It doesn't matter how bleak things may seem at the moment, when God shows hope and breakthrough come with him. One encounter with God can not only change everything but bring everything to its best conclusion

Be inspired to let go of all of the baggage and weights that are slowing you down so you can run with purpose and endurance the race God has set before you in 2026.

Preparing for New Wine invites us to clear space in our hearts, habits, and thinking so God can do a fresh work in us. It's not about loss—it's about alignment. As we release what's behind us, we step into a new season with faith, freedom, and expectancy.

In this shredder sunday message, ps katy ministers around the story of the Israelites crossing over into the promised land: what it took to cross over, what it took to possess the land and fully live out the promises of God. Fast forward to today: God wants us to partner with Him to release, remember, and respond in order to have Gods best for our 2026!

Like the Israelites at the edge of the Promised Land, Shredder Sunday is about releasing what holds us back so we can step into God's promises for 2026.

In this message, Brandon shares a personal journey of how unresolved pain from his childhood led him to make inner vows that quietly shaped his relationships and decisions. Real transformation begins when we trace those patterns back to their root, faced old wounds, and invited God into the process of forgiveness and healing.

God's plan is always to restore what's broken and recover what's been stolen. If there is any area of our lives that need encouragement on how to recover what may have been lost in your year, this message is geared to you and helping you look forward to the future with Gods goodness in mind!

Burn the Ships is a call to radical trust—a moment to leave behind not just what weighs us down, but what we've secretly trusted more than God. On Shredder Sunday, we confront both the weights that crush us and the sin that trips us up, naming the fears, reports, patterns, and beliefs that have kept us stuck. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message reveals a consistent biblical truth: God's calling always requires leaving something behind before clarity ever comes. As we step into a new year, the question isn't whether we trust God—but what we're finally willing to surrender so we can truly run free.

In order to truly trust God, you must surrender what you've been trusting instead of Him. One of the great through-lines of Scripture is this: God's calling always involves leaving something significant behind. Not after clarity. Not after certainty. But before. Leaving is not loss. Leaving is trust in motion. Some people don't struggle to believe in God. They struggle to stop believing in the things that feel safer than God.

In this message Ps Jared pulls particle examples from the book of Philippines for how we can be full of joy, life, and light, and be an example of Christ to our neighborhoods, workplaces and schools in this holiday season.

Exploring the urgency behind the Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," this message uses the acronym HARK to break down the arrival of divine nature into a fallen world. Pastor Colin challenges listeners to move beyond passive hearing and offer a required response of worship, surrender, and active faith.

Your miracle is a forerunner to others being introduced to Jesus.

In this message, we look at the story of the Magi in Matthew 2 and discover what it truly means to encounter Jesus as King. The wise men recognized Jesus for who He really was—not just a baby, not just Mary and Joseph's son, but the promised King revealed by heaven itself. We're challenged to ask the same question Jesus later asked His disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” This message explores what shapes our view of Jesus—family, culture, experience, and media—and reminds us that our understanding must ultimately be shaped by His Word, His fruit, and His Spirit. We're also reminded that the primary reason we come to Jesus and gather as the church is worship—to honor the King. Finally, we're challenged by the Magi opening their treasures, learning that true worship always carries a cost, echoing David's declaration that he would not offer to God what cost him nothing. This message calls us to see Jesus rightly, worship Him fully, and offer Him our very best.

Hear this message and be inspired to remember all the blessings that Christmas brought to us with the birth of Jesus Christ.

The Christmas Story is about heaven's intervention into the history and the destiny of mankind! Mankind sinned against God in Eden and were cast out of Eden and mankind on a continuous trajectory away from God until Christ came and redeemed all. Now instead of the destiny of a lost eternity, we have eternal life in Heaven with God!

Be inspired to believe and trust in God's miraculous power to be at work in your life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The book of Acts was never supposed to end. There should be more miracles now not less. Ps Jon shows us in scripture the authority and power we carry in Christ.

We often misunderstand seasons, expecting constant harvest when sometimes God has us in winter—a season of rest, trust, and investment rather than visible fruit. Winter doesn't mean something is wrong; it means the soil is resting, roots are deepening, and pruning is happening to make room for future growth. Just as farmers rest the land, tend the vines, and repair their tools in winter, God uses these seasons to heal hearts, strengthen foundations, and prepare us for what's next. When we change the meaning of winter from failure to formation, frustration gives way to peace and hope. Learning to embrace "winter" allows us to trust God in hardship, knowing that new life and harvest are being prepared beneath the surface.

In this message we go on a journey through a powerful testimony of how Jesus Christ brings you from death to life. How that our sharing together with our Lord in the Gospel, we are made to be raised up with Christ in experience.

What story does your life tell? Have you allowed Jesus to to come into your story as the Redeemer who offers freedom and restoration? Jesus paid the ultimate price so that you and I can live free in our purpose and calling.

December is full of pressure, expectations, and busyness, and if we're not careful, we rush through the season without making room for what God wants to do. Christmas is an invitation to slow down, prepare our hearts, and move from simply doing Christian activities to truly believing again. The Christmas story reminds us that God does miracles in imperfect, uncomfortable, and unexpected places, not in polished or religious environments. Mary's response—“Let it be unto me according to your word”—shows that miracles require surrender, trust, and a willingness to carry what God wants to birth. God doesn't need our perfection; He needs our availability, our mess, and our yes. Even in silence, darkness, or waiting, God can break through in a moment and bring hope, light, and a miracle into our lives.

