Pastor Lee personal message, Stay Awake
Send us a textA single request echoes through the garden and into our lives today: stay awake. Not just awake on the outside, but alert in spirit—eyes open to God’s will, ears tuned in, and a heart ready to move when he says go. Pastor Lee walks through Mark 14:32–42 and the scene at Gethsemane, where Jesus asks his closest friends to watch and pray and they cannot hold the hour. From that moment, we follow a thread through Luke 18 and John 4 to see how easy it is to be physically present yet spiritually distracted, missing the very people and moments God is using to advance his kingdom.Pastor talks about “access to excess” and how constant inputs can numb discernment. Pastor Lee contrasts a surface-level faith with a living, listening relationship that actually recognizes the Father’s work in the small and the surprising—children brought to Jesus, a Samaritan woman who brings a town, a grave about to become a testimony. Along the way, we unpack what watch-and-pray really means: a posture of alertness, humility, and dependency that turns everyday routines into assignments. Expect a pastoral, urgent, and hopeful charge to wake up with practical steps—simplifying your inputs, carving undistracted prayer, staying ready to give an answer, and making yourself available to be used any day of the week.If you’ve felt spiritually drowsy, drifting, or overwhelmed by noise, this conversation is your alarm clock. Join us as we ask God to open our spiritual eyes and ears so we don’t miss what he’s doing right now.
