Pastor Jess continues our Relationships series this Mother’s Day with a heartfelt and inspiring message. We’re looking back to the Old Testament, where Hannah, the mother of Samuel, prayed “The Hardest Prayer a Mama Prays.” Struggling with barrenness, Hannah asked God for a child, and prayed from a place of security in her faith, with affection, and towards surrender. God granted her request, and her son Samuel became a prophet and judge over Israel. Join us in learning how we can grow in our walk with Jesus, and help our children by leading them towards the Lord.

Do you think you know your heart? 'The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives.' That's Jeremiah 17:9-10 revealing our reality! Exploring the heart's role in our lives and relationships, we confront the dilemma of whether we lead our hearts or they lead us. In this second week of our Relationships series, we learn to check, surrender, hide, and guard our hearts, ultimately committing them wholly to God's guidance and truth.