In this powerful installment of the Miracle on Your Street series, Ps Colin unpacks "The Gift of a Scaled Life," revealing how the Prayer of Jabez unlocks God's desire to expand your territory and turn your deficits into abundance. Discover how surrendering your capacity, service, and expectations to the Father can transform the pressure of growth into a limitless life that overflows to everyone around you.

From Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel, we see that God intends to work miracles both in us and through us. The Holy Spirit still moves in the most unlikely places—driving out darkness, calming fear, bringing healing, and drawing us into His Kingdom purpose.

The best gifts we can give are the gifts that the receiver needs most. These gifts will cost us something, but not always money. Ps. Michael shares some valuable perspectives on giving from a well known parable about friendship, forgiveness and faith.

So often when we worry or are confused we go to the world for answers. Or we go to works to try and force the hand of God. In the story of the prodigal son, both brothers miss out on the blessing in the house for different reasons. Seek God first and watch His grace and blessing fill your life.

In the Kingdom, preparation begins with one thing: LOVE. Before you GO: - Receive His Love - Let His Love heal you - Wait on His Spirit to empower you Because the Great Commission without the love of God is like packing your bike without ever learning to ride it — you will burn out, crash out, and miss the whole point. But with His love… With His healing… With the Holy Spirit's power… You won't just go — you will witness, you will shine, you will carry hope, and you will change lives wherever your feet land.

The great test and struggle of this life on earth is to walk in sync with heaven. When our lives are in sync we experience God's hand of blessing and heaven flows to earth in our lives. When we are out of sync, we miss God's best for our lives.

The Holy Spirit wants to partner with us to reach the lost by spending us on Rescue Missions for the Kingdom of God. This message will ignite a fresh passion for seeing the lost saved and set free!

In this powerful message, Mark unpacks the supernatural reality of sonship — the miracle described in Romans 8:14–17 where God adopts us into His family and places His Spirit within us to lead, empower, and transform our lives. He explores four attributes of spiritual sonship and the four phases every believer journeys through: Revelation, Consecration, Activation, and Manifestations. Together, these truths reveal what it means to walk not as slaves, but as fully empowered sons and daughters who carry the authority, identity, and love of the Father. If you're hungry to understand your kingdom identity and step boldly into your God-given purpose, this teaching will ignite your faith and awaken the Spirit-led life within you.

We are honored to hear from three powerhouse leaders at Awaken Eastlake! Buckle up because this is going to be a powerful service.

We live in a world that is afraid of absolute truth. In this message we dive into some of the black & white truths scripture outlines for us as believers. Some may shy away from truth, but God's word is clear. " You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

*This is the SALT LAKE CITY edition of Dr. Matt's "Are You Listening?" message Dr. Matt reminds us that when we tune our hearts to hear the Lord, we step into clarity, confidence, and divine direction.

This message calls us to live with awakened discernment so we can recognize His voice and follow it boldly.

In the LORD's prayer Jesus taught the disciples to pray “on earth as it is in heaven” which in essence literally means a “divinely synchronized” life! This message is about the how and why of divinely synchronizing your life to God and Heaven.

The altar is where transformation begins , where we encounter the power of God. The table is where transformation happens, where we open our lives to godly people and walk out what God began. The middle determines everything. It's time to come out of the darkness and shadows and step into transparency and light. So that what God did in us becomes lasting change that leads to a legacy. In this message, Pastor Stacy invites us to move beyond freedom as a moment into a lifestyle of lasting change, one that's passed down and becomes our legacy.

In this message, Ps. Jake teaches on the importance of living a lifestyle of revelation, where every encounter with God transforms us to reflect Jesus more clearly.

This sermon dives into the honest tension between a loving God and the painful realities we face.

This Christmas, we don't just celebrate the birth of our savior, we celebrate our introduction to the Author of all things, who has more to say and do than what's recorded in the scriptures.

God often reveals himself in adverse conditions. Finding God in our storms, reveals His Peace - in our battles reveals His power, and in our Shadows reveals Him as Shepherd.

Dr. Matt reminds us that when we tune our hearts to hear the Lord, we step into clarity, confidence, and divine direction. As we silence the noise and lean into His whisper, we invite God's presence to guide our steps with wisdom and peace. This message calls us to live with awakened discernment so we can recognize His voice and follow it boldly.

Are you in a season where God is cutting things back—relationships, opportunities, plans you thought were His will? You're not alone. This message reveals the surprising truth Jesus taught in John 15: God prunes not because you're failing, but because you're fruitful. In this sermon, Morgan shares a raw personal testimony of fasting, breakthrough, and unexpected loss—followed by the revelation that pruning is God's preparation for multiplication. Through Scripture, biblical examples, and practical wisdom, you'll discover: - Why God removes good things to prepare you for greater things - The five blessings hidden in every pruning season - The danger of resisting God's pruning—and the freedom of surrendering to it - How to survive “the drift” between cutting and new growth - How trust, thanksgiving, and perseverance unlock God's next chapter for your life If you've been confused, hurting, or wondering where God is in this season, this message will help you see His hand clearly, love His process deeply, and embrace the increase He's preparing you to carry. This isn't loss. It's love. It's preparation. And it's the doorway to your next harvest.

Don't let fear and looking back keep you from the Legacy God has for you. Pastor Tessa Fuller reminds us that God's promises are always ahead of us, never behind us. When we stop rehearsing old doubts and release the grip of yesterday's disappointments, we make room for His grace to pull us boldly into our future. Legacy isn't something we stumble into—it's something we step into with courage, conviction, and trust. Keep your eyes forward, your heart steady, and your faith anchored in the God who leads you from glory to glory.

Kingdom power is unleashed not just by hearing God's Word, but by becoming an active 'Word Carrier' who builds their life upon it.
