Unhindered Prayers | ACTS: The Movement | July 05, 2026

Are your prayers being hindered? In this powerful message, “Unhindered Prayers,” we look at what Scripture teaches about prayer that is powerful and effective. James 5:16 reminds us that “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” But the Bible also shows us that certain things can block, weaken, or hinder our prayers. From unbelief and unforgiveness to unconfessed sin, wrong motives, and spiritual unawareness, God’s Word gives us clear direction on how to pray with a clean heart and a surrendered life. Prayer is not about speaking well; it is about hearing well. It is an ongoing conversation with God. In this sermon, discover 8 hindrances to effective prayer and how to remove what may be standing between you and a deeper prayer life. If you desire a stronger connection with God, a more effective prayer life, and a heart aligned with His Word, this message is for you.

Communion in Prayer | ACTS: The Movement | June 28, 2026

Prayer is more than asking God for help, prayer is communion with God. In this message from Acts: The Movement, we explore what it means to become a praying church and how prayer helps us become relationally connected, spiritually aligned, and functionally sourced by God. Using Acts 12:1-5 and the powerful moment when “the church prayed very earnestly,” this sermon unpacks how prayer activates our connection with God, draws us into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and strengthens us to live with faith, purpose, courage, and spiritual power. Whether you are building a prayer life for the first time or recommitting to a deeper walk with God, this message will encourage you to stop treating prayer like a ritual and start experiencing it as relationship.

Huh...Come Again | MIDWEEK | June 24, 2026

Have you ever felt like God was speaking… but you weren’t sure what He was saying? In Huh…Come Again, we walk through 1 Samuel 3:1-10 and the story of young Samuel learning to recognize the voice of God. This message challenges us to stay faithful in difficult seasons, live with expectancy, move forward even when we feel inadequate, and remain willing to return to God again and again when He calls. God is still speaking. The question is: Are we listening? Hold the line. Expect with eagerness. Act in faith. Return when He calls.

Confidence in Prayer | ACTS: The Movement | June 21, 2026

Do you struggle to feel confident when you pray? In this powerful Father’s Day message from our ACTS: The Movement series, we continue exploring what it means to become a praying church and a praying people.  Looking at Acts 12:1–5, we see the early church praying very earnestly while Peter was in prison. This sermon builds confidence in prayer by reminding us that God’s presence is with us, we are invited to His throne, and our Father hears every word we pray.  You don’t have to pray from fear, insecurity, or uncertainty. Because of Jesus, you can approach God boldly, knowing that you are welcomed, loved, and heard. Commit or recommit today to building a strong prayer life with confidence that God is with you in it.

Run to Win! | 1 Corinthians | MIDWEEK | June 17, 2026

Are you living your faith casually, or are you running to win? In this message from 1 Corinthians 9, we dive into Paul’s challenge for believers to live with discipline, purpose, and eternal perspective. Just like an athlete trains with intention for a prize, followers of Jesus are called to pursue spiritual growth, practice self-control, and stay focused on what truly matters. Don’t spend your life chasing temporary rewards. Run your race with purpose, build faithfully in private, and keep your eyes fixed on the eternal prize God has prepared for you. Run with purpose. Train with discipline. Live for what lasts forever.
