Come Pray With Me
Come Pray With Me. Prayer is solo. And prayer is also powerful with others. At Kingdom City Church we’re building more than weekend attendance. We’re building a praying church. A family of faith. People who know how to go to God Monday through Saturday, not just show up Sunday.
Don’t Miss This Moment
I grew up an LA Kings fan, even though I never played hockey. In my room I had this poster on my wall with a Wayne Gretzky quote (or was it Michael Scott?). Either way, it stuck. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” That’s not just a sports quote. That’s a life quote.
Whole Hearted Week: Primary Pursuit
There’s a difference between hanging on and leaning in. There’s a difference between “I’m almost done” and “I’m going after God. The primary pursuit is this: to know Him more.
Whole Hearted Week: One More Step
The longer I live with Jesus, the more I realize how breakthrough works. Not with one cinematic moment. Not with one perfect prayer. Not with one lightning bolt word from heaven. Most of the time, God speaks like this: next step. We want clarity for the whole journey. God often gives clarity for the next step.
Whole Hearted Week: The Static in the Signal
Six things that can keep you from hearing God and how to clear the line
I don’t think God is silent nearly as often as we think He is. I think there’s static in the signal.
Jesus said, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27) That’s normal life with God. So if you’ve been feeling like, “Man, I can’t hear Him,” this isn’t for shame. This is for clarity. We don’t want our faith to be foggy, drowned out by the drama and noise of the world around us. We do alignment. We do obedience. We get in tune with God, and we go Kingdom Forward.
You’re as Close to God as You Want to Be
What if I told you the breakthrough you’ve been praying for is closer than you think? Not because everything in your life suddenly gets easy, but because you decide to come a little closer to God. And not out of pressure, not out of guilt, not out of “I should,” but out of hunger.
Halfway Finished. Fully Committed.
Nehemiah gives us one of the most honest pictures of spiritual progress in the entire Bible. “So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.” — Nehemiah 4:6
Halfway. Not finished. Not perfect. Not where they started anymore, but not where God promised either. But better than before is still not God’s best.
Thanks be to God!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones! As your pastors, we love you deeply, and we count it an honor and joy to lead this beautiful home God has built here at Kingdom City. Our prayer is that no matter where you find yourself, may your Thanksgiving be filled with His peace, His presence, and moments that remind you of His goodness.
Make a Difference
Liz and I are so grateful for each and every person who calls this church their home, and we are especially grateful for our serve team. The ones who show up and give freely of their time so other people can experience a miracle. For today’s challenge, if you are currently part of our church and not on a serve team, I would love to encourage you to sign up to serve. To go from consuming to contributing in God’s house. As we prepare for the Christmas season, it’s a great time to get involved in what God is building.
SEE THE RUINS. START THE REVIVAL.
When Nehemiah heard that “the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and its gates burned with fire,” something inside him broke too. He didn’t ignore it or scroll past it. He stopped and let it hit his heart. That moment didn’t crush him; it called him. Purpose was born when he cared enough to notice.
The Miracle of Everyday Movement
Everybody wants a miracle moment, but the truth is: miracles are one obedient moment at a time.
Building Your Secret Place: Journaling and Fasting for Spiritual Growth
Today, we wrap up our journey through the secret place. This has been about more than just quiet time. It's about building a space in your life where you meet with God, hear from Him, and grow in your relationship with Him. To close it out, we’re diving into two powerful and often overlooked tools: journaling and fasting.
They may not sound flashy, but they’re game changers for your spiritual life.
Discerning the Voice of God: Learning to Hear with Confidence
One of the most important skills in your walk with Jesus is learning how to recognize His voice. God is always speaking. The question is, are we tuned in? Are we quiet enough, close enough, and consistent enough to hear Him?
I want to help you grow in confidence as you learn to discern when God is speaking and how to respond with faith.
The Power of Prayer: How to Grow Closer to God Through Real Conversation
Prayer isn’t just something we do before meals or when life gets heavy. It’s a way of life. It's how we stay connected to the heart of God. And it’s not about using the right words. It’s about showing up, being honest, and trusting that God is listening.
SOAP Method: A Simple Way to Go Deeper in the Word
Your secret place with God isn’t just about showing up. It’s about learning to hear from Him through His Word. One of the best ways to do that is by using the SOAP method. It’s simple, personal, and powerful.
If you’ve ever opened your Bible and thought, “Where do I start?” this is for you.
Finding the Secret Place: Making Room for God and His Word
Life moves fast. Most of us are juggling more than we ever expected, and in the middle of the rush, our connection with God can start to feel distant. But it doesn’t have to. Jesus invites us into something deeper, something quieter, something personal, what He calls the secret place.
And that place always includes time with the Word.
Creating Your Secret Place: A Journey of Desire and Decision
At Kingdom City, we believe the most important part of your life is the part no one else sees; your secret place with God. It’s not just a quiet corner or a good habit. It’s where real faith is formed.
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting - Day 18
Have you ever felt like your prayers are stuck in a waiting room, with no sign of movement? You're praying, you're seeking, but God seems silent. If that's where you find yourself, you’re not alone. There are moments in all of our faith journeys when the silence feels deafening. But often, the waiting room isn’t just a pause—it’s a place of preparation. Let’s explore three reasons why your prayers might feel stuck and how to clear the path.
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting - Day 11
Hey church! It’s Day 11 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts from last night that I taught at our prayer night. Sometimes life feels so full that we barely pause to pray. But let’s take a moment to reflect on the power of stepping into the secret place—a space where our hearts meet God’s.
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting - Day 4
Jesus’ Keys to Prayer and Fasting
Digging into Matthew chapter 6, we learn from Jesus how to walk out the powerful practices of prayer and fasting. If you read the passages you’ll notice it’s not if you pray and fast, but when. Jesus makes it clear these aren’t optional; they’re meant to be part of the lifestyle for every believer.
