1 Samuel 23 with Joshua Lewis Before David ever became king, God formed him in the wilderness. In this message from 1 Samuel 23, we explore how God uses seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and hardship to teach us dependence and reveal where our true strength is found.

1 Samuel 17 with Ryan Datuin Fear has a way of making our problems look bigger and God look smaller. While everyone else saw an impossible giant, David remembered the faithfulness of God. Join us as we explore how remembering God’s faithfulness gives us courage to trust Him, repent of misplaced hope, and run toward the battles He has called us to face. Ultimately, David points us to Jesus, our true King and Savior.

1 Samuel 16:1-13 with Joshua LewisSamuel sees failure. God sees a future. As Samuel grieves Saul's downfall, God sends him to Bethlehem to anoint a new king. But God's choice isn't the strongest, oldest, or most impressive candidate. In this message from 1 Samuel 16:1-13, we discover what kind of people God is actually looking for: men and women who are running after His heart.

Sermon delivered by Joshua LewisThe story of David begins in a nation marked by desperation, spiritual decline, and a longing for security. Through Hannah’s prayer, Samuel’s leadership, and Israel’s demand for a king, we see how easily fear can push us toward control instead of trust. Part 1 of our series, A House For Your Name.

Sermon delivered by Joshua LewisHow do we hear the voice of God? And how do we discern whether it’s really Him speaking? In the final week of our Teach Us To Pray series, we explore the practice of listening prayer. We’ll talk about the voice of God and how followers of Jesus can learn to recognize the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit.

What if prayer isn’t mostly about getting things from God… but joining Him in bringing heaven to earth? This week we explore intercessory prayer: praying for others, contending for God’s Kingdom, and becoming people who carry names, places, and situations into the presence of God. Through stories of Monica and Augustine, Scripture, and practical next steps, we ask: Who are you carrying into the presence of God?

What if prayer isn’t advanced Christianity… but the baseline of the Christian life?In John 15, Jesus invites us into “the abiding life” — a life of staying connected to Him in the middle of ordinary life. In a world filled with distraction, exhaustion, anxiety, performance, and noise, Jesus offers something different: connection, communion, rest, and life.This sermon explores: • What it means to abide in Christ • The cost of living spiritually disconnected • Why Jesus Himself had a prayer life • Historic Christian practices that help cultivate a life of prayer

Luke 10:38-42 with Joshua LewisIn a world built to fracture our attention and exhaust our souls, what does it actually mean to be with God? This teaching explores distraction, anxiety, presence, and why many of us are physically near God while our attention is somewhere else entirely.

Romans 8:12–17 with Shaun GarmanThe Bible calls believers to live by the Holy Spirit, embracing their identity as adopted children of God instead of fear and self-reliance. Through prayer and the Spirit, Christians are invited into intimate relationship with the Father, secure inheritance in Christ, and hope through suffering as members of God’s family.

Luke 11:1-13 with Joshua LewisDoes prayer actually work? Jesus doesn’t answer that question with a technique, but with a relationship. In this teaching from Luke 11, we explore what prayer really is, why it matters, and how to keep praying even when it feels like nothing is happening. If you’ve ever wondered why your prayers seem unanswered, or if you’ve felt disappointed by prayer, this message is for you.
