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.

When waiting feels unbearable, our human frailty is exposed—but Genesis 16 reveals a God who sees, hears, and remains faithful even in our missteps. Will you keep waiting faithfully, trusting the One who never looks away?
