    Love Thy Neighbor

    Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson

    Topic: Community, Discipleship, love

    Book: Acts, James, Matthew

    Loving our neighbors means more than programs—it’s building real relationships.

    Lord Teach Us to Pray: Supplication!

    Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson

    Topic: Faith, Humility, Prayer

    Book: James, Matthew, Philippians

    Prayer is not a magic formula or demand; it’s a humble, earnest request made to God, acknowledging His power and will.

    True thanksgiving in prayer shifts our hearts from worry to worship. As we remember God’s faithfulness, peace grows, and our gratitude deepens.

    Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson

    Topic: Confession, Forgiveness, Repentance

    Book: 1 John, James, Psalms

    True confession begins when we stop hiding from God. Psalm 32 reminds us that silence in sin drains our strength, but confession brings freedom and forgiveness. God doesn’t just remove consequences—He lifts guilt. When we honestly confess, He restores joy, renews our spirit, and draws us back into His presence.

    Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson

    Book: Luke, Psalms, Revelation

    Adoration is the purest form of prayer—focusing not on our needs but on who God is. It is bowing our hearts in reverent awe, declaring His holiness, power, and love. From Job’s sorrow to Mary’s song, true worship rises from every season, exalting God simply because He is worthy.

    Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson
