Much of our fear and resistance to prayer is rooted in the stories we tell ourselves about prayer. That it has to be a certain way. That it has to last a certain number of minutes. That it should be answered immediately. And rather than showing up…we give up and miss the gift of prayer. This message shows us not only the value of private/personal prayer…but a simple way to pray simply throughout our day until it becomes a practice that serves us for life.

Message taught by Pastor Jarrett Stevens.

As a church, we want prayer to be our first response, not our last resort. So as a church, we want to start the new year in prayer together. This Sunday we will leaned into different prayer postures and practices together as a community in order to begin the year by encountering God in new and powerful ways.

All of Scripture, and the entire Christmas story, culminates in one simple truth: God gave us Himself. In Jesus, we receive the fullness of God’s love, grace, and presence. He is Emmanuel (God with us) not just once in Bethlehem, but now and forever. This message centers the Christmas season back on the person of Christ, inviting us to reflect His character, embody His love, and offer His presence to a world longing for hope.

At Christmas, we celebrate the generosity of the God who so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son. The incarnation is the ultimate act of divine generosity, and it invites us to live open-handed lives in return. In a season where consumerism and scarcity mindsets often dominate, we’re reminded that giving isn’t about how much we have but how much we trust the One who provides.

The night Jesus was born, heaven declared “peace on earth.” But this peace wasn’t merely the absence of conflict. It was the presence of wholeness, reconciliation, and rest for weary souls. In a season often marked by chaos and hurry, Jesus offers us a peace that the world can’t give and circumstances can’t take away. This teaching explores how receiving God’s peace allows us to become people who bring peace in a world that desperately needs it. Taught by Pastor Jon Jorgenson.

We don’t choose to walk away from God — we drift. In this message, Pastor Jon reframes repentance not as guilt or punishment, but as a loving invitation to return home. If you feel far from God, this one’s for you.

Soul City Church celebrates 15 years of transformation in the heart of Chicago!

What began as a prayer and a dream has become a movement of people saying “yes” to Jesus — seeing lives, families, and our city transformed by His love.

We explore the “Paradox of Power” — Jesus’ upside-down teaching that true greatness isn’t found in control, status, or being in charge, but in choosing to serve others. Through Matthew 20 and real-life examples, we’re challenged to lay down our power, resist the world’s pursuit of control, and follow Jesus’ way of humility, service, and love. When the world goes high, we go low — not so with you. Taught by Pastor Jarrett Stevens.

Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and digital noise have become modern idols—things we reach for more often than we reach for God. This week’s teaching invites us to reclaim silence, turn down the noise, and make room for the voice of God to bring peace, clarity, and renewal in a distracted world. Taught by Pastor Jon Jorgenson.
