12/29 Sunday Morning Worship Service - Youth Sunday

In this message from Psalm 116, guest speaker Zach Watson reminds us about the life-changing power of prayer. He began by sharing a personal testimony about God’s unwavering grace and how prayer connects believers to that grace. Using the story of a young boy named Heath, Zach illustrated how the faithful prayers of a classmate and a simple church invitation led Heath from a dark life of addiction and spiritual brokenness to a transforming relationship with Jesus. Zach emphasized that God listens attentively to our cries, whether they are loud pleas or quiet whispers in moments of despair, and that He responds with grace and deliverance.

Zach challenged us to make prayer a priority in the coming year, calling it an ongoing journey from one answered prayer to the next. He reminded everyone that God doesn’t just hear our prayers—He acts on them. As believers, we should trust God with both our eternal salvation and daily struggles, approaching Him with confidence in His mercy and provision. The message ended with a powerful invitation to bring burdens to the Lord, trust in His faithfulness, and pray with renewed faith. Zach’s closing words resonated clearly: God still answers prayers—the only unanswered prayer is the one we never pray.
