In the world today, love has been so twisted. But what does it actually mean to love God? Jesus said this was the most important command for believers to obey.

There will always be opposing forces trying to take you off the path that God has called you on. But we need to stand firm, and know our authority in Jesus, and take hold of the victory which He has given us.
This is a great reminder on the power of our mindset from our Connect Pastor here at Awaken City - Pastor Hariata!

Do you recognise that you are chosen by God? This understanding can change how you view your calling and how you respond to life.

Pastor Chris kicks off a new focus 'Built to Stand' looking at what it means to be the church.
Jesus said in Matthew, that He has come to build His church. The church isn't the building, but it's the people. It's us.
The scripture goes on to say that the gates of hades will not prevail. We need to stand together as the church and resist the enemy.
