·40 min·3 clips

Ps. Marco Contreras argues Alpha is in the Bible, redefining it as a spiritual identity for believers.

The episode is a sermon by Ps. Marco Contreras, part of a series called 'The Way' within Awaken Church. It begins by addressing the critique that 'Alpha' is not in the Bible, countering with Revelation 1:8 where Jesus calls Himself the Alpha and Omega, redefining Alpha as a spiritual DNA for believers. The core message revolves around the call of God, using Moses' life from Exodus 3 as a primary example. Ps. Marco explains that God sees oppression and raises leaders unexpectedly, as with Moses shepherding when called. He emphasizes the importance of not hesitating to say yes to God, sharing personal anecdotes about financial struggles and his initial resistance to moving to Awaken Eastlake. The sermon delves into the character of God as good and loving, warning against a victim mindset that blames others and stunts growth. It highlights humility as a key trait, referencing Moses' humility in Numbers 12 and Jesus' example in Philippians 2. Ps. Marco encourages listeners to seek God's presence in all endeavors, drawing from Exodus 33 where Moses insists on God's presence. The message concludes with Deuteronomy 30, urging a choice for life and blessing, followed by an altar call for salvation and a closing song. The format is a solo sermon with interactive elements like audience participation and prayers.
