Through gentle reflection on Hebrews 12:2, you'll have space to become aware of what's weighing on your heart, release the things that bind you or hold you back, and hand them over to Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith. Leave this time strengthened, carrying renewed peace, love, and joy deep in your soul and even in your body. Perfect for bedtime, a quiet afternoon, or any moment you need to recenter in God's presence. Come as you are. Leave lighter.

Pastor Jimmy finishes the series on prayer with his own personal journey with prayer and a challenge with praise.

Pastor Jimmy shares the connection between prayer and the large biblical narrative of God's continued presence in our lives.

Colossians 4:2-3 reminds us that prayer opens doors, but God often uses people as the key. No one succeeds alone. Behind every breakthrough is a helper, a voice, a hand, or a recommendation that shifted everything. Stay watchful in prayer, remain thankful, and acknowledge those who stand with you.

Pastor Jimmy returns to talk about freedom in worship and prayer by looking at the life of David.

Luke 18: 1-8 Susan Scott preached on the unusual prayer practices of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus was steeped in the prayers of the Jewish people, but Luke recounts that he Jesus instructed his followers to pray in a different way, including for those that persecute you. The prayers of Jesus in Luke can be divided into two types. We pray for the glory of God's name, work, and kingdom, and we pray for our business, including our daily bread, the forgiveness of sins, and protection from temptation. Susan reminds us that Jesus also told the Parable of the Unjust Judge to remind us to always pray and not give up, just like the woman pursuing justice, and that God is always a just judge. Of course, wouldn't it be easier to have faith if God instantly answered our prayers instead of us having to wait? It would be nice but that places God in the role of being our servant instead of our lord. Oddly, when the disciples asked for more faith, Jesus told them it already takes very little faith to speak miracles into existence. Jesus wants us to not focus on amounts but rather on the love and greatness of God that can enable us to do the impossible. With this in mind, we must relentlessly pray with a steadfast faith and hope in God's goodness, justice, and mercy.

Guest Savannah Martin shares the connection between self dependence and prayer, and God's desire to break the spirit of self dependence in our lives.

Dylan Murphy shares his experience with confession and Psalm 51.

In Romans 8:15, Paul reminds us that we are no longer slaves to fear, but beloved children who can cry out, “Abba, Father.” In our city's fast pace, this is our holy pause—an alliance of hearts aligned with God's Spirit. Let us step into that rhythm of prayerful alliance as we breathe, pray, and move with the Spirit who reminds us we belong. If you are new to Community Church, WELCOME!

Bishop Chris Rowell from the Refreshing Place shares what God has shown him about prayer in connection to Matthew 6.

A look at Ephesians 1:15-23 from Noah Burnett.

A lengthy battle with a chronic illness had taken its toll on Jimmy. Though he desired to spend time with God each morning, praying to Him and meditating on the Scriptures, he couldn’t find a way to position his body in his chair that wasn’t painful. He shifted from side to side, but there was no relief. Finally, in desperation he fell to his knees. As he did, that prayerful posture proved to lessen the agonizing ache. In the mornings that followed, Jimmy spent time with God on his knees—experiencing comfort even as he called out to Him in prayer. Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, also faced a battle—not with pain but with threatening enemies (2 Chronicles 20:1-2). The king was “terrified by this news and begged the Lord for guidance” (v. 3 nlt). All the people of Judah sought “help from the Lord” as well (v. 4). God heard their prayers, and His Spirit came upon a Levite named Jahaziel, who delivered this comforting message to the king: “Do not be afraid or discouraged . . . . The Lord will be with you” (vv. 15, 17). Jehoshaphat “bowed down with his face to the ground” and everyone “fell down in worship before the Lord” (v. 18). In painful and challenging times, we can often experience God’s nearness in a powerful way. As He helps us submit to His will and live out a prayerful posture in our hearts, we can find comfort and peace in Him.

Colossians 4:2-6

She was undeterred by his reputation and he underestimated her persistence. Today, we are talking about the parable of the widow and the unjust judge. Jesus wanted his audience to understand the value of persistence in prayer. There is also a connection between our persistence prayer life and our testament of faith to the world.www.sitstillmydaughter.com

Any faithful believer will testify to the fact that prayer works. In unfaithfulness, God is faithful, but it is the prayers of the righteous that are accepted by God and are a stalwart part of his plan for his people. Exodus 32 offers the narrative of God's people creating a golden calf, an idol, and worshiping it. God's response was anger and seeming propensity to destroy his people who had turned from him. Moses, however, pleaded with God (prayed) causing God to relent. Did God, however, relent because of Moses' plea, or was it already a part of his plan? A deeper look into the text confirms God's sovereignty and plan to never abandon his people.

Pastor Tom kicks off our series on a prayerful life looking at Matt 6 and the sacred prayer room with God.

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Acts 17:25 NIV “He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Acts 17:28 NIV “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Colossians 1:16-17 NIV “...All things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” The Jesus Prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” The earliest attested references to a form of the Jesus Prayer appear in a letter traditionally attributed to John Chrysostom (AD 407). In a “Letter to an Abbot,” John Chrysostom makes mention of using "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy" (and also the plural variant "…have mercy on us") as a form of unceasing prayer.

What does one do when they are distressed and in turmoil? At times we may turn to other "saviors" thinking they will somehow bring deliverance. These are what Jonah calls "vain idols" (Jonah 2:8). What hope can they offer? And what is the true deliverance that we need? Jonah, being in the belly of the fish, helps us to see the One who is greater than him who brings a greater deliverance.1) The distress of the prophet2) The deliverance of the prophetText: Jonah 1:17-2:10

Blueprint | Building A Church For Impact | Pastor Michael Kennedy

At a recent Catholic annual meeting attended by multiple bishops, a priest made waves by claiming that masturbation can be a “moment of prayer” — a way to thank God for the gift of sexuality. In this episode, I break down exactly what he said, examine the reactions from clergy and attendees, and discuss how […]

As Jesus bleeds in Gethsemane and then submits to arrest, we see that the mission of God triumphs through prayerful suffering, not the self-defending sword.
