Where are we headed in 2014? Where is that we long to see God take us, both individually and as a community?

We are here, in our city, in this time for a reason and purpose. Why has God placed us here and where is all of this headed? In order to realize our destination we must first begin with our present location.

In this conclusion to our Advent series, we take a look at the Song of Simeon and discover that the gift of salvation that Christmas brings us is a gift for the whole world. If we've seen it, we are called to help others see it.

This week we explore the story and song of Mary. In the most improbable place to the most improbable person, the Savoir of the world was born. This powerful story and Mary's response to God's favor has a lot to teach us about how we see ourselves before God today.

This week we explore the story and song of Zechariah to discover that God often reveals a brand new story for our lives in our moments of silence, when we admit that our words aren't enough and we quiet ourselves to listen for wonder and mystery.

During the season of Advent we're exploring the songs, prophecies, and prayers surrounding the birth of Jesus. This week we look at an ancient prophecy from the book of Isaiah and see what it might mean for us today to put our hope in Christ alone, the one true King.

In the conclusion to our Generous series, we examine the reality that we can't afford to not be generous.

Money is a touchy subject for many. Jesus taught very specifically on the matter. This week we explore what he said and what it means for us and how we are to think about, view, and steward the resources we've been given.

Generosity is not simply an external action or decision. It is the very DNA of our souls. We are image bearers of a generous God and as such, we are called to live with generosity, here and now.

Developing a healthy relationship with our mate requires more than just intuition - it requires intentionality. As we conclude this series on relationships, we explore some ways to avoid and navigate through a few relationship land mines.

We explore the theology and sacredness of sexuality as well as some practical ways for both married couples and singles to persue the most fufilling sex life ever.

Conflict and tension are a regular part of every relationship. Navingating through them well begins with a look inside ourselves and a humble desire to allow to God to first work in us before we desire him to work in the other person.

Relationships aren't about becoming the same - they're about becoming one. In this message, we explore how this can still be possible in a world of such individualisms.

Becoming the right person matters more than finding the right person. In this message, we explore the realitites of what each of us brings into a relationship and ways we can navigate through it all in a Godly way.

Relationships matter. How we do relationships today will shape the next generation. In this introduction, we begin exploring what it takes to become the men and women God has designed us to be.

What is the mission of God? And how do we join that mission? What might God do, in our city and in our world, if we all lived missionally?

What if we all followed Jesus together? What might God do if an entire community of people took the risk of leaving everything and following Jesus into the life he has for us? What might God do in us, our city, and our world if we would give ourselves that amazing calling?

On Awakening Church's first birthday, we kick off this new series by asking the question, "What if we all experienced the family of God together?"

This week we explore the practice of fasting and praying.

This week we pray through Colossians 3 and ask God to recreate us, our church, and our city. We bring our scraps and watch as God creates splendor out of them.
