On our 21st Birthday weekend, i thought it would be fitting to preach a message on how the call of God has built me! How saying YES in obedience to God has built me to become the leader that AWAKEN needs me to be! Had I not said YES and put my hand to the PLOW  I would NOT be where I am today, nor WHO I am today!

The House That Built Me by Ps Matt Tuggle is about how God prepares us for everything He has called us to carry. Through the foundation, the renovation, and the expansion, we’ll discover how God uses the unseen seasons, the uncomfortable seasons, and the stretching seasons to increase our capacity for His Kingdom. God isn’t downsizing your future… He’s building you to carry more.

God has a purpose for your life, but sometimes the greatest thing standing in the way is our own resistance. In this message, Ps. Mike Yeager unpacks Paul’s encounter with Jesus and shows us what can happen when we stop fighting God and fully surrender to what He’s been calling us into all along.

In this message, Ps Jake celebrates Awaken’s 21st birthday by exploring the life Jesus came to give us—a life He paid for through His death and resurrection. A life that trusts God, discovers purpose, lives in His presence, and releases the Kingdom of God.

In this powerful message, we’re challenged to rediscover the beauty, purpose, and importance of the local church and what it means to truly be planted in the house of God. Through personal testimony and biblical teaching, this message explores how the church doesn’t just witness our transformation—it helps build us into disciples who are rooted, surrendered, and ready to fulfill God’s purpose.

God spent two chapters on the galaxies and fifty on a tent. That’s not an accident — it’s an announcement. This week we walk the courtyard of the tabernacle: one gate, an altar on fire, and a basin made out of mirrors… finding ourselves in it, and the Substance that the shadow of the tabernacle was always pointing to Dwell with Me. Part 1

You are God’s divine design—masterfully created, built to flourish, designed for relationship, proven through adversity, capable of restoration, and ultimately dependent upon His power to become fully alive.

This message is about learning to trust God in the process of becoming who He created us to be, even when fear, uncertainty, and difficult circumstances make us want to hold back. Through surrender, community, and faithful obedience, we discover that God is working in us even when we cannot yet see what He is doing, and that sometimes the next step of faith begins with simply asking, “Why not now?”

In this message, Ps. Samuel explores the powerful role the house of God plays in shaping who we are, teaching us surrender, giving everyone a part to play, and helping generations grow together. Discover what it means to live as a contributor rather than a consumer, to be quick to forgive, honor one another, and always leave a seat at the table for someone new. 

God is calling us to be built different than the average Joe. But to do that, you have a part to play. Ps Jon discusses his experiences at Awaken that helped to build him different.
