Unity is a beautiful thing. Witness the power of churches across Northwest Indiana coming together as one under the name Awakening. We're lifting our hands, sharing our voices, and celebrating the power of collaboration for the Lord—because it's Kingdom over castle, and it’s always bigger than our logos.

Together, we're also raising money to support the incredible work of Be the Village.

Everything belongs to Him. 🌎✨

Today, may we live with gratitude, care for what God has entrusted to us, and remember whose world—and whose people—we are.

Psalm 24:1 🙏

08/31/2026

Yesterday, we talked about racism—not simply as an issue happening somewhere “out there,” but as something the Church must be willing to confront with the truth and love of Jesus.

Revelation 7:9 gives us a beautiful picture of where God is taking His people: every nation, tribe, people, and language standing together before the throne.

That vision should shape how we live today.

Following Jesus means examining our own hearts, listening to the experiences of others, rejecting prejudice wherever we find it, and choosing to love our neighbors with courage and humility. Unity doesn’t require us to ignore our differences. In Christ, we can honor those differences while remembering what ultimately brings us together.

The conversation doesn’t end with Sunday’s sermon. May we continue it—in our homes, our friendships, our community, and most importantly, in our own hearts.

Lord, make Your Church look more and more like the Kingdom You have shown us.

📣 PORTAGE CAMPUS UPDATE

We’re grateful to share that we WILL gather in person this Sunday, August 16, at 10:30 AM! 🙌

We know the severe storms across Northwest Indiana have left many of our families and neighbors without electricity. While power has not yet been fully restored at our Portage Campus, the campus is running on generator power and we are prepared to gather safely.

This Sunday may look a little different, but we believe there’s something powerful about coming together—especially after a difficult few days. ❤️

A few things to know:
• Service begins at 10:30 AM
• All children will remain with their parents/guardians in the sanctuary for the service
• Come as you are and gather with us for prayer, worship, encouragement, and community
If you’ve been navigating storm damage, power outages, or simply a challenging week, we would love to have you with us.

Sunday • August 16 • 10:30 AM

📍 Living Hope Church — Portage Campus
We’ll see you Sunday, church family! ❤️

⚠️ Thank you everyone for rising to the challenge! We have enough generators for service!

CHURCH, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 💛

The storms and power outages have created some challenges at our campuses, but one thing hasn’t changed: we are determined to have CHURCH!

And we believe this is one of those moments when the Church gets to be the Church — coming together, helping one another, and making a way.

We are looking to borrow 8 generators to help power our campuses for service this Sunday (8/16). If you have a generator that meets the following needs and would be willing to let us borrow it, we would be incredibly grateful:

⚡ Gas or diesel
⚡ 2,500+ Watts
⚡ 20+ Amps
⚡️120 Volts

Can you help us make church possible? Please call or text Pastor Tyler today at 770-718-7913 or email [email protected]

Thank you, Living Hope family, for powering hope together! 💛
