Mercy Culture

Pastor Steve’s Summer of Prayer message, “The Prayer That Changes Everything,” focused on how prayer transforms our lives and aligns us with God’s will. He emphasized that prayer is more than asking — it’s a conversation with our Father, rooted in intimacy and obedience. Using examples from Scripture, including David and the Lord’s Prayer, he encouraged believers to surrender daily, seek God’s presence with expectation, and engage in personal encounters that bring breakthrough, provision, and spiritual clarity. The message called the Church to a lifestyle of continual prayer, obedience, and holy alignment with God’s heart.

Pastor Clay’s Summer of Prayer message, “Holy is Your Name,” invites us to learn how to pray and encounter God personally. He emphasizes that prayer is a conversation with our Father, made possible by Jesus restoring intimacy with God. The teaching explores the radical meaning of “Our Father,” the access it gives us, and how God’s holiness shapes our prayers and perspective. It encourages believers to connect with God daily, moving beyond ritual or church culture, and to step into encounters and visitations with expectation, boldness, and faith.

What if your sexuality isn't actually your identity? Three people who once identified within the LGBTQ+ community sat down to answer that question — and their testimonies are proof that Jesus still heals, still delivers, and still makes all things new. This isn't conversion therapy — it's freedom that comes only from encountering God. In today's episode, Jaelen, Mark, and Cheyenne get authentic about what God did when they stopped letting culture define them.

In this message, we begin our Summer of Prayer series by exploring the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” Pastor Dehavilland teaches why Jesus started prayer with relationship before requests and how understanding God as Father changes the way we approach Him.

Many believers know God as Savior but struggle to relate to Him as Father. Through Scripture, this message reveals how prayer flows from sonship, why the enemy attacks our identity, and how an orphan spirit can keep us from experiencing the confidence and intimacy God desires for His children.

You’ll also gain a biblical picture of what happens when you pray. Your prayers are not lost in the air—they rise before the throne of God, are received in Heaven, and become part of His purposes on the earth. As we examine the holiness of God, we are reminded that prayer is not simply about bringing requests; it is about encountering the One who is unlike any other.

Whether you are new to prayer or longing for a deeper relationship with God, this message will encourage you to approach Him with confidence, intimacy, and reverence. Prayer is not about saying the perfect words—it is about knowing your Father, encountering His holiness, and partnering with Heaven.

Because when you come to God in prayer, you acknowledge who He is: your Father, who is in Heaven, and whose name is holy.

We desire to live lives fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit! During this sermon, Pastor Jaco teaches us how to lead our homes in a way that invites the Lord into every area of our lives.
