The sermon, based on Revelation 3:1–6, examines Jesus’ letter to the church in Sardis, warning them that although they had a reputation for being alive, they were spiritually asleep and in danger of death. Using Sardis’ historical downfall due to a sleeping watchman, Pastor Mike Burnette challenges believers and the church today to “wake up,” repent, and reignite their passion for Christ so their faith is truly alive, not just outwardly impressive. He concludes by encouraging the faithful remnant to stay alert, fully devoted, and “on fire” for Jesus, living ready for His return and the promise of eternal life.
