Awaken Westchester Church

Love Without*

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.

"What's the Purpose of Humanity?"

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.

What We're Building Together

In this week's sermon we celebrate our ministry highlights from 2025, and look ahead to 2026. Listen as Dave reminds us what it truly means to be a church community, and hear from our Awaken members as they share how they've grown in their journey of following Jesus over this past year.

Shadow Missions

Before Jesus began his ministry, he was tempted to embrace a path that wasn't true to the life the Spirit was inviting him to live. We also face these same temptations. Learn this week how to overcome any shadow missions that sabotage your truest life so you can walk your path of following Jesus.

A Place to Call Home

At the heart of the Christmas story is an invitation to join in God's work of bringing restoration and renewal to our world. Mary and Joseph both said "yes" and through their obedience, Jesus was birthed and rescued from Herod. We are being given that same invitation today, as God invites us to follow the path of Jesus and live into the hope and love that brings healing to our lives.

East of Eden

Throughout our lives, we find ourselves separated from home, a place of safety, security, and rest. This longing we have to return home is expressed throughout the pages of the Bible and finds its ultimate expression in the birth of Jesus as the Gospel writers anticipate how this child will lead us home, into a place of true love and salvation. Join us as we begin Advent, preparing ourselves to receive the hope and peace that Jesus brings.

With You Heart and Soul

The character of Jonathan in 1 Samuel 14 shows us that faith moves, even in the midst of uncertainty or when the odds look impossible. This week, we're challenged to resist waiting for the "right moment" and embody the good God is inviting us to step into, despite the risk involved.

We Have to Talk about the Book of Judges

What is God like? How does God desire for us to live?

As we close our Stranger Things of Scripture series, we look at a story that shows how easily we can lose sight of God when we look to the surrounding culture for our understanding of God. Join us as we look at how easily we can lose sight of God and how to reclaim a true picture of God by looking to the person of Jesus.
