    "When You Pray - Part 4" - 1.29.2023

    "When You Pray - Part 4" - 1.29.2023
    This week, Lead Pastor Mike Mozingo closed out our sermon series on prayer. 'Instead of asking God to do something for you, ask God to REVEAL something in you.' Dangerous prayers such as 'God search me ...' can lead to questions of where are you in your walk with Christ? Are there things in your life that hurt, sadden, and anger God? Asking him to reveal those will take you out of your comfort zone, and may be a little difficult to hear, but in the end, your relationship with God will be stronger and more intimate than before! Continue listening to hear more on dangerous prayers we should be praying and how God is leading you to a deeper relationship with him.

    'Healthy Relationships Make Life Together Better' - 10.9.2022

    'Healthy Relationships Make Life Together Better' - 10.9.2022
    This week Lead Pastor, Mike Mozingo, encouraged us to examine our heart and our relationships. We have all been hurt and gone through hard times, it's what we do with those situations, people, and how we trust in God during this time that matters the most. 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.' Genesis 50:20 Continue listening to see how God can take a situation and instead of letting it make you bitter, let God make the situations better.
