Reflecting God's Generosity
Feb 800:46:58Tap to summarizeIn this message, Pastor Bobby Harrell invites us to see generosity not as obligation, but as overflow.As we step into The Oasis Initiative, we’re reminded that generosity lifts our eyes beyond ourselves. From David giving toward a future he would never see, to Nehemiah rebuilding what had been neglected, Scripture shows us that faithful sacrifice fuels the work of God and shapes stories that outlive us.Ultimately, our generosity reflects the heart of a generous God. He gives freely. He gives faithfully. And when we live with open hands, we mirror His character to the world around us.As a church family, we’re praying boldly and believing God for all He wants to do in and through Rise City in this next season.

It’s about showing up as we are—distractions, doubts, and all—and meeting a God who already knows us and still wants to be close.As our church continues into a new season together, this message invites us to release the pressure, stop performing, and rediscover prayer as a place of real connection with God—right where we are.

Hungry For More
Jan 400:31:46Tap to summarizeIn this message, Pastor Bobby unpacks the biblical discipline of fasting—not as a religious obligation, but as a relational practice that deepens humility, dependence, and attentiveness to God.Rooted in Jesus’ words and echoed throughout Scripture, this teaching reframes fasting as a response to longing for Christ and His Kingdom. We’re reminded that we do not live by bread alone—and that true fasting doesn’t stop with us, but overflows into generosity, mercy, and love for others.As we begin a new year together, this message invites our church into a renewed rhythm of prayer and fasting, trusting God to do something meaningful in and through us.
