Lay it Down

April 2, 2023 • Les Bon-Bernard • Matthew 26:39–42

Time is up. Jesus’ arrest is about to happen; the cross awaits. This weekend we take in Jesus' agony as He cries out to God, and yet chooses to surrender to God’s plan. Jesus lays it all down … and chooses you.

You Belong

March 26, 2023 • Kyle Trigg • John 17:9–26

Do you feel alone or forgotten? Ever wonder if God sees you? Did you know that Jesus prayed for you, and it’s right in your Bible? When we feel overwhelmed or forgotten, take comfort knowing He prayed for us - and still does.

Be All In

March 19, 2023 • James Paton • John 17:1–6

Jesus doesn’t have long to go before facing the cross. As He prays for Himself, He prays that God’s glory will be made known through what comes next. Let’s slow down to be with Jesus.

Let Go

March 12, 2023 • James Paton • John 12:27–28

When you’re faced with the hardest moments in life, where do you turn? Do you find yourself taking a closed-off or open posture? What can we learn from how Jesus prayed as He looked ahead to His coming death?

Thank God

March 5, 2023 • Matthew 11:25–26

Ever felt misunderstood? Even when people didn’t really understand Jesus, He prayed with a thankful heart - which isn’t our usual response! Maybe as we learn to pray with Jesus, our hearts can be changed.

Start with Jesus

February 26, 2023 • Kyle Trigg • Matthew 6:9–13

When you pray, what does it sound like? A wish list? A cry for help? What - or who - do you focus on? It hard to know how to pray! Leading up to Easter, let’s pray through the very prayers of Jesus in the Bible, starting with the blueprint He gave us.
