Prayer isn't about performance. It's not a vending machine or a last resort. It's about relationship. This week, we'll explore one of Jesus' most hopeful yet often misunderstood invitations in Matthew 7:7-11. We'll look at how our past experiences can shape distorted views of intimacy, trust, and expectation, and how Jesus invites us to see prayer through a new lens. Whether prayer feels natural or unfamiliar, come discover how it can become a space of connection, transformation, and deeper relationship with God, and with the people around you.

We live in a world so loud it’s almost impossible to find a quiet moment. But Jesus offers something completely countercultural: an invitation into the secret, quiet place. This week, we’ll explore what it means to shut the door, silence the noise, and connect with God.

What if the people we overlook are the ones God sees most clearly? In this message, we explore Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep and His challenge not to despise the “little ones”—those on the margins, the quiet ones, the forgotten ones.

We're obsessed with life hacks. We are eager to learn the latest shortcut or way to cheat the system, but sometimes trying to get ahead quick can lead to a domino effect of disaster. In this message, we will look at the story of two disciples who wanted to cut in line for positions of power, damaging their relationships along the way, and how Jesus set things straight.

What if the greatest moral ethic isn’t just “Do no harm,” but “Go do good”? In this message, we’ll look at one of Jesus’ most famous commands, The Golden Rule, and how it flips our entire approach to relationships—from passive decency to proactive love. If you want to create goodness in your home, workplace, or church, this is how it starts.

Relational intelligence means recognizing that saying “no” isn’t about rejection—it’s about redirecting toward God’s best for us and others. Learn how the word “no” becomes a powerful tool for healthy boundaries and purposeful living that helps us connect with others, manage our emotions, and communicate more effectively.

In a world full of spin, filters, and vague communication, Jesus offers a better way. In this message, we explore how Jesus teaches us to speak with clarity, courage, and integrity—and why your honest words might be the most powerful thing you can give someone this week.

We all long for freedom, belonging, and meaning—but modern culture tells us to chase freedom at all costs, leaving us disconnected and empty. Join us this Sunday, April 20 for EASTER AT THE BYRD as we celebrate how Jesus' resurrection restores our relationship with God and gives our lives eternal meaning, inviting us into a story bigger than ourselves—one where we are fully known, deeply loved, and truly free.
