Week 1 Wake Up To Hope

Advent begins with a call: Wake up. Pay attention. Lift your eyes. Hope is moving toward you.

Isaiah dreams of a day when nations stop fighting long enough to learn peace. Paul says it’s time to throw off the things that dull our hearts. Jesus reminds us to persevere and draw close to Him with faithfulness as we await His certain arrival.

This isn't a season of frantic preparation. It’s a season of holy awareness.

A season to remember that God comes close in real time, real places, real lives—yours included.

Hope isn’t passive. It’s active, alert, and looking for God’s light on the horizon.

This week, ask: Where is God inviting me to wake up? Where do I need to step into His light?

Advent doesn’t begin with answers. It begins with anticipation.
