Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: October 18, 2026 "I'm exhausted. I need some rest." Most of us have uttered these words at some point, perhaps even this morning as you awoke to begin another busy day.

We often associate this need as primarily being me...

Pastor: Warren Harvey Date: September 6, 2026 This week in our sermon series on Habits of a Healthy Soul, we turn from the habit of listening to God in his word, to the habit of speaking with God in prayer.
