Staying Awake in the Long Game
Faith rarely fades in dramatic moments. More often, it drifts quietly through fatigue, distraction, and the slow pull of ordinary life. Jesus speaks directly to that danger. In Luke 12:35–48, Jesus calls His followers to stay awake—not with fear, but with the steady attentiveness that love produces. Resurrection hope does not make us frantic. It teaches us how to remain faithful in the long middle of the story. Terry shares how to go about Staying Awake in the Long Game
Series Information
Lent through Pentecost traces the long road of Jesus toward Jerusalem — toward suffering, surrender, resurrection, and ultimately the sending of the Spirit. Again and again, the disciples misunderstand the path. They expect quick victory, visible power, and immediate clarity. Instead, Jesus keeps leading them deeper into a Kingdom that moves differently than the world expects. In this series, Terry walks us through the slower rhythms of faith — waiting instead of rushing, trusting instead of controlling, and discovering, often later than we expected, that resurrection was already moving beneath the surface. From ashes to fire, from wilderness to empty tomb, from fear to witness, The Long Game invites us to follow Jesus not merely toward Easter morning, but toward the kind of life that can only be formed over time.
