This message is an invitation to pray bold prayers, expect God to move, and welcome the Holy Spirit into every part of your life. If you’ve ever wondered how to pray or if your prayers matter this is for you. Prayer isn’t reserved for the super spiritual it’s for anyone willing to ask, seek, and knock. God responds to shameless persistence. He fills the earth with power when His people pray.

We were created with a purpose to bring pleasure to God. Scripture tells us that He delights in all He has made and finds joy when we walk closely with Him. This message explores what it means to truly live a life that pleases God. From believing in His Son, to being led by His Spirit, to walking in faith, obedience, and sacrificial worship each step draws us deeper into alignment with His heart. Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey or you’ve been walking with Jesus for years, this teaching is a reminder that God’s pleasure isn’t found in performance but in relationship. Let this message inspire you to live with intentionality, knowing that your life can bring joy to the One who created you.

Money isn’t just a financial issue it’s a heart issue. In this message, we explore why many of us struggle to steward money biblically: because no one taught us, because it’s how we cope with stress, and because money has become an idol. Scripture gives us a better way: Put God first, keep the Kingdom 2nd , prioritize your needs 3rd, meet the needs of others 4th , plan for the future 5th, and address your wants last. As Matthew 6:21 reminds us, where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. This is a battle Satan loves but your heart is worth fighting for.

What does it really mean to live for the Kingdom of God? This week, we’re diving into what it looks like to steward God’s Kingdom right here on earth. Jesus calls us to live with purpose: to stay humble, honor God, and walk in real holiness. That means letting go of pride, choosing to value what He values, and finding joy in living a life set apart for Him. The Kingdom is here.

Why don’t we pray and praise more often? Maybe it’s because we wonder if God is even listening. Maybe we’ve grown weary of waiting or disappointed when things don’t go the way we hoped. But in this message, we’re reminded that even in the darkest seasons when it feels like we’re in a prison, worship is still a powerful weapon.We learn how to romantically remember what God has done, sarcastically celebrate what He’s doing, demonstratively declare who He is, annoyingly remind the enemy of what He’s capable of, and unapologetically rejoice in the Lord no matter the circumstance!

From the burning bush to prophetic promises, Scripture reveals a divine pattern. God calls Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - three generations working in harmony.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV) As believers, we’re called to live fully in that light protecting it, growing it, and letting it shine so brightly that it becomes a floodlight for the world around us. Before light comes, there is darkness -- but through salvation, the light of Christ invades the darkness and transforms us from the inside out. So how do we protect the light? And how do we let it radiate from the inside of us?

On Easter Sunday, Preston Morrison breaks down “How Jesus Restored Friendship With God.” Since the garden, sin created a separation between us and God. But on the cross, Jesus bridged the gap once and for all — and one of the primary reasons He did it may surprise you — He desires to be intimately connected to His best friend — YOU!

Anxiety. Worry. Fear. These feelings often weigh heavy on our hearts—but what if Jesus Himself said, “Stop being anxious”?

In a world obsessed with building our own kingdoms—perfect marriages, perfect careers, perfect security—Jesus calls us to something better: His Kingdom.
