Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0300

Atoning for your sins is an area of your life where you don’t want to take shortcuts. After all, in God’s eyes, you are either guilty of sin or you’re not. There are no half-measures. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you about Cain and Abel, and about how Abel’s offering recognized God’s requirement of blood to atone for sins. However, Cain wanted to take a shortcut by sacrificing the fruit of his fields, but in doing so, he rebelled against God. The Lord doesn’t accept insincere offerings.

03.11.2026 - 04 - The Valley of the Shadow Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0300

The valley of the shadow of death may be the darkest valley that you ever cross in your life. It’s a place where the fear of loss can cause as much damage to your soul as the loss itself. But God doesn’t leave you to face that valley alone! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize that the Lord is your good shepherd, and He is always looking out for you! It’s not hard to find His hand reaching out to guide you. Knowing that His hand is there in the first place is the hardest part of the battle.

We all need a GPS at some point in our lives. Maybe we’re traveling to someplace new and need directions, or our usual route isn’t available because of a road closure. Well, Pastor Jeff is here today to remind us that God wants to be our guide, helping us through life, and leading us into peaceful pastures. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be difficult times to go along with the calm moments, but we can be equally assured that there is no safer place than walking right by His side.

03.09.2026 - 03 - The Valley of Decision Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0300

Did you have an irrational fear of quicksand growing up? Most of us have seen at least one movie where our brave heroes find themselves sinking into a dangerous trap. But the way you sink in quicksand is by standing still. If you walk quickly and don’t freeze, you can avoid the worst danger. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that you must keep moving when you’re in a dark valley. You can trust in the Lord to make a way for you. All that He asks is for you to keep walking, one step after another.

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0300

Allowing offenses and grudges to become implanted in your mind will only lead to more negative thoughts. It becomes a great big feedback loop, as your mind spirals further and further into depression and despair. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God offers you a different way to live! In order to break free from the spiral, you must focus your thoughts on God! His grace gives you the ability to let go of the things that used to offend you, so that you can live in the freedom that Christ offers you.

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

One of the most important jobs of a farmer is to prepare the soil for the seeding of plants. Soil must be tilled, fertilizer must be added, and seeds must be carefully placed in the ground in a way that they can grow and flourish. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you in today’s message that the process of being born again starts with the seed of the Kingdom of God being planted in your heart. That seed doesn’t take root at the same time for everyone, but the fruit it bears is always based on God’s perfect timing!

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Did you know that coffee can taste different when grown at different altitudes? As you go higher in elevation, the air becomes thinner, and the temperatures become cooler, creating a coffee cherry with more acidity and sugar content. Well, Pastor Jeff isn’t trying to tell you that you’re a coffee plant! But what he does teach you today is that when you’re facing a season of pressure, it’s not because God wants you to suffer! Instead, God wants to give you the opportunity to grow stronger in your faith!

03.05.2026 - 02 - Baca – The Valley of Tears Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever thought about how much work went into designing spacecraft and spacesuits? Outer space is in a vacuum, completely devoid of air, and mankind has developed ways to sustain human life in the most hostile of environments. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Holy Spirit acts like a spacesuit to sustain you in the valleys that you face in this life. Without His protection, you wouldn’t even be able to breathe! But with the Spirit’s covering, you can thrive in the wilderness.

03.04.2026 - 02 - Baca – The Valley of Tears. Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever met someone with a one-track mind? Once they’ve settled on a task, they will not stop until they see it to completion. Well, even though this trait can be a sign of stubbornness, it can also be a virtue to be admired! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches about the valley of Baca
(BAH-cuh), and how it represents the sorrow that we will face in this life. But instead of being paralyzed by it, we are to fix our eyes on Jesus and treat sorrow as an obstacle that we have already overcome.

03.03.2026 - 01 - Achor - The Valley of Troubled Hearts Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

There is an ancient Japanese pottery technique called kintsugi, where a potter will take a chipped or shattered piece of ceramic and repair it using precious metals, instead of simple lacquer. The repaired piece doesn’t hide its imperfections, instead they are highlighted in gold, silver, and platinum. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff encourages you by reminding you that God has a plan for you, even when you’re stuck in a dark valley. He can take that broken time in your past, and turn it into a symbol of hope!

03.02.2026 - 01 - Achor - The Valley of Troubled Hearts Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

I’m sure you can think of a time when you’ve felt isolated from God because of your sinful behavior. Despite our best efforts, we as humans are prone to giving in to the desires of our flesh from time to time. But Pastor Jeff is here to remind us today that that separation isn’t permanent. All that God asks of us is to repent of our sin and turn back to Him. Even if we are walking through a difficult valley, God will be faithful to turn that darkness into a wellspring of hope when we return to His loving arms!

03.01.2026 - 12 - Remember Your Creator Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When was the last time you came across a street preacher or someone witnessing in public? Maybe you cringed inside as you walked past them, or tried to hide away from their gaze as you crossed their chosen street corner. But Pastor Jeff wants you to realize that those people understand the urgency of the Great Commission! No one knows the day that Jesus is going to return for His bride, but it is the responsibility of every believer to make sure that as many people as possible are saved before that happens.

02.28.2026 - 12 - Remember Your Creator Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

The book of Ecclesiastes isn’t just a book of lamentation and despair, but it has a narrative of its own! It leads the reader on a journey where Solomon has fallen away from his faith, but rediscovers it along the way. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that life isn’t always a straight line going slightly up over time; there are setbacks and struggles that may require you to reset. But when you look back on how far you’ve come, you realize that God never left your side; He’s always been there for you.

02.27.2026 - 04 - The Fruit of Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Before we came to know Jesus, our default human nature tended to be more selfish. Sure, we might have moments of sympathy and compassion, but our first impulses are usually to serve our own interests first. Well, Pastor Jeff is going to teach us today that when we come to know Jesus, we become filled with the same compassion that He has for us. Now we are able to share the love that Jesus first shared with us. Even the hardest and most stubborn of hearts are softened by His compassion.

02.26.2026 - 04 - The Fruit of Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

In order to make pure gold, a refiner will heat impure gold, or gold ore mined from underground, to extremely high temperatures, and then use a chemical process to make those impurities float to the surface so that they can be scraped away. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that God doesn’t put you through storms and trials to punish you for your sins. Instead, that difficult process is intended to strengthen you and to produce a purer faith. The Lord wants to make you stronger!

02.25.2026 - 03 - The Focus in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When we get into an emergency situation, we know that the first number to call should be 911. The longer we wait, the longer it will be before help arrives. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the same thing happens when we face a storm in this life. God is ready to guide us through the storm, but we need to keep our focus on Him to make it through. The sooner we can fix our eyes on Him, the sooner we can get out of the troubled waters. God is always ready to guide us to safety.

02.24.2026 - 03 - The Focus in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

The Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit is our constant guide and counselor. He is the one who speaks to us in the quiet and still moments of our lives. But today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that He is also there to help us in times of trouble. When we are facing a difficult storm, we are supposed to focus on what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us. If we can drown out the noise and listen to His still, small voice, we will be able to resist fear. We won’t get lost in the turmoil and chaos of the storm.

02.23.2026 - 02 - God’s Promise in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

The most important person at any public pool or beach is the lifeguard. While they will spend 99% of their time doing nothing but watching the waters, they are always vigilant to save someone if they start to sink below the surface of the water. Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize today that God is the ultimate lifeguard for your life! When things get difficult, and you start to look at the waves around you and start to sink, He will be right there to pull you out. He will never let you drown in the storm!

02.22.2026 - 11 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Whenever you lay a trap for an animal in the woods, you need to leave some sort of bait to attract your target, or the trap may never be triggered. And just like a piece of meat is attractive to a wild animal, the pleasures of the world are the bait that the enemy uses to lure humanity into sinful behavior. But Pastor Jeff reminds you to be on your guard, because even though the temptation of sin has a sweet and pleasant aroma, it becomes dangerous and painful if you draw too close to it.

02.21.2026 - 11 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever seen a lightning strike? It can change the whole landscape around you in moments if it causes a fire or an electrical outage. And just like a lightning strike, the circumstances of your life can dramatically shift with no notice. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you shouldn’t wait for the right opportunity to do good deeds in the world; the time is now! Before you go to bed tonight, try and bless one more person, or do one more good deed to spread the love of God on Earth.

02.20.2026 - 02 - God’s Promise in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you built your life on the solid foundation of Christ, or is it built on the shifting sands of the world? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you are inevitably going to face storms in this life. Maybe your career won’t pan out in the way you planned, or you’ll face a difficult illness, or relational strife. Whatever happens, it is better to be firmly rooted in God’s Word, so that you can stay strong in the middle of the toughest situations. Jesus wants you to be able to stand tall in the midst of your storm.

02.19.2026 - 01 - The Purpose in Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When a bridge is being built, a team of engineers will usually perform a stress test to ensure the structure will be able to safely support the loads it is designed for. After that bridge is subjected to an increased load during the test, the engineers can be assured that the bridge is safe to use. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Jesus prepared His disciples in the stormy water, so that they could be ready to minister to a demon-possessed man. That storm was the disciples’ stress test!

02.18.2026 - 01 - The Purpose in Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

A good home inspector can be your best friend. While things may look good to you at first glance, a home inspector is trained to spot problems that may seem small at the moment but can quickly escalate and become massive headaches down the line. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that the storms you face in this life are meant to highlight areas that you may need to work on. You may be facing trials now, but God will give you the wisdom you need to patch up those weak points in your heart.

02.17.2026 - 04 - The Old Man is Dead Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Even the most talented musicians can play a wrong note every once in a while! But few things in life will ever be truly perfect, and that is especially true for us in our struggle with sin. Pastor Jeff teaches us today that we will slip back into sin every once in a while. But the sign of the Holy Spirit working in us is that even when we sin, we don’t give in to a sinful lifestyle. We make a mistake, we pray to God in repentance, and then we continue following along in the path set before us, one step at a time.

02.16.2026 - 04 - The Old Man is Dead Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

There is a battle raging inside you every single day! Two natures are competing for control over your life: the sinful nature that you were born with, and the new nature that you have been given in Jesus. Pastor Jeff will teach you today that to fully embrace your new nature, you must put the old nature to rest. You have been freed of your slavery to sin, but you still need to immerse yourself in God’s Word to break free of the last remaining shackles on your life and begin your new life in Christ.

02.15.2026 - 11 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Whenever God provides for your needs, He doesn’t usually make that provision manifest out of thin air. Instead, He calls people and moves in their hearts to be generous and share the blessings they have received with the one in need. Pastor Jeff wants you to examine the blessings that you yourself have been granted and see where you can give just a little bit more to your fellow man. Is there someone in your life that is in need of a blessing that you are uniquely equipped to provide?

02.14.2026 - 10 - The Ironies of Life Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Who is the greatest athlete you can think of? What about the greatest musician, or the best writer? Well, no one becomes truly great at something without years and years of practice, because they understand that in order to be great, they must perfect their skills. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that being a follower of Jesus is a lot like being a person of great skills; you become better at listening to His voice the more time you spend practicing healthy spiritual habits, and the more time you spend in prayer.

02.13.2026 - 03 - The Enabling Power of the Holy Spirit Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Trying to control the Holy Spirit is like trying to control the flow of whitewater rapids. In the end, you will realize that you cannot control where the waters are going; you just have to let yourself be swept away by the current! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you cannot control the Holy Spirit by your own efforts. But what you can do is allow the Spirit to guide you and direct you, even if what He is telling you to do isn’t what you expected to happen. After all, His direction is always better than your own direction.

02.12.2026 - 03 -The Enabling Power of the Holy Spirit Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Sometimes we can forget that the Holy Spirit isn’t a nameless and faceless force, but that He is a part of the Trinity, equally powerful as the Father and the Son! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the power that Jesus had when He performed miracles on Earth is available to you now, and it is all because of the Holy Spirit living within you. That power has been given to you so that you can continue the ministry that Jesus began two thousand years ago. The task isn’t over until all have heard the Gospel.

02.11.2026 - 02 - Filled With the Spirit Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When you were first filled with the Holy Spirit, a flame was lit within your soul. But that first encounter with the Holy Spirit was just a spark. You need a continuous re-filling of His Presence if that flame is going to last in the long term. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to learn about the importance of being constantly filled with God’s presence, because the filling you received a week ago isn’t going to help you get through today. You need a new outpouring of the Spirit each and every day.

02.10.2026 - 02 - Filled With the Spirit Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

No one ever has to go very far out of their way to find temptation. Much like billboards on the side of the road, there are temptations all around you, trying to distract you from your goal. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will remind you that avoiding temptation in this fallen world is impossible. What you have control over is which voices you allow to speak into your life. If you allow yourself to be filled with the Holy Spirit, He will speak into your heart and help you overcome the enemy’s tricks.

02.09.2026 - 01 - The Key to a Fruitful Life Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Following after Jesus is hard! It’s not just a one-time decision we make, but a series of thousands of tiny decisions we make every day. Pastor Jeff is here today with a message of encouragement. He wants to remind you that even when you slip back into sin, it’s easy to get back on the right path. We as humans can't live up to God’s standard of perfection, but what we are asked to do is just to strive to be more like Jesus every day. The change we are seeking in our lives will come slowly over time.

02.08.2026 - 10 - The Ironies of Life Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Sometimes you find yourself in a hole with no possible escape. When you’re in that deep, dark situation, you need to look to the Lord to free you. That’s exactly what Joseph had to deal with, because even though he did not sin against Potiphar, he ended up locked in prison. But Pastor Jeff teaches you in today’s message that God can change any situation in the blink of an eye. Just when all hope seems lost, you may look up and see the beam of light that symbolizes the end of your trial.

02.07.2026 - 09 - The Mighty Man Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

God’s purposes behind blessing some people and leaving others wanting don’t always make sense. You’ll almost always be left wandering why someone wasn’t blessed enough, or even why they were blessed too much. But Pastor Jeff wants you to understand that God rains blessings on the evil and the righteous alike, because in the end, those blessings will bring glory to His name. He will reward those who serve Him the greatest, but you may have to wait longer to receive your portion.

02.06.2026 - 01 - The Key to a Fruitful Life Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

What would you think if the tomato plants in your garden produced grapes? Or if an apple tree at your local orchard started growing carrots? The fact is that a plant cannot produce fruit that doesn’t match what it is designed to produce in its DNA. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that the fruit that you bear in your life is indicative of the state of your soul. The Fruit of the Spirit is an outward sign of the new life that the Holy Spirit has created in the depths of your heart.

02.05.2026 - 06 - The Wheat and the Tares Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

It’s important to be vigilant about the kind of people you allow into your life. What kind of fruit does their life produce? Are they really living for the Lord, or are they claiming to live for Him while doing the exact opposite? Pastor Jeff warns you today that one of the easiest ways to allow the enemy access to your life is to allow lukewarm Christians into your life. When you let your guard down, Satan gets the opportunity to work his way into your life and sow lies and false teachings in your heart.

02.04.2026 - 06 - The Wheat and the Tares Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If you ever feel useless, one of the best things you can do is recognize that God has placed you in your current situation for a reason. He doesn’t make mistakes, and His plans for your life are going to look a lot different than the plans you may have for yourself. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the world will try to make you feel unimportant and insignificant. But if you quiet your mind and listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice, you will become aware of the peace you feel in the center of God’s will.

