Heaven Speaks - The Angel Gabriel and Mary by Beacon Church

In this Advent message, Matt DaCosta opens our new series Heaven Speaks by walking us through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1. Drawing from a season of divine silence broken by God’s surprising intervention, Matt helps us explore what it means to trust God when our prayers seem unanswered, when His timing confuses us, and when His voice feels distant.

This week, Owen Hylton powerfully concluded the prayer series by speaking on the armour of God. He explained that prayer is a form of spiritual warfare, meaning we are contending with an unseen yet very real realm. God provides His people with spiritual armour to stand against the forces of evil and to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. As believers, this armour is not given to keep us in constant anxiety or to make us look over our shoulders, but to encourage us to pray—knowing that we have full access to God’s provision so that we can stand firm and pray on all occasions.

This week, Owen continues our prayer series with a gracious reflection on God as our Father. He highlights that approaching God in this way can be challenging, especially if our relationship with our earthly father has shaped our expectations. Owen explains that our relationship with God is not meant to be transactional but deeply relational. Understanding God as Father influences how we respond to unanswered prayer, reminding us that, as His children, we are called to trust Him. Knowing God by His fatherly nature—and by His other attributes—helps us grow in deeper relationship with Him. Ultimately, it is not about us; it is and always will be about God.

This week, Jonny Rudd continues to speak wonderfully about the importance of prayer being the fruit and not the root. He explains that in order for us to pray and hold fast to God in prayer, we must know Him—and the key way we can do that is by reading the Bible, remembering the Word, and knowing God’s character. It is through the Bible that believers are able to pray to God, trust Him and build within the church family, even when the storms of life hit.

This week, Owen wonderfully begins our new series on prayer, exploring the importance of looking to God and what that truly means. He shares how we can turn to God and pray even when life feels challenging or bleak. Through prayer, we’re reminded of God’s nature and character — that when we fix our focus on Him, we can trust that He is the one who answers and responds in His perfect way.

This week, Owen Hylton shares his reflections on what God has revealed to us through our study of the Gifts of the Spirit. Drawing from these insights, Owen encourages the church to desire the gifts, to pursue them through prayer and by serving from a place of love, and to allow the Lord to lead you as you spend time with Him and in His Word.
