Awaken Life Church

This Sunday we’re beginning our new series, Journey to the Cross ✝️ over the next few weeks we’ll be taking a look at some key moments that took place before Christ’s crucifixion. In one of His miracles, Jesus foreshadowed that He is the resurrection 📖 but this event also set the wheels in motion for the plotting of His death 🙏

Church is? Family! 🥰 church community is more than just a Sunday morning get-together - it's about doing life together, and being a family ❤️ in our series we’ve been speaking about how we are Better Together, and what better place to find community than with those sitting next to you every Sunday? 👥 as we close this series, may you be challenged to connect and get involved with the life of...

Life is filled with challenges 😓 but we don’t have to face them alone. In fact, it is better to have someone on our side to see us through 👥 in Part 2 of our series we’re talking about Struggling Together, and we’ll see that when we are in community, we have support 💪

We were not meant to do life alone, that’s why we all desire to be part of a community or have some sort of connection 🤝 we’re kicking off our new series, Better Together, by taking a look at why relationships are so important 🫂 invite or share this with a family member or friend, and let’s talk about why we’re Not Good Alone 👤

We are called to do more than just attend church and quietly read our Bibles at home 😌 God has called us to partner with Him in His heavenly vision 🤝 the question is: Will you accept the call and obey? 👀 this Sunday pastor and missionary Jamie Peters is sharing the word on doing something for God with our lives 🙌

Over the past few weeks we’ve been talking about some faith-based principles and practices that ripple into our lives 💬 but there’s one thing that causes the ultimate ripple effect… This one practice has changed lives, set slaves free, motivated artists, influenced nations, and it has drawn millions to Jesus ❤️ done right, this one thing never fails 🙏 join us for this series finale.

We’ve been talking about faith based principles that have a ripple effect in our lives, but one thing ties them all together, and that is faithfulness 😌 our commitment to being faithful will ripple and produce results 👏 this Sunday we’ll see how being faithful in the big and small things will have a lasting impact 💥

Have you ever stopped to consider how seemingly small actions can have a major impact? 🤔 this week we’re looking at the important ripple effect caused by prayer 🙏 when we devote ourselves to prayer, things begin to change, more specifically, your perspective changes 👀 let’s be challenged to intentionally make prayer a bigger part of our lives 😌

Faith based principles aren’t only beneficial for our spiritual well-being, but these ripple into other areas of our lives 😌 in Part 1 of our new series, we’re taking a look at how the Word transforms us 📖 may you be challenged to make choices this year that will cause a positive ripple effect 💧

It’s a new year and we’re excited about the opportunities that await us in 2024! 😁 as we enter a new year, many look ahead and set goals for self-improvement 📝 this isn’t a bad thing, but have we misplaced our priorities? 🤔 this Sunday we’ll see how focusing on one area could help us make this our year 🌳

That’s a wrap on 2023! 🎬 we’ve reached the end of the year, and we’re grateful that the Lord has carried us through 🙌 this Sunday we’re reflecting on God’s faithfulness, and being reminded of some important things as we move forward into the new year ✨

It’s Christmas! 🎄 and we’re ending our Advent series with joy as we celebrate the birth of Jesus 😄✨ He is the fulfilment and embodiment of hope, peace, love, and joy - and through Him we can experience joy in every season 🙌 

In the third week of our series we’re celebrating the advent of love ❤️ love is an important part of our lives, and of God’s story 📖 so let’s talk about how Jesus embodied love, and taught us how to love others as well 🥰

Peace is something we desire, but it is oftentimes something we lack. Where can we find true peace? 🤔 this Sunday we’re talking about how Jesus is the fulfilment of peace 🙏 and it is only through Him that the world will one day be at peace 😌

It’s officially the Christmas season 🎄 and on this first Sunday of December, we’re starting a new series called The Great Expectation ✨ in this four-part series we will reflect on the hope, peace, love and joy that we have in the season of Advent 🕯️in Part 1 we’re reflecting on the hope we have in Jesus 🙏

What does it mean to live out our faith? 🤔 this Sunday we’re talking about making our faith known in the way we live, and through our actions 🙏 one of the ways we do this is through baptism, and at the end of the sermon we’re celebrating with those who have made the decision to be baptised and declare their faith 🙌

The third chapter of Habakkuk is one of the most beautiful and heart-felt declarations of worship before a mighty God in a confusing world 🙌 this Sunday we’re wrapping up this book study 📖 and we’ll see how we learn to trust God and His ways when we turn to Him in troubling times, and respond to His faithfulness by praising Him with songs of salvation 🎶

This Sunday we’re taking a look at God’s second response to Habakkuk 💬 which includes a vision that gives him perspective on what’s happening and five woes to those who will experience God’s judgement. As uncomfortable as God’s responses might be, may we find encouragement as we seek to gain God’s perspective and have Clear Vision 🤓

After God’s response to his first lament, Habakkuk lifts his voice again 🗣️ but this time calling God’s attention to the unending pain that his people are suffering at the hand of their oppressors. How do we respond to God when it seems that our suffering is larger than we ever thought possible? This Sunday is Part 3 of our series, and we’re talking about having difficult conversations with God.

Last week we spoke about Habakkuk’s first complaint to God, and in Part 2 we’re taking a look at God’s unexpected answer 💬 join us as we see how God is always at work 💪 even if we can’t make sense of it at first 😅

What do we do when we face trouble and injustice? 🧐 the Hebrew prophet Habakkuk faced circumstances not very different from us, and there are lessons we can learn from how he wrestled with God, and listened to Him. This Sunday we’re starting a new series on the book of Habakkuk 📖 in Part 1 we’ll see how Habakkuk cried out to God, and that God is able to handle our doubts and questions 💬

We all have the capacity to influence the people around us 👥 the question is, what kind of influence are we having? 🤔 in this message we’ll be talking about being the catalyst for positive change, and how we can achieve this 😌

The world is filled with challenges 😅 and if we are not careful, we’ll become depleted, disheartened, and fall asleep in our spirits 😴 if we’re not seeking Jesus on a daily basis, and receiving strength from the Holy Spirit, we will find ourselves unprepared for Christ’s return 😳 as we wrap up our series, we’re reminded that we need the resilience given by the Spirit to endure the days ahead 🙏

Developing resilience requires us to take action. We need to apply and develop certain habits to ensure that we are communing with God on a daily basis 🙏 releasing our burdens in His presence, and receiving His strength and endurance 💪 how do we do this? Find out as we’re given a Daily Prescription to help us be resilient 📝

We all have bad habits and sinful tendencies, these are a symptom of our fallen nature 😓 it’s important that we identify these areas and Realign them with God’s will 🙏 until we do, they will continue to weigh us down 🙅‍♂️ In Part 4 of our Resilient series we’re talking about how we cannot live in the new life He gives us if we remain attached to our old life 🤝
