There is a very famous place I had never heard of before this last month. It’s St. Peter's Church Hall in Liverpool, England. On the inside, it looks like a typical church gym except for the ornate wood cathedral ceiling and missing basketball hoops. Several years ago, St. Peter's was ...read more

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 19, 2025

God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more

Anxiety: Fear Of Losing Control Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 10, 2015
