The repetition of going to God daily for bread is not just to have our needs met, but to deepen our relationship with the Father. This portion of the Lord's prayer grows our dependence on God, allowing us to trust that He will faithfully meet us in our circumstances and needs. In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives three reasons why we need to come to God for our daily bread.

The Lord's prayer is organized in such a way that it puts us into alignment with the way in which we should operate and prioritize our lives according to God's will and purpose. Our prayers are necessary to establish God's kingdom and more will being done in our city and our lives. In this week's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives us three ways in which the Lord's prayer helps us daily seek his kingdom.

This Sunday in our prayer series, In Jesus Name, David Chan explores the first line of the Lord's Prayer with four keys to expand our understanding of prayer. Jesus taught his followers to pray, reminding us that prayer isn't about "vain repetitions" (Matthew 6:7) or checking off a box but rather connecting with Our Father.

In Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes closing the door and communing with the Father who is in the unseen. But why is the secret place so important for the live of a Christian? In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Josh Kelsey gives eight reasons why we need to recover and establish an unseen prayer practice in our lives.

God wants to hear your voice. When we become aware of how much it cost God to be close to us, we value prayer all the more. How would it change your engagement with God if you assumed he already wanted to talk to you? There's no secret password or set of syllables you have to string together, but access to God being with opening your voice wherever you find yourself today. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives us three points on the purpose of prayer in our daily life.

When Jesus comes to visit the disciples on the beach after his resurrection, he comes in gentleness and love. Through his interaction with Peter, we see he is restored through grace and truth that is freely given to him regardless of his previous failures. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter shows the importance of fellowship with God, the extreme measures of grace shown to us, and the power of God's words over our circumstances.

As a church, we have been experiencing an outpouring of the Holy Spirit since Tuesday, July 2nd. God has been leading us to strip back to the basics in order to help us learn who we are and recognize our identity. In this Sunday's message, lead Pastor Josh Kelsey gives five points on how we can continue to seek the presence of God corporately and individually.

In the cross-fire of political turmoil, the wake of the pandemic, culture wars and social upheaval, the church is at a tipping point—a dark moment when many churches have lost their voice, their way and the trust of the rising generation. But this is also the perfect moment for God to move and answer people's most desperate prayers. God wants to prepare the way with a spiritual fount, an overflow of His love. How do we get ready for what God wants to do at this moment in history?

Whatever heaviness you are carrying can be exchanged for a garment of praise. When we come to God honest and transparent with where we are and what we are carrying, he is faithful to take our burdens and give us hope, life, and praise in return. In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Josh Kelsey discusses the origin of praise and how we can encounter a divine exchange today.

Attempting to gain the things of this world leads us into a pace of life that does violence to our souls. In a society that constantly tells us we are not enough, Jesus calls us into a better way of living: prioritizing his values, denying ourselves daily, and following his path. This Sunday, special guest Rich Villodas shared on finding peace and grace today by holding close the words of God and stepping out in faith that he is better than life itself.
