ASK SEEK KNOCK – Contend for the Coast | Radiant Church
What does it look like to build a life of prayer on the goodness of a Father who really listens, answers, and moves in power? In this message, Pastor Chad unpacks Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 7:7–12—“ask, seek, knock”—and connects it to Radiant’s regional call to “Contend for the Coast.”
Drawing from Micah 4, Isaiah 2, Matthew 6–7, and his own journey through grief and anxiety, Chad calls the Central Coast to contend for a supernatural “uphill river” of hunger for God in one of the most indifferent, never‑churched regions in America.
In this message:
The vision behind Contend for the Coast and why Radiant is rallying regional prayer
Why a real prayer life must be built on God’s goodness as a Father
The progression of prayer: Ask → Seek → Knock
How disappointment, cherished sin, unforgiveness, and unbelief can stall your prayer life
Practical ways to start (or restart) a life of prayer and contend for revival in your city
If you’re weary, disappointed in prayer, or hungry to see God move on the Central Coast (and beyond), this message will call you back to persistent, hope-filled, relational prayer.
Key Scriptures: Micah 4; Isaiah 2; Matthew 6:25–34; Matthew 7:1–12; 1 Timothy 2:1–6; 2 Peter 3:9; Psalm 66:18; Hebrews 3; Mark 9
