Pastor Shawn Torres opens the Advent season with Scripture’s urgent call: wake up. Advent doesn’t ease in softly; it jolts us awake to the coming of the King. Isaiah shows us our destination, the psalmist shows us our posture, Paul shakes off our spiritual sleep, and Jesus reminds us that the hour is unknown—so we must be ready.
This sermon explores what it means to cast off the works of darkness, put on the armor of light, pursue reconciliation, seek the good of our city, and walk as people shaped by God’s future Kingdom. Advent invites us to live awake, alert, and aligned with God’s purposes—starting now.
Scripture: Isaiah 2:1–5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11–14; Matthew 24:36–44
