation of the Gospel. How does this make you feel about your boldness in comfortable circumstances?  

-Read verse 13. Does this suggest that we’re saved by our ability to persist in faith during hard times?
