Compass Church Bloomington-Normal

You've been praying for 21 days. Maybe you have felt God like never before, and he has answered your prayers. Or maybe you have struggled and feel discouraged. Either way, the question remains - why should I keep praying?

There may have been times when you prayed but it felt like God didn't answer. Your healing never came, your relationship is still broken, your account is still empty. Why did God do all the things Jesus asked him to? Why not us? Is that just "Jesus stuff" or is it for us today?

Have you ever been discouraged by prayer because you tried it but it didn’t work. Your healing never happened. The job opportunity passed you by. Your husband is still a jerk, and your teenager is still going off the rails. What is the deal with prayer? Why doesn’t it work sometimes? Is there something we are missing?

The magic in the story of Cinderella is that a poor girl with a crummy life had someone looking out for her with the power to change her circumstances. But what happens when the person who can actually do the magic is sidelined?

Why are you here? Listen as we hear from Ben Struss, a missionary and church planter in Indonesia, about discovering and pursuing God's distinct mission for your life.

Working out, flu shots, eating healthy...sometimes things that don’t feel very good or very fun can actually be the best thing for us. But we do them because we want to live the best life we can. Can bad be best in our spiritual lives as well?

Our fears have a way of attacking the most precious parts of our life and keeping us from living the life meant for us. Where is God in our fears?

Many people feel alone during the holidays, separated from God. But connection with God is only a person or two away...

As we get ready to face the holiday season, it's wonderful to know that God is with us in all the details of everyday life. He is with us even in our failures.

It’s easy to believe God is with us on the mountain tops, when everything in life is going great. But what about when we lose a job, feel alone, are scared and hurting, or get a bad medical report? Where is God in times of desperation and loneliness? Where is God in our valleys?
