Prayer & Fasting
Stepping Into a New Season
Life moves through seasons, spring's growth, summer's labor, fall's harvest, and winter's rest. But what happens when we lose our way between seasons? Pastor Bob Wright delivered an encouraging message reminding believers that God never abandons them when they drift off course. Anchoring his message in Galatians 6:9, Ecclesiastes 3:1, and John 15:4, Pastor…
Lessons From Zerubbabel
Zerubbabel faced seventeen years of delay, opposition, and personal doubt before completing God's assignment, rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem. Pastor Linda Hufton draws powerful lessons from his story, focusing on Zechariah 4:6: "Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord." She unpacks the distinction between these two Hebrew words:…
The Five Pillars of Effective Prayer Pt. 2
Prayer works, but only when it's rooted in knowing who God is and what He's capable of. In this powerful message, I walk our congregation through the second pillar of effective prayer: knowing the power of God.

The Five Pillars of Effective Prayer Pt. 1
In this opening message of a new series, I dig into the first and most foundational pillar of effective prayer, knowing the person of God.

I Will Follow Where You Lead
In this message, Pastor Willie Russell challenges believers to examine whether they are truly following Jesus or simply walking alongside Him, or worse, expecting Him to follow them. Drawing from Jesus' wilderness temptation, Pastor Russell shows that even Christ was led by the Holy Spirit, not merely released into the wild. When the devil tried to redirect…
Fasting & Prayer Brings Breakthrough Power
In this passionate exhortation, Pastor Mirek Hufton calls the church to rediscover fasting as an essential spiritual discipline, not merely for the 21-day fast, but as a lifelong lifestyle. Drawing from Matthew 17:19-21, Pastor Hufton highlights Jesus' own words: "This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." When the disciples couldn't cast out…
God Hears Your Prayers
Drawing from the story of Cornelius, a Roman centurion who prayed faithfully and gave generously to the poor, Pastor Mirek Hufton delivered a powerful message that our prayers genuinely reach the throne of God in heaven. The central truth: prayer and lifestyle are inseparable. Cornelius was unsaved, yet his consistent prayer and compassionate giving became…
