Awaken Westchester Church

The Invisible Man

This week's monster: The Invisible Man. Listen as Dave looks at the dangers of isolating ourselves from others and how to find healing from the brokenness we've experienced. 

Dracula

Energy drains. They're all around us: stealing our power and leaving us lifeless. How do we protect the God-given power we posses within from all that attempts to remove the life from us? Join us this week as we look at how to protect ourselves from vampires: the ones we have control over, and the ones we have no control over.

Frankenstein

What is our truest nature? Who are we at our core? This week, we explore these questions and more by looking at the story of Frankenstein to see what it reveals about our humanity and the people we have been created by God to be.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

What are the stories shaping your life? Are they leading you down a path of freedom and joy, or holding you down and keeping you from all that God desires for you?

Join guest speaker Sam Castro as we look at "the road to Emmaus." In the story, we find a road map for our life journey and learn how to exchange limiting stories for the bigger ones Jesus is inviting us into.

Do We Even Need Church?

Pastor Dave closes out our sermon series on the church by looking at his top four reasons for why he believes church is needed today.

Ekklesia

Ekklesia, used 114 times in the New Testament, is the word the first followers of Jesus used when they wrote about "church."

What did ekklesia mean in the first century? What were these writers communicating about "church" when they chose this word to describe gatherings of Jesus followers?

Listen this week as we look at this ancient Greek word and discover what it has to say about church and the specific purpose of its existence. 

Covered in the Dust of Jesus

At Awaken, our vision is to "create followers of Jesus." Listen this week as Dave looks at Jesus's calling of the first disciples and explores what it means to follow Jesus with our lives today.

The Rummage Sale

Current studies suggest our culture is desiring community, open to exploring spirituality, but also less interested in church and religion. What do these studies reveal about where we are as a culture? What do they reveal about the status of church? Listen this week as Dave begins a new series exploring these questions and more!

Don’t Sweat the Details

Sometimes, we mistakenly get hung up on ideas about faith that take us away from a full relationship with God. Join guest speaker Joe Mrugalski as we look at what God truly desires from each of us. 

Hidden Treasure and a Priceless Pearl

This week, join us as Dave looks at two parables of Jesus: The Parable of Hidden Treasure and the Parable of the Fine Pearl. Both parables reveal a surprising and beautiful picture of the God of grace reflected in Jesus.
