Words have power: the power to heal, to wound, to tear down, to build up, to encourage, or discourage. So much so that the Bible says our words are a matter of life or death.

If you want to react like Jesus, you must regularly interact with Jesus.

Today at Awakening we’ll be joined by guest speaker Chris Nye. He will be reminding us of this simple yet powerful promise:

When we seek God, we don’t have to cross our fingers that He will be found. He will be found — Scripture has promised it!

“We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” – C.S. Lewis

Join us for a special message this Sunday as Ryan interviews former NFL star Eric Frampton.

The friendships in your life will determine the potential of your life. Who are you surrounding yourself with? Who makes up your tribe? You’re only as strong as the quality of friends you allow into your life. Yet, what exactly makes a good friend?

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” – Seneca. There is more in you than you think there is. You have incredible potential locked inside of you. Did you know that God placed greatness in you? And one of the greatest tragedies in life is to die with potential. How do you realize your God-given potential?

Join us as we study the life of Israel’s greatest king: David, an unlikely shepherd boy who became a great warrior and king. One known for being a man after God’s heart yet had major personal failures and flaws that ultimately undermined his potential.

It’s hard to believe that 2018 is already upon us. A new year with new possibilities is right around the corner. As we dive into the new year we want to help you get a fresh vision for your life and for the year. Join us Sunday, January 7th to hear about Awakening’s vision for 2018 and the key role you play in this!

Would it be amazing to know the future? We live in trying times with anxiety looming at every corner. You cannot turn on the TV without another stressful report on our world’s turbulent times. Yet, as Christians, we have hope. God has an amazing plan for your life and you do not want to miss it.

Why did God become a man? Couldn’t he have come in another way? A pervasive thought in our culture today is at our core, humanity is basically good. If we are instinctively good, it should reason that we would be getting better as a society. However, when one looks at the world today it is not looking good at all. It is this reality that leads us to the significance of why God became a man and why the Christmas story is really good news.
