Awakening Church

What if I told you there is something more valuable than gold and even better than being smart. We have more technology, more information and more education yet many people are not thriving. Why? Because wisdom is the essential ingredient for navigating life well and flourishing. Where do you find wisdom? Join us as we kick off our basic series with discovering where wisdom is found.

You’re invited — Awakening is turning 5! It is hard to believe it has already been 5 years and we’re going to throw a big bash to celebrate.

We exist… Have you ever wondered: Why the church? Why did God choose a group of imperfect people to express His perfect love to hurting world? More specifically, why Awakening Church? What will be our impact? What will be our legacy? As we close our series Irresistible, we look to the future of the church and our role in being an irresistible movement to awaken this generation to new life in Jesus.

You are made for more. You are created to make an impact. You have a purpose and you play an important part in bringing heaven to earth. This week we welcome guest speakers Jimmy and Genea Horner as they share how we can join God in what He is doing.

The early church was incredibly diverse ethnically, socially, economically and politically. As theologian Scot McKnight describes, it was a fellowship of differents and unlikes. Uniting this fellowship of differents was their unwavering belief in Jesus. The unity of belief in diversity made the early church irresistible and unstoppable. Why does what we believe divide rather than unite the church? How do we return to this irresistible movement of a fellowship of differents?

The church in America is messy for all the wrong reasons. As a result the church ends up turning people away from Jesus rather than toward Jesus. Completely resistible. This was never what the church was intended to be. What does it look like to be a messy church for the right reasons? How can we once more return to an irresistible community for a hurting and broken world?

Our hearts easily drift from God, which is why we need worship. For it is in worship we are reminded that His heart never drifted from us. As we close out this series, we are diving into the last Psalm with our guest preacher, Josh Fox. Join us to discover how to worship and experience the heart of God.

Have you ever looked around and wondered why is life so unfair? Why do I struggle, while others get ahead? Why even follow God? What do you do with the pain, the confusion, the anger? This week we look at a raw, honest prayer that many would not dare to pray. Join us this week as we look at the power of our perspective and the invitation of God to bring all of ourselves to Him.

When life gets hard we often lose perspective. When the waves of adversity roll in one after another it can feel like there is no hope and no end in sight. How do you regain perspective in the storms of life? How do you experience peace in the storms of life?

We all long to change, to grow, to experience life transformation. Sometimes we try quick fixes or self-help books and other times we just give up trying altogether. How do you truly experience life-change that last? What is the secret to becoming the person you long to be and who God made you to be? In this session we are going to discover one critical ingredient to experience personal transformation.
