What if prayer isn't about getting answers--but about receiving God?

In this message from Luke 11:11-13, Jesus reshapes how we think about asking God for what we need. Instead of promising quick fixes or easy solutions. Jesus points us to the greatest gift the Father gives: His own presence through the Holy Spirit.

This sermon concluded the Teach My Heart to Pray" series, exploring how prayer forms us, deepens trust, and invites us into the life Jesus shares with the Father. Rather than treating prayer as a transaction, we're invited to see it as a relationship--one where God's goodness fills us so it can flow through us into the world.

Whether you're new to prayer, weary from unanswered questions, or simply longing for deeper trust in God, this message offers a gentle, hope-filled invitation to pray differently.

If God already knows what we need, why does Jesus tell us to keep asking?

In this message, Pastor Jason Barnett explores one of Jesus' most misunderstood teachings on prayer. Using the image of a midnight knock and an inconvenient request, Jesus reframes prayer--not as a way to wear God down, but as an invitation to trust God's heart.

Many of us have stopped praying certain prayers. Not because we stopped believing, but because waiting became painful and silence felt personal. You will hear how Jesus invites us back--not with better words or stronger effort, but with honest, shameless trust rooted in relationship.

If prayer has felt risky, exhausting, or confusing, this message is for you.

Persistent prayer is not about changing God's mind--it is about trusting His heart.

Have you ever wondered why prayer sometimes feels routine, awkward, or empty--even when you're trying your best?

In this message, we begin a new series called "Teach My Heart to Pray." We look at the moment when the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally said, "Lord, teach us to pray." Instead of giving them a script, Jesus began shaping their hearts.

This sermon explores what it means to slow down, listen, and let Jesus teach us how to live close to the Father--not by praying harder, but by becoming more teachable.

Whether you've prayed your whole life or you feel like you're still figuring it out, this episode offers hope, honesty, and an invitation to draw closer.
