Matthew 24:36-44 | Stay Awake: Living Ready for the Coming of Jesus (Advent Week One)

Advent is more than nostalgia, candles, or counting down to Christmas. It’s a season of holy anticipation—not only remembering Christ’s birth but preparing for His return. In Matthew 24:36–44, Jesus tells us that no one knows the day or hour. Our calling isn’t to predict—it’s to stay awake, to live prepared, and to let our hope shape the way we move through the world.

In this message, we explore:

  • Why Jesus emphasizes not knowing
  • What Noah teaches us about readiness
  • The danger of spiritual sleep
  • How Advent invites us to slow down, surrender, and live awake
  • What it means to wait with hope for the One who makes all things new

Jesus Christ has come—and He will come again. This Advent, may we prepare our hearts for our Coming King.