02.03.2026 - 05 - The Good Ground Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Ironically enough, patience is a virtue that you build up over time. Especially in today’s society, it’s too easy to get anything you want exactly when you want it. If you look hard enough, that next thing you want or need is available with free two-day shipping. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that the patience that the Lord gives you is built slowly over time. Learning to follow Jesus is a deliberate process that can’t be rushed. But the good news is that every day you stick with it, that process becomes easier.

02.02.2026 - 05 - The Good Ground Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Did you know that you have something in your heart that Satan wants? It’s not something that he wants for himself; it’s something that he wants to rip out of you and destroy. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the moment that God’s Word took root in your heart, you became the enemy’s target. You may face demonic attacks in this life, because the enemy’s goal is for you to allow the blossoming Word of God to die in your heart. It’s something that you need to protect with everything you have.

02.01.2026 - 09 - The Mighty Man Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Living life as a Christian in a world of sin is meant to be difficult. You’re surrounded by people that aren’t held to the same standard that you are, and it would seem so much easier to just give in to sin and follow a looser set of rules. But Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to trade in short-term relief and lose out on the long-term blessings that come with living a life pleasing to God. When you live a righteous life, God will reward you by inviting you into the eternal Kingdom that He is going to establish on Earth.

01.31.2026 - 08 - Fear God and Enjoy Life Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

It’s an unfortunate reality that evil reigns in the world as we know it. Everywhere we look, we can see how evil people have built empires for themselves, exploiting those beneath them without regard for anyone else’s well-being. It can be discouraging for anyone, even a follower of Jesus, to see this kind of evil reigning unchecked. But Pastor Jeff wants us to realize that evil is only in control for a short time. When Jesus returns, He will cast down every evil ruler and tyrant and establish His Kingdom on Earth.

01.30.2026 - 04 - The Seed Among Thorns Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When the Bible says that God sets a table for us in the presence of our enemies, that means that He has already gone before us to prepare the way for us. Sometimes it can feel like we are walking through this life alone, like no one is watching out for us. But Pastor Jeff reminds us that we have a God who cares about us and is looking out for us. If you're feeling alone as you walk through a difficult season, it may just well be because God is preparing the path ahead of you to give you rest!

1.29.2026 - 04 - The Seed Among Thorns Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

What would you do if you got a phone call from an attorney, letting you know that a distant relative left you an inheritance of ten thousand dollars with no strings attached? Even that amount of money can be life-changing in the right circumstances. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that while money is a useful thing to have, it is not the thing that will bring you lasting happiness in this life. There are rich people who never seem to have enough, but the riches found in God’s Word will satisfy your soul.

01.28.2026 - 03 - The Seed in Stony Places Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

One of the three essential elements to building a strong spiritual root system is reading God’s Word! The Bible wasn’t just written for people two thousand years ago; it is full of wisdom that is relevant to you and me today! Pastor Jeff teaches us that we can never learn too much from God’s Word. Every day that we open our Bibles, we are opening new opportunities to hear from our Heavenly Father. The Lord has already given us all of the tools we need to succeed in this world, and it starts with His Word.

01.27.2026 - The Seed in Stony Places Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Trees can grow extremely deep and complex root systems! These roots help anchor trees to the ground, but are also useful to draw moisture from deep underground. These root systems can even stretch down hundreds of feet, depending on the environment! Well, Pastor Jeff wants to teach you in today’s message that your faith in Jesus is a lot like a tree. With weak, shallow roots, your faith can be uprooted in a mild breeze. But with deeper roots, you will be able to withstand strong storms.

01.26.2026 - 02 - The Seed by the Wayside Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

As a Christian, it is all too easy to look at the state of this world and be worried about the future of the faith. But Pastor Jeff encourages you to be hopeful today! There is a revival coming, where men and women, young and old, will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel into communities all around the world! While right now it seems like the soil of humanity is hardened to the Good News, there are people whose hearts are ready to receive the message of hope that Jesus provides.

01.25.2026 - 08 - Fear God and Enjoy Life Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

You are not guaranteed a single second more on Earth than the ones you have already been given. There are plenty of people who got out of bed one morning without knowing that they wouldn’t be ending their day on this side of eternity. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to waste the time you have on this Earth, which is why he quotes the book of Galatians to remind you that you should take every opportunity to do good on the Earth. You never know which good deed will be your last in this world.

Philosophy is one of the vehicles that mankind has built in an effort to understand reality on its own terms. Countless people have turned to philosophy to round out their own worldviews and attempt to fill the God-sized hole in their hearts. But when you realize that all of mankind’s wisdom is eclipsed by the glory of God, you don’t need to listen to those dead men and their thoughts about the world anymore. Pastor Jeff reminds you that you have a direct line of communication the Creator of the universe.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

In C.S. Lewis’ book, The Screwtape Letters, the demon Screwtape says that the easiest road to hell is a gradual one, without signposts or warnings along the way. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff warns you how easy it is to harden your heart against God. Most people who reject the Lord don’t do it in some big emotional moment; it’s usually the result of many small decisions over a long period of time. But you can make small everyday decisions to open your heart towards God as well!

01.20.2026 - 09 - Joseph: The Pinnacle of Promotion Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If you spend significant time in a foreign country, you may notice yourself slowly adopting some of the mannerisms of your host culture. It can be little things like expecting different weather patterns, or it can be something as significant as the way you greet someone for the first time! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that even though Joseph spent most of his life in Egypt, the most important part of his cultural identity remained intact. Joseph remained faithful to God, and God remained faithful to him.

01.19.2026 - 09 - Joseph: The Pinnacle of Promotion Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Now, don’t look directly at the sun, but picture in your mind how big that shining star is in the morning sky. From your perspective, it’s not all that large! But in reality, the entire Earth can fit inside the Sun 1.3 million times! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you are even smaller than that in God’s eyes. The Lord can see everything that is going on in the world, and He isn’t surprised by anything that happens to you. God doesn’t need your help or guidance; He just needs you to be obedient.

01.18.2026 - 07 - Wisdom Brings Strength Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If you were to get lost in a forest, would you rather have a hand-drawn map made by a child or a detailed map of the area with major bodies of water and nearby roads? Clearly, the second option would help you find your way out of danger and back to civilization, while the hand-drawn map would be inaccurate and lead you astray. Well, Pastor Jeff puts it bluntly today, when he reminds you that your heart is an imperfect guide for your life. If you want to navigate the world safely, you need God’s map to be your guide.

01.17.2026 - 07 - Wisdom Brings Strength Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

In order to follow God completely, you need to recognize that His ways are higher than your own and that His plans supersede yours. There will be times in life where His plans line up with yours, but there will also be times where His answer to you is “no”, and you watch your enemy or rival receive the victory that you had been praying for. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to be discouraged when that happens; he wants you to remember that all will be made right at the end of days.

01.16.2026 - 08 - Joseph: The Pain of Preparation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever watched Rocky? One of the most iconic scenes from that movie is Rocky’s training montage, where you can see him working out to the point of exhaustion, pushing himself further and further until he accomplishes his goals. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that if you want to live a great life for God, you are going to have to face difficult trials. Those tough times aren’t there to knock you down. Instead, God sets trials in your life in order to help you grow stronger in your faith!

01.15.2026 - 08 - Joseph: The Pain of Preparation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

God’s sovereignty is an all-or-nothing equation. Either God is God, or He isn’t. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you about how God was directing Joseph’s steps, even though Joseph didn’t know what the end goal was. He suffered through several trials, but chose to remain faithful to God in spite of his circumstances. You have every reason to protest and scream at God when things get tough in this life, but if you are able to trust Him with everything, there is no limit to what He can do through you!

01.14.2026 - 07 - Joseph: The Pit of Betrayal Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

There are two ways to respond when someone wrongs you. The first way is to allow the offense to take hold in your heart, which will eventually cause resentment to grow within you like a disease. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to develop a habit of forgiveness. If you get to the point that you can let offenses slip away, you will be able to experience real peace. In your life. Joseph’s brothers didn’t know how to let go of the resentment in their hearts, and they ended up selling their brother into slavery.

01.13.2026 - 07 - Joseph: The Pit of Betrayal Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

God gave Joseph a dream that the world would bow down before him, even his father, his mother, and his brothers. The way that God made that dream come through for Joseph wasn’t how he envisioned it, but God fulfilled the promise all the same! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God has also promised that all will one day bow before Jesus, even Satan and his forces. So even though things may look bad right now in this world, you can rest in the assurance that God will have the final victory over evil!

01.12.2026 - 07 - Joseph: The Pit of Betrayal Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Favoritism can sow seeds of destruction in a family. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that Israel’s favoritism towards Joseph led his other sons to grow jealous of their younger brother. Their jealousy would fester to the point that the brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Now, maybe your unfavored family members aren’t planning anything that drastic, but showing favoritism can create fissures in the family relationship that will take years to heal, if they even heal at all.

01.11.2026 - 07 - Wisdom Brings Strength Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

When you go to the gym, it’s easy to pick up a small weight and exercise without giving your body any challenge. You won’t feel fatigued at the end of your workout, but you also won’t gain as many of the benefits of the exercise. But when you push yourself to lift a heavier load, your strength will increase as your body adapts to the new weight. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that listening to wise counsel is how you challenge your heart, to make it grow stronger and wiser, instead of opting for easy exercises.

01.10.2026 - 06 - The Value of Wisdom Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Every handyman that has ever lived has at least one tool that has a very specific and unique purpose. It may not be good at a lot of tasks, but there is one task where that tool is an absolute lifesaver, and the handyman will feel like a million bucks when that tool comes in handy. Well, that is exactly how God sees you as well! Pastor Jeff teaches today that you have been created by God to be exactly who you are right now, and you never know when you will be the exact person needed to fulfill His will for the world.

01.09.2026 - 06 - The Patriarchs Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

What if God asked you to give up your most precious possession? Would you be able to say “yes” to the Lord, or would you hesitate and disobey Him? That’s the dilemma that Abraham faced when God asked him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that Abraham had faith in God, and he knew that God would replace what he gave up. There may come a time in your life when God will ask you to sacrifice for Him, but you can be sure that He has something better in store.

01.08.2026 - 06 - The Patriarchs Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Every story has a beginning. For the nation of Israel, that story begins with the patriarchs, the three men who established the lineage for the Israelite people for millennia to come. Pastor Jeff is going to teach us in today’s message that in order for us to understand the story of the Israelites, as well as our own place in this world as followers of Jesus, we must understand how God established His Covenant with Abraham. He called Abraham out of a sinful land, just as He calls us out of this sinful world.

01.07.2026 - 05 - The Tower Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever tried to pay for a meal at a restaurant with Monopoly money? The staff would look at you like you were crazy, and then ask for you to pay with real money. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that any religion that doesn’t teach God’s Word is a false one, and it is as useful in life as play money. False religions have been around for nearly all of human history, but it’s just as important now to learn how to recognize and combat false teachings as they try to infiltrate God’s Church.

01.06.2026 - 05 - The Tower Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Your life will always be a reflection of what you prioritize in your life. If you choose to live for yourself and live the way the world tells you to live, you will find yourself less sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that if you want to live for God, you have to make Him the center of everything in your life! What would your day look like if the first thing you thought of when you woke up was God’s goodness? It will completely transform your life!

01.05.2026 - 04 - The Flood Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

If you have children in your life, or have ever watched someone else’s children, you know how important it is to be patient with them! They may not heed your instructions on the first, second, or even twelfth time you tell them to do something! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God is a patient Father, and He gives plenty of opportunity for people to follow Him. But there is a line in the sand that, if it is crossed, will result in God’s judgment coming against you. Repent now, before you cross that line!

01.04.2026 - 06 - The Value of Wisdom Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re in the exact right place where you’re supposed to be? You can feel an intense sense of purpose in your mundane times of work that leaves you feeling convinced you’re in the right place. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that all of humanity has been created for work. Whether your work is in an office setting, preparing and serving food, or raising the next generation, being an effective and dutiful worker brings glory to the Kingdom of God.

01.03.2026 - 06 - The Value of Wisdom Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Is there a greater sign of your devotion to Jesus than helping lead someone to Him? There are millions of people out in the world today searching for answers to the questions burning deep in their souls, and God is waiting for someone just like you to plant the seed in their hearts that will lead them to come to know Him. Pastor Jeff wants you to feel that ambition in your heart, to realize that winning souls for Christ should be the ultimate goal of the true believer. That is the Great Commission.

01.02.2026 - 04 - The Flood Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

It’s easy to look at the description of the way people lived in Noah’s time, and think that it sounds a lot like today’s standard for living. So many people live their entire lives without ever thinking about God or meditating on the consequences of their sin. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that Noah’s mission wasn’t just to build an ark to escape the flood; he was also warning people about the coming judgment! That’s what you and I are called to do now, to warn people to turn away and repent of their sin!

01.01.2026 - 03 - Why The Flood Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 07:00:00 -0400

God isn’t going to let sin reign unchecked forever! If you look at the news today, it feels like evil is winning! All around the world, innocent people are suffering, and people have fallen away from the love of God. Well, Pastor Jeff wants to remind you today that there is a reckoning coming. It won’t be a worldwide flood like there was in Noah’s time, but it will be a great judgment where all of mankind, from the beginning of time to the end, will be held accountable for the sins they committed on this Earth.

12.31.2025 - 03 - Why The Flood Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

From the moment Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, God had a plan for how He was going to redeem mankind. He established early on that blood sacrifice was the only way to atone for sin. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that as the depravity of mankind increased, the need for a Savior increased as well. But all the way back in the Garden, God knew that His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, would be the worthy sacrifice to atone for the sins of not just a few people, but for all mankind.

12.30.2025 - 02 - The Fall Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The separation between mankind and God is often illustrated as a chasm, with all of us at one end and God at the other. Every sinful action we commit only serves to make that gap wider and deeper, and we cannot ever hope to cross it on our own. Pastor Jeff teaches us today that sin doesn’t just separate us from God physically, but it also causes spiritual separation. When we allow sin to live unchecked in our hearts, we can lose our fellowship with the Holy Spirit and lose our most important counselor.

12.29.2025 - 02 - The Fall Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

If left unchecked, Satan would rampage across the Earth like a bull in a china shop, destroying everything of value in his wake. His desire is to see God’s beautiful creation reduced to ash and for the human race to be completely separated from Him. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that Satan’s power is limited, and while we will still face temptation in this world, God gives us the strength to endure and overcome every single one of Satan’s schemes. God is always going to have the final word.

12.28.2025 - 05 - Enjoy What God Gives You Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Every day you have on this Earth is a gift from God. No matter how careful you are. There is always the possibility of your life ending with no warning, and there is nothing that you can do about it. Pastor Jeff doesn’t say this to scare you, but he does want you to be content with what you do have. If you went to Heaven today, would you be distraught that you never got to enjoy that one extra day, or have that extra bit of money? Or would you be overjoyed to be in the presence of God?

12.27.2025 - 05 - Enjoy What God Gives You Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The enemy may have power on the Earth right now, and sin may abound in every facet of human society, but that doesn’t mean that things will be this way forever. Even King Solomon recognized that God’s justice would prevail in the end. Pastor Jeff gives you the joyous reminder today that since you have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, you don’t have to worry about the judgment you will face at the end of time. Jesus’ death has paid the debt of your sin, and you will spend eternity with Him.

