Join us this Sunday, February 18, for the first sermon based on Matthew 6:5-15, as we begin to unfold the Lord's Prayer and its profound implications for our faith journey

This week, we continue our series on the Lord's Prayer with a sermon that illuminates the profound meaning behind "hallowed be Thy name." Together, we'll seek to gain a deeper understanding of prayer's role in our lives, emphasizing reverence, relationship, and the transformative power of approaching God with a posture of holiness. Join us as we reflect on how this prayer guides us in honoring God's name, nurturing our spiritual journey, and living out our faith in everyday actions.

This week we continue our Sermon Series "Teach Us To Pray" out of Matthew chapter 6. When we pray "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven", we are interceding and becoming connectors between what is happening in the world and what God's will for the world actually is. This practice of intercession is more than just a practice, it is fundamental to our lives as Christians.

This week, please join us online or in person as we explore how intercessory prayer is core to our identity as followers of Jesus.

This Sunday we continue our journey through the Lord’s Prayer in our series: Teach Us To Pray. Pastor Jim will guide us through the profound simplicity of this request: give us this day our daily bread. Together, we'll explore the nature of petitionary prayer as a vital expression of faith, addressing the complexities of unanswered prayers and the misconception that petitions are a lesser form of prayer. Learn about what it means to adopt a daily posture of reliance and trust in God's breathtaking promises, as we seek to understand how this line from the Lord's Prayer teaches us to bring our personal needs before God, confident in his care for every aspect of our lives.

This Sunday we continue our journey through the Lord’s Prayer in our series: Teach Us To Pray. Dan Bilkert will guide us as we turn our hearts and minds to the petition "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one." By examining personal and biblical wilderness experiences, we will illuminate the nuanced meanings behind this request. Drawing upon language, historical context, and theological insights, we will seek to uncover the depths of our vulnerabilities and the strength found in God's protective grace. Join us as we seek guidance on navigating life's temptations and embracing the transformative journey towards spiritual fortitude and reliance on God's enduring presence.

In our study of the Lord’s prayer, we heard Jesus’ powerful invitation to pray for his kingdom to come and his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. That’s a huge ask! And we can pray that big prayer because we believe in a God who promises to move in miraculous ways among us. But sometimes we find ourselves praying for God to move for a really long time without seeing any results, and that can make us grow weary. So in Luke 18, Jesus used the Parable of the Persistent Widow to encourage us to “always pray and never give up”. We hope you’ll join us for this word of encouragement this Sunday!
