We live in a world where the Holy Spirit is often misunderstood. Some attach His name to every feeling or impulse. Others reduce Him to an abstract doctrine. But Scripture paints a much clearer—and far more beautiful—picture.

In this week’s Guest Spotlight episode, Hiram Kemp takes us through what it really means to have the Spirit of God dwelling within. He shows how the Spirit’s presence isn’t about chasing signs or emotions—it’s about transformation that can be seen, felt, and lived out every day.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

✅ The biblical truth about the Spirit’s indwelling, and why it matters more than we realize
✅ Why the Spirit’s presence brings a unique joy the world can’t steal
✅ How the Spirit unites believers across differences and divisions
✅ The Spirit’s role in your growth, transformation, and daily sanctification
✅ The unseen ways the Spirit strengthens, intercedes, and sustains you

And more...

If you’ve ever asked, “How do I know the Spirit lives in me?” this message will meet you with clarity, conviction, and hope.

Have you ever knocked on a door and wondered if anyone was on the other side?

Prayer can feel that way.

We ask, we seek, we knock, and sometimes all we hear is silence.

But in Luke 11:9–13, Jesus pulls back the curtain on God’s heart.

He reminds us that prayer isn’t a gamble, it’s a guarantee because our Father is generous, faithful, and never tired of hearing from His children.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Teach Us Again series and discover what Jesus really meant when He said, Ask, and it will be given. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why Jesus commands us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking
✅ How God’s generosity shows up in the certainty of His response
✅ The promise behind “good gifts” and what that means for your prayers

If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were wasted words, this message will remind you that God is not reluctant—He is generous, and He is listening.

What do you do when life knocks on your door at midnight?

Not literally—but in those moments when you feel empty, weak, and out of answers.

That’s exactly the picture Jesus uses to teach us how to pray in Luke 11.

Prayer, He says, isn’t polished or polite.

It’s pounding on heaven’s door when you have nothing left to give.

It’s bold, shameless persistence that refuses to walk away until the Father responds.

In this week’s episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Teach Us Again series and discover why Jesus invites us to pray with a holy stubbornness.

Because while reluctant neighbors may sigh at midnight knocks, your Father in heaven never sleeps, never hides, and never says “don’t bother Me.”

He welcomes your persistence.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why Jesus tells a story about a midnight knock right after teaching the Lord’s Prayer
✅ The three movements of shameless prayer: dependence, persistence, and provision
✅ How to keep praying when the door feels closed and heaven seems silent
✅ Why God’s delays are not His denials, and how they shape your faith
✅ What it means to approach God with “holy stubbornness” that honors His heart

What if prayer wasn’t just about the “big” moments—eternity, salvation, or crisis?

What if God actually wanted you to bring Him your everyday needs—your bills, your battles, your bread?

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Teach Us Again series in Luke 11:3–4.

Last time, we focused on the Godward focus of prayer—His name, His kingdom, His glory. But Jesus doesn’t stop there. He teaches us that prayer is also about dependence, the humble trust of children who bring their Father everything.

This week, we’ll discover how prayer draws us into daily reliance on God for:
✅ Provision: asking for “daily bread” and learning to trust Him one day at a time
✅ Pardon: breathing in His forgiveness and breathing it back out toward others
✅ Protection: bringing Him even the temptations and secret battles no one else sees

If part one lifted our eyes to God’s greatness, part two places our empty hands into His goodness.

Because the God who rules the galaxies is not too big to notice when you’re hungry, hurting, or in need of mercy.

What if prayer wasn’t a performance, a formula, or a last resort in times of crisis?

What if it could be simple again—honest, bold, and deeply beautiful?

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, Ernest takes us into Luke 11, where the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally asked, “Lord, teach us to pray.”

What follows isn’t just a set of words to memorize, but an invitation to a relationship.

Jesus shows us how to pray as children who belong, not as strangers trying to impress.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
✅ Why prayer often feels like a burden—and how Jesus makes it a gift.
✅ The first three God-centered priorities Jesus teaches before we ever ask for our needs.
✅ What it means to call God “Father”—and why that was revolutionary.
✅ How prayer shifts the spotlight off ourselves and back onto God’s glory.
✅ What “Your kingdom come” really means for our lives right now.

If prayer has ever felt confusing, dry, or distant for you, this episode will help you rediscover prayer the way Jesus intended—real, relational, and renewing.

What if prayer wasn’t about the words you say—but the heart behind them?

In this week’s episode of Sunday Renewal, we continue our Summer Series with a timely message called “The Heart of Prayer.”

Drawing from Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Ernest walks us through Jesus’ teaching on prayer—not as a performance, but as a posture.

In a world where spiritual habits can easily become hollow rituals, this message is a powerful reminder that God is not impressed by long words or loud displays. He’s after your heart.

Whether you’ve struggled with what to say, how to say it, or if your prayers are even being heard—this episode will encourage you to draw near to God with honesty, humility, and purpose.

Because real prayer doesn’t begin in your mouth—it begins in your heart.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why Jesus warned against performative and repetitive prayers
✅ What it really means to pray “in secret” and seek God’s reward
✅ The danger of using prayer to impress people rather than connect with God
✅ How to shift your focus from saying the right words to having the right heart
✅ Why prayer is less about informing God and more about trusting Him
