Peaceful sleep is a gift from God—but there are moments when slumber becomes dangerous. In this Advent sermon, Rev. David Buchs reflects on Saint Peter’s urgent call to be stirred up, awakened from spiritual drowsiness to watch, wait, and live in hope as the Day of the Lord approaches. Far from fear-driven urgency, this wakefulness is grounded in God’s patience, mercy, and promise of a new creation.

Wednesday, December 17 | Grace Lutheran Church, Little Rock, Arkansas | 2 Peter 3

Key themes include:

• God’s patience as salvation, not delay

• Spiritual wakefulness in a world of scoffing and distraction

• Living holy and hopeful lives while waiting for Christ’s return

• The promise of renewal: new hearts, new creation, lasting joy
