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…
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. When your faith is anchored in His limitless ability, nothing can stop your prayers from breaking through.
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. If your prayer life feels weak, inconsistent, or discouraging, it may be because you haven't yet fully encountered who it is you're praying to. When you truly know God's character, prayer stops being a religious duty and…
Importune Intercession
Prayer that refuses to quit is the most powerful force available to every believer, and most of us are barely scratching the surface. In this message, I teach on importune intercession: the kind of persistent, Spirit-fueled prayer that stands in the gap for the lost, the sick, and the broken until the answer breaks through.
Fasting: Getting Serious with God
As Life Church launches its annual 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Pastor Mirek Hufton delivers a compelling case for why fasting is one of the most powerful, and most neglected, tools in the Christian life. Drawing from Joel 2:12, Pastor Hufton defines fasting as deliberately abstaining from food for spiritual purposes, a act of humility that weakens the…
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…
Connecting To God's Power
The church today faces a crisis: we are moving away from the very power God designed us to carry. Drawing from Acts 1, Pastor Mirek Hufton unpacks "the promise of the Father", not salvation, but the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and why every believer desperately needs it for these last days. Walking through Acts 2, 8, 9, 10, and 19, Pastor Hufton…
Connecting To The Power Of The Holy Spirit
Continuing his series on connection, Pastor Mirek Hufton delivers a compelling case for why connecting to the Holy Spirit is the most vital, life-changing connection any believer can make. Just as electrical voltage determines power output, from a dim 12-volt battery to a 10,000-volt substation, your connection to the Holy Spirit determines the degree to…
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…
