Awake, Thou That Sleepest - The Devotional Wesley

“For this reason it says, ‘Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.’” — Ephesians 5:14 (LSB) Part of our The Devotional Wesley sermon series, this message explores Charles Wesley’s powerful sermon Awake, Thou That Sleepest from Ephesians 5:14. Building on the themes of salvation by faith and The Almost Christian, this sermon examines the danger of spiritual complacency and the call to awaken from spiritual sleep. Through Scripture and the Wesleyan tradition, we discover that Christ does not merely expose our need—He awakens us to new life, transforming our hearts to love God and serve others. Join us as we consider what it means to move beyond outward religion and live as fully awakened disciples of Jesus Christ.
