That They May Be One: In the Centre of His Love
Throughout the history of the church, we have been called to encounter and know God personally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In this message, we continue the conversation on Jesus’ deepest longing: for the Father to be glorified and for us to partake in the unity that is defined within the Trinity (John 17:20-26). By yielding to this desire for oneness with him and each other, we find life and
That They May Be One
This week we delve into John 17:20-23, and what it means to live in unity with God and each-other. We are called not only to receive his love, but to participate in it. By denying our flesh daily, we make room for the new work God wants to do in us. His desire is for us to have minds governed by the Spirit, to then walk in true peace, freedom, and life (Romans 8:5-8).

The Promise of Pentecost
In this message, we celebrate Pentecost Sunday and discover how it is a pattern of kingdom fruitfulness. Because Jesus has already fulfilled this pattern, we bear fruit simply by remaining in him. We are prompted to offer God our first fruits and our suffering as a prophetic signal of future glory while continuously praying: “Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me a
Another Advocate: Clothed with Power
In this message, we learn that the Holy Spirit will not only be in us and with us, but will also come upon us (Acts 1:8). When we yield to the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered for a purpose: to witness and point others to Jesus. We receive this manifestation of the Spirit by humbling ourselves and making room for God’s sovereignty. “‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says
The Wonders of Grace
God wants to show us the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:1-9). In this message, we are invited to surrender the limits we have placed on ourselves and allow the fullness of his grace to take us beyond them. We do this with the Holy Spirit, who leads us to experience the wonders of God’s grace in alignment with the truth of his goodness
Another Advocate: Face to Face with Fear
God commands us to not be afraid and promises to be with us (Joshua 1:9). In this message, we are urged to be led by the Spirit of Truth in confronting our fears and the deeper wounds behind them so we can walk in the fullness of God’s love. With the Spirit, we are equipped to face our giants courageously because we know God is with us.

Another Advocate: Our Faithful Friend
God never intended for us to move through life alone, but to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). In this message we continue learning what it means to walk with the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. We are invited to step into a greater intimacy and life aligned with his truth — a greater friendship with the Holy Spirit.

To Love and Be Loved
God is looking for worshippers who worship in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24). In this message, we are encouraged to pursue an intimate, authentic relationship with our Father, who longs to reveal himself to us. When we come face to face with him in worship and prayer, we open ourselves to receiving his love in return.

Another Advocate
Jesus has called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow him (Luke 9:23). In this message, we learn that the way to do this is through the Holy Spirit, who is a person that dwells within us. We are invited to build a relationship with him by surrendering control and trusting him wholeheartedly.

Embracing the Mystery
He is risen! As we read Mark 16:1-8, we celebrate that Jesus’ resurrection was not the end of the story, but just the beginning. He has set us free to fill us with the same power that raised him from the dead and to proclaim that life has the final say. As his followers, sometimes we just need to embrace the mystery of faith and simply believe.

Rescued to Restore: Heaven is at Hand
This week, we dive into 2 Corinthians 5:14-21, learning what it means to walk as true ambassadors of Christ. God’s design is to have his presence flow through us so that it touches the world around us. When we freely give away what he has given us, we begin to experience his freedom and truth more fully. He invites us to let go of fear and comfort, and to step forward into the light, knowing we ar
Rescued to Restore: From Accusation to Authority
As God’s royal priests, we have been given a vision from heaven to rebuild and are called to take our position as his representatives here on earth. In this message, we get a deeper understanding of the distinction between the lies of the accuser and the truth of the Holy Spirit who lives within us. When we obey the voice of our Advocate, we grow in spiritual maturity that enables us to lead other
Rescued to Restore
In this message, we read Isaiah 61 through the lens of Luke 4:14-20 to see how Jesus came not only to fulfill Scripture but to demonstrate his power. Like him, we have been anointed by the Spirit in order to display the splendour of the kingdom of God. By obediently walking with the Holy Spirit, we find our purpose, and we are empowered to rebuild, restore, and renew the world around us.

