This Sunday was our first gathering back together in person in the building. 16 months, 73 weeks, 508 days since our last gathering.  Our next series, we're focusing on what it looks like to be proximate to each other again. Next to each other in the pews once again.

August 1_Proximate: Unity or Unison

This week's final teaching of our Lost in Translation series is from the New Testament. 1 Corinthians 11 is about how women should wear head coverings in worship. Could this scripture actually mean the opposite of what we've mostly heard?

July 25_Lost in Translation: 1 Corinthians 11

Heading back to the Old Testament this week for Lost in Translation, taking a look at the role hospitality plays in community and even in healing relationships.

July 18_Lost in Translation: 2 Kings 6

Aaaaaand here's another doozy. As potentially problematic as this passage has been for many, the Great Commission is our scripture for this week. Micah jumps into pulling the threads and differentiating between consent and conquest. 

July 11_Lost in Translation: Matthew 28

Another great week of Lost in Translation with Micah. This week, it's the story of Tamar in Genesis 38. Micah takes on a couple misconceptions about the scripture and offers some different ideas and takes to consider. 

July 4_Lost in Translation: Genesis 38 Tamar

This week, we’re discussing Romans 13. It may not seem like an obvious choice for Lost in Translation on the surface, but it's been used to rationalize so much that is the opposite of the way of Jesus in the world.

June 27_Lost in Translation: Romans 13

We're jumping in full force with this summer's Lost in Translation series with Judges 19. It's one of those scriptures you read and think "What the what?!" But Micah shows us what we can glean from it and how it applies to where we find ourselves today.   Surgeon General's Warning: Not suitable to listen with children present. Also, this content might be triggering for victims of sexual trauma.

June 20_Lost in Translation: Judges 19

This week we're finishing up our Wells + Fences series with Freedom in Christ. It's the final part of the picture of what kind of community we want to be and look like. 

June 6_Wells + Fences: Freedom in Christ

This title might bring up memories of the Left Behind series, but in this case we're talking about revelation in the way that something or someone reveals themselves. Namely, God. How has God revealed themself before and are they continuing to do it today?

May 30_Wells + Fences: Revelation

On this Pentecost Sunday, we continue the Wells & Fences series with the sometimes complicated topic of the Holy Spirit. 

May 23_Wells + Fences: Dependent on the Holy Spirit

In the third week of our Wells & Fences series, Micah talks about the idea that how we believe what we believe is just as important as what we believe.

May 16_Wells & Fences: Generous Orthopraxy

This week's teaching is a lot about how we believe what we believe. How do we want hold our beliefs and values and at the same time welcome questions and curiosity?

May 9_ Wells + Fences: Curiosity & Questions

Over the next 6 weeks we'll revisit Micah's favorite teachings - Wells & Fences. If you've been around Awaken for awhile, this series will sound a little different. And if you're new to Awaken - welcome! This approach to building a community is at the heart of who we are as a church.

May 2_Wells & Fences:Jesus

We're honored to welcome Earl Milton back to the Awaken Community stage to share what he would like to say to the church in this season.
