Mark 4:35-41
35That same day, after it grew dark, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” 36Leaving the crowd behind, the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting, and they took him with them. Other boats sailed with them. 37Suddenly, as they were crossing the lake, a ferocious storm arose, with violent winds and waves that were crashing into the boat until it was nearly swamped 38But Jesus was calmly sleeping in the stern, resting on a cushion. 39So they shook him awake, saying, “Teacher, don’t you even care that we are all about to die!” Fully awake, he rebuked the storm and shouted to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became perfectly calm.
40Then he turned to his disciples and said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Haven’t you learned to trust yet?” 41But they were overwhelmed with fear and awe and said to one another, “Who is this man who has such authority that even the wind and waves obey him?”

Samuel Farinato shares a message on prayer as the center of our lives.
MATTHEW 6:5-9
“Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe me, they’ve already received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.
When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like the Gentiles do, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.
Pray like this:
Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn.

Colossians 1:21-22
Even though you were once distant from him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, he reconnected you back to himself. He released his supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of his own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in his presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored

This is a season of growth for the church.
When we move out of a season, we often start to wonder if we’ve missed it, if we’re doing something wrong.
Today doesn’t look like yesterday, so something must be wrong.
It’s easy then to start wondering, was the move of God you felt five years ago even real?
The Bible says that God is eternal, He never changes, He is the same yesterday today and forever.
It doesn’t say church is the same, yesterday today and forever. And it doesn’t even say that His presence is the same. In fact, we see that the kingdom of God is a living thing, it grows, it begins as the smallest of seeds and gradually covers the whole earth.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up. He caught sight of a man standing in front of him with his sword drawn. Joshua went up and said to him, “Are you on our side or that of our enemies?”
He said, “Neither!”
What we defend says much about what we value. When we begin to ask the question of what God values and defends, the bar is set in our own lives to live as ones made in the image of our Father.

Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. A true athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last forever. For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless punches, but I train like a champion athlete…
