Wake Up Before You Fall

Life Church · EDMOND, OK Preached Sunday, Sep 6, 2026 Acts 20:7-12

Pastor Robert Moo draws from the account of Eutychus, a young man who fell asleep during Paul's sermon and tumbled from a third-story window, to explore how believers gradually drift from spiritual alertness. He identifies warning signs of spiritual sleepiness—loss of appetite for Scripture, fading conviction, and withdrawal from community—and calls the church to both personal vigilance and the kind of caring accountability that reaches down to those who have fallen. The message closes with the gospel reminder that just as Paul threw himself on Eutychus to restore life, Jesus descended from heaven to give his life so that fallen humanity might live.

Small Group Deep Study Guide

“The sermon made a distinction between capacity and desire — some people want God to pour more into them, but they don't have the capacity to receive it. What are the things that reduce our spiritual capacity? What increases it?”

Pastor's Blog Post

“Nobody in that room went to Eutychus. Nobody said, "Hey, don't sit there. Hey, you're dozing — wake up." And he fell. Since I don't always know when I'm falling asleep spiritually, I need community around me.”
