Resurrection South Austin

Father Shawn McCain Tieres | November 30, 2025 - Advent 1

In a world designed to keep us anxious, distracted, and scrolling, Jesus calls us to "stay awake"—but what does that really mean when we're already exhausted? This Advent sermon explores the crucial difference between being kept awake by algorithms, fear, and endless demands versus choosing to stay awake for hope, love, and God's coming kingdom. Through the lens of baptism and Romans 13, discover how putting on Christ reorients our entire lives toward what truly matters, inviting us to lay down the exhausting work of self-preservation and take up the liberating work of love.
