When we pray persistently, without losing hope, we put our trust in God. During week two of our series, Lauren Sheppard teaches on a parable where God tells us that the purpose of prayer is simply to always pray, and never give up.

The Bible says Jesus never spoke to crowds without using parables. A parable is a story, told alongside a truth, to help you understand that truth.

When expectations don’t meet reality, it creates distance between two people. Whether our response to this distance is positive or negative, there’s still a gap of unmet expectations.

Whether you are married, dating, or single, the strong temptations of sexual sin exist. Because of how destructive it can be, God commands us not to fight, but to sprint from it. During week three of our series, Pastor Brian shows what to run from, and what to run to, in order to avoid sexual sin.

God has a plan for each one of our relationships, and a specific plan for the relationship we have with our significant other. In week two of the series, Pastor Brian shows how to succeed in your relationships by understanding what the Bible says about the greatest need of the opposite sex.

The purpose of this series is centered around the idea that sin never stays small. But if we can stop things in their infancy, they will never reach maturity.

If you’ve ever found yourself feeling stuck or plateaued in your relationship with Jesus, you could be fighting the Baby Monster of “complacency”. During week three of the series, Pastor Brian discusses how we can slip into complacency, the dangers of it, and most importantly - how to avoid ever getting there.

When we live by standards that are lower than those set by God, we are allowing an unhealthy compromise, which is the quickest way to find yourself off the course of your God-given calling. In week two of this series, Pastor Brian uses the Biblical story of Sampson to show how even the strongest can fall because of compromises that are given room to grow. We can also see the steps to take in order to not let compromise take control of our lives.

Small things grow into big things. In the same way, minor challenges in life can become consuming if left unchecked. In week one of our new series, Pastor Brian shows how and why we should tame the monster of comparison.
