Awakening Church with Maksim Asenov

What happens when you stop giving God what is left over and start giving Him what comes first? What you put first has the power to influence everything that follows. The first is not about quantity. It is about priority. When you put God first, your relationships, your finances, your time, your decisions, and your future begin to come under His blessing and direction. A sacrifice can produce a harvest and that harvest gives you the strength for your next sacrifice. Your brother's success is not your loss. Instead of competing with people God has placed around you, learn from them, partner with them, and celebrate what God is doing through them. The enemy wants your attention before God gets it. But when God gets the first minute, the first thought, the first place, and the first sacrifice - He can redeem the whole. You don't have to chase wealth, success, favor, or purpose. Become the person God has called you to be and watch what follows. What are you putting first? __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

Your life is full of seeds. Every word you speak. Every decision you make. Every act of faith. Every attitude you carry. You are constantly sowing and eventually, what you sow will produce a harvest. The seed may look small, but it carries the DNA of an unstoppable future. What you sow today may not be visible yet, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Sometimes the seed is watered with tears. Sometimes you have to wait. Sometimes you have to keep believing when nothing seems to be changing. But God is faithful to His Word, and the seed has a law attached to it: seedtime and harvest will never cease. You cannot sow in tears and expect to harvest without joy. The tears were part of the sowing but now it's time to recognize the harvest. Big harvest requires big joy. Maybe you've been wondering why it has taken so long. Maybe you've been tempted to dig up the seed because you don't see anything happening. Maybe you've been through betrayal, disappointment, criticism, or seasons where all you could do was cry and keep believing. Don't give up. The seed is working. And the message is clear: Harvest time is here. Not just for your life, but for Bulgaria, Eastern Europe, and Europe. Don't sleep in harvest time. Don't cancel the party because someone else isn't happy about your blessing. Don't let yesterday's tears keep you from today's joy. Keep sowing. Keep believing. Keep your heart right. And when the harvest comes — celebrate what God has done. What are you sowing today? Because your seed carries the future you are praying for. __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

What if the life you are living today is connected to the seeds you have been sowing? Whatever you sow, you will reap. Your words are seeds. Your thoughts are seeds. Your attitudes are seeds. Your actions are seeds. And every seed eventually produces a harvest. You may not be able to change yesterday's harvest - but you can change today's seed. In this message, you will discover: • Why God designed seedtime and harvest as a spiritual law • How your words and thoughts shape your future • Why the seed of complaint produces a harvest of misery • Why you should never stop sowing good seeds, even when you don't see results • How faith, prayer and obedience prepare you for your future harvest • Why your current season doesn't have to determine your future “For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 Don't just pray for a different harvest. Change the seed. __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov. Our mission is "Jesus to be exalted.

Honor is more than respect - it is a seed that determines what you are able to receive, carry, and become. In Matthew 10, Jesus reveals a powerful principle: when we honor what God has placed on another person's life, we position ourselves to receive from what He has placed in them. Proximity can give us the effects of anointing, but honor allows us to receive its essence. The seed of honor can unlock mantles, anointing, favor, wisdom, and spiritual inheritance. It changes the way we see our parents, leaders, pastors, brothers and sisters, and even the next generation. What we honor, we make room to receive, and what we dishonor, we can unknowingly block ourselves from carrying. Honor is not about agreeing with everything someone does. It is about recognizing the value, position, gift, and purpose God has placed in their life. And when we choose honor, even when it is difficult, we are sowing into our own future. What are you sowing into your future? Are you choosing honor even when you have the opportunity to choose offense, disrespect, or revenge? Today, choose honor. Sow the seed that produces the harvest of oil. __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

There is a difference between standing near the anointing and actually carrying it. Many believers sit under powerful teaching, feel the atmosphere shift, and yet walk out the door with nothing remaining. Proximity lets you enjoy the effects of the anointing - only honor lets you receive its essence. In the grand finale of the series on the mystery of the seed, Pastor Maksim opens Matthew 10 and reveals the one seed that produces a mantle. When you honor a prophet as a prophet, a righteous man as a righteous man, and even the smallest disciple with a cup of cold water, heaven stitches onto your life what once belonged to someone else. But dishonor works the same way in reverse - it cancels the very future you have been praying for. What you honor, you will inherit. What you dishonor, you can never receive. Sow the seed of honor today and believe God for a harvest of fresh oil, fresh power, and abundant glory. __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

Before God's rain of blessing falls, there is often work that must be done in the soil of our hearts. Many of us pray for breakthrough, favor, and miracles, yet overlook the areas of our lives that have been neglected. Just as a farmer prepares the ground before the rain arrives, God calls us to cultivate the fields He has entrusted to us—our faith, our family, our calling, and our relationship with Him. The condition of the ground determines what happens when the rain comes. Neglected fields become hardened over time, but they don't have to stay that way. God is inviting us to break up the forgotten places in our lives, sow seeds of righteousness, and seek Him with renewed passion. When we prepare the ground, we position ourselves for the abundant grace, favor, and harvest that only He can bring. The rain is coming - but will your field be ready? Today is the day to break up the hard ground, rekindle what has been neglected, and prepare for the supernatural harvest God has already promised. __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

Hard work alone isn't always enough to live a truly fruitful life. Sometimes, spiritual breakthrough requires us to shift our focus from the physical demands of this world to the eternal truths of God. True abundance doesn't come from human effort alone, but from where we choose to invest our heart, time, and attention. We often pour our resources into fleshly desires and temporary distractions that swallow them up without leaving a trace. Just like seeds planted in poor soil fail to thrive, we can find ourselves spiritually drained when we constantly feed the distractions around us instead of nurturing our relationship with God. When we sow to the flesh, we reap emptiness; but when we sow to the Spirit, we unlock life, peace, and divine purpose. Are you sowing seeds where God hasn't called you? Today is the day to change that—stop feeding the distractions, realign your focus, and start sowing into the spiritual ground that God has uniquely prepared for your growth! __________ Renaissance Church is a dynamic, contemporary Christian church based in Sofia, Bulgaria, led by Pastors Maksim and Teodora Asenov.

