Pastor Nate Kosiba is preaching on being Carriers of the Name and Presence!

📝 Notes:

The church’s greatest gift is not what it accumulates, but what it carries, the power of Jesus’ name and presence. In Acts 3, Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth, surrounded by the beauty and wealth of the temple, yet still broken. The world is full of resources, yet still in need. What the church carried then, it still carries today.

This moment was not chance. It was the result of a lifestyle. Carriers of the power of Jesus live with rhythm, awareness, and bold faith. They position themselves in prayer, stop for people, know what they carry, and refuse to take credit.

🕊️ Key Highlights:

• Carriers of the power of Jesus maintain a consistent habit of prayer and position themselves to receive from God.

• Faithful rhythm creates space for God to move, and often the miracle happens along the way, not because it was pursued.

• To carry the presence of God, we must be willing to stop, see people, and not rush past need.

• Before anything changes, someone has to be seen, because seeing people matters before speaking into their situation.

• The church does not exist to offer temporary solutions, but to bring the lasting power of Jesus that truly heals.

• As believers, we must understand what we carry, the authority, power, and presence found in the name of Jesus.

• Faith requires action, and we are called to speak and step out before we see the evidence.

• When the power of Jesus moves, it brings complete transformation, restoring body, soul, and access to God.

• Carriers of the presence always refuse the credit and point people back to Jesus.

Awakening Church is preaching: Together, Filled, Rested.

📝 Notes:

In Acts 2, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit did not happen in isolation; it happened in unity. The disciples were together in one place, postured in obedience and expectation. In that environment, the Spirit of God filled the house and rested on each of them. God moves powerfully where there is unity, hunger, and availability. We are reminded that gathering matters, being filled is ongoing, and true rest is found not in striving, but in the presence of God. When we position ourselves together, the Spirit fills and rests on us, empowering us to live from overflow, not exhaustion.

🕊️ Key Highlights:

• They were all together in one placeUnity creates space for God to move

• You heal best when you are not aloneWe are called to rejoice and weep together

• Gathering is essentialFaith was never meant to be lived in isolation

• God wants to fill and refill youBeing filled with the Spirit is ongoing

• Stop striving and start receivingBe ready for His Spirit

• The Holy Spirit is looking for a place to restAre you open and available

Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching The Ascension: Hurry Up and Wait📝 Notes: The Book of Acts begins not with movement, but with waiting. Before the disciples could go into the world empowered by the Holy Spirit, Jesus commanded them to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father. Waiting on God is not wasted time. It is where God forms character, deepens trust, refines purpose, and prepares His people for what only He can provide through the Holy Spirit. Throughout Scripture, God consistently works through seasons of waiting to shape lives into His masterpiece. In a culture driven by hurry, distraction, and meaningless movement, believers are called to actively wait through prayer, devotion, and trust in God’s timing. The same God who fulfilled His promise at Pentecost still works suddenly and powerfully in the lives of those who wait on Him today.🕊️ Key Highlights:• The first act of the apostles was to waitNot rush ahead• Waiting on God is not wasted timeIt is preparation• God forms and refines us in waitingTrust the process• Waiting is an active actionPray, seek, inquire• Before the disciples could goThey had to receive• Meaningless movement creates exhaustionGod’s presence renews strength• Don’t force what God has not releasedObedience is better than sacrifice• God’s promises arrive in God’s timingTrust His process• You serve the God of suddenlysThe day will arrive📖 Scriptures Referenced:Acts 1:1–14 • Luke 24:49 • Philippians 1:6 • Isaiah 40:28–31 • John 1:51 • Micah 7:7 • Philippians 4:6 • 1 Samuel 30:7–8 • 1 Samuel 13:12 • Acts 2:1–2

Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching The Ascension: What Now?📝 Notes: Jesus did not call His followers to stand still and wait. He empowered them with His Spirit and sent them to continue His mission on the Earth. God has already given you gifts, purpose, and opportunity. Don’t wait for someone else to step in. Start now. Faith grows in motion, and God increases those who faithfully represent Him.🕊️ Key Highlights:• God empowers your assignmentYou have been given power for purpose• Friction produces growthObstacles often become opportunities• Stop waiting on GodGod may be waiting on you• Invest what God gave youFaith requires action• Ministry starts at homeBe a witness where you are• You grow as you goFaith strengthens in obedience• Your story mattersA changed life is a powerful testimony• Don’t stand stillStart now📖 Scriptures Referenced: Acts 1:6–11 • Colossians 1:29 • Matthew 25 • James 2:17 • 1 Chronicles 4:10 • Acts 4:20 • Philippians 4:9 • Psalm 145:4

Pastor Jordan Boyce is preaching The Ascension: The Great Commission📝 Notes: The Great Commission is for every Christian. Even in moments of doubt, Jesus calls us to go, make disciples, and partner with Him. Faith is strengthened in action, not just understanding. We are not spectators. We are the Church, called to live it out, lead others, and trust that He is with us every step.🕊️ Key Highlights:• Faith and doubt can coexistWorship anyway• The mission is yoursYou are the Church• Action grows faithGo to grow• Disciples make disciplesLive it, lead others• Keep it simpleJust go• Jesus is with youYou are not alone📖 Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 28:16–20 • Ephesians 4:11–12 • Mark 9:24 • John 14:12 • 1 Corinthians 11:1 • 1 Corinthians 11:23