Known Unknowns
As followers of Jesus, we are both walking in the promise of his kingdom and preparing for his return. In this message, we draw from Mark 1:1-8 and Luke 7:29-30, where we learn that the way to keep ourselves prepared is through maintaining a posture of humility and repenting. Repentance realigns our heart with God’s so that we can live in the fullness of our identity in Christ.

Known By His Name: Working Out What He’s Working In
God is calling our church to be witnesses to the power of the Cross — to display his manifold wisdom to all the powers of the air (Ephesians 3:10-11). This confrontation invites us to bear the responsibility of being known by his name by rejecting self-exaltation and false humility, and recognizing the times he uses us to show the world his nature, authority, and presence. In this message, we are
Known By His Name: His Wounds for Ours
Jesus came to make us whole. He takes our sin, our shame, and our pride, and through his love, heals our deepest wounds. In this message, we explore how shame and pride can keep us trapped and distant from God, protecting places in our hearts that he longs to access. Jesus empathizes with our weakness and invites us to bring every part of ourselves to him. Through his wounds, we find mercy, grace,
Known By His Name: Put Off, Put On
In this message, we continue in the story of Nehemiah and learn how to recognize what is an attack and what is an infiltration of the enemy. The place of God’s presence in our souls is a contested space — we are called to put off whatever belongs to our earthly nature and put on the new self we have in Christ (Colossians 3:5-10).www.churchuntitled.com
Baptism Sunday | Feb 8, 2026
Baptism is a public declaration against all other rulers and authorities that Jesus is Lord and has the final say. In this message, we dive into Colossians 2 and are brought into a greater reality of the authority of Christ and the fullness of the Spirit living in us. When we are baptized, we are putting to death our old flesh, being buried with Christ, and are raised to new life through faith in
Known By His Name: I Will Not Come Down
In this message we continue to go deeper into what it means to be known by the name of Jesus, the name above all names. Through scripture we know that our position in him cannot be moved, yet the enemy will try to displace our confidence in Jesus. Our spiritual warfare is to stand firm in Jesus, in his mighty power!www.churchuntitled.com
Known By His Name: Belonging
Through Jesus, we have been adopted as sons and daughters of God, and the Spirit he gives us testifies to this reality by crying out to our Father (Galatians 4:4-6). In this message, we are reminded that as his heirs, we belong to him not because of what we do, but because of what Christ has already done. Our lives reflect that belonging as we walk in the freedom of knowing who we are in him.-----
Known By His Name: This is Eternal Life
From the beginning, God’s heart has always been to be known by his people. In this message, we see how the Lord proclaims his name throughout Scripture — from Moses in the Book of Exodus to the revelation of the Father in Jesus — so that we may relationally experience him. When we draw closer to him, the enemy has no room to distort our vision of who he is, and the Spirit leads us into the eternal
Known By His Name
When we take delight in the Lord, he promises to give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4). In this message, we see how David embodied this posture through his desire to build a dwelling place for God’s presence. When God becomes our delight, our desires align with his, and we are invited into the same pattern: God dwelling among his people so his name is known and made known through them.---
The Miracle and the Mindset (2026)
As we welcome the new year, we are invited to recalibrate our mindsets in response to the miracles Jesus has already shown us. In Mark 8, we learn how to apply his nature to our circumstances. God trains us to be fully dependent on him so that whether we are in a season of poverty or prosperity, we continue to aim toward the ultimate prize: his presence. -----Creating moments with Jesus that becom
Framed by His Faithfulness (2025)
The faithfulness of God is established in heaven (Psalm 89:2). In this message, we look at the story of Abraham and Sarah, whose confidence in the Lord’s faithfulness inspires us to make our home in his promise. We are encouraged to let heaven’s reality inform our earthly one, knowing that we can declare him faithful because the Cross already did. -----Creating moments with Jesus that become the m
His Worth
Jesus’ arrival on Christmas confronted the status quo, exposing every rival throne and inviting us to consider what we may be unwilling to surrender to him. In this message, we learn from Matthew 2 as an example of how to respond to Jesus when we recognize him as our Lord and Saviour — with joy and wholehearted worship. Even though worship is costly, we offer him everything because he is worth tha
A House of Prayer: The Power of Truth
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13). As we look at the final line of the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is pointing us toward a deeper truth, a new reality, where the Cross has the final say and the enemy has no influence over our lives. In this message, we discuss how temptation and testing is a setup for this truth to be applied and for God to receive the ult
A House of Prayer: Where Justice and Mercy Meet
“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). In this message, we examine the necessity of forgiveness — and how holding on to un-forgiveness leaves us vulnerable to the influence of the enemy. We are invited to participate in the power of the Cross by not only receiving the Father’s love but also expressing it to others through forgiveness.-----Creating moments
