(July 9, 2023 | Pastor Michael Siggelkow) Delve into the importance of remaining spiritually vigilant and aware of Christ's presence in our lives. Drawing inspiration from relatable experiences, such as parenting, we explore the call to stay watchful and discerning in our daily walk. Examining Jesus' call to His disciples to "keep watch," we uncover the depth of His human experience and His ability to empathize with our struggles. As we witness Jesus' anguish and overwhelming emotions, we realize that it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times, knowing that even Jesus experienced it. Delving into Jesus' impending suffering on the cross, we understand His desire for the support of His disciples during this distressing moment. Emphasizing the significance of community, we learn to lean on one another during challenging times. We discover that Jesus created us to be watchful people, instinctively caring for others. The sermon explores the call to keep a spiritual watch, remaining connected to God and alert to His presence. It urges us to seek support from others and stand firm together as we anticipate trials. Ultimately, Jesus' call to keep watch extends beyond personal growth—it invites us to join Him in His work and experience His fullness. This sermon inspires us to actively participate in His redemptive mission, embracing His presence in our lives. Join us as we explore the transformative power of staying alert to Christ's presence and walking in the fullness of our faith.
