- 577Gaining The World, Losing Our SoulAttempting to gain the things of this world leads us into a pace of life that does violence to our souls. In a society that constantly tells us we are not enough, Jesus calls us into a better way of living: prioritizing his values, denying ourselves daily, and following his path. This Sunday, special guest Rich Villodas shared on finding peace and grace today by holding close the words of God and stepping out in faith that he is better than life itself.
- 578Garment of PraiseWhatever heaviness you are carrying can be exchanged for a garment of praise. When we come to God honest and transparent with where we are and what we are carrying, he is faithful to take our burdens and give us hope, life, and praise in return. In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Josh Kelsey discusses the origin of praise and how we can encounter a divine exchange today.
- 579Prepare the Way for the LordIn the cross-fire of political turmoil, the wake of the pandemic, culture wars and social upheaval, the church is at a tipping point—a dark moment when many churches have lost their voice, their way and the trust of the rising generation. But this is also the perfect moment for God to move and answer people's most desperate prayers. God wants to prepare the way with a spiritual fount, an overflow of His love. How do we get ready for what God wants to do at this moment in history?

- 582The Purpose of PrayerGod wants to hear your voice. When we become aware of how much it cost God to be close to us, we value prayer all the more.

There's no secret password or set of syllables you have to string together, but access to God being with opening your voice wherever you find yourself today. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives us three points on the purpose of prayer in our daily life.
- 583Secret Place: The UnseenIn Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes closing the door and communing with the Father who is in the unseen. But why is the secret place so important for the live of a Christian?

- 584Hallowed Be Your NameThis Sunday in our prayer series, In Jesus Name, David Chan explores the first line of the Lord's Prayer with four keys to expand our understanding of prayer.

- 585Yours, Not MineThe Lord's prayer is organized in such a way that it puts us into alignment with the way in which we should operate and prioritize our lives according to God's will and purpose.

In this week's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives us three ways in which the Lord's prayer helps us daily seek his kingdom.

In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter gives three reasons why we need to come to God for our daily bread.
- 587Tests & TemptationsAll throughout the Lord's prayer we get a glimpse into the heart and care of the Lord towards his people. God cares about our lives, and Jesus knows that the worst thing for us is to deliver us into sin that seeks to destroy us. He doesn't come to us with condemnation and shame, but as free and redeemed people who are seeking to become more like him. In this week's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter communicates the inevitability of temptation, but the resolve and strength we find in Jesus to fight, resist, and flee it.

- 594Don't Make Yourself at HomeScripture calls us "strangers of this world," because our true home is found in heavenly places, far beyond what our eyes can see.
