Letters of Life Pt. 2What if fasting isn’t about food—but about freedom? Isaiah 58 reveals the kind of fasting God responds to: one that realigns our hearts with His and changes how we treat others.

Letters of Life Pt. 1In a world that constantly pulls our hearts in a thousand directions, it’s easy to drift out of alignment with God without even realizing it. In this message, we talk about how prayer and fasting create the space for God to realign what’s been bent, worn down, or quietly drifting. If you’re hungry for a new year marked by clarity, obedience, and deeper trust, this is a powerful place to start. Pastor Isaac begins our new series “Letters of Life” on our first day of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.

Letters From Your Father - Pt. 7Paul likens our earthly life to living in tents. Tents are meant to be used for a temporary time. Buildings, however, are meant for a permanent residence.
