Many, if not most of us, feel like we're failing at prayer. We don't pray long enough or often enough, and we're not sure if we're praying the right way or for the right things. The truth is we're all novices at prayer, and we all need someone to teach us to pray. In this sermon, Pastor Jason Jackson reminds us of what Jesus taught us about praying and encourages us not to give up on seeking God through prayer.

We all ache for community, but few of us find it, even in the church. This week Pastor Jason Jackson discusses how Christianity is genetically communal and community is genetically difficult. This is particularly true in our culture where we prefer a life without restraints, but community requires constraint. In this light, Pastor Jason encourages us to move against the spirit of our age in order to find the community we long for and to encounter the God who calls us together.

How do we seek God through Scripture? We want to read the Bible, but we're not always sure why or how. Pastor Glenn Packiam outlines the 6 Acts of Scripture's Story, and then helps us know how to enter the Story, to let the Story enter us, and to see Jesus as the center of the Story.
