This Sunday in Home Groups, we’ll be looking at the infamous story of David and Bathsheeba from 2 Samuel 11. How is it that God called David a “man after my own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14), when David clearly had a dark side? Maybe there’s hope for us. Jesus’ Mother was, famously, a Virgin. Not true about the rest of Jesus’ ancesters. In the same way that God brought the Holy One into the world out of a long line of broken, flawed, and shady characters, he intends to form Christ in the midst of our own messy lives. Welcome to week two of The Not So Virgin Birth. For information about participating in a Home Group, Contact Us.

Sometimes people say, “Prayer is just talking to God.” In a sense, that’s true. There’s no magic formula or special wording. But if what you really mean is, “I don’t need to learn anything about prayer,” then that’s a different story. What would you think of a guy who said, “I have nothing to learn about how to communicate with my wife?” And this is God we’re “just” talking to!
When Jesus’ disciples asked him how to pray, he didn’t say, “Prayer is just talking to God.” He actually taught them how to pray. “This, then, is how you should pray…” (Matthew 6:9). He taught surprising stories about what it takes to move God’s heart. For Jesus, prayer was more than just shooting the breeze with God. Prayer changes us, and God actually responds to our prayers.
Prayer can be a frustrating experience. Is God listening? Will he do something? Why doesn’t he respond? Whether you’re interested in starting a conversation with God for the first time or in taking your next step, it’s time to start praying for a change.

This Fall, Everyday Church is starting an action-oriented series, full of opportunities to learn by doing. Love is much more than an idea or a feeling. “For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power” (1 Corinthians 4:20, NLT). In short, love is something you do.
Specifics to come, but in the meantime view the schedule at our Gatherings page.

We just added a new tab to the menu called, “Gatherings.” Check it out to see the current schedule for our Home Group and Teaching gatherings. Granted, we’re already halfway through our discussion & teaching series, “While Jesus Was Away,” and are only just now posting it. But cut us some slack– we’re a brand new church! We’re excited just to have a plan. And there’s no reason not to join in midway, as our gatherings are always visitor-friendly.
We promise to get the Fall schedule up, well… sometime before Fall.

Everyday Church exists because individuals and churches all over the world are praying for us, supporting us, and rooting for us. Thank you for making Everyday Church possible!
This video also gives a glimpse of one of our Home Groups, where we recorded it.
