    Teach Us To Pray - Week Three | Jason Daughdrill

    Unto Him be all the glory. Thank you for joining us! Want to learn more about us? Check out our website here: gtwychurch.com We would love to get to know you!

Follow this link: https://www.gtwychurch.com/giving What do you do when you don’t know what to pray? There are moments when the situation is too complicated, the burden is too heavy, and our own words simply aren’t enough. But God didn’t leave us standing at the throne speechless. He gave us His Spirit. In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about praying in the Spirit—why it matters, how it works, and what happens when we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us beyond what our own understanding can express. We look at: • How Jesus opened the way to the throne through His blood • Why prayer was always meant to be Spirit-empowered • The different kinds of tongues described in Scripture • What Romans 8 teaches about the Spirit interceding for us • How praying in the Spirit builds and strengthens us • Why the Spirit helps us pray according to the will of God • What it means to receive the gift by faith • The hindrances that keep us from yielding to the Spirit • And how praying in the Spirit can become part of our everyday life When your language runs out, the Spirit doesn’t. The Son is interceding above you. The Spirit is interceding within you. And you have been invited to come boldly. Prayer isn’t limited to what you understand. There is a language for the throne.

    Teach Us To Pray - Week Two | Jason Daughdrill

    What do you actually believe about God when you pray? Not what you know how to say. Not what you would answer in a Bible study. What do you believe about Him in the moment you bow your head? Hebrews 11:6 gives us a picture of prayer built on faith: we come to God because we believe He is who He says He is—and we keep coming because we believe He rewards those who diligently seek Him. In this message, we discover: • Prayer is an invitation to come boldly into God’s presence • Our access to God was purchased by the blood of Jesus • What we believe about God’s character shapes the way we pray • Faith gives us the confidence to keep coming when we can’t see the answer • God is approachable, merciful, faithful, a healer, and still able to set people free • Diligent prayer isn’t about earning an answer—it’s the natural response of faith • And sometimes the greatest thing that keeps us praying isn’t knowing what God will do, but knowing who He is The door is open. The blood has been applied. The High Priest is interceding. And the invitation is still the same: Come boldly. Faith brings you to God, faith reminds you who He is when you get there, and faith keeps you there until the answer comes.

    Sacrifice of Praise | Noah Hinshaw

    What if worship had nothing to do with how we feel? It’s easy to praise God when the prayer is answered, the breakthrough comes, and everything is going our way. But what happens when the prison door doesn’t open? When the diagnosis doesn’t change? When the breakthrough takes longer than we expected? That’s where worship becomes a sacrifice. In this message, we look at what worship truly means—not simply singing a song on Sunday, but living with a heart surrendered to God. We explore: • Why passion fades when it isn’t maintained • Why worship must be rooted in who God is, not what He does • How Paul and Silas worshiped in the middle of a prison • The danger of allowing tradition or feelings to determine our worship • What it means to surrender control and offer our lives back to God • How our worship can shift the atmosphere around us • And how to reignite a fire for Jesus when our passion has grown cold Biblical worship doesn’t say, “God, I worship You because You gave me everything I wanted.” It says, “God, I worship You because You are still God.” Not because everything is good. Because He is good. The question isn’t simply, “Can I worship God when life is going well?” The question is: Is He still worthy when it isn’t? Jesus gave everything for us. He is worthy of everything from us. Let your life become a continual song of praise.

    Teach Us To Pray - Week One | Jason Daughdrill

    What if the Lord’s Prayer was never meant to be just something we say? What if Jesus was teaching us how to live? In this message, we unpack the Lord’s Prayer and discover that Jesus didn't simply give His disciples words to repeat—He gave them a pattern for living in continual relationship with God. From “Our Father” to “deliver us from evil,” every line teaches us something about who God is, who we are, and how we're meant to live. Using passages from Luke 11, Matthew 6, Romans 8, Hebrews 4, Ephesians 6, and more, we explore: • Why prayer begins with relationship, not technique • What it means to hallow God's name—and to carry His name well • How prayer reorders our desires around God's kingdom • Why surrendering to God's will is at the heart of prayer • What “daily bread” teaches us about dependence on God • Why confession and forgiveness keep our hearts clean • How prayer prepares us for temptation and spiritual battle • Why prayerlessness is more serious than simply missing a devotional • How Jesus Himself modeled a life of continual communion with the Father This message isn't just about learning how to say a prayer. It's about learning how to live. Prayer moves us: from self-sufficiency to dependence, from self-centeredness to God's kingdom, from anxiety to trust, from hiddenness to confession, from bitterness to forgiveness, and from vulnerability to the strength of God. Jesus didn't just teach prayer. Jesus lived prayer. And if the Son of God would not live disconnected from the Father, neither can we. So the prayer of the disciples becomes our prayer too: “Lord, teach us to pray.” The Lord's Prayer gives us the pattern. The life of Jesus gives us the priority.