12.26.2025 - 01 - God Made It All Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever stopped to think that your entire life is a miracle? Your eye is made up of millions of cells, working in conjunction to allow your brain to detect light and see things around you. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that the complexity of life points toward an intelligent designer. Your existence isn’t the result of random changes happening over millions and millions of years! Instead, God’s Word teaches that you were wonderfully made, by a Creator who knew you before you were born.

12.25.2025 - 01 - God Made It All Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Psalm 19 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of His hands.” If you look closely, you can see God’s glory manifested throughout all of creation! Even the tiniest blade of grass is the result of intricate and intentional design, and those small details are proof of God’s handiwork. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to look around at the world around you, recognizing that God made everything you can see, and He is Lord over the entire universe, from star to shining star.

12.24.2025 - 02 - God’s Timing Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Not only is God’s timing perfect, but there are times when He gives us something we need before we even need it! The Israelites of Jesus’ time did not realize the true nature of the gift they had in Jesus, but when He was on the cross, one of the last things Jesus did was forgive those who had cast Him aside. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that Jesus has mercy on us even when we reject Him, and He is waiting with open arms to welcome those who call on His name into His family.

12.23.2025 - 02 - God’s Timing Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Not very long ago, clocks needed to be wound regularly in order to keep accurate time. A clock requires some source of stored energy in order to keep the mechanism turning, and if you forgot to wind your watch, you would lose track of what time it is! Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that God’s watch never needs winding. He knows exactly what time it is, and more importantly, He knows exactly when to deliver His blessings to have maximum impact. He has His timing down to the millisecond!

12.22.2025 - 01 - God Became a Man Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The best gift that you and I can receive at Christmas is a reminder of the reason why Jesus came to this world! It didn’t take long after the Garden of Eden for sin to spread and infect this world, and Satan’s forces corrupted everything that God had called good. But Pastor Jeff reminds us that God has the final word in His creation! He sent His only son, Jesus, to stand in the gap between man and God and restore the bonds that were broken. His sacrifice made a way for us to be saved from death!

12.21.2025 - 05 - Enjoy What God Gives You Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Wouldn’t we love to get the most out of church every time we attend? Well, as humans, there are always going to be things trying to distract us when we spend time in God’s presence. But Pastor Jeff encourages us to approach God with thanksgiving in our hearts, and to clear our minds of things that are distracting or that shut us out from good and righteous thoughts. The enemy doesn’t want us to spend time in worship, and he will try and throw every possible obstacle in our way to distract us.

12.20.2025 - 04 - Two Are Better Than One Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you go deep-sea diving, you’re usually paired up with a “buddy” that you must stay close to at all times. In the deep, dark ocean, you need someone who is watching your back, and they likewise need you watching their back, to ensure that you both complete the dive safely. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to find a church or a faith community that helps you navigate through life, but remember that it’s just as important to contribute and help others as it is to seek help for yourself.

12.19.2025 - 01 - God Became a Man Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Christmas is one of the biggest holidays of the year for those of us who follow Christ! We are celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who took on flesh and made His dwelling among us. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches us that the unique circumstances surrounding Jesus, from His miraculous conception and birth to His dual nature as man and God, all contribute to Him being a one-of-a-kind person! There is no other religious figure who can hold a candle to Jesus’ glory.

12.18.2025 - 02 - Peace on Earth Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

A lot of things about following God are illogical. Paul and Barnabas singing songs of praise while in prison is illogical. Noah building an ark on dry ground is illogical. Abraham leading his son to certain death on Mount Moriah is illogical. But what Pastor Jeff teaches us today is that the peace that God gives us in uncertain times defies all human logic. It gives us the grace and the confidence to do what He tells us. Even in the toughest of circumstances, we can find comfort as we abide in His peace.

12.17.2025 - 01 - Christmas Joy Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Satan will spend countless resources trying to convince people that God isn’t real, or if He is real, that He doesn’t have any control over this world. When catastrophes happen, one of the first things people ask is why a loving God would allow bad things to happen. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that, no matter what the world says, Jesus is still in control! You may not understand why things are happening the way they are right now, but you can rest in the promise that He has a plan for it all.

12.16.2025 - 01 - Christmas Joy Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Jesus was born into an extremely difficult time in Jewish history. Under Roman occupation, the Hebrew people had very little freedom, and that freedom could be stripped away with one word from Caesar Augustus. But Pastor Jeff reminds us in today’s message that the birth of Jesus brought joy to those who encountered Him, because He represented the hope of a new Kingdom that would one day replace every kingdom of mankind! Jesus is a bright light that cuts through the darkness of the world.

12.15.2025 - 03 - Christmas Signs Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

We’ve heard how Jesus’ birth was miraculous and defied all sorts of human expectations for how the Messiah would come into this world. But what Pastor Jeff wants us to understand today is that just as Christ’s birth was miraculous, His death on the cross was brutal and barbaric. But yet, we read in God’s Word that Jesus willingly surrendered Himself to this fate, because He knew that His sacrifice of pain and death would make a way for all of those who call on Him to be saved from sin.

12.14.2025 - 04 - Two Are Better Than One Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Look at the richest and most powerful people in today’s world. What are they doing besides trying to gain more power and riches for themselves? Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there is a difference between those who live in contentment with what God has given them and those who are consumed by the drive and desire for more. God wants you to be content and to realize that He will provide for your needs. Look back on your life up until this point, and think about how He has gotten you this far.

12.13.2025 - 04 - Two Are Better Than One Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Sometimes when you’re in a stressful situation, the thing that helps you stop spiraling is to see the situation from a different angle. Getting a fresh perspective on the situation, either from consulting with a close friend or from mentally choosing a different approach, can ease your anxiety and give you new energy. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God has the ultimate vantage point, and He can show you the kind of perspective shift to give you a hopeful view of life.

12.12.2025 - 03 - Christmas Signs Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

There was nothing ordinary about Jesus’ birth. From the immaculate conception to the circumstances that led Mary to give birth in a stable for animals, Jesus came into this world as the result of many miracles. Pastor Jeff wants us to realize that the miracles surrounding Jesus’ birth help highlight Him as the Son of God, the Messiah that humanity had been waiting for. Christmas isn’t just a day to open presents and sing carols; it’s a time to celebrate the night that God took on human form!

12.11.2025 - 02 - Christmas Hope Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

How different would things be if you didn’t get second chances? What if every crime were punishable by life imprisonment? What if you only got one strike in baseball before you were out? Sometimes, second chances are a chance to grow and learn from your mistakes, but there are some things you only get one swing at! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you only have one soul, and there are only two places where that soul will go after death. You need to take the fate of your soul extremely seriously.

12.10.2025 - 02 - Christmas Hope Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

We live in a world that desperately needs a source of hope. The problem is that every time we put our hope in something manmade, we end up disappointed! This is a fallen world, and the things that we build for ourselves eventually crumble to dust. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we have a responsibility to share a message of hope with the entire world! Jesus came to this world to bring hope to the hopeless, and we are empowered to share that hope with everyone we meet!

12.09.2025 - 01 - Christmas Providence Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

God rarely uses direct language to guide us in this life. Instead, He gently guides us in the way we should go, so that we can learn to recognize His will for our lives without even being told. Pastor Jeff teaches us today that when Joseph was told that it was safe to take his family back to Israel, he wasn’t told where to take them. But the Lord guided Joseph’s steps, and the family settled in Nazareth. If you are following God’s will for your life, you can be certain that He will bless the steps in front of you.

12.08.2025 - 01 - Christmas Providence Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The story of humanity is permanently scarred by sin. Ever since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, we have had to deal with sin, sickness, and death, as the beauty of God’s original creation decayed and fell into disorder. But Pastor Jeff reminds us that the hope we celebrate in this Christmas season is that Jesus has come to set us free! We are no longer condemned to punishment for our sin, but instead we have the opportunity to spend eternity in the presence of the Father.

12.07.2025 - 03 - Times and Seasons… Turn, Turn, Turn Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever thought that thermodynamics can be an illustration of God’s creation? Well, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy can change forms, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Similarly, the book of Ecclesiastes teaches that mankind cannot add to or take away from God’s creation. Pastor Jeff encourages you to practice humility and recognize that all of humanity’s advancement and knowledge cannot take away from God’s glorious Creation.

12.06.2025 - 03 - Times and Seasons… Turn, Turn, Turn Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Think of the cycles of life that you see in nature. As the seasons change, plants bloom in the spring and summer, then fade and die during the fall and autumn. And in the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon observes that human lives function in a similar cycle. Pastor Jeff wants you to realize today that there is something valuable to be gained, no matter what season of life you are in. The opportunities you have right now in your life won’t be around forever, so will you let them go to waste?

When firefighters rescue people from burning buildings, they don’t stop helping them once they reach the exit. Those people are still in danger while they’re anywhere close to the fire! Well, Pastor Jeff reminds us today that God doesn’t just free us from sin, but He places us in a new environment within His Kingdom. If we were rescued from sin but not given a new way to live, we would fall right back into our sinful habits. But in God’s Kingdom, we have the opportunity to live for something greater!

Have you ever watched a spy movie and wished you were given an important assignment of your own? Well, you may not be part of a secret organization like the ones you see in the movies, but you are part of God’s Church, and you are part of the Great Commission to reach people for the Gospel! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Great Commission is both a corporate and an individual mandate: everyone is responsible for playing their part in drawing people in to witness the glory of God’s Kingdom.

They say first impressions are everything. If your first interaction with someone goes poorly, there’s a chance that person won’t want to be around you in the future. But Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize today that you may also be the first representative of the Kingdom of God that someone will ever meet. If you are allowing the fruit of the Spirit to flourish in your life, you have a better likelihood of giving that person a good first impression of Jesus! Is your life a good reflection of His goodness?

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

It’s good for us Christians to be engaged in our society. While we don’t belong to this world, we are still living in it, and we should live lives that bring glory to God in our communities. However, Pastor Jeff reminds us that our citizenship in this world isn’t our priority! Scripture teaches that we are citizens of the Kingdom of God, which we received the moment we accepted Christ into our hearts. The kingdoms of this world will all crumble one day, but the Lord will reign forever and ever!

12.01.2025 - 04 - The Crucial Importance of Waiting on God Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Following God requires you to be patient. It’s so easy to want to be in the right place right now and to try to rush God’s plans for your life. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there is value in the moment you are in. Life isn’t just about the destination; it’s also about the journey you take on your way to that destination. God can work in you in those moments of waiting, so that you can be better prepared to receive the blessing that is coming. But all of this requires you to be patient and to wait on the Lord.

11.30.2025 - 02 - The Emptiness of Pleasure for Pleasure’s Sake Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you get in your car, you need fuel in the tank to get going, and you need the key to start the engine. Without either of these vital components, the car won’t start. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that in order to endure and overcome the temptations of the world, you need God’s wisdom as your fuel, but you have also been given the key to unlock it as an adopted child of God. Because your sin has been covered by the blood of Christ, you have been granted access to the wisdom, knowledge, and joy that He provides.

11.29.2025 - 02 - The Emptiness of Pleasure for Pleasure’s Sake Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you visualize all of the choices you make in life, it can feel like an endless spiderweb of possibilities and hypothetical “what-if” scenarios for how your life will turn out. But in God’s eyes, those paths only have two possible outcomes: life with Him or life without Him. Pastor Jeff warns you today to prioritize your life with God while you still can, because all of the earth’s pleasures and treasures are temporary. When they all fade away, what will you be left holding at the end? Be sure you’re holding on to the Lord.

11.28.2025 - 04 - The Crucial Importance of Waiting on God Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

If you have a dog or a cat at home, have you ever wondered what they think when you leave for work? Some people will set up cameras in their homes and capture images of their beloved pets waiting by the door for hours for their owners to return home. But that pet cannot possibly understand why you are gone for so long! Pastor Jeff reminds you that mankind is incapable of fully understanding God’s plans. All you can do is be patient and wait on His timing to accomplish His Will.

11.27.2025 - 03 - How To Know God Is Guiding You Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Finding a river in the middle of a desert seems pretty unlikely! But so did the prospect of rebuilding Israel when the Israelites were returning from captivity. But just as God provided for the Israelites when they couldn’t see a way forward, the Lord can do the same for you today. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff encourages you to have faith in the impossible. Because if God is the one ordaining your steps, He will tear down the roadblocks in front of you. Faith in the Lord can accomplish the impossible.

11.26.2025 - 03 - How To Know God Is Guiding You Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

If you were packing for a long hiking journey, would you rather have a map drawn on the back of a napkin? Or would you rather have a detailed map of the trail, complete with information about rest stops and camping sites along the way? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to make sure that you’re taking advantage of the most useful map you have available to you. God’s Word is the map that will guide you through this life, no matter what kinds of challenges you face along the way.

11.25.2025 - 02 - In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Listen, dating is a complicated process! It can take years for you to find someone that you feel comfortable dating, and by the time you get to that point, it can become difficult to let that relationship go. But in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that even your romantic relationships should build you up in your faith, not tear you down or distract you from following God. So if your potential partner isn’t going after God in their own life, that relationship has the potential to be destructive for both of you.

11.24.2025 - 02 - In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Have you ever used GPS to navigate an unfamiliar area, and the directions told you to make a turn onto a road that just wasn’t there? Well, it turns out that even with our advanced technology, we can still be led astray by human knowledge. That’s why Pastor Jeff is reminding you today how important it is to live your life with God as your true compass. The ways of man are liable to get it wrong more often than not. But God’s truth is perfect, and His Word will never lead you down the wrong path.

11.23.2025 - 01 - The Cycles of Life Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you buy a piece of furniture or equipment that requires assembly, it usually comes with an instruction manual that gives you the steps needed to complete the project. If someone else tried to look a the finished product and write their own manual, the instructions would be incomplete and unreliable. Pastor Jeff wants you to ask a big question today: why do people look at the instruction manuals that men write for themselves, when you have access to God’s Word, given to you by the Creator himself?

11.22.2025 - 01 - The Cycles of Life Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 22 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

How long would you be able to hold on if you had no hope for a better future? The world is full of broken people living broken lives: people who are looking for any reason to keep holding on. Pastor Jeff lays out the structure of the book of Ecclesiastes in today’s message and shows you how true faith in Jesus can give you the hope you need to hold on through this life. No matter how difficult life’s challenges may get, you have a God who cares for you and has prepared a better place for you.

11.21.2025 - 01 - Can You Trust Him With That? Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The rearview mirror in your car is useful for lots of reasons. It gives you a way to see if there’s a vehicle behind you, but it also serves to remind you of where you’re coming from. Pastor Jeff teaches us today that we need a rearview mirror in our own lives, to remind us of how God has provided for us so far. It becomes easier to trust Him in the present when we reflect on what He has done for us in the past. But when we forget to look back, it can be easy to get locked up in fear and lose faith in the Lord.

11.20.2025 - 01 - Can You Trust Him With That? Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Sometimes we just want God to take the wheel, to take control over our lives without having to put in any effort ourselves. Wouldn’t it be easier that way? But in Pastor Jeff’s message today, he reminds us that following God isn’t some passive activity, where we get to play passenger as He drives the car. We still play an active role in our lives on this Earth, but what God does is gently guide us, showing up in ways we don’t expect, so that we can gain wisdom even in the difficult trials we face in this life.

11.19.2025 - 02 - The War of Gog and Magog Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The Middle East has always been a region full of tension. The Israelites weren’t able to just walk into the Promised Land after leaving slavery in Egypt, they had to fight to take possession of what had been given to them. But Pastor Jeff warns us today that the most pivotal conflict in that region has not happened yet, and it may be coming sooner than we think. Despite the coming violence, we will see God move to intervene on behalf of His people like we have never seen before.

