First of all I want to thank everyone who has prayed for my daughter Eva (thyroid cancer) in previous requests. I am requesting an updated prayer request. My daughter has gone through 30 rounds of radiation, it helped a bit, but with this rare cancer that is usually terminal I am asking for nothing less than a miracle. This cancer goes from lung, to bones to brain and at present the doctors see a mass in the lung. I live alone with my daughter and am the only caregiver she has, it is extremely hard, Next is chemotherapy and hopefully we are not too late for that. I am praying for a miracle that our God and Father would have mercy on Eva and completely cleanse her body of this horrible, rare and debilatating cancer. I thank each and every person that prays with me. God bless you.

Spiritual Practices

Our lives run at a relentless 24/7 pace of so much noise, motion, and stress, that it leaves little room to attend to the health of our souls. Yet that is where our greatest source of energy, life, and spiritual vitality come from! Engaging in regular time with God recalibrates us to the life of the Spirit within, transforming us from the inside out. Take some time to explore and experiment with a variety of spiritual practices today – the freshness of new life awaits!

Daily Spiritual Exercise

Each week we create daily spiritual practices to help you connect with God beyond the one-hour-a-week of our Weekend Services. These are designed to disrupt your daily routine and stimulate a posture of openness to God’s presence and activity in your life.

More than just something to add to your already crowded “to do” list, daily practices awaken us to the spiritual reality all around us, helping us live connected 24/7 to the power and presence of Jesus.

No Body but Yours

About 500 years ago, there was a woman by the name of Teresa of Avila, who was a nun and a mystic who left behind several books, poems, prayers, practices that many to this day still find inspiring. One of her well-loved poems is called, “Christ Has No Body”.

Spiritual Pathways Assessment

God doesn’t create people in cookie-cutter fashion. Each of us is unique. As a result, different kinds of experiences make us feel closer to God. Spiritual pathways help us identify the ways we most naturally connect with God. There are a total of seven pathways. Most people gravitate toward one or two of them.
