We all love to experience God in large worship gatherings surrounded by other believers, but there is special intimacy with God available to us privately in the secret place.

Ben answers these questions and challenges us to ask God for big things in this College Night Sermon.

In this sermon from our January 2022 College Night service, Jordan Ramirez describes the three major aspects of a disciple's life and how to we can organize our lives around them.