11.18.2025 - 02 - The War of Gog and Magog Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

How good are we at predicting the future? For the most part, we don’t even know how the next two or three days are going to play out. But yet, the prophet Ezekiel received a vision from God that allowed Him to predict the rebuilding of the nation of Israel, twenty-six hundred years before it came to pass! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that not only does God know how this story ends, He knows the beginning and the middle of the story as well. Nothing comes as a surprise to Him.

11.17.2025 - 01 - The Ancient Hatred Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The Bible teaches us that from God’s point of view, a thousand years is like a day, and one day is like a thousand years. God doesn’t see the world on the same timeline that you and I do, but that doesn’t mean that He isn’t faithful to fulfill His promises. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you how God’s faithfulness to Israel continues to this day, as He brought His people back to the land of their ancestors after nearly two thousand years of exile. The Lord’s promises endure forever.

11.16.2025 - 08 - The Ultimate Fighter: King David Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

One of the ways that God proves his might to mankind is by using unusual people to fulfill His plans and purposes. He doesn’t pick the strongest or smartest people from the population; he goes after those who society has passed over. The humble shepherd boy, youngest and smallest among all of his brothers, became the warrior that none of them could be on their own, and Pastor Jeff shows you today that it’s all because of his faith in God. That faith gave him the strength of a whole army.

11.15.2025 - 08 - The Ultimate Fighter: King David Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you’re reading an epic story of good versus evil, it can be hard to resist the urge to skip to the final chapter and see how it ends. There’s that small part of you that wants to know if good will prevail, or if evil will win the day. Well, when it comes to the spiritual battle that the church is facing, the ending has already been written in Scripture! But Pastor Jeff has to temper your expectations today, because there are some facets of the modern church that act like the end of the story is unknown.

11.14.2025 - 01 - The Ancient Hatred Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The conflict between the Arabs and Jews in the Middle East can be traced back all the way to the time of Isaac and Ishmael. From a childhood rivalry between two sons of Abraham, the conflict has turned bloody and violent, with millions of innocent people caught in the crossfire. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that this conflict we see today in the Middle East is by no means a new thing, and it is liable to get worse before it gets better. But no matter what happens, remember that God is still in control.

11.13.2025 - 05 - Mount Calvary Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The uncomfortable truth of God’s Law says that the penalty for sin is death. That’s a price that you can literally only pay once, and it’s something you can’t get back once it’s gone. But in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that God has provided another option for those who are guilty of sin, and that is to follow Jesus! He becomes the mediator between mankind and God, and allows the relationship that was broken in the Garden of Eden to be restored, bringing Creation into the presence of the Creator.

11.12.2025 - 05 - Mount Calvary Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Living in sin is like living with a negative balance in your bank account. Every transgression is another charge that puts you a little bit further into the hole. Eventually, that bill is going to come due, and you won’t have enough money in the whole world to pay for it! But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the death of Jesus on the cross made a way for you to live a life with no sin balance at all. By accepting Jesus’ gift of salvation, your past sins are wiped away, and your future is secured in Him.

11.11.2025 - 05 - The Mount of Transfiguration – Who to Listen to Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Jesus doesn’t just want to be someone you call on when you need spiritual guidance. Living in the way of Jesus means that you rely on Him for everything you need! Pastor Jeff reminds you that there are thousands, even millions of voices that you can listen to as you make your way through this life. But if you quiet your mind and distance yourself from the noise, you will hear the still, small voice of Jesus calling out to you. He will provide you with what you need to endure and overcome this world.

11.10.2025 - 04 - The Mount of Transfiguration – Who to Listen to Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The light that comes straight from a light bulb can often be harsh, even blinding sometimes. That’s why people use lampshades or filters to help diffuse that light and let it spread out more evenly. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when Jesus revealed His divinity to Peter, James, and John, it was like taking a lampshade off to reveal the true light underneath. That light was always present when Jesus was around, but His human form served to shield people from the full force of His Glory.

11.09.2025 - 07 - Top Chef: Jesus’ Fish Fry on the Seashore Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

The first step in forgiving someone is letting go of your grudge against them. You’re allowed to recognize the hurt that their actions may have caused you, but follow that acknowledgment with another one: that you can’t seek vengeance on your own. Today, Pastor Jeff uses the example of Jesus to illustrate this point: He could have brought down literal fire and brimstone on Peter in retaliation for his betrayal, but instead, Jesus surrendered Peter’s treachery and responded in love and compassion for His friend.

11.08.2025 - 07 - Top Chef: Jesus’ Fish Fry on the Seashore Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

A lot of healing can take place over a meal. Sitting down to eat with someone is a very human experience, where all involved are taking care of their physical need for food. In the case of Jesus and the disciples, they had an opportunity to eat together after Peter returned to his life of fishing. Pastor Jeff shows you today how the breaking of bread between Jesus and Peter mended the relationship that had been previously strained. Peter’s denial of Jesus was forgiven, and the bond between man and God was restored.

11.07.2025 - 03 - The Mount of Olives – Suffering and Victory Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Pastor Jeff reminds us today that people are always watching us. Maybe it’s those we pass on our way to work every day, the cashier serving you at the grocery store, or it can even be members of your family. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants us to be inspired to build a habit of prayer so profound that it becomes noticeable to the people around us. Not so that we can look holy in front of others, but so that people can see the Holy Spirit living inside us, as He makes us into new creations.

11.06.2025 - 03 - The Mount of Olives – Suffering and Victory Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Bible Prophecy is kind of like a roadmap. Not only does it tell us where the world is going, it also serves to remind us of what has happened before! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that there are many things prophesied in God’s Word that have already come true, and more things that have yet to happen. But because we’ve seen those prophecies come true in the past, we can also have faith that the prophecies that have yet to happen will eventually come to pass! We have to wait on the Lord’s timing.

11.05.2025 - 02 - Mount Carmel – Make Up Your Mind Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

When you go to get into a pool, it’s hard for your body to adjust to the temperature of the water. Some people lower themselves into the water slowly because they’re afraid of the cold. But sometimes, in order to acclimate to the water quickly, you just need to jump straight into the water! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that you need to be fully committed to following Jesus if you want to see Him do great things in you. He won’t do much in your life if you keep second-guessing His calling.

11.04.2025 - 02 - Mount Carmel – Make Up Your Mind Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

You may think that you’re safe from the sin of idolatry because you don’t bow down to a little statue of Buddha in your closet. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that idolatry isn’t just about worshipping other gods; it’s about letting things get between you and your worship of the one true God. Anything can become an idol if you let it take precedence over your relationship with Jesus. Your favorite sports team, that new show that’s on TV, and even your closest friends can become idols.

11.03.2025 - 01 - Mount Sinai – Moses Meets God! Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Jesus did the one thing that is impossible for an ordinary human to achieve in this life: He lived a life fully without sin! Pastor Jeff teaches us today that even though Jesus faced temptation just like you and I do every day, He was able to hold fast and avoid giving in to His human impulses. It’s because of that perfect record that His sacrifice was able to cover the sin debt of all mankind. You and I have the opportunity to be forgiven of our sins, all because Jesus was the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments.

11.02.2025 - 06 - The Biggest Loser: The Rich Fool Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0400

In baseball, pitchers dream of throwing the “perfect game”: a game where not a single opposing player gets on base across all nine innings. It’s an extremely rare occurrence and requires great skill from the pitcher and his teammates to accomplish. If you think a perfect game is hard to pull off, wait till you see how hard it is to live a life without sin! Pastor Jeff wants you to realize today that everyone has sinned in their lifetime, and the only way to avoid the punishment for that sin is to surrender your life to Jesus.

11.01.2025 - 06 - The Biggest Loser: The Rich Fool Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Not one person on Earth is guaranteed tomorrow. You never know when your number will be called, and you’ll find yourself standing face to face with God, to give an account for your life. The rich man in Luke 12 did not understand this, and instead, he was worried about building his personal wealth. Pastor Jeff implores you today to not get your priorities twisted. Rely on God to provide for your material needs, and ask Him to draw you closer to His presence. That is something money can’t buy.

10.31.2025 - 01 - Mount Sinai – Moses Meets God! Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you’re driving on a windy mountain road, and you see a metal guardrail along the side of the road, do you get mad that the guardrail is stopping you from doing what you want to do? Or do you recognize that the guardrail is there to protect you from danger? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that the Ten Commandments weren’t meant to limit the Israelites’ behavior; it was meant to give them healthy boundaries to create a society that honored God and respected each other.

10.30.2025 - 06 - Sin Is For Real Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you live in a big city, there’s usually a few different routes to get to any given place in that city. Maybe there’s a freeway that gets you there faster, while the route that goes through neighborhoods is a little more peaceful. Well, if you’re trying to get to Heaven, there is only one road to take! And that is the road that you gain access to by accepting Jesus’ gift of salvation. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that none of the world’s religions or spiritual figures can get you into Heaven. Only Jesus can.

10.29.2025 - 06 - Sin Is For Real Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever watched people that make trick shot videos online? While their clips may only show times that they successfully made a basketball shot from the upper deck of a stadium, or they made a hole-in-one golf shot from five hundred yards away, the truth is that there are countless takes where they failed to meet their target. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that all of us have fallen short of God’s target, but our God is a merciful God! Jesus’ blood is able to cover over all of our sins.

10.28.2025 - 05 - The Necessity of a Renewed Mind Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo’s friend Sam stops as they’re leaving the Shire on their long journey, saying, “If I take one more step, it’ll be the farthest from home I’ve ever been.” Sam may have taken one step in that moment, but it would take countless more steps for him and Frodo to reach their destination. Pastor Jeff teaches today that the Holy Spirit’s transforming work doesn’t happen all at once. It takes thousands of tiny steps and lots of time to make you into a new creation.

10.27.2025 - 05 - The Necessity of a Renewed Mind Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Every piece of pottery in the entire world starts out as a lump of clay, harvested from the earth itself. It takes the work of a craftsman to transform that piece of clay into a vase, a plate, or any other object that you can imagine. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that while you and I are products of this world, we are meant to be shaped and formed into completely different beings. That’s where the Holy Spirit comes into play, because as we faithfully follow Jesus, He renews us from the inside out.

10.26.2025 - 05 - Extreme Makeover: The Madman of Gadara Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

So many stories that are in the Bible are there to be instructive to the Christian life. The reason that the Bible spends time looking at Jesus casting out demons is because you and I have the task of fighting Satan’s forces in our time as well! Pastor Jeff will show us today how to recognize demonic influences in our world, and how we can call on the name of Jesus to cast out those evil spirits. It is not by our strength that we can do this, but it is through the power of Christ that is already in us.

10.25.2025 - 05 - Extreme Makeover: The Madman of Gadara Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When we go to see a stage play, we are usually only seeing part of the cast and crew on stage at any given time. Behind the scenes, there are all sorts of people making the show happen. Although these people work together to create an enjoyable experience for the audience, Pastor Jeff teaches us today that there are dark forces behind the curtains of our reality. Satan is real, and his objective is to push humanity further away from the love of God. But with Jesus’ help, we can fight back against the enemy.

10.24.2025 - 04 - Satan Is Real! Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There may be some of you listening to this program today, and thinking that you’re too small of a target for Satan. Maybe you’re not involved in ministry, and you’re not really doing anything to grow God’s Kingdom. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that since you have a unique and special calling on your life, that does make you a target in the enemy’s eyes! But God isn’t going to leave you exposed to danger. Satan and his forces cannot harm you, but they will do everything they can to lead you astray.

10.23.2025 - 04 - Satan Is Real! Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The book of Proverbs warns against pride, reminding us that it leads to destruction. Well, we also learn in today’s message that pride is the sin that turned Lucifer against God. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want us to indulge in pride, because when we think we’re the smartest people in the world, we put our own opinions over God’s. The wisest thing we can do as followers of Jesus is to be willing to die to ourselves every day so that we can follow the Lord better. That’s how we set ourselves apart from Satan.

10.22.2025 - 03 - God Made Everything, Including You! Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The Bible teaches that all of life is precious. From the people you pass on the street every day, to unborn children around the world, every person on this planet is uniquely designed by God. But Pastor Jeff teaches you in today’s message that not everyone holds that same view of human life. One of the easiest ways to forget about the sanctity of human life is to ignore the One who created humanity in the first place. God made the entire universe, but humanity is His most prized creation.

10.21.2025 - 03 - God Made Everything, Including You! Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Everything in this world has a beginning, especially the world itself! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there are people who deny that there is an intelligent design to this world, and instead believe that it is the result of random chance. But if you’re going to have a Biblical worldview, you need to believe that God was involved in the Creation of the world! The Bible teaches that God created the entire world and called it good, and you are called to glorify God’s name by glorifying His handiwork in the world.

10.20.2025 - 02 - Who Are You Listening To? Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Aren’t you glad that there is a source of absolute truth in this world? It seems like that for every thing you hold to be true, there is a complication or an argument to be made against it, however minor it may be. However, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Word of God is a source of absolute truth, and it is still relevant today! While modern times are vastly different from Biblical times, Scripture gives you a solid worldview through which you can understand the world in the way that God sees it.

10.19.2025 - 04 - The Apprentice: Elisha Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you were to go ziplining, wouldn’t you trust a braided steel cable versus a ragged nylon rope? The stronger the material making up the rope, the more tension it will be able to withstand. And just like that zipline, you need the strongest materials, in order to get through the challenges of life. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to recognize God as the ultimate source of strength for your life. If you build your life on His principles, you won’t need to worry about what the world puts in your way.

10.18.2025 - 04 - The Apprentice: Elisha Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you’re in the Kingdom of God, there is no going back to the way things used to be! You can’t just turn back the clock and go back into a life of sin. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that just like the Israelites were taken out of slavery and left Egypt behind, Elisha left his former life behind when he chose to follow Elijah. His old line of work was left in the dust because Elisha had chosen to pursue the things of God. What is the Lord asking you to leave behind, to pursue His will for your life?

10.17.2025 - 02 - Who Are You Listening To? Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

With today’s technology, you have no shortage of pastors and teachers to listen to! And with that variety of voices comes a wide spectrum of ideas. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that, unfortunately, there are many pastors out there who teach more like motivational speakers than like messengers of God. Those weak pastors will produce weak fruit, people who aren’t truly living in the way of Jesus. If you want to grow in your faith, find a pastor that will teach straight from God’s Word.

10.16.2025 - 01 - What in the World is a Worldview? Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you are feeding an infant, you have to give them soft food that they don’t have to chew. But as they get older, they need to be able to eat solid food, so that they can grow strong and healthy. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there are many Christians today who are stuck in that infant stage. They worship Jesus but don’t believe that God’s Word is absolute truth. A follower of Jesus needs to believe in the absolute truth of God’s Word, because otherwise their witness will be empty and meaningless.

10.15.2025 - 01 - What in the World is a Worldview? Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If your phone or your computer starts to run slowly after a few years, one step you can try to fix the issue is to do a factory reset! By restoring your device to the way it was when it was brand new, you can clean out some of the junk files that have built up over time. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that God wants to reset your mind because renewing your mind will make it easier for you to follow God’s will for your life instead of constantly giving in to your own desires.

