August 07 Don't Stop Praying l Terry Kurtz
How do you stay connected to God when life never seems to slow down? Most people don't struggle because they don't want to pray—they struggle because life is busy, distractions are everywhere, and sometimes they don't even know what to say. In this message from 1 Thessalonians 5:17, discover what Paul really meant when he said, "Pray continually." You'll see that prayer isn't another task to squeeze into your day—it's an ongoing relationship with a God who is always near.

In this message from Luke 8, discover how God uses life's tests to reveal the depth of our roots and grow our faith. Jesus' Parable of the Sower reminds us that trials don't create our roots—they reveal them.

June 01 Why We Reject What We Need Most | Ben Young
People reject good advice.
They push away people who care about them.
They resist change. Sometimes they even resist God.

Why?

In Luke 8, Jesus tells a story that helps explain why some hearts stay closed while others are transformed.

In this message, Ben Young explores one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the Parable of the Sower. Jesus compares God's truth to seed and our hearts to different kinds of soil.

Some hearts are open.
Some become hardened over time.
And some are ready to grow.

Whether you're wondering why someone you love seems far from God, struggling with your own spiritual growth, or simply trying to understand why change can be so difficult, this message offers hope.

Because no heart is beyond God's reach.
