SERMON SERIES INTRODUCTION

Many of us come to prayer hoping God will change our circumstances - open a door, fix a problem, or ease a burden. But prayer is first the place where God meets us and begins to shape us. As we step into this new year, we sense the Spirit gently inviting us into something deeper: to become a people whose lives are shaped by prayer. 

This 7 week sermon series will begin on February 15, 2026.

  • Ignite a renewed hunger and desire for prayer across our church
  • Cultivate deeper, richer rhythms of personal prayer in everyday life
