We exist to awaken this generation to new life in Jesus Christ.
We’re so glad you’re here! If you’re new to Awakening, we would love to get to know you and for you to get to know us! The best way to do that is by filling out a Connection Card.
Controversial Jesus | Part 5: Jesus & Enemies
Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
That sounds nice but it is not realistic. How do you love the friend who betrayed you? How do you love your ex who stabbed you in the back? How do love the boss or coworker who has gone out of his/her way to make your life miserable? How do you love the person whose spread lies about you? How do you love your enemy? Or better yet, why love my enemy!? What is at the heart of Jesus’ command and how do we live it out today?
Join us as we go through Matthew 5:17-37 and look at what Jesus says about some of today’s most controversial issues and what it means to follow Jesus.
The White Tent
Behind the connection cart you will find a hub for people who are new to Awakening. This is a space we encourage you to point new people as well as your own guests to. At The White Tent (previously known the white balloons) there will be treats & gifts, staff members & connection team members excited to welcome and get to know those who are new to our community!
