Can I really make a difference?
That’s the question we’re asking this week in our Asking for a Friend series — and the answer is YES.
In this message, Pastor Shannon shares the heart behind what it means to be the church — not just attend it. Drawing from Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man outside the temple gates, we’re reminded that miracles, transformation, and real faith often happen outside the walls — on “the porch.”
At The Porch Community Church, we believe life change happens where Jesus meets real life — in the grocery store, at the ball field, in your workplace, and around your neighborhood. You were made to make a difference.
📖 Scripture References:
Acts 3:1–11
Acts 4:13
Ephesians 2:10
1 Peter 4:10
Galatians 6:9–10
💬 Key Takeaway:
You don’t need to be extraordinary — just available. God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Is it even worth praying for healing? - Asking For A Friend Week 13
We’ve all asked it — Is it even worth praying for healing?
Especially when the miracle doesn’t come… when the diagnosis doesn’t change… or when the grief still lingers.
In this week’s message, Pastor Shannon Patterson shares biblical truth and real hope about how God heals — in three ways:
• Through Salvation, when He restores our souls
• Through Ultimate Healing, when all things are made new in eternity
• Through Temporary Healing, when He brings breakthrough here and now
Two out of three are guaranteed — and that changes everything about how we pray, hope, and trust God in our brokenness.
💬 “It’s worth praying for healing — not because we get everything we ask for, but because we trust the One we’re asking.”
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24, Revelation 21:4, Mark 2:10–11, 2 Corinthians 12:9–10