The Ascension: "Do you love me?" The question that restores - David de la Cruz | Awakening Church Notes: After the resurrection, Jesus meets Peter in his failure and restores him. Three questions replace shame with purpose, calling him into deeper devotion. No failure disqualifies us. Jesus forgives, restores, and calls us to follow Him fully. Key Highlights:• Jesus restores after failurePeter’s denial is met with grace, not shame. Jesus brings restoration right where he fell• “Do you love me?” is the central questionIt reveals what we value most and gets to the heart of true discipleship• Forgiveness leads to purposeJesus doesn’t just forgive Peter, He recommissions him to “feed my sheep”• Love for Jesus is total, not partialLoving Him means surrendering every part of our lives, not just pieces• Restored people walk differentlyWe follow Him daily, obey His Word, and love what He loves—people and His mission Scriptures Referenced: John 21:15–17 • John 21:9 • John 18:18 • Micah 7:18–19 • Psalm 103:10–12 • Matthew 4:18–22 • Luke 5:1–11 • Romans 5:10–11 • Zechariah 10:6 • Deuteronomy 6:5 • Matthew 22:37 • Psalm 119:97 • John 14:15 • John 15:4–5 • John 14:31 • Luke 19:10 • James 5:16

Pastor Nate is preaching The Ascension: From Grief to Resurrection Hope.

We’re continuing our Ascension series in Luke 24, where two disciples walk in grief and disappointment after the cross. On the road, Jesus meets them, brings clarity through Scripture, and restores their hope through His presence.

🕊️ Key Highlights:

Jesus meets us in grief, not after it. On the road to Emmaus, Jesus draws near in the middle of disappointment, not after it’s resolved.

Disappointment often comes from misplaced expectations. “We had hoped” reveals how unmet expectations can distort our view of Jesus and lead us away from where God is working.

God’s presence comes before understanding. Jesus walks with them before revealing Himself, showing that we experience His presence before we gain clarity.

Scripture reframes our pain through God’s bigger story. Jesus reveals that suffering was not the end, but part of God’s redemptive plan pointing to resurrection

Revelation of Jesus restores hope and redirects our lives. When their eyes are opened, their hope is revived and they return with purpose, becoming witnesses of the resurrection

Pastor Jordan is bringing a powerful message titled “My Lord, My God — Thomas: From Fear to Faith.”

Today we’re walking through the journey from the resurrection to the ascension — from locked doors and fear… to bold faith and personal revelation.

📝 Notes: God moves us from fear to faith by revealing the risen Jesus, who speaks peace into our fears and calls us into real, personal faith.

🕊️ Key Highlights:

Jesus meets us in our fear and speaks peace, not pressure

Peace is not just a feeling, it’s found in a Person

Fear tries to push us away from God, but Jesus steps toward us anyway

Doubt doesn’t disqualify you, it can lead you to deeper faith

God is patient and intentional, He will meet you where you are

Faith often grows over time, not all at once

What Thomas declared is what we’re invited into — “My Lord and my God”

This is not just about believing in Jesus, but surrendering to Him

Pastor Jordan Boyce is sharing a powerful message on the three gardens of Scripture -- Eden, Gethsemane, and the Garden Tomb -- and how Easter is the story of God pursuing humanity back into His presence.

📝 Notes:

Easter is the story of God restoring what was lost in Eden and inviting humanity back into life with Him through Jesus. Walk through the three gardens of Scripture and discover what it means to hear God calling your name and run back to Him. 🌿

🕊️ Key Highlights:"The original intent for man was to dwell with God in a Garden." The human heart longs for Eden -- and Easter is God's answer to that longing.

God wants to be with you. The question echoing through Scripture is still being asked today: "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?" (John 18:26)

Sin creates distance. Peter's denial -- "I do not know the man" -- mirrors the way we drift from God when we live as though He isn't real.

Grace goes first. Jesus looked at Peter with eyes of grace, not judgment, before Peter ever repented. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)

The call is personal. At the resurrection, Jesus said, "Go tell his disciples -- and Peter." God calls you by name, no matter how far you've run.

Pastor Jordan Boyce is sharing a powerful message on the blood of Christ and what it means for our lives.

📝 Notes

The blood of Jesus brings life, redemption, and forgiveness. From the Passover lamb to Abraham’s promised sacrifice, Scripture shows that Christ is the true Lamb whose blood was poured out for all people. His sacrifice cleanses, protects, and opens the door to salvation, and when we apply it through faith, prayer, and repentance, we experience the power and promise of God at work in our lives.

🕊️ Key Highlights

• “This is my blood of the covenant… poured out for many” (Mark 14:24). Jesus gave His blood as the atonement for our sin.

• “The life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). The central truth: “The Blood of Jesus Brings Life (to His People).”

• Jesus is the true Passover Lamb. “When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13).

• The blood must be applied. Through confession, repentance, and prayer, we receive redemption through His blood.

• Christ secured redemption once and for all. “With his own blood… he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time” (Hebrews 9:12).
