Awaken Westchester Church

The Dishes Can Wait

How often do we find ourselves speeding through life blind to the needs around us? Join us this week as we look at the life of Jesus to see how to keep our hearts open and able to respond with compassion to what those around us are going through.

Be Formed, Be Filled, and Poured

Guest speaker Stephen Bailey shows how God has filled us with His Spirit so we can be poured out to bring grace and healing to our world.

Be a Blessing to the World

From the beginning of the Bible, God has been looking for a community of people through whom to bless the world. Listen this week as Dave talks about how the church is not to exist solely for itself, but to be a source of love and blessing for the entire world. 

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

This week, Dave looks at the second part of our Awaken vision: creating communities of belonging. Join us as we explore the type of community the New Testament describes the church to be. One of love, acceptance, encouragement, support, kindness, forgiveness, and healing.

A resolution to love

Let's commit to growing in love this year!

Listen as Dave talks about the first way we live out our Awaken vision of creating followers of Jesus: welcoming others into God's love. 

A sermon in 5 questions

As we begin 2023, Dave offers 5 questions to ask ourselves based on one of Paul's prayers in the letter of Ephesians. Join us as we start our series "Resolutions" and begin the year with greater awareness and intention!

The road to salvation passes through Egypt

After the birth of Jesus, there is an immediate threat on his life, forcing his parents to flee to Egypt. Egypt has been a threat to the promises of God from the beginning of the Bible. Will it now derail God's plan of salvation? Listen this week as we look at how to live in a world where Jesus has been born, but much of the world still appears the same.

The distance in our hearts

Join guest speaker Sammy Castro as he shows how the magi's heart is what made them open to receiving from God.

One Shepherd to rule them all

There is a universal longing we all carry for the restoration and healing of all that's been broken and lost in our lives and the world. In his Gospel, Matthew shows how this longing finds fulfillment in the person of Jesus, but not everyone recognizes this truth. Listen now as Dave shows how the story of Herod and the Magi reveal 2 ways we miss the hope of God being birthed in our world and 2 ways to recognize it.

Immanuel

Have you ever experienced the loss of God? Has it ever felt as if God is removed from this world or your particular situation? Listen this week as we explore how Matthew's use of the Old Testament in the birth story of Jesus reveals the truth of God's faithfulness and eternal presence with us.