A House of Prayer: Daily Bread
“Give us today our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11). In this message, we are reminded to approach our Father in prayer with thanksgiving, for he is the one who faithfully gives us enough for today. We learn how to joyfully choose to depend on him by recognizing that Jesus — the bread of life — is the only thing that satisfies.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouT
A House of Prayer: The Secret Place
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven…” (Matthew 6:10). Prayer increases our exposure to heaven. In this message, we dive deeper into Jesus’ invitation to surrender our will by choosing him as our ultimate reward. We do this by closing the door to all other rewards to meet with him in the secret place of prayer.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements
A House of Prayer: In Awe and Wonder
“Hallowed be your name…” (Matthew 6:9). As we examine the second line of the Lord’s Prayer, we recognize that God’s name — his character, authority, and nature — is holy and higher than any other. In this message, we learn what it means to have a healthy fear of the Lord in the honouring of his name.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Ne
A House of Prayer: The Security of the Father
“Our Father in heaven…” (Matthew 6:9). This week, we start our study of the Lord’s Prayer from a place of security — by knowing who we are in him. Jesus invites us to take our place as sons and daughters and follow him back home to the Father.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Newsletter
A House of Prayer
As his people, Jesus has made us his new temple—his house of prayer (Luke 19:46). Prayer is a meeting place where we connect with the source of life, and through us, a river of his living water flows into the world. This week, let us be encouraged to pray with intention, removing anything that hinders God’s presence, and trusting that when we draw near to him, he will meet us there.-----Creating m
In Him
This week, we are reminded of the spiritual realities of this world and the confidence we have in Christ, because his Spirit within us is greater than all the powers of this world. In Jesus, we are not only saved but sanctified by the truth of his word (John 17:15-19). As we align ourselves with the truth and remain in him, the enemy’s lies have no authority over us.-----Creating moments with Jesu
To Him (2025)
As disciples of Jesus, we are called to daily deny ourselves and orient our lives toward him (Matthew 16:24-25). By joining in this heavenly posture, we enter a spiritual realm where we are made whole and experience unwavering peace, love, and joy. In this message, we are reminded that Jesus has saved us from the deception of the world and invited us into a life of freedom and faith.-----Creating
Family Matters: The Manifestation of Love
As the body of Christ, we eagerly pursue the gifts of the Spirit for the sake of the common good. In this message, we take a closer look at the gift of prophecy — how it is meant to strengthen, encourage, and comfort one another (1 Corinthians 14:1-3). Through the expression of these gifts, we build the family of God and form an immune system anchored in truth and love against the influence of the
Family Matters: The Groan and The Glory
Creation is groaning for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed. In this message, we dive into Romans 8 — where we discover the importance of sharing Jesus’ inheritance as co-heirs of God’s glory. Jesus brings us into this family, and through the Spirit, that family comes alive within us.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Newslett
Family Matters: Serving the Body
In Christ, we are all different parts of one complete body (Romans 12:4-5). In this message, we explore what it looks like to serve each another using the unique gifts God gives us — it is not optional but instead a natural response to how Jesus first served us. It is a radical, counter-cultural declaration of our faith in the family of God and to the powers at work in the world.-----Creating mome
Family Matters: Broken Open
When we break the bread of communion, we not only remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross but become unified as the family of God. We are reminded to break open our own lives and draw nearer to each other. In doing so, we find wholeness that is only possible and available within the body of Christ (Psalm 68:5-6).-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsite
Family Matters: Back to the Table
Jesus’ love speaks a better word over the shame in our past and our fears for the future (Ephesians 3:18-19). At the table of communion, we are reminded of this powerful love and who we are in him. It is where we find Jesus and he finds us. -----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Newsletter
Family Matters: Back to Baseline
As we continue the conversation about family, we’re reminded of Jesus’ command to love each other. This isn’t just a principle — it’s the power that builds the church, heals brokenness, and reveals God’s presence in the world. Sacrificial, self giving, persevering love between his people is the very influence that the gates of hell cannot overcome.-----Creating moments with Jesus that become the m
Baptism Sunday
While sin offers temporary satisfaction, Jesus offers something better — his everlasting love. In this message, we are reminded of what baptism means — publicly rejecting the kingdom of darkness and accepting the kingdom of light. Our sins are washed away, and we are new creations in the name of Jesus. -----Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingTh
Set Free to Live Free
