Do you often wonder about your life's purpose? Do you feel like you just aren't big enough or important enough to make a difference?

Have you ever wondered how Jesus' ministry was so powerful and successful? The greatest moments of Jesus' ministry in Luke begin with one common theme: prayer. In this week's message, Blake Thompson shares about one of the most important questions the disciples ever asked: How do we pray like you?
This week, we begin a new series, Chef's Special. We will be looking at some of the most frequent themes that appear throughout the book of Luke.

Do you ever find yourself so caught up in the things on your to-do list that you ignore the things that really matter? In this week's message from Luke, Jesus reveals the one thing that should be at the top of everyone's list every single day.
What prompts people to go all in for Jesus? What does going all in even look like? In tonight's message from Luke, a desperate woman offers Jesus an expression of gratitude that is awkward at best, but scandalous at worst.
