MT. ARARAT - MOUNTAIN MOMENTS

Today, Lead Pastor Jon Henninger kicked off a brand new series about Mountain Moments. Up first, Mt. Ararat. Mt. Ararat represents grace, faithfulness, and a fresh start. God is still guiding, protecting, and preparing a place of rest for us. The story of Mt. Ararat shows us the power of trusting God when we do not understand the process, serving while we wait, and worshiping both in the storm and after the breakthrough.

BREAK MY HEART - STORIES OF UNCOMFORTABLE PRAYERS

When was the last time you allowed your heart to break for what breaks God's heart? This Mother's Day, we wrapped up our series on uncomfortable prayers with one of the most transformative: "Break my heart for what breaks Yours." It's not about adding more to our plates, it's about alignment with the God's will. Like Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6:9-10, we're bringing heaven to earth. When we surrender our plans and take up our cross daily, Jesus carries the heaviest part. The question is: will you pray the uncomfortable prayer?

WHY GOD? - STORIES OF UNCOMFORTABLE PRAYERS

We’re in week 3 of our series, Stories of Uncomfortable Prayers, where we're learning to step out of the comfort zones of our prayer life to pray prayers that stretch us and challenge us to grow in our faith. These are the prayers that aren’t easy to say, but often lead to even greater trust in God. This week, we’ll hear about the challenging prayer of “Why God?” as we study the life of Job, a man who lost nearly everything he had. In the middle of his suffering, Job wrestled honestly with God, showing you and me that even our hardest questions can be a powerful part of our relationship with Him.

SEND ME - STORIES OF UNCOMFORTABLE PRAYERS

Lead Pastor, Jon Henninger is bringing us a powerful word about the uncomfortable prayer: “Send me,” a challenge to be taken into new spaces, places, and positions in order to share the Good News of Jesus.

SEARCH ME - STORIES OF UNCOMFORTABLE PRAYERS

Our comfort zones are a place where we feel safe, it’s familiar, it’s…comfortable. But our prayer life was never meant to stay in that safe zone, God wants us to pray prayers that stretch us and challenge us. Prayers that allow us to grow and experience even more of His power than ever before. And that’s what we’re diving into in this series. Throughout the next four weeks, we’re going to discover stories throughout scripture of those uncomfortable prayers that can change our life. In today’s message, we'll look the uncomfortable prayer of King David in Psalm 139. He says “search me,” and it’s an invitation for God to look inside our hearts and show us our sins, our weaknesses, and our faults.
