Awaken Life Church

We have all been called to a mission 💬 but oftentimes we get sidetracked, and allow distractions and discouragement to pull our focus away from what we are called to do 🫣 It’s time for us to Refocus 🧐 and ensure that we remain on mission with the right vision 🤓🙏

Fighting for your family means preparing the next generation to follow Christ after you’re gone 👣 it’s not about telling your family what to do, but about laying a solid foundation upon which your family will be stable 🙏 as we wrap up this series, we’re talking about leaving a legacy of faith. What a legacy it is to raise up a family who continues to serve the Lord 🙌

Every family has wounds 🤕 but grace, forgiveness, and honesty can restore what’s been lost. In fighting for family, we need to heal what has been broken in order to grow stronger 💪 maybe your family has experienced a lot of pain and brokenness, but there is hope 🙏 this Sunday we’re talking about healing and restoration within the family 😌🫂

The strongest families are built on a shared commitment to God, not just shared bloodlines or schedules 🗓️ in fighting for our families, our best defence is being God-centered 🙏 in Part 2 we’re taking a look at how we can build a God-centered home, and unite our family on a solid foundation of His word and truth 📖

Before we fight for anything else in life, we must prioritise fighting for our families — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 with the kids at home for the holidays, we’re taking time to focus on building homes and families that put God first 🙏 it’s clear the enemy is out to break down families, but we won’t sit back and take it. This Sunday we’re starting a 4-part series, Figh...

The result of Pentecost was a Spirit-filled, generous, joy-filled, growing Church 🔥⛪ as we wrap up our series, When Heaven Speaks, we’re going to see that through the Holy Spirit we can change the world, one person at a time 🙏

Pentecost empowered the Church to preach the risen Christ 🙌 as we continue our series, we’ll see that Peter’s sermon reveals the core of the Gospel, and what our mission is 💬 are we ready to accept it? 🔥

This Sunday is Pentecost 🔥 and we’re kicking off a new series about the Holy Spirit and its impact in the life of the Church. The Holy Spirit came in power to a unified and expectant people. And in Part 1 we’ll see that unity is the soil in which the Spirit moves 🙏

Life is like an ocean upon which we sail ⛵sometimes the waters are calm and easy to navigate, but when a storm arrives… it becomes particularly difficult 🌊 are you equipped to to handle the storms of life? Do you have a safe haven to find support in times of trouble? 🛟 in this message we’re going to find hope in how the church can be a place of refuge and help in the middle of storms ⛪

Life can be messy, so can joy really be a constant through the ups and downs? 😅 as we end our series through Philippians, we’ll hear how Paul found joy in every season 😌 and the good news is that we can too 🙌 be encouraged by this message, Part 4: Can’t Steal My Joy 😁

What (or who) is the source of your joy? 🤔 true joy is found in Christ alone, not in religious performance or personal achievements. In part 3 of our series we’re taking a look at how we find joy through faith in Christ 🙏

This week we continue through our study of Philippians 📖 and discover how true joy flows not from pride and self-promotion, but from humility, love, and service 🙏 let’s talk about how we can live out unselfish joy 😌

This month we’re going through the book of Philippians 📖 this is considered a joyful book although it was written from prison. How did Paul remain joyful even in trials? Through this study we'll find out 🧐 we're kicking off this series by looking at having joy no matter what 😄 even in the challenges of life, let's be defiantly joyful 🙏

What is freedom? And are we living in it? 🤔 history has proven over and over again that no political or governmental system in the world can make you truly free. But Jesus has shown us the source of freedom - only in a relationship with the living God one finds true freedom 🙌

Death has been defeated, Jesus is alive!! 🙌 the tomb in which Jesus was laid, which seemed final and hopeless, now lies empty ⚫ a reminder of the power of Christ’s resurrection, and the hope He brings 🙏 as we celebrate together this Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the work of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives ✝️

As we remember the events of the Passover Jesus shared with His disciples before His arrest, we reflect on the events of that evening 😌 let’s spend some time thinking about the connection between the Passover and Jesus, the New Covenant He instituted, and His agony and betrayal 🙏 these significant events leading up to the cross were the fulfilment of prophecy.

Palm Sunday marks a joyful moment, and the fulfilment of prophecy, as Jesus humbly enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey 🫏🌿 but not all the events that took place around this time were joyful. Jesus wept over Jerusalem, and He in righteous anger He cleared out the temple. Let’s take a look at God’s desire for us to willingly turn to Him, and truly worship 🙌

What happens when Jesus doesn't meet our expectations of Him? 🤔 do we sell out, or remain faithful? Judas betrayed Jesus, perhaps due to unmet expectations. And yet, although betrayed, Jesus still remained fully in control. In Part 2 we’re taking a look at two events which revealed the condition of the individual’s heart ❤️ so let’s take a moment to evaluate ours 🙏

In our new series, The Road to Redemption, we are taking a journey through the last days of Jesus leading up to the events of the Easter weekend ✝️ Jesus knew His mission and spoke about it openly. And He was determined to fulfil it despite knowing the suffering ahead 😓 in Part 1: The Beginning of the End, we’ll talk about some moments where Jesus spoke about His upcoming death and resurrection.

Placing your faith in Jesus changes your eternity in an instant ✨ but the other changes—the way we grow in love, faith, and purpose—takes time 😌 so how can you tell if you’re truly being transformed, and not just acting how you think you should? 🤔 we’re ending this series by talking about Production 🎭 vs Connection 🙏 let’s make sure we’re properly connected with the Lord 🙌

Sometimes it’s easy to treat our faith like a negotiation where we try to make a deal with God that if we do our part, we expect Him to do His 🤝 but trusting God means stepping into something much greater than a simple exchange. We don’t leverage our faithfulness for what we can get from God, we choose to be faithful because we love Him ❤️

Between work, family, and everything else, choosing your priorities can be tough 😅 it’s easy to end up with misplaced priorities when we place focus on what works for us, rather than focusing on what matters most 🧐does your life reflect that God is your priority? Let’s talk about whether our lives line up with our words on this matter 💬

Do you pick and choose how you’ll follow Jesus? 🤔 if we’re not careful, we can begin to become selectively obedient… we’ll do some things Jesus requires of us, but there are other areas and things we want to have control over and do our way 👀 those choices will keep us from living in the fullness of a life in Christ. It’s time for us to break the cycle of selective obedience 🙏

We all have an idea of what it means to be “Christian”, but what does following Jesus really mean? 🤔 how do we move past the label and truly live a life of faith in Jesus? Let’s be challenged to step out of our comfort zones in our new series, Christian-ish, and talk about truly following Christ with our lives 🙏

We’ve just had Valentine’s, a day marked to celebrate love 🥰 when it comes to romantic love, we can get all giddy and excited by the emotions we feel for someone 😍 but how do we walk in love in our relationship and work towards a healthy, loving and lasting marriage 👩‍❤️‍👨 our goal in a romantic relationship should be to live out a love that lasts ❤️
