Biblical hope isn’t wishful thinking or a feeling. It is a confident expectation or assurance based on a sure foundation in Jesus Christ. We are meant to live with great anticipation that something wonderful is about to happen. Let hope reinterpret your circumstances.

Burn the Ships is a call to radical trust—a moment to leave behind not just what weighs us down, but what we’ve secretly trusted more than God. On Shredder Sunday, we confront both the weights that crush us and the sin that trips us up, naming the fears, reports, patterns, and beliefs that have kept us stuck. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message reveals a consistent biblical trut...

In order to truly trust God, you must surrender what you’ve been trusting instead of Him. One of the great through-lines of Scripture is this: God’s calling always involves leaving something significant behind. Not after clarity. Not after certainty. But before. Leaving is not loss. Leaving is trust in motion. Some people don’t struggle to believe in God. They struggle to stop believing in the thi...

The Christmas Story is about heaven's intervention into the history and the destiny of mankind! Mankind sinned against God in Eden and were cast out of Eden and mankind on a continuous trajectory away from God until Christ came and redeemed all. Now instead of the destiny of a lost eternity, we have eternal life in Heaven with God!

We often misunderstand seasons, expecting constant harvest when sometimes God has us in winter—a season of rest, trust, and investment rather than visible fruit. Winter doesn’t mean something is wrong; it means the soil is resting, roots are deepening, and pruning is happening to make room for future growth. Just as farmers rest the land, tend the vines, and repair their tools in winter, God uses...

So often when we worry or are confused we go to the world for answers. Or we go to works to try and force the hand of God. In the story of the prodigal son, both brothers miss out on the blessing in the house for different reasons. Seek God first and watch His grace and blessing fill your life.

The great test and struggle of this life on earth is to walk in sync with heaven. When our lives are in sync we experience God’s hand of blessing and heaven flows to earth in our lives. When we are out of sync, we miss God’s best for our lives.

The Holy Spirit wants to partner with us to reach the lost by spending us on Rescue Missions for the Kingdom of God. This message will ignite a fresh passion for seeing the lost saved and set free!

This sermon dives into the honest tension between a loving God and the painful realities we face. Using Matthew 14, we reveal how Jesus meets us in grief, multiplies what we offer Him, and calls us to trust Him in storms we didn’t choose. It’s a message about becoming unoffendable and finding peace beyond understanding.

Don’t let fear and looking back keep you from the Legacy God has for you. Pastor Tessa Fuller reminds us that God’s promises are always ahead of us, never behind us. When we stop rehearsing old doubts and release the grip of yesterday’s disappointments, we make room for His grace to pull us boldly into our future. Legacy isn’t something we stumble into—it’s something we step into with courage, con...

Dr. Matt reminds us that when we tune our hearts to hear the Lord, we step into clarity, confidence, and divine direction. As we silence the noise and lean into His whisper, we invite God’s presence to guide our steps with wisdom and peace. This message calls us to live with awakened discernment so we can recognize His voice and follow it boldly.

When we are grateful, we attract favor and blessing. When we criticize, condemn and complain, we repel. We need to continually choose an attitude of gratitude in all circumstances. When we have a heart of thankfulness and praise we attract God's presence and power. God's presence is our eternal blessing!

There used to be a very popular board game called “snakes and ladders” where it was a race to the finish, first finished wins the game. Ladders accelerated your climb, whereas the snakes caused you to lose territory. In this powerful message, Ps. Jurgen takes about this Biblical principle. 

Acts 1:8 says, “You shall receive power.” We only believe in one ghost here at Awaken, and that is the Holy Ghost. He won’t hurt you; he will help you. He’s not a ghost you should run from, but rather you should run to Him!

In Psalm 126, God is revealed as the God who restores the fortunes squandered by previous generations through idolatrous living. Many generations have to seemingly ‘begin again’ because the poor choices, vices, and infidelities of the previous generations. However, there is a God who is above that and who delights in restoring the fortunes to those who call upon His name!

God's will doesn't just happen. Yes God created everything and is sovereign, but it takes Christians taking authority to enforce the will of God.
