Train Your Heart To Trust
What if the thing you've been worrying about could become the thing you pray about? Trusting God doesn't mean you'll never feel afraid, it means you don't have to carry your fear by yourself. The next time your mind starts rehearsing everything that could go wrong, turn the worry into a prayer and remind yourself: You have a Father who knows what you need. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfrScripture References:Psalm 56, verses 1-4 – When afraid, David chooses to trust God.1 Samuel 21, verses 8-12 – Trapped in Gath, David becomes very afraid.Philippians 4, verse 6 – Present every request to God in prayer.Matthew 6, verses 31-32 – Don't worry, your Father knows what you need.

You Can Skip This!
Some hard things are part of growing. Others come from staying stuck in patterns God is trying to lead us out of. You may not be able to skip every difficult season, but you can stop letting fear, doubt, or disobedience keep you there longer than you need to be. When you can't skip what you're going through, praise can help you keep moving forward. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References:Hebrews 11, verses 29-31 – Red Sea crossed, Jericho fell, Rahab sparedNumbers 14, verse 2 – Israelites murmur against Moses and AaronJoshua 6, verses 9-10 – army marches silently until commanded to shoutMatthew 4, verses 1-11 – Jesus fasts, tempted by devil in wilderness

Hold On To Your Song (Jonathan Josephs)
Hold on to your praise, even in your darkest seasons. Drawing from the story of Paul and Silas in prison, this message reveals how worship isn’t a reflection of our current circumstances, but a declaration of God’s unchanging faithfulness. When we choose to praise God in the middle of pain, we invite His presence into our struggle and turn our deepest trials into a testimony for others. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References:Acts 16, verses 23-34 – Paul and Silas imprisonedPsalm 77, verse 6 – Psalmist remembers his song in the nightRevelation 4, verse 11 – Elders declare God worthy of glory, honor, powerColossians 3, verse 16 – Word of Christ dwells through psalms and songsExodus 14, verse 31 – Israel fears the Lord after Egypt's defeatExodus 15, verses 1-2 – Moses and Israel sing the Lord is their strengthExodus 15, verses 20-21 – Miriam leads women with tambourines and dancingPsalm 118, verses 14, 17 – The Lord is my strength, I shall liveMark 14, verse 26 – Jesus and disciples sing a hymn before Gethsemane

The Prayers You’re Not Proud Of
Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray.  Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References:James 5, verses 16-18 – Pray like Elijah Psalm 58, verses 6-8 – David prays honestly Luke 18, verses 9-14 – The Pharisee and the tax collectorRomans 8, verse 26 – The Holy Spirit intercedes for you1 Kings 17, verses 1-9 – Elijah is fed by ravens 1 Kings 18, verse 42 – Elijah bows with his face between his knees1 Kings 19, verses 3-6 – Elijah gives up, but God says “get up”

Filled By Faith!
You don't have to feel ready to move forward in faith. Sometimes growth looks like grieving what was, trusting God with what's missing, and still choosing to take the next best step.

If you’ve been feeling grateful AND sad, excited AND anxious, or blessed AND overwhelmed, this message is for you.  If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References:1 Samuel 16, verses 1-13 – Samuel anoints David as future king1 Samuel 3, verses 4-5 – The Lord calls out to young Samuel Additional Scriptures ReferencedRomans 10, verse 17 – Faith comes through hearing God's wordExodus 30, verses 22-33 – Recipe for the anointing oil's ingredientsMark 4, verses 26-29 – Seed grows secretly, unseen by farmerPsalm 37, verse 23 – A good man's steps are orderedJoel 2, verse 25 – God restores years the locust ate
