    The Language of Prayer
    Nov 16 2025
    Prayer is more than saying the right words. It is the daily practice of coming before God with honesty and trust. In this week of our Pray Bold series, Pastor John teaches the simple and powerful guidelines Jesus gives us for prayer.

    We explore what it means to keep prayer real, keep it simple, and keep at it even when it feels difficult. God hears your voice, loves your heart, and invites you to draw near with confidence.

    Use the questions below for reflection or small group discussion.

    Discussion Questions

    1) Which part of prayer feels hardest for you right now: honesty, simplicity, or consistency?
    2) When do you tend to make prayer more about performance than relationship?
    3) What helps you stay consistent in prayer when God feels silent?
    4) How can you pray more intentionally for the people Jesus loves?
    5) What is one prayer habit you could add, change, or restart this week?

    In Pray Bold – Week 2: Does It Make Any Difference? Pastor John reminds us that prayer is powerful, even when we don’t see immediate results.

    God hears every prayer. He may not answer in our timing, but His timing is always right. Through prayer, He grows our faith, builds endurance, and strengthens our trust in Him.

    This message invites us to keep praying boldly and trust that God is always working, even when it’s hard to see.

    Reflection Questions

    1) What makes prayer feel hard or discouraging for you?
    2) How can you tell when God is working even if you don’t see immediate results?
    3) What do you think God might be developing in you during seasons of waiting?
    4) How do patience and persistence strengthen our faith?
    5) How can you encourage someone else who feels like their prayers aren’t being heard?

  • Where Am I?

    Where Am I?
    Oct 5 2025
    In the first week of our series A Heart for the Lost, Pastor John invites us to examine our own spiritual growth. Before we can reach others with the love of Christ, we need to understand where we are in our relationship with Him.

    Through 2 Corinthians 13:11, we’re reminded that maturity in faith doesn’t happen by accident. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have followed Jesus for years, this message will help you take your next step toward spiritual growth.

    Discussion Questions:

    1) Where do you see yourself in your spiritual walk right now?
    2) What helps you grow most in your relationship with Jesus?
    3) What things tend to hold you back or cause you to stall?
    4) Who in your life can encourage you to keep growing in your faith?
    5) How can we, as a church, help one another move forward in our walk with Christ?

  • Three Snapshots

    Three Snapshots
    Oct 12 2025
    In A Heart for the Lost – Week 3, Pastor John shares three unforgettable stories from Luke 15: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son.

    Each parable reveals a different kind of “lost” person: those who wander away, those who don’t even realize they’re lost, and those who are too ashamed to come home. Yet each one matters deeply to God.

    This message challenges us to see people the way Jesus does and to live as both prayers and seekers, ready to show love, ask questions, listen well, and point others to Jesus.

    Reflection Questions

    1) Which of the three parables (sheep, coin, or son) resonates most with you and why?
    2) Who in your life has wandered away from faith, and how can you reach out to them this week?
    3) What keeps us, as believers, from seeking the lost the way Jesus did?
    4) How can the church avoid becoming comfortable while people around us are still lost?
    5) What does it look like to “be the salt” in your home, workplace, or neighborhood this week?

  • Be A Lighthouse

    Be A Lighthouse
    Oct 19 2025
    In A Heart for the Lost – Week 3, Pastor John challenges us to see evangelism not as a task for a few but as a calling for every believer.

    We are part of God’s mission to make Jesus known. Through prayer, obedience, and love, we can overcome fear and reach out to those around us. This message reminds us that we are not alone: God goes with us as we live out the Great Commission.

    Reflection Questions

    1) What fears or barriers make it difficult for you to share your faith?
    2) How can prayer help you overcome those fears?
    3) What does it mean to live “on mission” with God?
    4) Who are the five people you can begin praying for this week?
    5) How can you live for “an audience of One” in your daily life?

  • Be A Courageous Christian!

    Be A Courageous Christian!
    Oct 26 2025
    In the final message of A Heart for the Lost, Pastor John reminds us that we live in a “target-rich environment”: a world full of people who need Jesus.

    Through Scripture and practical examples, we’re challenged to stop waiting for others to come to church and start going into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities with the good news. Evangelism isn’t about being perfect or persuasive. It’s about loving people enough to tell them how Jesus has changed your life.

    This message encourages believers to be bold, to be wise, and to live courageously for Christ, because without Him, we can’t, and without us, He won’t.

    Reflection Questions
    1) What does it mean to “choose life” in your everyday decisions?
    2) Why do you think it’s so easy to chase the wrong things instead of God’s calling?
    3) How can you make your faith “contagious” through everyday interactions?
    4) Who are the five people you’re praying for, and how might you reach out to one this week?
    5) What keeps you from sharing your story, and how can prayer give you courage to try?

  • Pray Bold!

    Pray Bold!
    Nov 2 2025
    Prayer is more than words: it’s relationship.

    In this first message of Pray Bold, Pastor John helps us rediscover what prayer really is. Like Moses, we are reminded that we can’t move forward without God’s presence. Prayer brings perspective, changes our hearts, and helps us see through His eyes.

    Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or feel like a “pre-beginner” in prayer, this message will help you take your next step toward honest, bold, and life-giving communication with God.

    Reflection Questions

    1 ) How does prayer help you see your life from God’s perspective instead of your own?
    2) What are some “illusions of control” you find hardest to release to God?
    3) Which level of prayer do you tend to stay at (cliche, facts, opinions, emotions, or honest)?
    4) How might you make time this week to be still and listen for God’s voice?
    5) What would it look like to invite God into every room of your home or area of your life?
