August 12, 2026 Service. Join us for worship with Faith Worship Arts, followed by Week Six of Summer of Prayer with Pastor John Dreher.

In this message, we look at Stephen’s response to extreme pressure—a response marked by prayer, surrender, faith, and grace. Stephen didn’t manufacture these responses in the moment; they were the result of a life shaped by spiritual discipline. Through the disciplines of dependence, surrender, and reflecting Christ, we are challenged to allow the Holy Spirit to overwrite our natural defaults. When life squeezes us, we will respond from whatever has been conditioning us. The purpose of the Summer of Prayer has been to develop that spiritual muscle memory so that prayer becomes our first response, surrender replaces control, and grace replaces retaliation. This message invites us to let God transform our automatic reactions so that, under pressure, our lives reflect Jesus.
