The Practice of Sabbath is to be formed in rest. To Sabbath is to trust that God is working when we’re not, to embrace our limits, and to let go of our addiction to hurry, hustle, and proving our worth. This ancient practice is spiritual warfare in disguise because it fights back against the cultural lie that we are what we produce.

This message launches our Foundations series by exploring the practice of Sabbath not as a religious obligation, but as a rhythm that forms us into resilient disciples.

In this message from our House of Prayer series, we look at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9–14 and learn what it means to pray with intention.

From house arrest, he prays for a group of believers he’s never met, asking for things that matter eternally: spiritual wisdom, endurance, fruitfulness, strength, and joy.

Kim invites us to step beyond surface-level prayers and into deeper alignment with God’s heart. It’s about partnering with the Spirit to pray crafted, consistent prayers that shape people, not just circumstances.

In Ephesians 3:14–21, we hear the heartbeat of Paul grounded in the presence of God, not the pressure of circumstance. From a prison cell, Paul crafts a prayer, not for rescue, but for revelation. This week, we continued digging the well of prayer in our lives, homes, and church. Join us as we walk through Paul’s prayer and rediscover that God’s power in us is more than enough.

In the final section of John 17, Jesus prays for all future believers—that we would be one, just as He and the Father are one. This kind of unity isn’t just relational—it’s missional. It reveals God’s love to the world.

In this message, we explore what it means to be formed by His glory, anchored in His love, and united in purpose. Jesus’ prayer wasn’t that we would be taken out of the world—but that we would be shaped in it, together.

If you’ve been longing for deeper connection, clarity of mission, and a sense of belonging, this message is for you.

Andy invites us into the first movement of John 17, revealing the depth of His heart, mission, and fidelity to the Father’s will. Drawing from the imagery of a cluttered garage as a window into our lives, Andy walks us through how prayer opens us to God’s timing, character, and purpose. Jesus' prayer is not one of escape, but alignment.

What does it mean to pray with bold faith? In this teaching, we look at the early church in Acts and the example of Elijah in James 5. Bold prayers don’t begin with noise—they begin with listening. Join us as we explore what it means to be a Spirit-filled community marked by surrender, trust, and bold, effective prayer.ers

When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, it wasn’t quiet. Wind filled the room. Fire rested on each person. It was powerful, personal, and a little messy. But it was more than a moment—it was the beginning of a movement.

In Acts 2, we see what happens when heaven touches earth. The Spirit fills a room and fills individuals. He transforms hearts and empowers lives to make Jesus known. This outpouring wasn’t just for then—it’s still happening now.

In this message, we explore what it means to be a Spirit-filled church today. What does it look like to walk in the power of the Spirit—not just remember it? How do we live lives that carry both His presence and His purpose?

Join us as we press into the ongoing outpouring of the Holy Spirit and rediscover the fire of Pentecost.
