Prayer brings transformation in us and situations.

Prayer isn’t just talking into the air—it’s praise, thanksgiving, and confession.

God calls us to let go of yesterday’s chains, embrace today’s shift, and step forward in faith into the new thing He is doing.

This devotion emphasizes that faith is not a sprint but a race of endurance, urging students to finish strong, reflect on the legacy they are leaving, and keep "driving" forward as they enter a new season with the SHIFT to Wednesday nights.

Just like a car’s check engine light warns of hidden problems, God gives us spiritual indicators to examine our hearts, and if we ignore them, the damage grows—so we must daily invite Him to search us, reveal what’s wrong, and do the work only He can do to make us whole.

This sermon uses the metaphor of a long bridge and the need to check your fuel to emphasize the importance of staying spiritually filled with the Holy Spirit daily—through prayer, worship, and God's Word—so that we don’t run on empty and can navigate life’s challenges with strength, direction, and purpose.

This sermon challenges students to develop a deep, daily, and active faith in Jesus—like strong tire tread—so they can stay spiritually grounded, withstand life’s pressures, and leave a lasting impact for Christ.

This sermon reminds students that pressure is a part of life, but through prayer we can release that pressure, and in return, God gives us peace that guards our hearts and minds.

This week’s message challenged students to examine their spiritual alignment with God by recognizing how small compromises can slowly lead them off course, and encouraged them to trust God’s direction, rely on His Word, and invite accountability to stay on the right path.

When life gets slippery and out of control, having a firm grip on God’s Word gives us the spiritual traction we need to stand strong, move forward, and not spin out—no matter what challenges come our way.

This sermon kicks off the summer contest by using a racing theme to encourage students to embrace the journey God has planned for them—one that requires purpose, movement, and focus—reminding them they are not accidents but were created with intention for something great.

Jesus' final words on the cross remind us of His radical forgiveness, ultimate sacrifice, and the finished work of salvation, calling us to commit fully to Him.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of giving, particularly to Speed the Light, by exploring why giving matters, why individuals should participate, and how it enables missionaries to spread the gospel effectively, ultimately demonstrating love for God and others.

Pastor Amanda encouraged the youth to embrace and take ownership of intentional change in their lives and youth group, trusting God’s guidance and recognizing the new things He is doing in 2025.

Giving is essential in the Christian faith, reflecting God's nature, rooted in love, and supporting God's work and purposes.

The message emphasizes the importance of prayer and service as foundational disciplines for spiritual growth, effective influence, and collaboration in school campus ministries.

Pastor Amanda's sermon emphasized the importance of learning from the Book of Acts and becoming campus missionaries, focusing on serving others with the guidance and boldness provided by the Holy Spirit.

We emphasized that God's word is timeless, relevant across all generations, and provides hope and strength.
