In this sermon, we travel back to Pompeii, a city that once felt untouchable in its wealth and comfort—until Mt. Vesuvius erupted and exposed just how fragile that sense of security really was. This is similar to the sense of the security that the Jewish people felt at the time of the prophet Amos. Amos’ sobering words indicate this, “Woe to you who are complacent…”, this sermon challenges us to examine where we place our confidence today.

Just like ancient Israel, we too can be lulled into spiritual complacency by wealth, comfort, and the illusion of control. Yet God, in His mercy, refuses to leave us asleep in that false security. Through His Word, He calls us to repentance, wakes us from spiritual slumber, and points us to the only true safety and security—Jesus Christ.

Join us as we reflect on the dangers of misplaced trust, the urgency of repentance, and the unshakable hope we have in the Savior who never grew complacent in rescuing us.
