What if prayer could actually change the world? What if your quiet, persistent prayers were part of something far bigger than you imagined? In this powerful message, Jonathan Dove explores the line from the Lord’s Prayer: “Your kingdom come” — and unpacks what it means to contend in prayer for real change in our lives, our cities, and the world.

Simple Prayer: Father (Luke 11:2-4) | Lui Ponifasio

What if prayer didn’t have to be complicated? What if the heart of prayer was simply this: knowing God as your Father? In this message from our new series Simple Prayer, we explore the first word Jesus uses in teaching us how to pray—Father. This isn't just about technique or tradition. It's about relationship, identity, and the intimate, powerful access we have to God through Christ.
Whether you're new to prayer or have prayed for decades, this message invites you to rediscover prayer as a simple, honest connection with a loving Father who listens, who cares, and who calls you his child.

We’re kicking off our Simple Prayer series by diving into one of the most radical lines Jesus ever taught: “Hallowed be your name.” What does that ancient word actually mean? And why does Jesus start here? This message will reframe how you see prayer—and maybe even how you see your life.
Join us as we unpack the surprising simplicity and depth of the Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11.

What if your laughter wasn’t rooted in disbelief… but in deep trust?
In this message, Yvonne Barker unpacks the story of Abraham and Sarah — a couple who waited 25 years for a promise that seemed laughable. Through stories of waiting, grief, breakthrough, and joy, we’re reminded that God's timing may test us, but His faithfulness never fails.
Whether you’re in the middle of a long wait or standing in answered prayer, this message invites you to laugh with God — not because it’s funny, but because He is faithful.

Under pressure, our true selves are revealed—but so is God’s unshakable grace. In this message, we explore the story of Abraham, who fails not once, but twice—yet God remains faithful. It’s a powerful reminder that even in our worst moments, we are never beyond the reach of grace, and never too far for God to write a better story.

Faith isn’t certainty but the courage to bring your toughest questions to God. Through Abraham’s bold negotiation over Sodom, we learn that pilgrimage fosters real friendship—inviting us to wrestle with injustice, pray vulnerably for others, and drop the façade of perfect belief, culminating in Jesus, who perfectly unites justice and mercy.
