The most important and often missing ingredient in a relationship is honor. Embracing a culture of honor is required for us to experience the kind of relationship we desperately long to have. With honor, relationships can weather the storms of life and soar to new heights. Without honor, relationships struggle, limp along and ultimately deteriorate.

Discover how to cultivate intimacy in marriage and prepare for intimacy when single.

We are addressing one text that has been abused and misused in the church. It’s a text about marriage — more specifically, a text about the idea of submission. What does the Bible really say about men and women in regards to marriage? How are men and women designed to relate to one another? How do we prepare for marriage — or strengthen our current marriage — based on this understanding of the Bible? How do we become better together?

There is a myth about marriage many people believe that doesn't lead to the happiness they're seeking. What is the goal of marriage? What is the foundation for a healthy and flourishing marriage?

On Super Bowl Sunday, the biggest and most watched game in the world, Awakening will interview a former NFL player to talk about the idea of a game and how it relates to our real everyday lives: preparation, focus, hard work, execution, team and more. How do we live out the “game of life” in a way that we will never regret?

The rhythm of Silicon Valley is success at any cost and busyness as a badge of honor. Why does this leave us with less significance, fulfillment and peace? Is there a better rhythm God has in mind for us?

Jesus shows us how to build stronger and more purposeful relationships by sharing a meal.

Grit is enduring short term pain for long term gain. How can we live with the power of passion and perseverance in a world that desires end products without the process?

Join us as we envision what life will be like in the year 2022 and how it can powerfully impact your 2017 for the better.

We live in a world that is desperate for some good news. At the center of Christianity is not a set of morals, philosophical teachings or even religious dogma. At the center of Christianity is good news not good advice. Something happened 2,000 years ago that has the power to change your life today.

When we see the Christmas story from Joseph's perspective, we discover not only the mystery of God at work, but how to choose well even when life doesn't make sense.

If we are really honest, it can even feel like heaven is silent in the most "wonderful" time of the year. Where is God when heaven is silent? What if the Christmas story actually speaks to the deepest needs and longings of our heart? What if the Christmas story answers the question: Where is God when heaven is silent?

Christmas is an amazing time of the year. It is a season when we celebrate peace on earth and good will toward others. But in truth, our own journey often involves uncertainty, fear and times of confusion. If we are really honest, it can even feel like heaven is silent in the most “wonderful” time of the year. Where is God when heaven is silent? What if the Christmas story actually speaks to the deepest needs and longings of our heart? What if the Christmas story answers the question: Where is God when heaven is silent?

Join us as we learn about practice of gratitude and celebrate what the Lord is doing in our lives and in our community.

There are unseen laws of nature that govern our daily existence. For example, the law of gravity affects us every day but we rarely think about it. It doesn’t matter if we are aware or unaware of gravity, we still have to live within its bounds. Just as well, there are unseen laws of generosity that impact our everyday life. Whether or not we live by them, these laws directly impact our lives and those around us for better or for worse.

I want you to take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Get settled. Allow the stress of the week to fade away. Now I want you to imagine what it would look like for you to be financial free. What would it really look like for you to have financial freedom? Now, what if you could actually experience financial freedom today? What if financial freedom is actually found in the paradox of generosity?

We believe the church should lead the way in unleashing extravagant generosity to a hurting and broken world because we have an extravagantly generous God.

Generosity makes the world a better place. It improves the life of the receiver and enhances the life of the giver. Yet somehow, generosity remains far too uncommon in our world today. Instead, our culture craves and pursues more at every turn. We seek happiness by directing most of our resources towards our own pursuits: security, possessions, experiences, pleasure, and luxury. There’s something underneath the surface of our lives that drives our behavior, something that causes us to cling tighter to things that won’t ultimately satisfy. With this backdrop in mind, the Bible calls us to a counter-culture way of living, a kind of living that only emerges when we adopt a radically new perspective.

Every single person longs to be loved deeply, as well as to know and be known intimately. In our culture we often confuse sex with love and separate God from the equation. However, the deep longing for intimacy persists and is left unfulfilled. Could there be an intrinsic connection between love, sex and God that we have often overlooked and misunderstood? If this connection exists, then, could it hold the spark of true intimacy that we long for?
