Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.
This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Presentation Further Resources Life Group Notes Key Scriptures: Luke 18 v.1 - 8; Luke 11 v.5 - 10 Other Scripture refs: Luke 2 v.36 - 37; Eph.6 v.18; Hebs.11 v.6; Mark 11v.24; James 5 v.15 - 16; Hebs.6 v.12; Mark 10 v.46 - 52; Hebs.5 v.7; 1 Sam.1 v.9 - 20; Matt.26 v.39, 42 - 44; Mark 14 v.35 - 36, 39 - 41; Luke 22 v.41 - 44 Sunday's teaching on Persevering in Prayer was largely taken from two parables of Jesus recorded in Luke 18 and Luke 11, but many other relevant Scriptures were also referred to. It is suggested you choose from (and modify as appropriate) the questions below to suit your Group and as the Holy Spirit leads you. QUESTIONS: 1. To encourage others, have you had an experience you can share of persevering prayer which was finally answered? - maybe not answered in the way you expected and possibly even better than you'd hope for! 2.Do you get discouraged and lose heart when the answer to your prayer request seems a long time coming? If so, has this affected you in persevering? Does it help you to not give up, recognising that prayer is firstly about maintaining and maturing your relationship with God? As James Montgomery says in his old hymn: "Prayer is the Christian's vital breath". 3. Does the focus of your prayer life need to change from predominantly asking for things, to simply spending time in His presence appreciating Him for who He is and not for what we can get? As Tommy Tenney said: we are prone to seek what we can get from His hands, rather than seeking His face. · What steps can you take to adjust the focus of your prayer life? · What have you found helpful that might help others in your Group? 4. Do you find the thought of making demands of God unashamedly and in an annoyingly persistent way difficult? Why do you think this might be? (e.g. maybe it is seen by some as disrespectful) 5. Have you had a personal (or corporate) experience where a desperate situation has caused you to get more fervent in prayer? What was the result? Some Take Away Thoughts for personal prayerful consideration: (i) Do you personally have unanswered prayer requests you may need to modify or seek God for possible 'hidden' reasons for delay? (ii) With the example of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, grappling in his humanity, with a prayer which could not be answered, do you (as Jesus ultimately did) need to pray a prayer of surrender to the Father's will in any particular matter?
