Wake Up

Micah Reaves · August 9, 2026 · 12:15 PM service

Micah Reaves preaches from Romans 13:11-12 on the urgency of waking out of spiritual sleep, using an alarm clock and the snooze button to picture how believers put off the work God has given them. He points to 1 Thessalonians 5, 1 Corinthians 15:34, and 1 Corinthians 11 to show that Christians are children of the day who ought to be watching, sober, and examining themselves rather than assuming someone else will do their job. He closes by reminding hearers that the lost are dying every second, that God is not willing that any should perish, and that every believer has a work to do until Christ returns.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”
Romans 13:11-12 (KJV)