Worship is the result and expression of the freedom that Jesus bought for us with his blood (Revelation 1:5-6). In this message, we dive into the book of Exodus to understand how the journey from slavery to freedom comes with obstacles that give us a choice — whether to follow the voices of slavery or allow ourselves to be attuned to a better voice, God’s voice.__Creating moments with Jesus that b
Set Apart
As God’s chosen people, we are set apart as members of his royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). As royal priests, we are called to consecrate ourselves to keep our hearts fixed on him -- rejecting the lusts of the flesh, eyes and the pride of life. In this message, we explore how consecration clarifies our love for God and keeps us ready for Jesus’ return.__Creating moments with Jesus that become the m
Be Perfect - Part Two
The more we become like Jesus, the more we step into who we were made to be. In this message, we deepen our understanding of how obedience aligns us with God’s love and walks us toward our destiny. As 2 Peter 1:3-11 reminds us, we have been given everything we need to grow in Jesus' likeness — and we are called to make every effort to become like him: whole, mature, fully formed in love, and livin
Be Perfect
“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48). In this message, we unpack Jesus’ words — not as a call to perfectionism, but to wholeness and a higher vision for our lives. By grace, we’re invited to become like Jesus — complete and lacking nothing.__Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Newsletter
Take Courage
Following Jesus doesn’t always come with a clear map. In this message, we look at the moment Peter steps out of the boat—not just out of boldness, but because he believed in the sustaining power and nature of Jesus. What if the storm is the very place Jesus wants to meet you? This is an invitation to train ourselves in his voice, to grow through testing, and to walk together as a people who take c
Delighting in His Discipline
Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Lord disciplines those he loves and calls us to run with endurance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. His correction is not rejection, but instead it is the way he trains us in righteousness and brings us into maturity. In this message, we explore what it means to throw off every weight and sin and trust that we have everything we need in him.__Creating moments with Jesus th
Participating in the Divine Nature
In this message, we explore how the gospel invites us to participate in the life God has for us. We’re not meant to just survive or break even. God wants to share what he is doing and we are invited in by the Holy Spirit. This isn’t about efficiency or performance; it’s about presence, obedience, and surrender. He desires relationship and honesty as he leads us into the fullness of who he created
One Thing Lacking
What’s keeping you from fully trusting Jesus? In this message, we look at the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler — a man who had everything, yet still lacked the one thing that truly mattered. Through Mark 10, Philippians 3, and Matthew 16, we explore how Jesus lovingly exposes what holds us back, not to shame us, but to lead us into joy. This isn’t just a call to lay something down,
Functional Grace
Grace isn’t just pardon for the past or hope for the future—it’s power for the present. In this message, we explore how grace enables us to walk by the Spirit, resist the flesh, and live in step with God. Obedience flows not from striving, but from engaging the grace that empowers us to follow Jesus.__Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----YouTubeWebsiteGivingThe Newsl
Working Out What He’s Working In
In Colossians 1:9–14, Paul prays that we would be filled—not by effort, but by the Spirit—with the knowledge of God’s will. When we make space for his will, other things lose their grip. The call isn’t to strive harder but to live as vessels, surrendered and responsive, bearing fruit, growing in spiritual understanding, and strengthened to endure—with joy. What might change if we actually trusted
Formed by His Voice
This message invites us into a collective journey of learning to recognize and respond to the voice of Jesus, our Shepherd. We’re not gathering around a personality or platform, but around a sound: his voice, calling us as one people. Through scripture and the leading of the Spirit, we’ll explore what it means to be formed together by his voice.__Creating moments with Jesus that become the movemen
The Voice of the Shepherd
In this message, we reflect on what it means to truly follow the voice of our Shepherd. Jesus’ voice brings safety, direction, and life, even when it confronts our flesh or leads us through suffering. Are we willing to obey without fully understanding? As we respond to his voice, we’re transformed. This isn’t about proving ourselves or seeking signs, but it’s about trusting the One who speaks life
Obedience is Worship
This week, we explore the story of Saul in 1 Samuel 15 and the deeper call to obedience. Not out of fear, but as a response to love. Saul’s disobedience reveals a heart distanced from God, while Jesus models perfect obedience through the cross. Let’s reflect on obedience shaped by trust, love, and the power of the Holy Spirit.__Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----Yo
Generational Blessings
Faith isn’t meant to be hidden in our heart; it’s meant to show up in our hands. God’s promises are more than words—they’re backed by his very nature, confirmed by covenant and oath. What we carry today is meant to be seen, so the next generation can say with confidence: this is what God did. Every promise of God is more than a hope; it’s a guarantee, secured in the unchanging nature of who he is.
The King's King: The Fight to Focus
Get ready to dive into David’s fierce devotion, Psalm 132’s longing, and Jesus’ consuming zeal for his Father’s house.

