Thrive Church Podcast

When we come to God in prayer, we should come to Him in expectation.  Maybe it is a desire you have based on how things have been going, better yet, maybe it’s one that God put in you; either way, it is good to seek after, pray for, and anticipate God’s Will when we come to Him in prayer.  Pastor Brian shares a great message about how the early church did this.  “Somethin’s bout ta happen!”

On the same day as Easter, two of Jesus’ followers were on the road.  Jesus appeared to them after the resurrection, but He kept who He was from them.  They asked themselves, “didn’t our hearts burn with passion when He spoke the scripture to us?”  When was the last time our hearts were on fire for God?  Pastor Brian gives a message about our hearts being on fire for Christ.
