From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 5:8-14- Sunday, May 27, 2012. If you’ve been to a sporting event, you know the excitement when the home team wins and the crowd goes wild. In heaven, when Jesus steps forward as the Redeemer, the home team wins…and the crowd goes wild! Heaven and all of creation erupt in worship! If you’ve been redeemed, you have a song to sing!

Let's Make A Deal - Revelation 5:1-7

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Mon, 21 May 2012 08:12:22 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 5:1-7- Sunday, May 20, 2012. Everywhere you look, people are looking for deals: yard sales, Craigslist, eBay, and more. Some things can be purchased cheap, while others go for a lot more. We are on the receiving end of the single greatest transaction in history: our sin for Jesus’ salvation! The deal is simple: you surrender, and Jesus saves you!

Nucleus - Revelation 4:1-11

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 13 May 2012 12:43:25 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 4:1-11- Sunday, May 13, 2012. Until the 16^th century, most people believed in a geocentric solar system (centered around Earth). Copernicus finally proved that it is actually heliocentric (centered around the sun). Contrary to popular belief, the world doesn’t revolve around you. Heaven is God-centric – and our lives should be too!

Making God Gag [Laodicea: The Lukewarm Church] Revelation 3:14-22

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:45:06 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 3:14-22 - Sunday, April 29, 2012. Most people prefer their drinks either hot or cold, not lukewarm. Jesus prefers His people the same way, but unfortunately, many people settle right in the middle. The lukewarm life seems to be much easier: no huge sacrifices for Jesus and no offending others with Jesus. The reality is, it makes God sick!

Just Do It. [Philadelphia: The Faithful Church] Revelation 3:7-13

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:39:04 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 3:7-13 - Sunday, April 22, 2012. “Just do it” is Nike’s famous slogan. It’s meant to motivate and challenge athletes to get out and do their best. Jesus provides plenty of motivation for His people to get out there and just do it when it comes to ministry that’s all around us. Although obstacles are everywhere, the rewards are eternal!

Cancel The Funeral - Revelation 3:1-6

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:55:48 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 3:1-6 - Sunday, April 15, 2012. A taxidermist poses, paints, and recreates a dead animal to look alive. In some cases, the animals look better dead than they did when they were living! Many people look alive, but are dead spiritually. Jesus wants to cancel your funeral, but you have to repent first. It won’t be easy, but an eternal reward is waiting!

Easter- Take The Plunge - Romans 6:1-4

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 12:05:56 PDT

Pastor Kevin Miller teaches from Romans 6:1-4 - Easter, April 8, 2012. The death and resurrection of Jesus changed a lot of things. Good Friday and Easter Sunday are not just two more events to add to your calendar. The shockwaves of what transpired on those days should ripple through the rest of your life. Sin’s power has been broken and life’s meaning has been redefined!

Good Friday - Premeditated 2:14-15

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:03:40 PDT

Pastor Kevin Miller teaches from Hebrews 2:14-15 - Good Friday, April 6, 2012. The title “Good Friday” has to be confusing to a lot of people. Normally, the anniversary of someone’s death is full of tears and mourning. Good Friday is good because our God is not still dead! He came with the premeditated plan to destroy Satan and deliver us from death. It is indeed GOOD Friday!

Poison In The Pulpit - Revelation 2:18-29

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:01:19 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 2:18-29 - Sunday, April 1, 2012. No one says, “I’m only drinking a little bit of poison – it’s no big deal.” Any amount of poison could be lethal, so it’s best to stay away at all cost. The same goes for sin, but unfortunately, it’s disguised as being beneficial and fun to play with. The reality is that sin is slow suicide. Choose obedience if you want to live.

Get A Grip - Revelation 2:12-17

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:01:02 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 2:12-17 - Sunday, March 25, 2012. Without traction or grip, your car would slide off the road, your pants would slide off your waist, and your feet would slip out from under you. It’s important to have a grip, but more importantly, that you’re gripping the right thing. Let go of the world so that you can have a grip on Jesus – you can’t have both!

Crushed - Revelation 2:8-11

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 11:51:54 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 2:8-11 - Sunday, March 18, 2012. At a restaurant, if you ask your waiter for pepper, they will probably grind the peppercorns onto your entrée. Similarly, as you follow Christ, there will be times that you will be crushed and ground down in order for God to receive the most glory. It will be painful, but it will also be worth it. Be faithful through the pain.

Erosion - Revelation 2:1-7

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:24:29 PDT

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 2:1-7 - Sunday, March 10, 2012. Many churches look impressive from the outside: functioning ministries, good works, and booming attendance. Although you may be impressed with their full calendar, what God is looking for is a full heart. If love is not at the center of what we do, we’re wasting our time and in danger of forfeiting our impact.