Hard work alone isn't always enough to live a truly fruitful life. Sometimes, breakthrough requires us to uproot the habits and relationships that drain our time and energy without adding any real value to our lives. We often pour our resources into places that swallow them up without leaving a trace. Just like suckers steal vital nutrients from a tree, we can find ourselves robbed by people and activities that look alive and growing on the outside, but are actually draining us. Are you sowing seeds where God hasn't called you? Today is the day to change that—cut off the useless suckers and clear the space for the blessings God has uniquely prepared for you!

What happens when God leaves, but you keep going through the motions? Could you be losing your spiritual power without even realizing it? In this powerful and prophetic warning, we dive deep into the "Samson Syndrome" and explore what it truly means to stay rooted in Christ. The enemy rarely destroys a destiny overnight; instead, he works in stages, quietly cutting away your roots one by one until you are left with outward form but no inner power. True spiritual growth operates on laws that are completely opposite to the natural world. To go up, you must go down in humility. To be full, you must first be emptied. Discover the three vital roots that will sustain your spiritual life and protect your calling: - The Root of Life (The Church): Staying connected to the vine. Like a cut flower, you cannot survive isolated from the body of Christ. - The Root of Truth: Confronting self-deception. Every compromise creates a future reality that will eventually demand payment. - The Root of Responsibility: Moving from the laziness of immaturity to the discipline of maturity. Loving Jesus means taking responsibility for His sheep. Don't settle for "good" when God has called you to "great," and don't mistake religious activity for spiritual vitality. Listen to this message, examine your roots, and allow God to perform a miracle of restoration and next-level empowerment in your life!

Many Christians don’t know they are used by the devil. The church today is in trouble because it has been using the tactics of the world to build the Kingdom of God…and such tactics just do not work. The enemy is a theologian and his role is to test, accuse, condemn you and at the same time inject pride and false humility into you. This anointed teaching will reveal how  God can deliver you from all of the aforementioned tactics by the enemy and ensure you are serving only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

In this power-packed final message of the series about the devil’s playbook, pastor Maksim uses the Word to empower you to not use your emotions as directives to follow but rather information to analyze, while also revealing the greatest open door for satanic influence in your life. You will appreciate the power of forgiveness in a whole new dimension and detect the early signs of falling away from faith. A sermon you don’t want to miss a second of!

What happens in your mind is very important in the spiritual war because your thoughts are the seed for your words, your words for your actions, your actions for your habits and your habits are the seed for your destiny. This message brings a new level of spiritual maturity for your life to help you successfully defeat the enemy’s attacks and decipher his playbook.

The world is not our home, but we will prosper wherever we are planted (like Daniel and Joseph) because we carry a spirit of excellence. Excellence is not only what you do but who you are, in the name of Jesus! Your excellence is judged based on the level you are operating currently. The spirit of excellence means you are trustworthy, faithful, unchanging, outstanding, giving your best…but not a perfectionist. This powerful sermon will unravel the different fascinating layers of the spirit of excellence and help you choose to be excellent in every area of your life!

The people we meet become part of our destiny and our history. If you want to accomplish anything significant in life, you need divine partnerships, however a partnership that is not of God will never have the ability to reproduce. Watch this sermon to learn how to establish and sustain divine partnerships and become the partner you imagine to have! 

In this exclusive Q&A session, pastor Maksim delves deep into the most asked about questions the church is facing today. Learn about Awakening Church's core beliefs and DNA, how to stay close to Jesus when everything around you is trying to pull you away from Him, how to stay consistent and be led by the Holy Spirit and so much more!

Do you experience challenges that seem insurmountable? In life, we often face difficulties that test our faith and resilience. But how can we keep our strength and endure to the end? The Sermon "How to Endure to the End?" will show you how to go through trials with faith and confidence. God gives us the strength to keep going even when the road seems difficult.

God's word is alive and active. 2000 years ago people had the same problems as you have today, but only with the proper authority of the Bible will you have Divine Stability.

The resurrection is the historical fact that is the nail in the coffin of all other religions and human ideologies. Jesus is the only one who resurrected. Jesus defeated death forever. Faith in Christ is enough to get you to heaven. Only through the Holy Spirit can heaven come to earth. That's the goal. God gave you this infusion of his power to change the world through you! The gifts are given for general use. What do you have to do to receive these gifts?

Just as in a dance you move together as in a community, so do the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit move together in a perfect union. Something invisible is creating an attraction. That's the Holy Spirit that attracts you to the Church. The Holy Spirit makes you interesting. And once you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, your nature changes. Jesus says when you receive the Holy Spirit you will be His witness. The great attraction to the Church is the Holy Spirit, anything else is a substitute. Invite the Holy Spirit to come in your life, and renew His wonders in your day.

This message will elevate your understanding of the person, presence and power of the Holly Spirit to another higher level. You will understand the significance of the “Eternal Dance of Love”, the Trinity, the incarnation of Jesus and so much more.