Through Jesus, the ultimate mercy seat, God’s throne now resides within us, where mercy triumphs over sin every single day. Experience the
The Path to Power: Weakness in God's Hand
What does Jesus’ resurrection mean for our lives? Culture teaches us that strength is found in independence, covering our weaknesses and putting our trust in ourselves. But through his example on the cross and resurrection, Jesus teaches us that true power is found in placing our weakness in God’s hands. Only until we recognize and bring our weakness to Jesus, can we know him and experience his po
Still Consecrated
Following Jesus means we'll encounter signs and miracles along our journey. However, we can become overly focused on seeking these good things and lose sight of Jesus himself. We must be careful not to settle for the signs alone, but rather recognize the One they point to. It's essential to stay connected to his presence and focus on the One who truly matters. He invites us to prepare our hearts f
For Joy
The expression of God’s kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy—showing his work in and around us. Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before him, and now he invites us to share in that same joy. It’s not based on circumstances but anchored in God’s constant presence, steady no matter what we face. This joy isn’t meant to be hidden—it’s meant to reveal his kingdom through our lives and show t
Family Matters: Love at Work
Love is often underestimated, seen as weak or too simplistic. Yet, Jesus demonstrated that his love—specifically within family—is the antidote to the powers of hell at work in the world. His love isn't just about belonging or becoming; it's a call to action to live like him by truly loving others—including our enemies—through the love we first receive from God.Matthew 16:17-191 Corinthians 1:181 J
Family Matters: Becoming
God's love for us will always meet us where we are, but it will never leave us there. The motive of his love is never punishment, but instead loving discipline, emphasizing that we belong before we behave. In Jesus, we discover our worth is not earned through performance, but freely given.1 John 3:1-3Hebrew 12:4-131 Corinthians 9:24-27Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.
Family Matters: Belonging
Love operating within God's family counteracts destructive worldly influences, challenging false narratives of fear, rejection, and performance that shape our identity. Romans 8 reminds us we're adopted into sonship—a position received through Jesus's sacrifice rather than earned through behaviour.Romans 8:14-17John 14:23-24Creating moments with Jesus that become the movements of Jesus.-----The Al
Family Matters
The world tells us power and control lead to victory, but Jesus shows us a different strategy: a love stronger than death that disarms darkness at its root. In Matthew 16, Jesus declares, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” His church isn’t just a good idea — it’s a family, built on this love, under the influence of the Father.Matthew 16:13-20John 3:161 Corinthia
The Miracle and the Mindset: Faith that Shapes You
In Mark 4, when Jesus said to the disciples in the boat “Let us go to the other side,”—he was making a promise. A promise that his presence is with us, his word is faithful, and his peace is stronger than any storm. While his disciples panicked in the chaos of the storm, Jesus fell asleep, modelling the peace we too can embody amid the chaos. Jesus' invites us beyond 'saving faith' into 'shaping f
The Miracle and the Mindset: In Us, Through Us