10.14.2025 - 02 - Don’t be Babyl-ized Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Daniel and his friends didn’t just have to say “no” to Babylonian influence once. Instead, they had to say “no” every day, even multiple times a day! Every meal with indulgent food, every lesson taught from a Babylonian perspective, every conversation with a fellow student or a teacher was an opportunity for the young Israelite men to give in. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that as you grow stronger in your faith in Jesus, it starts to become easier to say “no” to the things of this world.

10.13.2025 - 02 - Don’t be Babyl-ized Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are some trees that, as they get older, will grow massive root systems that anchor them into the ground. They can get to the point where not even a tornado can rip them out! Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff is going to teach you that in order to withstand the pressures to conform to this world, you’re going to need to place deep roots in God’s Word! When you know what God wants for your life, inside and out, you will be able to resist the temptations of earthly pleasures that surround you every day.

10.12.2025 - 03 - Lost: The Prodigal Son Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It’s pretty easy to find out who your real friends are when you begin to go through difficult times. If someone in your family is suffering from an illness, who in your circle is checking in on you? If you’re going through financial hardship, who’s the friend calling you and inviting you to fellowship together? Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the godly friends that you gain are worth their weight in gold. God can use them to help guide you back towards the path of righteousness when you fall astray.

10.11.2025 - 03 - Lost: The Prodigal Son Part 1 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever met someone who was a fan of two rival sports teams? Maybe they pick a side when they play each other, but they’ll cheer for each team individually when they’re playing other opponents. But you can’t do that when it comes to the Kingdom of God. You can’t sit on the fence. Pastor Jeff teaches that if you don’t serve God, you are His enemy. The world will eventually be destroyed and remade in God’s perfect vision. What side will you be on when that happens?

10.10.2025 - 01 - The Importance of Who is Defining You Part 2 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

People in this world are just looking for a place to belong. They find kinship in culture, in relationships, and even in church. But humans are bound to let other humans down, because we’re inherently broken and imperfect. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that only God can give us an identity that will withstand the world’s attacks, because it’s built not in what we do, but it’s based on who we serve! Our identity in God is unchanging because He is unchanging, and He has adopted us as His own.

10.09.2025 - 01 - The Importance of Who is Defining You Part 1 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Everyone has good and bad experiences in this life. That’s just part of being human. You can probably name two or three instances in your childhood that shaped you into the person you are today, whether they had a positive or a negative effect on you in the long run. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that in order to live the life that God has for you, you need to let go of other people’s opinions of you. The only person whose opinion truly matters is the one who formed you in your mother’s womb.

10.08.2025 - 04 - Finish the Race Part 2 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are many people out there today who think that because they call themselves Christians, and attend a church service once every few months, that they are saved from their sin. But Pastor Jeff warns you today that following Jesus isn’t a one-and-done deal. It requires you to surrender control of your life, and to submit yourself to a different way of living. Someone who claims Jesus but doesn’t submit to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit isn’t following Jesus, they are following their own interests.

10.07.2025 - 04 - Finish the Race Part 1 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Many people in today’s world are short-sighted, focused only on what’s happening right in their immediate future. And while there can be value in paying attention to the moment we’re living in, Pastor Jeff reminds us that life is a marathon! Instead of focusing only on the things happening right now, we are to pay attention to the things that have eternal ramifications. Following Jesus is one of those things that we must spend our whole lives doing, but we know that the reward is worth persevering for.

10.06.2025 - 03 - The Final Words of the Great Apostle Part 2 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

One way that civil engineers make roads safer for people to drive on is to put rumble strips in the roads, to alert drivers that they need to slow down before they cause an accident. Now, if the drivers get mad at the engineers for making their ride bumpy, they’re missing the point completely! Pastor Jeff teaches us today that if we are seeking to warn people about the dangerous road they’re on in this life, we’re not being irritating for the sake of being irritating. We’re trying to steer them away from death!

10.05.2025 - 02 - Survivor: Joseph The Rejected One Part 2 Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Believe it or not, everything happens for a reason. While the enemy may try and influence the world for evil purposes, God can use those actions for His Glory. Pastor Jeff shows you today how important it was for Joseph to be where he ended up, because his actions saved the nation of Egypt, as well as the family of Israel, from a disastrous famine. If you can’t understand why God is leading you into a difficult season, have faith that He has something better for you up ahead.

10.04.2025 - 02 - Survivor: Joseph The Rejected One Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 04 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Let’s face it, we are going to face troubles in life! The consequences of living in a fallen and broken world are that we are surrounded by broken people, everyone trying to deal with their own messes. But by coming to know Christ, we have gotten a peek at a better way to live life! We still live in the broken world, but we know that there is a better life to come. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that in order to get there, we need to persevere in following God’s commandments, even when life gets difficult.

10.03.2025 - 03 - The Final Words of the Great Apostle Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There was an old game show called Pros versus Joes, where everyday contestants would face off in physical challenges against professional athletes. And in most cases, these average “Joes” couldn’t hold a candle to the performance of an athlete who had trained for years to reach their peak performance! Pastor Jeff wants you to understand today that if you want God to use you for great things, you have to spend the time getting into His Word. You’re not going to go from Joe to Pro overnight.

10.02.2025 - Still Standing When the Dust Settles Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Some of us are obsessed with the new thing. When we find a new music artist we like, we start with their most recent album, even if their most popular songs are from twenty years ago. Or if we start a new TV show, we only want to watch the recent seasons. But Pastor Jeff implores us today to take the Old Testament just as seriously as the New Testament. The Apostles didn’t have a distinction between Old and New. Instead, they recognized that all of Scripture is God’s inspired Word.

10.01.2025 - 02 - Still Standing When the Dust Settles Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever caught someone following you or staring at you from a long distance away? It can make you feel uncomfortable, knowing that your actions are being watched by someone else. Pastor Jeff isn’t trying to make you nervous today, but he does want you to understand that there are people in your life who are looking at you as an example of Christian living. If you were the only reflection of Jesus that someone ever encountered, would they be left with a good or a bad impression of Him?

09.30.2025 - 01 - Perilous Times and Perilous Men Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It’s easy to wonder why God allows false teachers to deceive people for as long as they do. Doesn’t He want believers to have an easier time going through life, not having to worry about being deceived by false teachers? But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you can always recognize a false teacher by the fruit their work produces. It may not be immediately apparent, but a rotten vine will not be able to produce good and Godly fruit. But a teacher that follows the words of Jesus will produce good fruit.

09.29.2025 - 01 - Perilous Times and Perilous Men Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever worked on a group project, but had one person not be of help at all, and yet still manage to take credit for completing the assignment? As annoying as that situation can be, the truth is that when it comes to our relationship with God, we are that slacking person! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we cannot achieve anything for ourselves when it comes to life after this world. The only way we can achieve eternal life is by the grace of God; none of us are worthy of Heaven otherwise.

09.28.2025 - 01 - Fear Factor, The Disciples at Sea Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Nothing is more important than deciding who Jesus is to you. Was He just a good man? Another religious prophet? Or is He the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the only way into an eternity filled with God's love? Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to take a moment to reflect on the teachings, sacrifice, and love that God has for you. Allow His truth to penetrate your heart and guide your life, for in Him, you find purpose, fulfillment, and the promise of eternal life. Choose to follow Jesus and experience His grace.

09.27.2025 - 01 - Fear Factor, The Disciples at Sea Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 27 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It doesn't matter how far you've drifted from the Lord or where you are. God knows what you've struggled with and wants to help you overcome your circumstances and rise to new heights you never thought possible. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that no matter how broken or lost you may feel, God’s love and grace are far greater than any obstacle. Trust in His unfailing love, and allow Him to guide you toward restoration. There are no limits to what you can achieve through Jesus.

09.26.2025 - 01 - Perilous Times and Perilous Men Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

What is a behavior that you consider to be “typical” for someone who isn’t a believer in Christ? Maybe it’s the kind of language they use, the substances they consume, or even the kind of people they hang out with. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Christians are subjected to the same temptations as anyone else living in this world. But when a self-professed follower of Jesus gives in to those temptations, it can begin to cast doubt on that person’s devotion to Jesus and be a cause for correction.

09.25.2025 - 03 - The Influence of the Holy Spirit Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There’s an old children’s cartoon called Inspector Gadget, featuring a bumbling main character whose robotic body contains all sorts of devices and, well, gadgets, to help him solve any problem he comes across. Now, God’s Word isn’t a cartoon character, but it is a powerful tool that is useful in all occasions! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Word of God is the main way that God communicates with you, and the wisdom contained within its pages is applicable to any situation you face today.

09.24.2025 - 03 - The Influence of the Holy Spirit Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When Adam and Eve fell into sin, the trajectory of the human race was changed forever. We were created to worship and bring glory to God, but we became enslaved by our sin. But Pastor Jeff brings us a message of hope today, because the Holy Spirit wants to remake us into the people we were made to be! The process of renewal that God completes in us restores us to our original purpose and allows us to enter into the presence of God, free from shame, because our sins have been erased!

09.23.2025 - 02 - The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Did you know that there are professional coffee tasters? These people have developed their palates over years of training to be able to detect flavor notes across different beans from different regions of the world, and to be able to taste defects that will affect the final product. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you about how the Holy Spirit gives you the gift of discernment so that you can tell what is part of God’s Will for your life, but it takes time spent in the Word to develop and nurture that gift.

09.22.2025 - 02 - The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever watched Extreme Makeover? In this show, a crew of interior designers and contractors shows up at a family’s home, and within the span of a few days, does a complete remodel to give the family the home of their dreams. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that that’s exactly what the Holy Spirit does inside of you! Before knowing Jesus, your heart was full of sin, and you were led by sinful desires. But when the Holy Spirit inhabits your heart, He remakes you into a brand-new creature!

09.21.2025 - 04 - The Benefits of Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever experienced a car breakdown, only for a mechanic to pull up behind you and help you get your car back on the road? It can seem like pure coincidence that the timing lined up, but you should also consider that it was the result of divine intervention! Pastor Jeff shows you today how not every interaction is an accident, and your testimony and experience with the storms of life may be exactly what someone needs to hear in order to further their own walk with God.

09.20.2025 - 04 - The Benefits of Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

What happens when you water and care for a houseplant? Well, it will grow and flourish into something much more beautiful than you had when you started. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when you take the time to nurture and develop your faith, God will make it grow into something much bigger and greater than you could have imagined! It began as a tiny seed when you first accepted Jesus into your heart, and over time, it will become stronger and more resilient against the world’s storms.

09.19.2025 - 01 - The Abuse of the Holy Spirit Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

We humans are used to things working when we want them to. Our cars start up at the push of a button, we have smart devices that can hold libraries of knowledge in a tiny footprint, and we can order nearly any product imaginable to our doorstep with free shipping. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the Holy Spirit isn’t a mindless tool at our disposal. He is a person who serves as a guide and a counselor for our lives. We can’t tell Him what to do or when to do it. He works on His own schedule.

09.18.2025 - 01 - The Abuse of the Holy Spirit Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you sign over the title to a piece of property, that means you are giving up ownership to someone else! Whether it’s a car, a home, or some other property, you surrender your rights to that property the moment you sign that title over. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that by accepting Jesus’ gift of salvation, you have signed your life over to Him. But Jesus doesn’t want to control your actions. He gives you the power of the Holy Spirit so that you can better serve Him by your own free will!

09.17.2025 - 05 - Simon: An Unexpected Cross Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The God we serve is a master at drawing many positive consequences from one action. In the Bible, we see how the family of Simon of Cyrene came to follow Jesus, beginning with Simon’s labor of carrying the cross of Jesus. What might have seemed like an act of random chance at the time set events in motion that led to an entire family following Jesus! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we could be the catalyst that God uses to transform not just our lives, but the lives of those around us.

09.16.2025 - 05 - Simon: An Unexpected Cross Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, our entire human race became disconnected from the purpose that God had for us. We were no longer in His presence, and we were left to our own devices in this world that was plunged into darkness. But Pastor Jeff teaches us today that by the power of Jesus, we can be restored to that original design for our lives! All we need to do is approach the cross of Jesus and place our burdens at his feet, so that we can be free to walk with Him.

09.15.2025 - 04 - A Little Girl Resurrected Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The world is full of people in fear. They don’t even know what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less what is going to happen to them when they die. Countless spiritual gurus, influencers, and false teachers have stepped in to provide answers to those questions. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Jesus is the only one who can truly offer you life after death. Just like when He raised the little girl from the dead, Jesus will one day return to resurrect everyone who has called on His name!

09.14.2025 - 03 - Don’t Fellowship With Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you make a small adjustment to the direction of your life in the present, it can have a great impact on your future. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the time you spend now in the presence of Jesus, instead of dwelling on your challenges, will help you change your attitude regarding your life. If you trust in Jesus to get you through the difficult times you are facing, you will be better prepared to endure those challenges. Are you going to outlast the storm, or will you let the storm outlast you?

09.13.2025 - 03 - Don’t Fellowship With Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

You don’t become a Christian by following a bunch of religious doctrine and reading the Bible. While these are useful for spiritual growth, the thing that makes you a child of God is having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Living a Christian life without Christ is like getting behind the wheel of a car without an engine. You can do all the right things to make the car move, but the most important piece that makes everything work is missing. Do you know Christ, or do you just know of Him?

09.12.2025 - 04 - A Little Girl Resurrected Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever seen a movie where the main character is sneaking into a heavily guarded facility? Those security guards are convinced they have the place on lockdown, but there is a blind spot that allows the hero to slip in and accomplish their mission. Well, Pastor Jeff isn’t telling you that Jesus is an action movie star. But what He does do is answer prayers in ways you don’t expect. Jairus (JYE-russ) implored Jesus to heal his daughter, not knowing that death would not be the end of her story.

09.11.2025 - 03 - The Woman With An Issue Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Trying to use human words to describe God’s love is a losing battle. His love is like an unstoppable force, a rush of wind and water that knocks down everything in its path. And Pastor Jeff teaches us today that when we press in towards the love of God, that unstoppable force comes barreling towards us, not to smash into us and destroy us, but to surround us and engulf us in His healing presence. The blood of Jesus is what gives us access to that rushing torrent of unstoppable love.

09.10.2025 - 03 - The Woman With An Issue Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It doesn’t take very long to find something wrong with the world. One of the main drawbacks of this connected age is that we are instantly aware of the evil deeds going on in the far reaches of the planet, and we can feel powerless to do anything about it. But Pastor Jeff reminds us that Jesus came to this world knowing full well what was going on in those times, but also what would be going on today. He sees all of the suffering of the human race, and extends mercy to all who will call on His name.

09.09.2025 - 02 - The Gadarene Demoniac Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Some things in this world just can’t coexist. Fire can destroy forests, water can drown living things, and heavy winds can wreak havoc on anything that stands in its path. But nothing falls apart as quickly as demonic oppression when the person being oppressed meets Jesus! Pastor Jeff shows us today how the demon-possessed man of Gadara has his life completely transformed after just a few moments with Jesus. The word of God makes all things new, and it restores what the enemy destroyed.

09.08.2025 - 02 - The Gadarene Demoniac Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The enemy has one goal for your life, and that is to destroy everything that God has given you, and fill you with misery and bitterness. And without Jesus, that is exactly where our lives would be headed. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that because we have Jesus, we can live a life in freedom! We have been bought and paid for, redeemed from an eternity of isolation from God by the blood of Jesus, and the enemy has no hold over our souls. We have been set free from the bonds of sin forever!

