How do we become sober and vigilant? Why is this important for these times?

Pastor Massey teaches us today about becoming sober minded. Some people associate this with not drinking alcohol but it is so much more than that. It means to avoid anything that would lead us away from God's truth and sound judgment.

Sober is not lazy or passive. It is steady and even keeled in the midst of a storm. To be alert is to be sober, committed to truth, trusting in God. When trials come a sober person remains stable because we put our faith and trust in Jesus. Soberness keeps our character stable.

Don't we need to be models for those around us? What happens when people see us fall apart when difficulties come? They can lose faith.

Sober is a state of mind. Vigilance is a state of action. We cannot be vigilant in Christ if we are not sober in mind. When you aren't sober you can't be bold for Christ.

When we are sober we can see clearly. We can deal with the world clearly. We see ourselves and others clearly. If we are sober in mind we can see the Word of God clearly. If we are sober in mind we can be vigilant. We can be victorious.

Let's listen in as Pastor Massey shares with us about vigilance and being sober in mind in Christ.
