The world around is is unstable. This isn't something new, it's just new events that create unstableness around us. We become what we listen to. If we're grabbing onto what is shaking around us, we will eventually crumble with these things.

We need to become people who grab on to the unshakeable Kingdom of God.

Pastor Chris unpacks this thought out of Hebrews in which the writer of Hebrews calls people to rise up, and not bow down to the pressure.

Pastor Rob continues our focus 'Kingdom Come' by looking at David and the Ark of the Covenant in 2 Samuel.

Often, we are focussed on how the world does things, instead of looking at How God would expect us to conduct ourselves.

Pastor Gordon Moore finishes our focus 'At The Table' with a message looking at the idea of what wavelength are you on?

Just like older radios that you had to dial in to the specific frequency, we can tune in to God. That frequency for us to listen in to is Jesus. God has already said everything to us through Jesus. The question is - are you tuned in?

Pastor Rob takes a deeper look into the book of Romans, looking at the context and key thoughts of the book and what this means for us today.

As Pastor Chris continues our focus 'At The Table', he looks at how we have an opportunity to respond to Gods invitation.

Part of the invitation is what we hear from Carli in her story - connecting with people and finding your place in the House of God will radically shift your relationship with God in the best way possible.

This week, we launched a new focus 'At The Table' which looks at what a healthy church looks like. Jesus often did ministry and discipleship around the table. It wasn't always in large gatherings or in a church building even. 

Pastor Chris sits down with Hariata, our Connect Pastor here at Awaken City to talk about why connection is so important.

As we celebrate Father's Day, Pastor Chris sat down with a few fathers in the house to talk about fatherhood - from who they look up to, and lessons they've learnt along the journey.

Pastor Chris finishes off the morning looking at how God chose to be known to us as Father and what that actually looks like for us today.

David had mighty men around him. These men would do amazing things to aid David in his role.

God moves in us as we choose to stand our ground. God works through us - but He works in us only if we are willing to respond to what He is leading us into.

God has called you to be mighty. Stand where others have fled. Choose to follow the one King that is worth following.

When we are detached, we become different people. 

Pastor Rob brings a word in our Focus 'Lean In' from John 15 and remaining in Christ.

We have a choice to make as we go about our weeks - we can choose to be involved with social media, the news and other things like that, OR we can choose to be in Christ. Get into the Word of God, listen to worship and engage our Hearts with His heart.
