Watchfulness and Spiritual Decline - Luke 21:29–22:13 | April 23, 2026
Apr 2300:12:14Tap to summarizeJoin Pastor Stephen Mizell and co-hosts Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream for today's lesson from One Single Story. We are in Luke 21:29 through 22:13, where Jesus uses the fig tree parable to call his followers to spiritual awareness, then the passage shifts into the account of Judas's betrayal and the sobering reality that proximity to Jesus does not guarantee a genuine relationship with him. In this episode we explore how prayer sharpens spiritual discernment, why small compromises quietly become big ones, and what it looks like to drift from God without even realizing it. As today's conversation reminds us, "Spiritual decline is not an event. It is over time."