In John 21, John knew Jesus' love for him and could recognize him from a distance. In contrast, Peter needed John's help to identify Jesus and be reminded of his true identity in him. Similarly, when we open our hearts to God and surrender to his work in us, we become like John—secure in our identity as his sons and daughters, part of his family. As we do this, we embody the work of the Spirit, al
The Miracle and the Mindset: Did I Not Tell You?
In John 11, Martha and Mary respond to their brother’s death in two distinct ways. Martha comes to Jesus with reasoned answers and a logical approach, while Mary simply falls at his feet in trust. Similarly, we can approach God with all the right words yet still miss the deeper truth of who he has revealed himself to be. But when we take him at his word, we can move beyond fear—the intimidation of
The Miracle and the Mindset: Am I My Brother's Keeper?
At the beginning of scripture, God asks humanity two questions: "Where are you?" and "Where is your brother?" Yet, when we hear these questions, our hearts often struggle to answer. Either, we feel as though we’re either falling short—burdened with shame and condemnation—or we're pushing ourselves too hard—leading to burnout and exhaustion. But Jesus invites us to come to him and take on his yoke,
The Miracle and the Mindset: No Influence in My Body
In his obedience, Jesus established a culture of truth and love rooted in the Father’s will. Yet, the enemy seeks to disrupt this culture through offense in our relationships. In those moments, we face a choice: to close off our hearts or to forgive and let God's love overflow toward one another. By following Jesus' example, we can view these challenges as opportunities that prove God's love for u
The Miracle and the Mindset: Making the Connection
In the story of the disciples in the boat, Jesus asks us "Do you still not understand?" In this question lies God's heart for his creation to know and understand him. When we don't make the connection between God's nature to our circumstances, the enemy steals the seeds sown to us. However, if we understand who he is and why it matters for our lives, his promise is that we will be fruitful.Bible V
Baptism Sunday | January 2025
No matter who we are, we are being influenced by someone or something - the world, our flesh, or the powers of the air. When we follow these things, they will only delay suffering and inevitably lead to death. But when we choose to follow Jesus, we find new life that only he can give. As we loose our life to Jesus, we find a life that cannot be taken from us. Through baptism, we declare that he is
The Miracle and the Mindset: Crazy Simple Faith
When we face a point of need, we have two choices: to worry or to worship. When we dwell on our lack, our hearts naturally lean toward anxiety or striving in our own strength. But when we focus on who we have, we can embrace God's nature—the One who provides for every need. Jesus invites us to a crazy simple faith: to make the connection between our need and the One who fulfills it.Bible Verses:Ma

In Mark's gospel, the disciples, concerned about forgetting bread despite Jesus just multiplying loaves, are confronted by him in their thoughts and conversation.

At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus reads from Isaiah 61, offering comfort to the brokenhearted and proclaiming good news.

Too often, we struggle to receive his provision because we’re still holding onto the very thing

When we pray or ask God for something, past experiences with unanswered prayers can often influence our approach. However, when we pray as friends of God, our approach shifts.

Rather than questioning whether God is able, we begin to ask with a deeper understanding of his heart. God invi

During the Advent season, we reflect on the gifts that Jesus brings: hope, peace, joy, and love. Why do these promises sometimes feel out of reach even though they are always available to us?

Often, we miss th