09.07.2025 - 02 - God’s Help In Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Walking in the way of Jesus is a very difficult thing to do. So many aspects of living a life that is pleasing to Christ involve putting aside your human nature and human reactions, and instead choosing a different path. And Pastor Jeff teaches today that you just don’t have the strength on your own to live that kind of life consistently. Instead, rely on the sources of strength that God has provided for you. Spend time in God’s word, seek the Lord in prayer, and build relationships with other believers.

09.06.2025 - 02 - God’s Help In Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 06 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

God allowed the enemy to do a number of terrible things to Job, and yet Job remained faithful to God. Despite losing his entire family, and all of his possessions, Job refused to curse the God that had given him everything in the first place. And Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when Job came through the other side of the storm, God blessed him even more than he had been before. When the Lord allows you to face a storm in life, He will be there waiting to lift you up and make the sun shine on you.

09.05.2025 - 01 - The Woman at the Well Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Can you imagine if people weren’t able to change because of their past mistakes? People like the Apostle Paul, who persecuted Christians, or John Newton, the author of the hymn “Amazing Grace”, made more of an impact after repenting of their sins and following Jesus than they had while following the ways of the world. Just like with the Prodigal Son, God is ready with open arms to welcome you home. All you need to do is repent of your sin, and drink from the living water that Jesus provides.

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Something that you learn as you step into adulthood is that life is a lot like juggling. You are constantly having to catch and throw balls up in the air as you keep your different physical needs met. But the juggling doesn’t get easier over time, instead, you usually end up with more balls than before! But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Jesus offers you a drink of living water, a fountain that won’t necessarily satisfy your physical needs, but it will nourish your soul for the long term, for all eternity!

09.03.2025 - 13 - Being Bold Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Does it ever confuse you when you hear people say that God is a jealous God? After all, isn’t jealousy supposed to be a sin? Well, the Bible doesn’t say that God is jealous because He is evil or controlling. Instead, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that God doesn’t easily let go of things that belong to Him, and that includes you and me. God won’t stop us from leaving His presence if that’s what we truly want, but He isn’t going to bend over and allow us to be led astray if we truly belong to Him.

09.02.2025 - 13 - Being Bold Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

God’s will for your life is like a suspenseful novel. You may have already read the last page to see how the story ends, but the mystery that remains is how the story unfolds to reach that ending. But Pastor Jeff wants you to know today that when you ask God for something in prayer, He will grant it to you as long as it is part of His will for your life. You may not know at the time how He will make it all work out, but you can have faith that He has a plan for you in His Kingdom, even if you can’t see it yet.

09.01.2025 - 12 - The Witness Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you come to meet Jesus, you begin to change into a new creation from the inside out! No longer are you bound by the curse of sin in your life, that leaves you feeling empty and wanting inside. Instead, the Holy Spirit fills in the cracks in your life that you’ve been trying to repair for so long, and fills you with the hope of eternal life that has been made available to you! Accepting Jesus into your life is just the first step in a lifelong transformation process that makes you more and more like Him.

08.31.2025 - 01 - There’s a Message In Your Storm Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Many people are tempted to give up on a project after it fails. How many unfinished hot rods are sitting in people’s garages, unfinished after a setback? But the key is to not give up just because of a setback. And God knows better than anyone else that growth is a process. When you buckle under the pressure of your storms, don’t worry that God is going to give up on you. In fact, He will come alongside you and help you rebuild what was broken. Pastor Jeff wants you to know that God is on your side.

08.30.2025 - 01 - There’s a Message In Your Storm Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When car manufacturers are designing new models, they need to run safety tests to ensure that their vehicles will protect passengers in the event of a crash. And just like those vehicles, your own life will be subject to tests and trials to refine and develop your faith. Pastor Jeff reminds you today of the parable of the house built on the solid rock, and how having that foundation in Christ will keep you from being blown away by the storms of life. Resisting those storms will help you get stronger.

08.29.2025 - 12 - The Witness Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

These days, it’s so easy to fake a message from someone! The technology exists to recreate someone’s voice or appearance, and make them say or do whatever you want! It’s more important than ever to be sure that you are receiving information from authentic sources. But Pastor Jeff teaches you that the ultimate seal of approval of the truth comes from the Holy Spirit. He convicts the hearts of those hearing the Gospel, and gives discernment to those who quiet themselves to listen to His voice.

08.28.2025 - 11 - Faith That Overcomes Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The forces of the devil are always trying to get in your way, trying to ruin your life just because you are a follower of Jesus! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the devil has been given a level of control over this world and that he uses every resource available to him to create stumbling blocks and pitfalls for the community of believers worldwide. But the power that the Holy Spirit gives can help you overcome those roadblocks and live a fulfilling life in spite of the enemy’s attacks against you!

08.27.2025 - 11 - Faith That Overcomes Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In the legal system, laws need to be very specifically written out to avoid problems with their interpretation. Loopholes can be taken advantage of to avoid paying taxes, avoid providing a safe workplace, or even to avoid food safety standards. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that God’s system of laws and regulations can be wrapped into one commandment: to love others as God loves you. If you apply that commandment to your entire life, He will bless your life in ways you couldn’t dream of!

08.26.2025 - 10 - Throwing Out Fear Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

How often do you hear the phrase, “kill two birds with one stone”? It means that one action can solve multiple problems at once. And God is someone who excels at multitasking! His plans for humanity are like a giant tapestry, with threads weaving and crossing over each other in unexpected ways, but Pastor Jeff teaches you that the overall goal of God’s plan is to bring glory to His name! So even the blessings that God has given you in this life serve a bringer purpose, and that is to glorify the Lord!

08.25.2025 - 10 - Throwing Out Fear Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you have a well-stocked toolbox, you are ready to handle any kind of problem you may have around the house. The right tool can be the difference between a quick fix and an expensive call to a handyman or repair person. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Holy Spirit provides the toolbox that every believer needs to follow Jesus in this broken world. Your exact set of tools may differ from everyone else’s; that’s because God has a unique plan for your life that isn’t exactly like everyone else’s.

08.24.2025 - 10 - Disarming the Giant of Depression Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Jesus set a high bar for Christians when he was confronted with the failure of His disciples to stay awake with Him in the garden of Gethsemane. He could have brought down righteous anger, knowing that there was horrible suffering coming His way, but instead, Jesus prayed for His friends. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you should always be in prayer, especially in seasons of depression. The enemy may try and tear you down, but the Lord is the one who will bring healing to your mind.

08.23.2025 - 10 - Disarming the Giant of Depression Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When a boat starts taking on water, the crew has to spring into action to bail the water out of the boat, if they want to have any chance of saving the boat from sinking. And that’s exactly what you have to do if you want to prevent your mind from sinking into the pit of depression. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that negative thoughts can accelerate your descent into depression, so the best thing you can do is capture those negative thoughts before they begin to make you sink.

08.22.2025 - 09 - God’s Love Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Scientists estimate that only 20% of the world’s oceans have been explored. That means that there are millions of square miles of territory that are a complete mystery to human understanding! But the nature of God is a far greater mystery that mankind will never be able to truly comprehend. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that God does not have human characteristics, but what we can understand is that God’s love for the human race is so great that He sent His Son to save us from our sins!

08.21.2025 - 09 - God’s Love Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Is there a celebrity that you know a lot about? Maybe it’s an athlete whose career you’ve watched for years. Maybe it’s your favorite movie star, or the lead singer of your favorite band, and you know some obscure detail about their life! But you don’t really know that person; you just know about them. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that just because you know what God’s Word says doesn’t mean you truly know Him. If you don’t have the love of God in your heart, it’s like you’ve never known Him at all.

08.20.2025 - 08 - Testing the Spirits Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

False teachers don’t have to use fancy language to lead people astray! Instead, many of those false teachers use words that are easy to understand, luring people into a false sense of security. Pastor Jeff warns you that your greatest enemy isn’t going to present himself with red horns and a pitchfork. Instead, you will be tempted by those who claim to have a different road to Heaven, one that is easier than following the way of Jesus. But those teachers are liars! Jesus is the only way to the Father.

08.19.2025 - 08 - Testing the Spirits Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The devil is so dangerous to humanity because he’s an excellent liar! Not only is he able to make the path of destruction seem appealing to mankind, but he is also able to pinpoint specific areas of temptation to deceive people on an individual level. But Pastor Jeff reminds you to hold the devil’s false promises accountable to the words of God’s Word! If God’s Word represents absolute truth, the devil is the complete opposite of that. He sits on a throne of lies, and his power fades away in the light of the Word.

08.18.2025 - 07 - Our Focus Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

God doesn’t usually answer your prayer on the first time! When He knocked down the walls of Jericho, He made the Israelites march around the city’s walls for seven days! Pastor Jeff encourages you with today’s message that praying for something over and over again isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of great faith! It means that even though God hasn’t answered you just yet, you still believe that He has the power to grant your request! He is just waiting for the right time to say “yes”.

08.17.2025 - 09 - Disarming the Giant of Lust Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Sin is like an old man who’s lived in the same home his entire life. He never wants to leave it behind, and it may take a lot of effort to get him to completely leave, even if it’s what’s best for everyone involved. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that sin can be a stubborn thing to get rid of, but the power of Jesus can purge it from your life one piece at a time. But He won’t do the work unless you surrender those issues of sin to Him. You need to do the work of recognizing the sin issues within yourself.

08.16.2025 - 09 - Disarming the Giant of Lust Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Is it a bad thing for you to be hungry? When you break it down, hunger is just your body communicating a desire to eat food. Needing to eat is not a bad thing, but if you commit sin while obtaining the needed food, that becomes a problem. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to be ashamed of being hungry or of having needs and desires. The problem is when you turn to sinful behavior to meet the needs of the flesh. Trust in the Lord to be your provider, and let Him show you what He can do.

08.15.2025 - 07 - Our Focus Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Something that many home cooks tend to overlook in their kitchens is having a working fire extinguisher. It’s much better to have one and never need it than to need one and not have it! That fire extinguisher can put out a dangerous fire before it spreads and destroys your entire home. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when you begin to doubt your way in life, all you need to do is think back to the power of the blood of Jesus in your life! God has brought you this far, and He won’t let you down now.

08.14.2025 - 06 - Obedience Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In our fallen human nature, we are prone to behaviors such as jealousy. We crave possessions that others have, instead of being grateful for what we have already been given. Pastor Jeff warns us today that jealousy can turn into hatred, and hatred can lead to some dark and irreversible sins! When we have hatred towards our brother or sister, Jesus says we have committed murder in our hearts. The best way to avoid falling into this dark sin is to take control of jealousy and envy in our lives.

08.13.2025 - 06 - Obedience Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In the book of Acts, we see that followers of Jesus are empowered with the Holy Spirit to do good work in this world. But the Holy Spirit also serves the role of a guard on a watchtower. When you begin to allow sin into your life, the Holy Spirit rings the alarm within your soul! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that that conviction doesn’t go away once you have truly accepted Jesus, so even those who stray from Jesus still have someone on their side, reminding them of where they belong.

08.12.2025 - 05 - Purity Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When we want to make changes in our lives, we usually have to start by building habits that make us a better reflection of the person we want to be. We’re starting from the outside and working our way into the core of our being. But salvation flips that formula on its head! Pastor Jeff teaches us today that when we accept Jesus into our lives, the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts and starts changing us from the inside out! We are made into new creations because of the power of Christ within us.

08.11.2025 - 05 - Purity Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Following Jesus is a lot like running a marathon. See, there will be thousands, or maybe even millions of times throughout your life where you’re faced with the opportunity to choose to live righteously, or to give in to sin. You won’t make the right choice every single time. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the only way that people who have been saved fall back into a life of sin is if they consciously choose a life of sin over a life of righteousness. It’s not something you fall back into by mistake.

08.10.2025 - 08 - Disarming the Giant of Intimidation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

So what do you do when it seems like the enemy has won? When things don’t work out the way you think they will? Pastor Jeff shows you how sometimes God will allow the enemy small victories, while giving you greater opportunities to serve Him in the process. The apostle Paul could have put his head between his legs and endured prison sentences, but instead he put his time to good use and wrote the letters that would become the Epistles: some of the most important New Testament books.

08.09.2025 - 08 - Disarming the Giant of Intimidation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you hear the enemy trying to talk you down from doing something? Does he try and make you think that you’re doomed to fail, or that God has abandoned you? Well, Pastor Jeff shows you today how Nehemiah faced similar challenges when rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. In order to complete the task that the Lord had given him, Nehemiah had to fend off both verbal and physical threats and trust in God to be his protector and Savior. Trust in the Lord, and He will see it all through.

08.08.2025 - 04 - Get Real Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Are you the kind of person that puts on a radio program or a podcast to just listen passively? Well, Pastor Jeff wants you to really pay attention to today’s message. Because there are so many people that have claimed to follow Jesus, but because of apathy, or the temptations of the world, they let their passion for Jesus fade away, and they stop following Him. But Pastor Jeff desires for you to build a solid foundation in God’s Word, so that when the way gets tough, you can return to the presence of the Savior.

08.07.2025 - 04 - Get Real Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you remember where you were when you accepted Jesus into your heart? When you said those words and believed in your heart that Jesus is Lord, a change took place within you! The Lord poured His Holy Spirit into your heart and changed you from the inside out forever. Pastor Jeff wants you to understand that there is a difference between saying that you’re a believer in Christ and experiencing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit that works within you, changing you from the inside out.

08.06.2025 - 03 - To the Children, Fathers, and Young Men Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Satan and his demonic forces aren’t just a fairy tale to scare us into good behavior; they represent a real enemy in the spiritual realm! But the battleground that we are fighting on isn’t in public spaces, or even in the material world at all. Instead, Pastor Jeff teaches us that the battles we fight are in the spiritual world and in the strongholds that the enemy has in today’s society. Don’t be afraid, because no matter what comes against you, remember that you have the power of Jesus on your side!

08.05.2025 - 03 - To the Children, Fathers, and Young Men Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

For someone who has been reading Scripture for a long time, it can become a passive habit to get into God’s Word. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to take an active approach as you dive into the Word in your daily devotions! You may have been reading the same passages over and over for years, but it’s in those times when you think you have learned everything you can that the Lord speaks to you. He can breathe new life into the words that you’ve grown accustomed to over the years.

08.04.2025 - 02 - Loving Your Brother – In the Light or in the Dark Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Did you know that the first thing you do in the morning has a big impact on the rest of your day? If the first thing you do is grab your phone and check the news, you’ll immediately fill your mind with thoughts of what is going wrong in the world. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that if you make the effort to make time with God a central part of your day, you will be more and more blessed by the Lord. Spending time with your heavenly Father should be as natural to you as eating your first meal of the day.

08.03.2025 - 07 - Disarming the Giant of Doubt Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Don’t let doubt become an obstacle that hinders your relationship with God! Instead, Pastor Jeff tells you today that it should just be a step on the journey, a small part of a bigger story of faith. When you are faced with doubt, the Bible tells you that you should confess it to Jesus and place them at His feet. Allow Him to calm your fears and anxieties, and live in the freedom that His love provides. God will always be there for you, so long as you don’t give up on His love for you.

08.02.2025 - 07 - Disarming the Giant of Doubt Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Every believer is going to doubt God at some point. There will be times where your faith in Him wavers, even just for a moment. That isn’t sinful behavior, and God isn’t going to look poorly on you because of it. But Pastor Jeff warns you to not confuse doubt and unbelief, because unbelief is the thing that can begin to rot away at your relationship with God. You don’t sin when you doubt God’s goodness or doubt God’s word. You sin when you hear God’s word proclaimed and reject it completely.