    Second Fire | Jason Daughdrill

    Some of your deepest failures have a place attached to them. A room. A conversation. A smell. A person. A moment you wish you could go back and change. For Peter, it was a fire. In this message, we follow Peter through one of the darkest moments of his life. The disciple who promised he would never deny Jesus finds himself warming his hands beside a fire—only to deny his Savior three times. But Peter's story doesn't end there. After the resurrection, Jesus meets him beside another fire. Using John 18, Luke 22, Mark 16, and John 21, we explore: • Why loud devotion isn't always deep devotion • How proximity to Jesus doesn't always mean faithfulness to Jesus • The danger of finding comfort in the wrong places • Why Jesus isn't caught off guard by our failures • How God sees restoration even when we can only see regret • Why Jesus called Peter by name when Peter had counted himself out • The powerful connection between Peter's first fire and his second • How Jesus restored Peter after three denials with three questions • Why restoration doesn't just remove shame—it reclaims purpose This message isn't just about Peter's failure. It's about what Jesus does with ours. The first fire was a place of compromise. A place of denial. A place of failure. But the second fire was different. Jesus met Peter in the place his memories would have taken him back to—and gave him a new ending. Your failure didn't catch Jesus off guard. He knew Peter would fall. And He already knew Peter would return. God doesn't just see the failure. He sees the restoration. The repentance. And the purpose still ahead. “Jesus knew he would fail—but He also knew he would return.”

    Holy Fire | Jason Daughdrill

    Everybody wants the fire. But fire falls on the altar. In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about the fire of God—from the altar, to sacrifice, to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We discover that while we can't manufacture God's presence, we are responsible for stewarding what He has given us. Using passages from Luke 12, Leviticus, 1 Kings, Romans, and more, we explore: • Why Jesus endured suffering so His Church could be filled with the Holy Spirit • The biblical connection between the altar, sacrifice, and fire • What your deepest affection, attention, and sacrifice reveal about the altar of your heart • Why yesterday's encounter can't sustain today's faith • How prayer, Scripture, worship, obedience, and forgiveness help tend the flame • The difference between maintained fire and manifest fire • Why we need both private devotion and powerful encounters with God • Why Elijah repaired the altar before the fire fell • How to recognize the difference between holy fire and “strange fire” • Why discernment doesn't extinguish the fire—it protects it • What happens when a genuine encounter with God changes us This message isn't just about having an emotional experience. It's about becoming a living sacrifice. We don't want manufactured fire. We don't want empty religion. We don't want excitement without holiness. We want HOLY FIRE. Maybe the problem isn't that heaven has run out of fire. Maybe earth has run out of altars. Repair the altar. Present the sacrifice. Tend the flame. And ask God to send the fire. “Our God is a consuming fire.” — Hebrews 12:29

    Don't Be That Guy - Week Three | Jason Daughdrill

    You can build an impressive life on the outside while everything inside is falling apart. Rehoboam inherited a kingdom, a throne, wealth, influence, and everything his father and grandfather had spent generations building. But in one conversation, his pride fractured a nation—and Scripture gives us the deeper reason why. He had prepared cities. He had strengthened defenses. But he had never prepared his heart to seek the Lord. In this message, we explore the story of Rehoboam and discover: • Why you need people in your life who are willing to tell you the truth • The difference between seeking counsel and seeking confirmation • How insecurity can turn disagreement into disrespect • Why one foolish decision can create consequences that last for generations • How our choices can become patterns the next generation inherits • Why spiritual drift happens when we stop intentionally steering our hearts • The danger of building your career, relationships, reputation, body, or ministry while neglecting your soul • Why preparation happens before the pressure arrives • How Jesus succeeds where Rehoboam failed This message isn't just about a bad king. It's about the temptation to build everything around us while neglecting what's happening within us. You can have a strong body and a weak soul. A growing business and a shrinking marriage. An impressive house and no peace inside it. Financial success and spiritual poverty. Never confuse the strength of what you're building with the health of the person building it. The good news is that your story doesn't have to repeat the past. Jesus doesn't just tell us to try harder. He gives us a new heart. “Your worst decision does not have to become your family's permanent direction.” “Build something within you strong enough to carry what God puts around you.”

    Don't Be That Guy - Week Two | Jason Daughdrill

    Nobody plans to walk away from God. Most people don’t blow up their faith. They drift. In this message, we look at the story of Demas—a man who started strong, served alongside Paul, and was even called a “fellow laborer.” But over time, something changed. His heart slowly shifted until Paul could say that Demas had forsaken him because he had “loved this present world.” Using passages from 2 Timothy, Philemon, Hebrews, Mark, and Acts, we explore: • Why spiritual drift usually happens slowly, not suddenly • How your feet eventually follow your affections • Why you can be less passionate about God before you ever leave Him • How good things like career, money, comfort, success, and entertainment can become distractions when they take first place • Why cynicism can change the way we see God and His people • How spiritual apathy can make coldness feel normal • Why following Jesus means becoming a servant, not a consumer • How to recognize when your heart is beginning to drift • Why your drift doesn't have to become your destiny This message isn't just about Demas. It's about us. You don't wake up one day as Demas. It's a thousand little moments. A little less prayer. A little less hunger. A little more compromise. A little more of the world. Until eventually, you realize your heart has moved before your feet ever did. But here's the good news: you can come back. Mark walked away too—but he came back. His bad chapter didn't become his final chapter. So ask yourself: What do I love? What gets my time? What gets my energy? What gets my attention? What has following Jesus cost me lately? Because you become what you love. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
