Relentless Prayer

Matthew 6:5-15

Prayer is not our last resort, it is our first response!

What happens when I pray first instead of last? 1. Prayer reminds me who I am! 2. Prayer raises my eyes above my circumstances. 3. Prayer aligns my heart with God’s purpose. 4. Prayer teaches me daily dependence. 5. Prayer keeps me living in God’s grace. 6. Prayer teaches me how to follow God’s leadership.

Devoted to God's Word

Psalm 119: 97-105, 107, & 109

We are shaped by whatever we consistently listen to, and God's Word leads us into life.

1. Focusing on God’s word, shapes how we understand the world around us. 2. Understanding God’s word protects us from unnecessary pain. 3. Following God’s word leads us to the life we actually want an abundant life.

Unity in Diversity

John 17:1-26

When we choose unity over preference, the world sees Jesus more clearly.

What kind of community makes Jesus believable? 1. We are a community protected by God. 2. We are a community transformed by God’s truth. 3. We are a community unity for God’s mission.

Gospel Transformation

2 Corinthians 5:11-21

The Gospel makes us brand new people sent to help others discover Jesus.

What does it mean to live transformed by the gospel? 1. What is driving my life? 2. Who am I becoming? 3. Who am I becoming?

Worship and Response

Micah 6:8,7:7

Micah is not a book that ends with information; it ends with a decision. God Has Spoken. Now We Must Decide.

Let this be your "As for me" moment. 1. As for me... I will Look (focus) 2. As for me... I will Wait (trust) 3. As for me... I will Rest (in His care)

The God Who Delights in Mercy

Micah 7:1,7-20

Our Hope Comes from the Truth of God’s Mercy and His Faithfulness.

So what do you do when the world you live in is falling apart? 1. You Choose 2. You Remember 3. You Worship

When the World Falls Apart

Micah 6:8-7:6

When the world feels broken and unstable, we don’t give in to despair; we fix our eyes on God, trust His control, and rest in His care.

How do we respond when the world around us feels broken and out of control? 1. Fix your focus on the God who is personally with you. 2. Trust the God who is still in control. 3. Rest in the confidence that God sees and responds.

What God Requires

Micah 6:1-8

God is not after religious performance; He desires a people whose lives reflect His character.

What does God actually want from me? 1. God wants you to remember who He is and what He’s done. 2. God does not want performance; He wants a relationship. 3. God wants a transformed life that reflects His heart.
