Rouse to Reality, Part 1

Sep 10, 2025    Pastor Jonathan Burns

In this powerful message, we're called to 'Rouse to Reality' - a wake-up call for the church in these critical times. The central theme revolves around Romans 13:11-14, urging us to awaken from spiritual slumber as our final deliverance draws near. This isn't about waking up to worldly conspiracies or cultural wars, but to the ultimate spiritual reality of our new life in Christ. We're challenged to pursue our unique gifts, draw closer to God, and live in constant communion with the Holy Spirit. The message emphasizes that while we're saved by grace, we're called to actively clothe ourselves with Christ and resist worldly temptations. As we see prophetic signs unfolding, like the restoration of Israel, we're urged to stay alert and watchful for Christ's return. This teaching invites us to reflect on how we're living our faith and encourages us to be found pursuing God's work when He returns.
