In this message, Pastor Rick Warren talks about when to pray for healing, how to pray for healing, and who can pray for healing.

Leadership is a big topic these days — how do you get to the top? How do you become successful? How do you become the greatest? According to Jesus, the secret to greatness is serving. In Matthew 23, he said, “The greatest among you will be your servant.” The greatest businesses serve their customers. The greatest bosses serve their employees.

Being a servant may sound like being weak or a pushover, but through this message you’ll find that serving will transform your life in great ways.

Trusting God Through Trouble Nov 11, 2018

Show notes

Trusting God is easy when life is going well. But trusting God when you’re in trouble is an entirely different thing — especially when you don’t feel like you’ve done anything to deserve it. It’s in those times when our trust in God is put to the test. In this message, Pastor Buddy Owens teaches us how to cultivate a life of faith, even when going through times of adversity. When you’re going through a storm, God is not standing on the other side, waiting for you to figure things out on your own. He is walking through the storm with you. Your trouble is not the end of the story ... it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

You Need Others For Spiritual Support Oct 21, 2018

Show notes

In today’s world, dependency is often considered a weakness. We’re taught that we don’t need anyone to figure things out on our own. But God did not create you to be alone — he created you to depend on a spiritual family for support. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren talks about how community is God’s answer to loneliness, fatigue, defeat, and despair. Having a church family is important because we need others to walk with us, work with us, watch out for us, wait and weep with us, and witness with us.
