Awakening Church

Christmas is an amazing time of the year. It is a season when we celebrate peace on earth and good will toward others. But in truth, our own journey often involves uncertainty, fear and times of confusion. If we are really honest, it can even feel like heaven is silent in the most “wonderful” time of the year. Where is God when heaven is silent? What if the Christmas story actually speaks to the deepest needs and longings of our heart? What if the Christmas story answers the question: Where is God when heaven is silent?

Join us as we learn about practice of gratitude and celebrate what the Lord is doing in our lives and in our community.

There are unseen laws of nature that govern our daily existence. For example, the law of gravity affects us every day but we rarely think about it. It doesn’t matter if we are aware or unaware of gravity, we still have to live within its bounds. Just as well, there are unseen laws of generosity that impact our everyday life. Whether or not we live by them, these laws directly impact our lives and those around us for better or for worse.

I want you to take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Get settled. Allow the stress of the week to fade away. Now I want you to imagine what it would look like for you to be financial free. What would it really look like for you to have financial freedom? Now, what if you could actually experience financial freedom today? What if financial freedom is actually found in the paradox of generosity?

We believe the church should lead the way in unleashing extravagant generosity to a hurting and broken world because we have an extravagantly generous God.

Generosity makes the world a better place. It improves the life of the receiver and enhances the life of the giver. Yet somehow, generosity remains far too uncommon in our world today. Instead, our culture craves and pursues more at every turn. We seek happiness by directing most of our resources towards our own pursuits: security, possessions, experiences, pleasure, and luxury. There’s something underneath the surface of our lives that drives our behavior, something that causes us to cling tighter to things that won’t ultimately satisfy. With this backdrop in mind, the Bible calls us to a counter-culture way of living, a kind of living that only emerges when we adopt a radically new perspective.

Every single person longs to be loved deeply, as well as to know and be known intimately. In our culture we often confuse sex with love and separate God from the equation. However, the deep longing for intimacy persists and is left unfulfilled. Could there be an intrinsic connection between love, sex and God that we have often overlooked and misunderstood? If this connection exists, then, could it hold the spark of true intimacy that we long for?

How do we experience a healthy, vibrant, love relationship for our entire life? There is an insidious lie about relationships that has been widely accepted as fact. Few have taken time to examine the implications and so undermining the success of their relationships. Join us this week as we look at the compatibility myth and how to set up your relationships for success.
