Wk 2: Disciples of Jesus will Suffer (Matthew 11:1-19)
John the Baptist was imprisoned for publicly identifying with Jesus and he sends his disciples to Jesus with a question. "Are you the one who is to come?" In the middle of his suffering, John began to question the foundation upon which his life was built, and the conviction upon which his ministry was based. Disciples of Jesus will also suffer, but we suffer well when we take our questions about…
In the end of Matthew 9 and all throughout chapter 10, Jesus sends out His twelve disciples to do the things He had been doing: healing the sick, casting out demons, and proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven. Throughout the rest of the passage, Jesus directs his disciples to live a certain way as they take the message to the harvest. They are to proclaim the message and entrust it to people who will…
Jesus told the crowd that stood around Him in v16 + 17 about new wine and fresh cloth - this reality of the newly revealed power of the Kingdom of Heaven. Then, through the rest of the passage, Jesus demonstrated this power by healing five individuals, doing some things for the first time in the Gospel of Matthew and one that had not happened yet in the entire Bible. The ultimate miracle is Jesus'…
Wk 4: The Gospel is for Anyone and Everyone (Matt. 9:9-17)
The Gospel is for anyone and everyone. No one is too far gone for the message of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus to save. Matthew was the worst of the worst and considered the scum of the earth by his own people. Yet, Jesus found him and called him. Following Jesus cost Matthew a very lucrative job. He collected taxes and could charge extra to make money off of people. He left all that…
Wk 3: The One Who Can Set You Free (Matthew 8:28-9:8)
Again, Jesus displays power over creation - He just calmed a storm, and now He is found casting demons into a herd of pigs. Not only is He more powerful that all of creation, He is God over the supernatural. He is able to make us free when we believe in what He did on the cross for us.
The Son of God and What He's Done (Colossians 1:15-23)
Jackson Goranflo taught Sunday about the Son of God, what He has done, and how we should respond. The Son of God is Jesus, God in flesh who came to die in our place. We must respond in faith to Jesus' person and work and surrender our entire lives to Him.
Gabe, Awaken City Church's Youth director brings a message from James challenging us with the truth that if we love God, we will obey what He says. Our obedience is a marker that we love Him and have been transformed by the message of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Stepping Out of the Dark (1 John 1:5 - 2:2) [Kids Camp Recap]
Those who follow Jesus walk in the light as Jesus is in the light. They are continually reshaped by Jesus' character and work in their lives. Those who say they follow Jesus but live lives in a totally opposite direction fool themselves and actually walk in the darkness. To walk in the light is to follow Jesus and do what He says. We come to the light when we trust in what Jesus did for us as the…
Join us as one of our national partners shares their story of partnering with Awaken City and how that encourages and challenges us as individuals and as a church.
Wk 2: Following Jesus Will Cost You (Matthew 8:18-27)
Those who would be disciples of Jesus must understand the cost to follow Jesus. Trusting Jesus for salvation is not simply a thought, feeling, or action, it is directing our entire lives toward the reality that Jesus is Lord over our lives. Because of that, we will have to pay the cost of comfort, family commitments, and safety. Those who want an easy, predictable, comfortable life should not…
