John 4:46:54 takes us back to Cana where Jesus performs his second sign. There is no formula we can use to get the answers to prayers we are seeking. Faith isn’t something we generate, but a gift we receive. There’s no right or wrong way to pray and all Jesus asks is that we come Read more

You may remember some of the Francis Chan films we watched last year on the Father, Son, and Spirit. Well, since then, they’ve produced three more that we’re going to view and discuss in November: Fellowship, Teaching, and Prayer.

A Wing and a Prayer (Part 1) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I sat down to write a message on the episode concerning Elijah and the widow’s son (1 Kings 17:17-24) last week. The more I studied, prayed, and considered the text, the more lessons on prayer jumped out at me. In fact, Read more

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Pastor Wendy spoke this Sunday while myself and a bunch of men skipped out to attend our annual retreat at Silver Birches Camp. Have you ever skipped to the end of a book and read the last page first? While I usually avoid such a practice, a line Read more

There’s no message to post from this Sunday, because I didn’t end up preaching—which is very odd for me! Here’s what happened: As I was finishing the worship set, I felt like we should take some time and pray for each other’s needs. We shared our requests and assigned different people to pray for each Read more
