Horizon Community Church - Philadelphia

In this bonus six part series, Alex shares practical steps on how to talk about Jesus without being weird.

Some people think fasting will bump their prayer up in line and get God’s attention faster. Fasting doesn’t win us God’s favor. He looks at us as being His children in good relationship with Him because of Jesus — not because of our good deeds or sacrifices. Fasting changes US not how He LOOKS at us.

Sometimes, we worry that God will send us something BAD because of what we asked for in haste or we won’t get something GOOD because we didn’t form our request the right way. God responds to every prayer with LOGIC + LOVE. He knows what will be best and what we need. He’s not a cosmic vending machine that we have to worry about spitting out the wrong thing because we hit the wrong button. He’s a l...

Sometimes we use prayer as an excuse to keep from doing something we don't want to do. Prayer should empower our action, not replace it. If someone needs a friend, don't pray for them to have one, be one!

The best spiritual indicator of your spiritual maturity is not your theological knowledge or your devoted service to the church. It’s your prayer life. We’ve been told that prayer is making God do what we want. If we can get the wording right or the combination right, we can have access to the biggest genie in the universe. That’s not the purpose of prayer. Prayer is not us wrestling God into givi...

Miracles - Wait by Horizon Community Church

Guest speaker Sam Spatafore continues our series about Miracles by reminding us that our relationship with God is more important than seeing our miracle!

Sometimes we position ourselves to see miracles, and sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a storm we didn't expect. Jesus shows up in the dark places, in the deep places -- the places we need Him most!

If we want to experience a miracle it will require an investment. Some miracles cost us money, some cost us tears, but Jesus also has abundantly more than we ever give up.

Most people quit before they see a miracle. They faithful stick around until Jesus shows up and shows off.

Guest speaker, Kyle Vatt continues our series on Miracles by talking about how we need to train our eyes to see small miracles so we don't miss big ones!

We kick off our new series by talking about Jesus turning water into wine. Obedience is key to seeing Jesus show up and show off in our lives.

We conclude our series on taking steps of faith by talking about the human tendency to let someone else do it. When we abdicate our step of faith we miss out on experiencing God in a new more meaningful way!

It's easy to take a step a faith and give up when it gets hard. Good preparation helps us take a step of faith and not give up!

Sometimes our step of faith leads us into a fire, but God always uses our step of faith to spiritually grow us, do good for others and to glorify Himself!

Guest speaker Alonzo Johnson shares about Daniel's step of faith.

One of the biggest steps of faith you can take is talking to someone else about Jesus.

A step of faith kills giants. A step of fear keeps the status quo. The world becomes a better place and we become better people when we live lives of faith, by taking steps of faith!

We continue our series on taking steps of faith by talking about how when we encounter a God who is with us and for us it doesn't matter if we have all the best resources or talents. What we lack, God has more than enough.

Pastor Alex Kranjec from The Mill Church continues our series on acts of faith in the Old Testament.

Having a right view of God enables us to respond to a crisis with faith instead of faith, just like Joshua did when he defeated Jericho.

Alex finishes up the Why Am I Here series by talking about the weaknesses God strategically places in our path in order to remind us that our purpose is not about us -- it's about God's glory and other people's good.

God surrounds us with people talking about our purpose, living our purpose, and pushing us toward our purpose!

There has never ever been someone just like you! That's a testament to the God that made you. God has uniquely designed you to accomplish the purposes that He has for you!

Why are you alive? What does God want you to do before you die? Alex explains how God uses the deepest burdens in our heart to heal the brokenness in our world.