08.01.2025 - 02 - Loving Your Brother – In the Light or in the Dark Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you were accused of a crime and had to go to court right now to be put on trial, would you defend yourself? Or would you seek after someone to represent you, to speak up on your behalf? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when you accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness, He becomes the advocate that intervenes for you! While your sins would condemn you to an eternity without God, Jesus has taken the penalty of all of your sin so that you can live a life free of guilt, and be in the presence of God forever!

07.31.2025 - 01 - The Divinity of Jesus – Fellowship with God Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The great thing about Jesus’ gift of salvation is that it isn’t a one-time purge of your sin record! In fact, Jesus’ forgiveness applies to all the sins of your past, your present, and even your future! But there is a caveat to this truth. While your sins are covered and forgiven by the blood of Jesus, you still have a mandate to turn away from your sin, and to seek a life of righteousness. Pastor Jeff warns you not to be complacent in sin, but to instead repent from your sin and find a new life as you follow Jesus.

07.30.2025 - 01 - The Divinity of Jesus – Fellowship with God Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Any structure that exists in the world today is only as strong as its foundation. Whether it’s a building with a physical foundation, or an organization or institution with a set of values as its foundation, having a weak foundation can spell disaster for the long-term health of the structure. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation that the Christian faith is built on. The disciples even doubted the Resurrection at first, but when they laid eyes on Jesus, they truly believed.

07.29.2025 - 04 - Snakes in the Sanctuary Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There is a brand of Christianity in modern culture that is all about the experience. Big conferences, celebrity speakers, and trendy outfits. And while there may be sound teaching spread at these events, it can be hard to tell if that is the focus of the events. Pastor Jeff reminds you to always place God at the center of your worship. People need spiritual nourishment to grow in their faith. They need the solid food of God’s Word, not the big flashy experiences that create shallow faith.

07.28.2025 - 04 - Snakes in the Sanctuary Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Whether we like it or not, there is a market for false prophets in Christian culture. People desire a new revelation from God, and they’re willing to look past some major red flags if they like the prophecy they are hearing. Pastor Jeff warns us in today’s message to be on the lookout for these false prophets, but he also reminds us that the best way to discern false teaching is to compare it with Scripture! God doesn’t contradict Himself, and His prophets won’t contradict His Word either.

07.27.2025 - 06 - Disarming the Giant of Temptation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

God did not promise that you would have an easy path through life. Scripture is actually full of examples of people who follow God with their whole hearts, still being faced with trials, because that’s just the reality of how the world works. But Pastor Jeff isn’t just giving you bad news today; he wants to remind you that God will always give you a way to endure the temptations that you face in this life! It may be difficult to see, and you may have to listen for His voice, but the Lord always will provide a way out.

07.26.2025 - 06 - Disarming the Giant of Temptation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Temptation is all about repeating patterns of sin, and Satan is very good at exploiting your patterns of behavior. That’s why Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount that if something is causing you to sin, you should cut it out of your life. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that your own human strength is limited, and that if you are regularly putting yourself in situations where you are easily tempted, you may not always be able to resist the devil. You need to learn to give temptation a wide berth.

07.25.2025 - 03 - Witchcraft and Other Occult Practices Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are people out there who just want to find a hidden meaning in something. A common version of this phenomenon is people who believe in the importance of numbers and how certain patterns of numbers carry spiritual or supernatural meaning. But Pastor Jeff wants you to realize that God isn’t cryptic like that. If He is going to tell you something, it won’t be in patterns that only certain people with supernatural senses can see. He tells you what you need to hear, straight from His Word!

07.24.2025 - 03 - Witchcraft and Other Occult Practices By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you think about the way the devil is portrayed in human culture, there’s almost always a deal involved. There are many fictional stories of people signing their souls over to the devil in exchange for power, favor, or even good health. And while those stories may be fictional, Pastor Jeff reminds you that the temptation is real, all the same. The occult wants you to think that you can gain access to power by following their teachings, but what you’re really doing is opening your heart to demonic influence.

07.23.2025 - 02 - Cults Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

One of the ways people try to conflate Christianity with Islam is by claiming that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Muslims are reading a different sacred text! The Quran is not the Bible, and vice versa. So, even though both groups claim to be worshipping the same God, only one can be the true and inspired Word of God. You can’t serve Jehovah and Allah; you will one day be asked who you serve, and you will be held accountable for your choice.

07.22.2025 - 02 - Cults Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If people are good at being one thing, it’s being stubborn! How many times have you received correction from someone, and how many times has your first reaction to that correction been to get defensive, or to dismiss the criticism completely? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that a cult member may not be able to escape the deception on their own. You need to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to get through to someone who is too stubborn to see how trapped in lies they have become.

07.21.2025 - 01 - The Culting of America Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When we talk about cults, it can be easy to think of their members either as people who are extremely gullible or even as evil individuals seeking to deceive curious souls. But Pastor Jeff wants us to remember one important thing about people involved in cults: they are all beloved children of God! We shouldn’t seek the destruction of those caught in cults; instead, we should be interceding for them in prayer, asking for freedom from the deception they have become trapped in.

07.20.2025 - 05 - Disarming the Giant of Condemnation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Understanding that you are not under the condemnation of sin doesn’t give you a blank check to keep living however you want. Because if you fall back into a life of sin and disregard your need for forgiveness, the influence of sin can creep back into your life. Make no mistake, without God’s influence in your life, sin will destroy you. Pastor Jeff warns you today not to let complacency push you back into a sinful lifestyle, but allow yourself to be transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit in you.

07.19.2025 - 05 - Disarming the Giant of Condemnation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

How do you know if you’ve been filled with the Holy Spirit? Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you will recognize the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life when you begin to be convicted regarding the sin in the world around you. Unfortunately, the world is a dark place, and the corrupting influence of sin is everywhere you look. But when you are guided by the Holy Spirit, you’ll begin to see the presence of sinful activity and sinful desires in your own life, and the lives of those around you.

You probably know someone who posts on social media. If they see something they like, they want to share it with everyone they know. But something to keep in mind is that discernment isn’t built into these social media algorithms. In fact, Pastor Jeff warns you today that false teachings and occult thinking can sneak up on you if you’re not careful. In order to defend yourself against the enemy’s attacks, you need to be well-read in Scripture and not believe everything you see on your feed.

07.17.2025 - 03 - Your Table is Ready! Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In life, a surplus isn’t always a good thing. In the business world, having something left over may mean that there was potential growth left on the table, or potential leads not followed up on. Pastor Jeff reminds you that the overflow that God gives you functions in a similar way! When you’re given more blessings than you can handle, you’re meant to share those with those around you. If you are selfish or lazy with the overflow you have received, those blessings may be completely wasted.

07.16.2025 - 03 - Your Table is Ready! Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you ever feel like this life is a slog with no end in sight? Do you ever start to wonder if this will ever be worth it? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that not only is the Lord a good shepherd who nourishes and sustains you, but He is leading you toward something better! When the road gets tough ahead, Pastor Jeff wants you to keep your eye on the prize. Jesus has set a table for you, a great feast of celebration for all those who call on His name to be saved. There is a seat for you at that very table!

07.15.2025 - 02 - The Shepherd of Your Darkest Valley Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

We humans suffer from a fallen nature. We were given free will by a perfect God, and every single one of us has chosen the path of sin at some point in our lives. Someone can't live a whole life without giving in to sin at some point. So, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the miracle of the Gospel is that God saw our need and gave us a way to be redeemed. By placing our sins on the shoulders of Jesus as He went to the cross, you and I have the ability to be reconciled to the Father.

07.14.2025 - 02 - The Shepherd of Your Darkest Valley Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Precious metals are refined in fire. It’s in the intense heat of the furnace that the impurities in the metal rise to the top, resulting in a purer material. And just like the most precious of gold, you and I need to endure periods of intense heat, so that the impurities in our own lives can be burned away. Pastor Jeff reminds us that we are never alone when we go through these times of refinement. God is by our side, and He will hold our hands every step of the way. He is our good and loving Father.

07.13.2025 - 04 - Disarming the Giant of Anger Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The laws of nature state that things cannot go from disordered to ordered without an outside influence. Buildings don’t form on their own without builders, trees don’t grow without energy from the sun, and children don’t grow without food from their caregivers. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that relationships aren’t strengthened without forgiveness. You won’t be able to completely avoid conflict in your relationships, but a spirit of forgiveness can help you reverse the damage done over time.

07.12.2025 - 04 - Disarming the Giant of Anger Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

A common phrase that people use to describe someone lashing out is anger is to say, “Well, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back”. The truth of the matter is that every human has a limit to how much they can endure before buckling under the pressure. But what Pastor Jeff teaches you today is that you should have a strong will and not allow yourself to easily give in to anger, because being quick to anger can often result in you alienating those around you, pushing them away permanently.

07.11.2025 - 01 - My Provider, Guide, and Restorer Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

No matter how you live your life, no matter how much money or influence you have, there are only two destinations for your soul after death: one in the presence of God forever, or one where you are separated from His love forever. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there’s no third option, and that many people will be deceived and fall short of spending eternity in Heaven. You reach Heaven by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and by making the choice to take the narrow and difficult road through life.

07.10.2025 -01 - My Provider, Guide, and Restorer Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

One of the important things you learn growing up is to learn how to separate your wants from your needs. Your wants may include things like a new car, the latest smartphone, or a big house in a fancy neighborhood. But how many of those things are really things you need? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the Lord is a good shepherd and a generous provider. While His provision may not always cover all of your wants, He will help you meet your needs. God knows what you need and when you will need it.

07.09.2025 - 04 - Making the Best of a Bad Decision Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Peter could have simply given up and abandoned Jesus after denying him three times! He must have felt so much guilt after acting like he never knew the man who called him out of his fishing boat. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that not only did Jesus restore Peter, He also gave him the chance to do what He didn’t do before! When you give your mistakes and your bad decisions to the Lord, He will give you new opportunities to serve Him, new chances to show your allegiance to the Kingdom of God.

07.08.2025 - 04 - Making the Best of a Bad Decision Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you were a boxer and you had trained day in and day out to get ready for a big championship fight, would you give up the first time you got knocked down? Of course not! You would find that inner strength to get back up and continue the fight. And Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when you fail and disappoint God, your first reaction shouldn’t be to give up. Instead, ask the Lord for the strength to get back up and try again, because you learn and grow stronger when you embrace your failure.

07.07.2025 - 03 - Damaging Decisions Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In regions with dry climates, wildfires and bushfires are very real dangers. All it takes is one spark, one improperly extinguished campfire, or one lightning strike to ignite a firestorm that can consume thousands of acres, do millions of dollars in property damage, and uproot thousands of lives. Pastor Jeff wants you to realize that if you tag along in someone’s jealousy and gossip, you may be spreading that kind of wildfire. Instead, choose to love your brother and sister by helping them end the cycle of gossip.

07.06.2025 - 03 - The Giant of Offense Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Even among the body of Christ, there can be instances of conflict or bitterness that are too great to be resolved via human intervention. But something even greater than human intervention is divine intervention! Pastor Jeff encourages you today that if you have a brother or sister who has offended you and refuses to reconcile, you can bring that burden to the Lord! Just like you’ve learned to cast your anxieties on Him, you must also learn to take your grudges and leave them at His feet.

07.05.2025 - 03 - The Giant of Offense Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

You’re never going to find a perfect church! For better or for worse, every church is made up of human beings. And even though every person is made in the image of God, the curse of sin has marred the Lord’s original design for the human race. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to continue going to church despite the obstacles that may be in your way. As he says, the Church isn’t just meant for spiritually mature people. It’s a place for people to grow as they begin to follow the way of Christ.

07.04.2025 - Damaging Decisions Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When we get offended, we want it to be everyone’s problem. Saul’s dilemma when David comes into the picture is one that all of us deal with at one point or another. When someone seems to be doing better than us in life, our first instinct is to be jealous of their success, and make other people defend us! Pastor Jeff reminds us today to be humble and not let ourselves fall into sin when we become jealous of someone. If we remember who God says we are, we can overcome those jealous feelings.

07.03.2025 - 02 - Decisions Determine Your Destiny Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you want to run a marathon, you can’t just decide to run a marathon if you haven’t been training in some way. You need to start small and work your way up to the big race. And just like a runner gaining strength and endurance, Pastor Jeff teaches you that living a holy life requires you to start small and work your way up until you’re serving God with your whole being. By starting small now, it will be easier to make those decisions that have a greater Kingdom impact down the road.

07.02.2025 - 02 - Decisions Determine Your Destiny Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Imagine your life as a tower of building blocks. Every new block you lay down is dependent on the blocks beneath it for stability and support. So if you want to live a long and fulfilling life, you need to make as many wise decisions as possible! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the most important decision you can make is the one to serve God, but it is one that you must make on a daily basis, even multiple times per day. Choosing to serve the Lord every day will leave you with a rock-solid foundation.

07.01.2025 - 01 - The King of All Decisions Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you talk to anyone who has successfully climbed Mount Everest, you’ll hear them describe how difficult the journey was. Many people have attempted the climb but failed to reach the summit. But those who do reach that summit are rewarded with the knowledge that they have reached the highest peak on the planet! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that while following the narrow road is the more difficult path to take through life, it is the only one that has the reward of Heaven at the end of your journey!

06.30.2025 - The King of All Decisions Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you believe that what the Bible says about the afterlife is true, wouldn’t it be an obvious choice when it comes to how you want to spend eternity? After all, heaven seems like a much more enticing place to spend eternity than the alternative! But in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that you still need to make a choice. You are still given the option of how you want to live your life, because God isn’t going to force you to do something you don’t want to do. What path will you choose?

06.29.2025 - 02 - Disarming Anxiety Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are some burdens that are simply too heavy for you to carry on your own. Unfortunately, since humanity lives in a world rife with sin and suffering, it is all too common for people to carry burdens greater than what they can bear. However, God is a merciful God. He will take whatever burdens you lay on Him and give you rest. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to cast every burden and anxiety at the feet of the cross, and leave them there. Don’t take them back with you into your normal life.

06.28.2025 - 02 - Disarming Anxiety Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you seen how a group of fans react when their favorite film franchise releases a trailer for the next entry in the series? Even just a title and release date can cause cheers of joy and excitement. Well, shouldn’t Christians be just as excited to see God working in their lives? Pastor Jeff encourages you today to have a childlike faith, one that looks at the works of God with anticipation and excitement. The Lord never does things exactly the same way twice, and you’ll never know what to expect!

06.27.2025 - 16 -Paul’s Final Thoughts 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In ancient times, information was a valuable resource. Messengers were often instructed to guard messages with their lives, and some even resorted to clever methods to conceal the true contents of the messages they were carrying. As followers of Jesus, you and I are carrying messages that aren’t secret to anyone. But Pastor Jeff reminds us to hold that message, the hope of the Gospel, near and dear to our hearts, as precious cargo. You need to be a faithful steward of the Good News!

06.26.2025 - 16 - Paul’s Final Thoughts Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Sometimes life feels like drinking from a fire hose. You get immediately overwhelmed as soon as you try to process everything that is going on around you. Some of this is just because of the chaos of this world, but sometimes, that chaos can be a targeted attack from Satan. Pastor Jeff reminds you that you are a representative of Jesus wherever you go, and you never know when you may be called on to be the light of Jesus to someone who has never had a relationship with Him.

