Awaken Westchester Church

What we choose to pay attention to shapes our reality. Learn how to overcome the many obstacles in life that take our attention away from the life of peace, hope, and joy that Christ desires us to live.

Living by wisdom is God's greatest desire for our lives. In order to live into God's wisdom, we are invited to move beyond our pride and ego and embody the way of Jesus. Join this week as we look at what stands in our way of living by wisdom and see how we can overcome these obstacles.

Uncertainty and aimless wandering is something we all face. How do we move forward in the midst of such unsettling times? And how do we follow God when we can't discern where the Spirit is leading us. Join us this week as we look at how wandering is an inevitable part of the human journey and how we can keep moving forward despite the fog surrounding us.

This week, we begin our series on The Odyssey, the story of Odysseus's ten year journey home. We'll explore how Odysseus's longing for home and restoration is a universal human longing and how Jesus leads us home with grace and a never-ending commitment to our restoration.

The Didache Part 2

How to see and experience the power of resurrection in a world of cynicism and rational thinking.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd welcomes him with cheering and excitement. That enthusiasm soon faded as they realized Jesus would not fulfill their expectations of a Messiah. Join us this Palm Sunday as we reflect on how our expectations of Jesus and God's Kingdom align with the true picture of God Jesus embodied.

Jesus's life was one of constant boundary violations. He upset the current religious leaders time after time as he embodied a God of grace. As we look to Jesus, we discover how we are made pure by grace rather than moral performance and how we are to then view each other in light of the cross.

The cross reveals a co-suffering God who is with us in pain and suffering. Listen as Dave reflects on how the cross revolutionizes our understanding on the true nature of God.

At the cross, Jesus revolutionizes the idea of sacrifice and invites us into a new way forward. Listen this week as we look at how the cross tells a new story about humanity and how we are to build our lives on a foundation of love and compassion.

Our Lenten series on the cross begins this week! Listen as we look at how the cross corrects our faulty understandings of God by showing us the truest picture of a God who is endlessly committed to his creation with boundless love and presence.

This week, we look at a parable where Jesus shows what true love looks like. It's a conscious decision to step toward someone in need and place dignity and compassion at the center. Together, we'll see how love never walks past human suffering.

Why are we here? What's to be our main purpose in life? Join us as we look to the person of Jesus as a model for leading us into a life that is full and deeply satisfying.
