Wednesday Night Prayer
Every Wednesday
Join us for a weekly time of prayer at The 2101. When we meet God, we want him to say “Essential is a PRAYING church. This prayer time will not be focused on anything in particular, it will just be a meaningful time of prayer for whatever is on your heart.
You Belong Here
We don’t care what you wear, how many piercings or tattoos you have, what candidate you voted for or even if you know anything about the Bible. We are a church filled with people just like you with every kind of story imaginable.
It’s dark, it’s loud, and it smells a lot like coffee. We love Jesus.
We love the Bible, and we love our church.
We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.
We love what we get to do here.
We think you’ll love it too.

Last week’s Teaching: God’s Grace for What He Doesn’t Remove
Mother’s Day can be beautiful. It can also be exhausting, complicated, lonely, or painful. This week at Essential Church, we’re talking about what happens when you’ve prayed, tried your best, and still feel weak.
In 2 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul begged God to remove his struggle, but instead heard these words: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
What if the moments where you feel like you’re failing are actually the moments where God wants to show His strength the most? What if your weakness is not proof that God abandoned you, but proof that He’s closer than you think?
This message is for moms, dads, exhausted people, hurting people, and anyone who feels like they can’t carry the weight anymore. We’ll talk about unanswered prayer, God’s grace, parenting, weakness, redemption, and how Jesus meets us right in the middle of our limitations.
If you’ve ever thought, “God, I can’t do this anymore,” this message is for you.
