Washed: Part 2 | Pastor Kayla Massey

In this sermon Pastor Kayla explores slothfulness (or acedia) as a subtle sin of apathy, avoidance, and resistance to God's call—often masked as laziness, procrastination, or fear-driven inaction. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, it shows how failing to steward what God entrusts (even small things) wastes gifts, weakens resistance to other sins, and distorts our view of true joy. The antidote is fortitude: God-given perseverance expressed through immediate obedience, reliance on Him, resilience in discomfort, and repentance. Ultimately, faithful stewardship in daily life positions us to be trusted with more and experience lasting joy in God's presence.
