We Are Kettering: Where Jesus Changes Lives | Andrea Jakobsons

Why are so many churches declining — and what actually brings spiritual revival and real transformation?

In this powerful sermon, you’ll discover why prayer is the missing key to church health, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. Drawing from Scripture, the New Testament church, and real research on dying churches, this message reveals how comfort, tradition, and shallow faith slowly weaken spiritual life — and how wholehearted prayer restores it.

You’ll learn:
• Why most churches struggle spiritually
• How Jesus truly changes lives
• What the early church did differently
• Why prayer fuels revival and faith
• How spiritual transformation actually happens
• The danger of comfort over mission
• How to build a healthy, thriving church

If you’re seeking deeper faith, stronger prayer life, spiritual renewal, and authentic Christian living, this message will challenge and inspire you to pursue Jesus wholeheartedly.
