In Luke 11, Luke puts a great emphasis on prayer before something happens. Jesus doesn’t just give the disciples words to say, he shows them his heart for communion with the Father. Prayer is talking with God, seeking communion and partnership. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Jon Lorenzo continues our Practice series and gives us three points on how to shift our understanding of prayer so that our lives revolve around communion with God.

We live in a culture that worships pleasure, but the truth is that we can be surrounded by excess but left empty. When we fast, we choose to abstain from food in order to feast on the Lord. In the first Sunday of our Practice series, Pastor Jon Laurenzo shares why we fast and how this discipline can transform your life.

What is God’s wisdom and how do we find it? Awe se close out our Epiphany God’s wisdom is revealed in Jesus, and it’s not like the wisdom of the world. Counterintuitive and transformative, God’s wisdom is freely given to us in the mind of Christ. Through the cross, Jesus has redeemed your life for eternity. Trust his wisdom today to work through whatever circumstance you’re facing.

Jesus is our merciful savior, the God whose mercy is like a the sunrise—warming our hearts, bringing life and light to our lives. This Sunday, Ps Josh Kelsey preached on the mercy and compassion of God, and how this draws us deeper into His character and love.

Our ALLIN message on Rhythms of Revival challenges us to think beyond our own desires and short-sigted dreams. Revival starts in us but moves around us and to the next generation. Preaching from Acts 5, Ps Jon encouraged us to allow prayer and seeking God to be the engine room of our church so that revival can flow through our city, for the people and the future of NYC.
