So maybe we're looking in the wrong place... TIMESTAMPS 0:00 WELCOME 0:44 WEEKLY TALK

What in the world are we actually talking about when we're talking about prayer? Talk to 100 different people and you’re likely to get 100 different answers. We’ve made it pretty complicated and it was never supposed to be. Just ask Jesus. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 WELCOME 0:44 WEEKLY TALK

Worry and anxiety seem to be a way of life for most people. We’re all chasing peace, trying to catch it to no avail. So maybe we’re looking in the wrong places. Interestingly, Jesus said the best place to look is with the birds.

Typically, we call the famous parable by Jesus “The Prodigal Son,” but that title is actually a bit misleading. The point of the story is not the younger (Prodigal) son’s recklessly extravagant living. Instead, it’s about God’s recklessly extravagant love.

Most people want their lives to count, but it's easy to become impatient with the slow pace at which a life of significance is built. Taking small persistent steps forward is often mundane and boring, but it can lead to tremendous and lasting results. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 WELCOME 0:44 WEEKLY TALK

People ultimately weren’t convinced to follow Jesus because of what he taught. They became convinced because of what they saw. The resurrection of Jesus validated who he claimed to be and what he came to accomplish. It also explains how a small first century sect, in a relatively unknown part of the world, grew to become the largest movement in the history of planet earth! TIMESTAMPS 0:00 WELCOME...

It’s so easy to forget what the Christian faith is all about. We struggle so much, work so hard, and fail so often that we frequently sense something in the equation of life must be missing.
