Submerge Sermons

How do we learn to pray for more of God in our lives? Is asking for His blessing too selfish? What would it look like for Him to expand His influence through us? Learn with us from the little-known Old Testament story of Jabez--a guy familiar with pain but committed to prayer--who experienced a whole lot of God!

The next step deeper in our prayer lives involves moving from just talking to God--to actually listening. This involves making space for silence in our lives, and tuning into all the various ways God likes to speak to us (there's more than you think).

Prayers of Blessing are one of the most under-utilized spiritual practices we have available to us--they can be so impactful on us and others! In this service we kicked off our new series on deepening our prayer life by learning from Genesis through Jesus about the power of prayers of blessings (and some creative ways to practice it)...and you can get a "blessing prayer" prayed over you!

We wrapped up our series on Jesus' powerful story about a dad & his two sons, by learning what "prodigal" really means, and how it describes the heart of the father, the heart of God, and the kind of heart He wants us to have toward the lost...

The longer we follow Jesus, how do we avoid drifting toward having the heart of "the older brother" in Jesus' famous parable--a heart of bitterness, resentment, and judgment? This Sunday we learned together how to find the heart of "the Father" instead, and practical ways to live out grace, even toward the people that are the hardest for us...

On Sunday we kicked off our series submerging deep into a story that many scholars consider the greatest story ever told--Jesus' story of the prodigal son. We learned what it really means to choose our "bottom" & decide to turn around and come back home to God--and what's awaiting us there...

We're all dealt different cards in life--how will you play your hand? It's your choice, and God wants to help you! On Sunday we finished our series for May (Mental Health Awareness Month) by learning from the story of Job, about how to partner with God to navigate all that we face in life, and even find a full abundant life in the midst of it all.

What are most of your thoughts focused on lately? On Sunday in our series for May (Mental Health Awareness Month) we got super practical in learning how to partner with God to change our thought life--which overflows into all other areas of our lives! Learn with us wisdom from God's Word (and how psychology backs it up) to avoid the unhealthy thought patterns & learn to re-fcous our thoughts in helpful directions...

For Mother's Day, we learned from an "unsung hero mom" of the Bible about how to find courage & faith when facing the hard things in our lives, including mental health challenges. We learned why fear is NOT the opposite of courage, and why we can still have faith even when God isn't making sense...
