Sunday, January 25, 2026 | AWAKE – Stay Awake
Pastor Terry concludes a series on spiritual warfare with a message about staying spiritually awake after experiencing God’s awakening. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5, he warns against spiritual drift that often follows periods of spiritual intensity like fasting. The greatest danger isn’t opposition but relaxation – becoming complacent after experiencing God’s presence. Paul teaches believers to live in balance: not ignoring Christ’s return nor becoming so focused on it that they’re ineffective. The pastor emphasizes four key principles: stay awake by rejecting spiritual drift, stay alert by recognizing your current season, stay armored by protecting what God has awakened through faith and love, and encourage one another beyond the fast period. He stresses that awakening doesn’t make you more spiritual but more aware, and that discipline must sustain what revival ignites.
