Kankakee First Church of the Nazarene

We've spent two thousand years adding to the church — buildings, programs, staff, traditions, strategies. But what if all of that activity has slowly pulled us away from what Jesus actually had in mind? This week, Pastor Jenna Luoto kicks off our new fall series, Becoming the Church, by asking a simple but uncomfortable question: are we a Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered church, or are we just a really well-organized one? Drawing from Acts 1, she challenges us to rediscover the one thing the early church had that made everything else possible — a radical dependence on the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 139 | Pastor Dave Anderson - Most of us want God's presence and blessing but we don't want to expose ourselves to Him fully. In this message, Pastor Dave walks through Psalm 139:23-24, where David prays one of the most courageous prayers in scripture: “Search me, O God, and know my heart.” As we enter 21 Days of Prayer, Pastor Dave challenges us to stop managing our spiritual appearances and invite God into the places we usually protect. The real issue is rarely what we do — it’s what’s driving what we do. God doesn’t reveal to shame us; He reveals to heal us. But we have to choose: comfort or transformation. We cannot be led by God in public if we are resisting God in private.

Many Christians pray regularly but quietly wonder if they're doing it right. In this message, Pastor Jenna addresses that gap directly. Drawing from Ephesians 2:18, she walks us through the most complete picture scripture gives of how prayer works.
