This week Pastor Peter continues our series through Jesus’ prayer in the garden. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. John 17: 14-16 (CSB)

I guarded them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled. 13 Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them. John 17: 12-13 (CSB)

Jesus’ Garden Prayer – week 1

Every year we begin with a series on prayer. This week guest speaker, Kyle Danielson, opens the word to John 17 and shares that the glory of Christ permeates everything. 1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus…

Entering Your Father’s House

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;    my soul thirsts for you;my flesh faints for you,    as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1

Praying Together – securing our hearts to God

This week we continue learning about prayer. Pastor Peter asks the question, if prayer is personal do we need to pray in groups? He unpacks Matthew 6:9-13 to tell us God’s answer. 9 “Therefore, you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven,your name be honored as holy.10 Your kingdom come.Your will be doneon earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And do not bring us into temptation,but deliver us…

Prayer and Fasting – securing our hearts to God

This week Pastor Peter continued our series on prayer and taught from Matthew 6:16-18. These verses teach us that prayer and fasting are our way to declare our dependence on God. 16 “Whenever you fast, don’t be gloomy like the hypocrites. For they disfigure their faces so that their fasting is obvious to people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that your fasting isn’t obvious to others but…

Whenever You Pray

This week Pastor Peter asks the question: How do we maintain a personal and intimate connection to God where we recognize our deep dependence on Him regardless of our circumstances? 5 “Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your…
