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).

Pastor Jordan Boyce is sharing a powerful message on communion and what it truly means to come to the Lord’s Table.📝 Notes Communion is not just a symbol; it is very spiritual and sacred and when we participate in communion, we may not understand all that God is doing in it because it is also a divine mystery.Join us as we explore what it truly means to remember, recognize, and receive Jesus Christ at the Lord’s Table.🕊️ Key Highlights 1. 🫀 It is a Symbol & Yet More Than a Symbol — Communion is ancient, mysterious, and given by Christ for us. Catholics call it Real Presence, Orthodox call it Holy Mystery, Wesley called it a Means of Grace — it is supernatural. 2. 🐑 Humanity Lost Life in a Meal & Receives Life in a Meal — From Adam & Eve at the tree to Jesus saying “This is my body” at the cross, the gospel arc runs through what we eat and why. Jesus is our Passover Lamb. 3. 👁️ There Is Divine Revelation at the Lord’s Table — The disciples on the Road to Emmaus walked with the risen Jesus and didn’t recognize Him — until He broke bread. “Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him.” Luke 24:30 4. 🌾 Christianity Is Not About What We Can Get From God — It’s About What He Has Already Given — The miracle of the 5,000 became the obsession, not the Man. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Just Jesus is more than enough. 5. 🙌 When We Participate in Communion, We Remember, Recognize & Receive Jesus Christ — Re-enter the experience. Confess before you consume. Partake and invite His healing, help, and holiness.📖 Scriptures ReferencedLuke 22:14–20 • 1 Cor 11:23–24 • 1 Cor 11:27 • 1 Cor 5:7 • Luke 24:15 • Luke 24:30 • John 6:35 • Matthew 14 • Psalm 34:8 • Revelation 19:9 • Romans 10:9