Jesus in HD - Revelation 1:12-20

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:54:59 PST

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 1:12-20 - Sunday, March 04, 2012. If you’ve watched anything on VHS, you know how much the quality has improved since then! John had spent years of his life with Jesus, but this new vision blew him away. In fact, it was in such High Definition, he fainted! It’s time we remember Jesus for His eternal majesty, then respond in worship.

Lessons From A Deserted Island - Revelation 1:4-11

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 11:41:24 PST

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 1:4-11 - Sunday, February 26, 2012. Sometimes life feels like a party, and other times, like a punishment. However, even in the deepest, darkest moments of your life, God has never left. In fact, pain and loneliness can often be the catalyst for some of life’s greatest lessons and most intimate times with God. Don’t despise your exile.

The Unveiling - Revelation 1:1-3

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:08:23 PST

From the series "The Reckoning" - Revelation 1:1-3 - Sunday, February 19, 2012. Before forming an opinion about someone, it’s best to get to know them. The book of Revelation was designed to give you a personal introduction to the one Person you need to know the most: JESUS! It’s urgent that you know Him and are living for Him because He’s coming back soon. Get ready!

THE BOOK - Volume 2: New Testament

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:28:01 PST

Pastor Kevin Miller teaches from The Old Testament - Sunday, February 12, 2012. Everything in the Old Testament was pointing toward Jesus, so when He showed up, everything God had been saying for thousands of years found their answers in Him. Jesus is the center of Scripture and should be the center of our lives as well. He came once, and you can be sure He’s coming back!

The Book: Volume 1 - Old Testament

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:47:57 PST

Pastor Kevin Miller teaches from The Old Testament - Sunday, February 5, 2012. Unfortunately, “old” sometimes has negative connotations. People try to prevent aging and often obsess with new things. However, just because the Old Testament has the term “old,” doesn’t make it irrelevant. In fact, it provides the footing for the New Testament. Even the Old Testament is about Jesus!

Be A Rebel - Philemon 17-25

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:14:18 PST

From the series "Redeemed" - Philemon 17-25 - Sunday, January 29, 2012. The term “rebel” normally has a negative connotation. It speaks of someone who doesn’t follow the rules and stands up against authority. However, Christians are called to rebel against the social standards of society like vengeance and grudges. Grace enables us to play by a different set of rules.

Redefine Your Life - Philemon 8-16

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:46:57 PST

From the series "Redeemed" - Philemon 8-16 - Sunday, January 22, 2012. Trying to live life while constantly staring over your shoulder at your past regrets can be as dangerous as trying to drive while staring in the rearview mirror. However, if you’ll let it, the Gospel will empower you to confidently face your past mistakes and redefine your purpose for eternity.

worshiping. - Romans 12:3-8

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:49:05 PST

From the series "simplify." - Romans 12:3-8. - Wed, January 15, 2012. In return for your soul, God gave you a gift. It could be Spiritual gifts, natural abilities or talents, etc. The bottom line is, you have a gift. But God doesn’t give gifts so that you can hoard them to yourself. He gives them because they play a role in the bigger picture. Embrace yours and put it to work!

The Gospel Is Not Chained - Philemon 4-7

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:20:44 PST

From the series "Redeemed" - Philemon 1-3 - Saturday, January 8, 2012. Road hazards, construction, and accidents often result in detours while driving. As we follow Jesus, we will also encounter plenty of detours. However, regardless of our boundaries or obstacles, the Gospel continues wherever we are as we allow love for others to flow from our faith in Jesus.

discipling - Hebrews 10:24-25

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:38:42 PST

From the series "simplify." - Hebrews 10:24-25. - Wed, January 11, 2012. Eve was created because God said Adam shouldn’t be alone. Although God created us for community, our tendency is to isolate. We have to fight against that tendency and purposely seek out opportunities to gather with Christians in order to grow and endure in our faith. Don’t forsake it. You’ll regret it.

(much more than) Small Talk - Philemon 1-3

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:07:50 PST

From the series "Redeemed" - Philemon 1-3 - Saturday, January 8, 2012. Every piece of mail you receive has only a few seconds to convince you that it’s more than just junk mail. Paul’s letter to Philemon may not seem seem like much, but from start to finish, it’s a rare glimpse into a pastor’s heart and a picture of the power of the Gospel to redeem what was once lost.

Evangelizing - 2 Corinthians 5:20

awakenthechurch@gmail.com (Pastor Kevin Miller) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:21:03 PST

From the series "simplify." - 2 Corinthians 5:20. - Wed, January 4, 2012. Instead of doing a lot of things halfway, as a church, we want to do a few things very well. As Christians, one thing we are called to is evangelism. We are the mouthpieces that God uses to proclaim salvation to a dying world. It’s not an option for you to share your faith. It’s what you're called to.
