If there is one person we should model our prayer life after, it would be the one who understood it the most. Jesus prayed powerful prayers. Those prayers didn’t just move God to action, but it moved people to recognize the relationship our Heaven Father wants to have with them. If we are going to make the most of our prayer life, we need to understand how Jesus prayed, what He taught about praying and use it as model for our prayers. Listen in as Pastor Wil unpacks how to pray more like Jesus.

While it seems like nearly everyone prays at one time or another it also seems like people lack so much understanding of prayer and its multifaceted purposes. Is there a right time, a right tone, a right temperament that God requires before He listens to our prayers? Do we just submit our prayer requests and wait in line for God to answer? Does prayer even make a difference? People have more questions about prayer than they understand it. Join us as we begin to unpack how to develop a balanced prayer life.

When navigating the ups and downs of marriage, we often allow negative attitudes to creep into our relationship that can cause couples to get disconnected and isolated from one another. However, there are antidotes for those negative attitudes that will ultimately deepen and strengthen our marriage and honor God. In this last week of our series, we will examine those four negative attitudes that destroy relationships and the four antidotes that will enable us to thrive in a "For Better or Worse" marriage.

In navigating the ups and downs of marriage, one of the main sources of conflict is authority issues. Who calls the shots? God always works through authority, and we all have our assumptions about that. This week, we will unpack what the Bible says about authority and how we can understand authority in marriage, God’s way.

Keys are an interesting tool. They can unlock doors, treasure chests, secret compartments, and lock boxes, revealing the hidden secrets inside. They can even unlock success or unlock the heart of a special person. However, they are only useful if you use them for their intended purpose. Invite a friend to sit with you this week as we reveal six “Keys to a Thriving Marriage” that will help you navigate the ups and downs of marriage and other relationships.

Marriages are under attack today and facing tremendous challenges that seem insurmountable. The disposable relationships and throwaway marriages seem to permeate our culture. When the dream fades and the realities of life set in, many just throw in the towel and walk away. Over the next four weeks, we will explore the areas of our lives that destroy our relationships and how we can rebuild and strengthen them using Biblical principles. Listen in to learn how to navigate the highs and lows of a “For Better or Worse” marriage.

Show and tell is about introducing others to something they might not know about otherwise. Unless Christians show and tell, people won’t be introduced to Jesus. If you’ve been uncomfortable, reluctant, or even fearful about having a conversation about your faith this message is for you. Not only will you be encouraged, but you will also get equipped. This message might bring the change that would forever change someone else’s eternity.

Change creates tension. When change is forced on you, the natural response is to resist it, complain about it, or even reject it. But when you are included in the process of change, your willingness for change increases. What is a change that is overdue?  Jesus came to change your life, and He wants every life that is changed by Him to introduce others to the change He offers. Join us for this two-part series and see how God might be inviting you to change for the better.

Student Sunday -- Throw It Off What’s holding you back from getting closer to Jesus? In the Bible, we hear the story of a man who refused to stay stuck in the labels, limitations, and comforts that defined his old life. Before he could step into healing and purpose, he had to throw some things off. Too often, we hold on to the very things that prevent us from real freedom in God. Listen in as Pastor Blake shares how to discover what it means to throw off the old and fully follow Jesus into the life He is calling us to live.

Everyone wants to get the most out of life, but there is a difference between maxing out and maximizing life. One causes us to hit our limits, while the other helps us keep moving forward and thriving. Too often, people end up maxing out instead of maximizing their lives and continuing to hit their stride. You may be surprised to discover that many well-known biblical heroes maxed out at some point along the way to becoming heroes. The good news is that if you’ve maxed out, you can recover, reset, and begin hitting a new stride that leads to maximized living. Invite someone to sit with you as we wrap up the Lighten Up series together.
