Awaken Westchester Church

A Permanent Home

This week, Heiko Schwarz delivers his final sermon to Awaken before leaving for his next adventure. Join us as Heiko talks about how to live in this world while living in awareness of the permanent home promised by Christ.

First, the Inside

As we continue our series on "The Woes of Jesus", we see Jesus condemning a way of being that focuses exclusively on the external life while giving no attention to the inner life.  Join us this week as we explore how the inner life is where true power comes from.

Swallowing Camels

In this 4th Woe, Jesus critiques the religious leaders for neglecting the "more important matters of the law".  What are the more important matters Jesus is referring to?  And how do we arrange our lives in such a way that we live fully into the types of people God desires for us all to be?  Join us this week as we explore these questions and more!

The Words We Speak

Which words matter? Some words or all words? As we explore this third woe, we see Jesus critique a system that valued some words over others. In doing so, he exposes a way of living that creates a false distinction between sacred and non-sacred moments of life.

Sons of Hell

Jesus harshly critiques the type of faith being produced by the religious establishment of his time. Join us this week as we look at how Jesus talked about faith and what that faith produced within people.

Guest Speaker Mitch Massey - Job

Join us this week as guest speaker Mitch Massey looks at three timeless truths found in the book of Job!

Bouncers at the door

In the first of 7 criticisms directed toward the religious leaders, Jesus faults them for being the self-appointed guardians of God.  They are deciding who is allowed access to God while they themselves are not experiencing the love and grace of God.  Join us this week as we look at why the religious leaders were missing God and how we can experience God in our lives today.

Religion According to Jesus

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus offers a scathing critique against some of the religious establishment. Join us this week as we begin a new journey exploring these 7 critiques compared to the true religion that Jesus offers.

Holding the World Together - Guest Speaker Dan Haugh

What if I told you that we can learn about the power of prayer....from trees? Could it be that the cosmos God created is embedded with lessons about connectivity, strength and resilience that Jesus tapped into? We will look at an example from the life of Jesus and discuss how prayer not only infuses us with inspiration and connection, but also is the source of communion and life-giving relationships.

The Spirit Within

What if you were told the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead was alive and at work within you? Would that change how you looked at your life? Would it change how you saw the world around you? Join us as Dave talks about living from that Spirit within rather than the external circumstances we see in front of us.
