Awakened & Empowered: Awakened By The Word

Awakened by the Word | Mercy Movement Church Sermon | Awakened & Empowered Series

Welcome to Week 1 of our brand new series Awakened & Empowered—a deep and practical focus on the power of God’s Word and the power of prayer.

In this message, Pastor Jordan teaches how God awakens hearts through Scripture, starting with the life of King Josiah (2 Chronicles 34–35) and ending with the blueprint of the Devoted Church (Acts 2:42–47).

Josiah had belief. He had religion. He had activity.

But when the Word of God was read, everything changed—conviction was birthed, repentance was awakened, and revival began. This sermon is a call for every believer to stop living on spiritual leftovers and start living with a daily, abiding relationship with Jesus through His Word.

Then we look to Acts 2 and see what happens when a church becomes truly devoted:

✅ Devoted to the apostles’ teaching (God’s Word)

✅ Devoted to fellowship (the body of Christ)

✅ Devoted to breaking bread (Christ at the center—even in community)

✅ Devoted to prayer (engaging the living Jesus)

When we cling to Jesus, awe returns, passion rises, faith grows, and fruit follows.

If you’ve felt spiritually dry, distracted, or unsure where to start—this message will stir hunger for God’s Word and give you a clear next step: open the Book and begin.
