Prayer is one of the most important disciplines we can master as a Christian, but sometimes the best prayers are not long and drawn out, but short “arrow” prayers that are ten seconds or less.

Message: “What Would Paul Preach About?” from Brady Cook
I’ve always loved imagining what famous historical figures would look like if they lived in different time periods. With that in mind, what do you think Paul the Apostle would preach about if he were given a pulpit today? Turns out, probably the same thing he preached in Acts 24.

Message: “Be Still, and Know that I am God” from Brady Cook
2020 has been stressful, to say the least, but when you throw in the noise most of us fight through on a daily basis, it’s made the last several months almost unbearable. Sometimes, what our soul needs the most is just to be still and remember who God really is.

Message: “Do I See the Treasure?” from Brady Cook
As messengers of God’s Message, we have a “treasure in earthen vessels,” as Paul put it in 2 Corinthians 3-4. But why do some not see it, and more pertinently, why do we not see it?

Message: “Why Do We Resist Authority?” from Brady Cook

Message: “Will You Wash My Feet?” from Brady Cook
The story of Jesus washing the Apostles’ feet has been told and retold for two thousand years. It stands as a powerful lesson of the degrees of humility we should employ in our own life, but the context leading into it shows how we can create the mindset that enables such action.

Message: “Can You Write a Lesson on Shamgar?” from Brady Cook
Shamgar is the third judge – right after Ehud and right before Deborah – but almost nothing is known about him. Why? Part of the reason is because there’s only two verses total about him in the entire Bible, but it could also be because we fail to appreciate what he did in his own time.

Message: “Blest Be the Tie” from Various Men
The last few months have been difficult, to put it mildly. One of the things that we’ve missed is the fellowship of other Christians, so we took time today to think about the relationship that we have with each other, that is only found in us having a relationship with God.

Message: “Saul and the Witch at En-Dor” from Brady Cook
J.R.R. Tolkien and George Lucas both took locations for their respective universes from the En-Dor of the Bible. Most infamously, however, it was also the site of Saul’s last act of disobedience towards God. What happened here and what can we learn from it?

Message: “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” from Brady Cook
Covid has turned 2020 into something out of a horror movie. Everyone’s wearing masks, people are losing their jobs (and their lives), and our faith is – sometimes – hanging by a thread. What we need to do is lean on the everlasting arms of Jesus. Here’s how.
