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:
Living in Victory: The Power of Meditation
Living in Victory: The Power of Meditation
Devins Jackson
Drawing from Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 1:1-3, Devins reminded us that true victory begins with filling our minds and hearts with God's Word. Biblical meditation is not about emptying our minds, but about intentionally focusing on Scripture—pondering it deeply, speaking it over our lives, and allowing it to take root within us.
What we continually think about grows in influence, and what fills our minds will eventually come out of our mouths. Through the power of repetition and daily reflection, God's Word transforms us, shapes our thoughts, and guides our steps. When life's pressures come, Scripture—not fear or doubt—will flow from our hearts.
Victory is found when God's truth becomes louder than the enemy's lies. As we keep His Word before us, confess our sins, and walk in obedience, we learn to speak life, trust His faithfulness, and live out His promises every day.