06.25.2025 - 15 - Get Dressed in the Armor Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

People have always liked to be prepared for the worst. Some spend their entire lives building stockpiles of supplies so that they can be prepared to endure all sorts of disasters. But when you put on the shoes of the Gospel, you aren’t preparing for disaster. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that having those shoes on and ready to go at all times means that you are ready to speak the truth of Jesus to someone who needs it. When you are prepared for anything, there’s no limit to what God can do through you.

06.24.2025 - 15 - Get Dressed in the Armor Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When a city is under siege, it is difficult for supplies and information to get in and out of the city. The longest siege in recorded history lasted 26 years! Can you imagine being blockaded by the enemy for that long? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you to never give up when it comes to intercessions for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes, all you need is to be persistent. You never know when the moment will be right for your prayers to break through the enemy’s blockade!

06.23.2025 - 14 - More On Submission Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

No matter what you do for work, there will be days when you struggle to find the meaning in your labor. You start to think that there’s no way that your work is making an impact for the Kingdom of God. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today by reminding you that being a faithful and good worker is the very action that brings glory to God! Submitting to your employer or your client shows humility, and that humility draws attention to the power of Christ that is within you.

06.22.2025 - 01 - Breaking Discouragement’s Grip Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you keep a journal detailing how God has been working in your life, you’ll have a written account of God’s faithfulness to you! Whenever you get down and feel like help isn’t coming, Pastor Jeff reminds you today to look at God’s faithfulness like a history book: it can prevent you from making the same mistakes you have made before, but it can also give you a roadmap for how to act in the future. And once you’ve faced a trial once, you can be ready to face an even tougher challenge in the future.

06.21.2025 - 01 - Breaking Discouragement’s Grip Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The easiest way to fall into discouragement is to get tunnel vision. You get so caught up in the struggles you’re facing at the moment that you can’t turn around and see how far God has brought you. That’s exactly what the laborers were doing in Nehemiah chapter 4. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that when you take your blinders off and take the time to see how far you’ve come, you’ll see how God has been intervening on your behalf this whole time. He’ll help you see the task through to the end.

06.20.2025 - 14 - More On Submission Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Is there a leader in life you disagree with? Whether it’s a boss at work who irritates you or a political leader whom you don’t like, everyone wrestles with honoring people who have been placed in authority over them. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Scripture’s guidance is to submit and honor your authority figures. You may not agree with all of their decisions or the way they choose to operate, but you are being obedient to God by honoring the authority that people have been given over you.

06.19.2025 - 13 - More Wisdom for the Home Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Paul’s instructions in Ephesians 5 are meant to call out both husbands and wives as they read this passage. Pastor Jeff explains that wives are called to submit to their husbands in respect, while husbands are to put aside their own ambitions and self-interests to love their wives. This is an illustration of how two become one by putting aside their own desires in order to become closer together in the pursuit of unity. When two become one, they become stronger than when they were apart.

06.18.2025 - 13 - More Wisdom for the Home Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

You may be thinking to yourself, “There’s no way I can love my spouse the same way that Jesus loves the church!” Well, what if I told you that that’s the point? Pastor Jeff reminds you today that the standard of love that Paul lays out in the book of Ephesians is greater than what any human is capable of giving. That’s because, as a follower of Jesus, you are supposed to draw on the strength given to you by the Holy Spirit. Pull from that well and love out of the abundance of love that God has for you.

06.17.2025 - 12 - Walking in the Light, Wisdom for the Home Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are some Christians out in the world who believe that because they are followers of Jesus, they are not subject to the laws of Earth. But Pastor Jeff wants to squash that notion with today’s message. He reminds you that the authority of kings and governments comes from God, and the only law that supersedes the law of the land is the one found in the Bible. As long as the laws of the land do not prevent you from following God’s commandments, you should obey the leaders He has placed over you.

06.16.2025 - 12 - Walking in the Light, Wisdom for the Home Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

How hungry do you get when you miss a meal? If you start to miss multiple meals, you’ll start to notice it affecting your energy levels and your mood. Your body needs food to stay alive, but your soul needs God’s Word to sustain itself as well! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that it is important to develop a consistent habit of consuming the Word of God, because that is where your spiritual strength will come from. Without God’s Word, you may have to face the trials of this life all on your own.

06.15.2025 - 05 - Many are Called, Few Chosen Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever watched something evil happen around you and wished you had done something to stop it? Well, that’s the conviction of the Holy Spirit reminding you to call out and confront evil when you see it. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that John the Baptist didn’t let fear of death stop him from calling out King Herod’s evil actions, and that confrontation would cost John his life. But John knew that he was in God’s hands, and he knew that death wasn’t going to be the end!

06.14.2025 - 05 - Many are Called, Few Chosen Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you receive a wedding invitation from a friend or a loved one, there is usually a dress code listed among the details for the celebration. If you show up underdressed to a black tie formal event, you may be turned away from participating in the occasion. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the wedding ceremony of the Lamb demands the strictest dress code. You must be clothed in the robes of salvation to attend, and that only comes from accepting Jesus into your life.

06.13.2025 - 11 - Money, Sex, and Greed Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are lots of people who make a living off of trying to tell you how to find relief and healing from this painful life. Talk show hosts, podcasters, health gurus, and even some pastors will claim to have the secret cure that no one else has. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that only one person can actually follow through on what they promise, and that person is Jesus Christ. If you are weary and worn down by the trials of this world, come to the cross of Christ and lay your burdens on His shoulders.

06.12.2025 - 11 - Money, Sex, and Greed Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you want to be an example of the love of Jesus in this world, you need to learn how to control your tongue. Your attitude on the inside can change to match the words you have been speaking on the outside, if you’re not careful. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the first thing you must do to turn your heart around is to get your speech under control. Not only will your words cause harm to those around you, but they may also leave doors open in your soul for sin to seep back in.

06.11.2025 - 11 - Money, Sex, and Greed Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Love is the fuel that propels the Gospel across the world. When you look at the miracles of Jesus, His first response to someone is to show someone love and compassion before addressing their needs. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when you have love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, the bonds that are formed are stronger than anything that the world can break. The unity of the body of Christ is what gives it its strength, and that love becomes part of the testimony of the global Church.

06.10.2025 - 10 - Grieve Not the Holy Spirit with Blithering, Blathering, Bitterness, and Brawling Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you’re learning to drive a car, operate heavy machinery, or even shoot a firearm, the first thing you learn about is safety. That’s because, if mishandled, those objects can cause destruction and pain to those around you. But unfortunately, one of the most dangerous tools you can wield doesn’t come with a safety manual: your speech. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to learn to exercise self-control with your words, to make sure that your words are building others up, and not tearing them down.

06.09.2025 - 10 - Grieve Not the Holy Spirit with Blithering, Blathering, Bitterness, and Brawling Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Eventually, every believer will have to acknowledge and surrender their rights to Jesus. When He purchased your salvation, He also purchased the rights to your life! Your duty for the rest of this time on Earth, and your time in the life to come, is to serve the will of God. So, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when you acknowledge that need for surrender now, while you’re still living on Earth, you will be able to better manage your anger and not react as strongly to injustices against you.

06.08.2025 - The Father is Greater Than I Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Jesus doesn’t just want to be held on the same level as some kind of historical figure, who taught good life lessons and lived a peaceful life. No, Jesus demands the glory that is due to Him! Pastor Jeff implores you today to not be satisfied when people say that Jesus was just a good man, because He isn’t just a good man! Jesus is God, and Jesus is man. His dual nature is the whole point of the Gospel – God became man and made His dwelling among the human race. That’s what set Jesus apart.

06.07.2025 - 04 - The Father is Greater Than I Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It’s important to understand that not only did Jesus humble Himself to take on a human nature, but He also stepped into the concept of time. Scripture shows that God doesn’t function on a timeline like the human race does; He is the beginning and the end at the same time. But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there was a specific event, the Incarnation, where God took on human flesh and came to Earth in the form of Jesus. A person who had a fully godly and a fully human nature, at the same time.

06.06.2025 - 09 - Christ’s Purpose for the Christian Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you’re working on a jigsaw puzzle, a common tactic is to piece together all the edge pieces first and then work your way inwards until the puzzle is complete. But if you are missing pieces, it will be impossible to have a complete puzzle. Pastor Jeff says today that without God in your heart, your life is missing a huge puzzle piece. The world will try and give you sex, drugs, and sinful behavior to fill the hole in your life, but only the presence of God can bring lasting restoration.

06.05.2025 - 09 - Christ’s Purpose for the Christian Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In any team sport, there are substitute players who may spend the entire game waiting for their chance to make an impact on the field of play. And when their number is called, whether as part of the normal flow of the game or in the case of unexpected injury, they need to be ready to make an impact for their team. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that it also falls on you to be ready to make an impact for the Kingdom of God when your pastor or leader calls on you. How can your talents be of use to the Lord?

06.04.2025 - 08 - God’s Five-Fold Gift to the Church Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you were to ask someone to describe you in one sentence, their description would probably be lacking. That’s because humans are complex beings, changing over time due to experience, wisdom, and even time. So, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that your assignment in ministry may change over time as well. While you may have a single gift that you are most used to, God may use you in ways that you don’t expect for a season! The Lord is a creative God, and He can use you in many ways.

06.03.2025 - 08 - God’s Five-Fold Gift to the Church Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Every single athlete who wins a championship does so because they had a solid team behind them. Even in individual sports, a fierce competitor has coaches and trainers to help them hone their skills. Pastor Jeff wants you to know today that you can’t go out and start a new work for God on your own. You’re not meant to! The Lord has placed people around you to guide you and assist you. Without guidance and accountability, you won’t be able to complete the mission that God has given you.

06.02.2025 - 08 - God’s Five-Fold Gift to the Church Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The apostles of the New Testament held some very important roles in forming the early Church. Much of what we know about the life and ministry of Jesus comes from the accounts of the apostles throughout the New Testament. Pastor Jeff teaches you today about how the apostles wrote words without error by the guiding of the Holy Spirit, and how those words give life to a Church today whose members believe despite not being direct witnesses to Jesus’ ministry on Earth.

06.01.2025 - 03 - Forgive Others or God Won’t Forgive You Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you get the keys to a car, you’re not being given the keys so that you can show off your influence and authority to others! You’re given those keys so that you can put the vehicle to use, to transport people or things where they need to go! Pastor Jeff teaches the importance of understanding that while Peter was given the “keys to the Kingdom” by Jesus, he wasn’t being given a role of authority. Peter was being empowered to serve others, to meet them on their level and share the Gospel with them.

05.31.2025 - 03 - Forgive Others or God Won’t Forgive You Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 31 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When Jesus encourages you to have endurance, He isn’t trying to say that salvation is something you can just lose! Rather, the endurance that Jesus is talking about is the ability to withstand the world’s trials. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the world will try all kinds of deception and trickery to distract you from the path of righteousness. But as long as you keep your eyes on Jesus and on following the path He has set for your life, you’ll be able to withstand the storms the world is throwing at you.

05.30.2025 -07 - Three Important Commands Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 30 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

How do you react when you meet a fellow believer who has a different viewpoint from you? Most denominations within the Church have more in common than you might realize. Pastor Jeff reminds you that it isn’t worth the effort to get into petty fights with your fellow believers about minor issues of doctrine or theology. The body of Christ needs to present a unified front against a world lost in sin. The world needs to see the light that is present when the Church is united against evil.

05.29.2025 - 07 - Three Important Commands Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 29 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

What do you see when you look in a mirror? The image you see isn’t a real object, but it is a reflection of the environment around it. And just like a mirror, your life is a reflection of God’s work within you! So, Pastor Jeff wants to ask you some simple questions today: Are you a good reflection of the Lord? Are you representing Him well to the world around you? Pastor Jeff will show you Paul’s three commandments in the book of Ephesians that guide you to become that better reflection.

05.28.2025 - 06 - Exceedingly Abundantly Above Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 28 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In the book of Revelation, Jesus says that He is knocking at the door of your heart, waiting for you to let Him in. And in today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches you that God will work in your life only if you let Him in. All throughout history, you can find examples of God working in the lives of people, and turning them into vessels of His Glory, but He first requires the person to let Him in. Will you answer the Lord when He calls to you, or will you keep your heart shut and miss out on His plans for you?

05.27.2025 - 06 - Exceedingly Abundantly Above Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 27 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

There are some people who are born with the unique gift of a photographic memory. In the most extreme of cases, they can even memorize pages of information with just a short glance. But what Pastor Jeff wants you to realize today is that you can memorize every single verse of Scripture, every single description of God’s character, and still not really know Him. Intellectual pursuit can only get you so far, you need to have a personal relationship with Jesus in order to be truly saved.

05.26.2025 - Exceedingly Abundantly Above Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 26 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

What you believe about God is just as important as believing in Him to begin with! If you only think of Him as a vengeful and wrathful God, you probably won’t have a very good relationship with Him. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today to focus in on what Scripture says about God’s character. He is a father who loves His children, the shepherd who leaves 99 to go after the one, and a God who gave His own Son to redeem the debt of your sin. If that’s not a God worth entrusting with your life, who is?

05.25.2025 - 02 - The Unforgivable Sin Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 25 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you consider yourself to be someone who is easily offended? Well, being a Christian is going to be a difficult challenge if that is the case. Pastor Jeff shows you today how Jesus wants you not to be easily offended, and to instead react with grace and love towards those who persecute you. Don’t allow yourself to be steamrolled by someone making credible threats against you, but when you show that you aren’t afraid to be called names because of your faith, those insults will just slide off your back.

05.24.2025 - 02 - The Unforgivable Sin Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 24 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Are you ever worried about blaspheming the Holy Spirit? About committing the unforgivable sin? Well, Pastor Jeff encourages you that by listening to this program today, you are, in fact, innocent of blasphemy! The Pharisees were guilty of blasphemy because they knew that Jesus fulfilled all of the signs of the Messiah, and yet they chose to accuse him of working under the power of Satan. They were looking the Son of God right in the face and called him a demon. Blasphemy requires intention.

05.23.2025 - 05 - Do You Want to Know a Secret Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 23 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Many game shows will offer their contestants the chance to give up all of their winnings for the chance to win a mystery prize. The contestants don’t know for sure if the mystery prize is worth the risk, but many choose to go after the mystery prize anyway. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that following Jesus is way better than a game show! Your human mind is unable to comprehend the wonders of His Glory, but you can know for certain that they are far greater than anything you can gain on this Earth.

05.22.2025 - 05 - Do You Want to Know a Secret Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 22 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

You can’t force a church to be healthy. Even in a small congregation, there are too many factors at play for someone to just decide that the church is healthy now. Instead, it takes a dedicated effort from every member to grow in their faith and to commit themselves to deeper fellowship with each other. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that when a church becomes spiritually healthy, the presence of God becomes unmistakable! Every bit of effort is worth it when it comes to building strong faith communities.

05.21.2025 - 04 - Once Dead, Now Alive Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 21 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Peace is a valuable commodity in today’s world. There is conflict everywhere you look, and there is almost always an excuse for people to get into fights with each other. So when Pastor Jeff says today that Jesus is your peace, he means that the Lord surpasses every barrier that mankind tries to use to divide. Racial tensions, national identities, political ideologies, all of these earthly constructs crumble into dust in the presence of Jesus. All of mankind is united in its need for a Savior.

05.20.2025 - 04 - Once Dead, Now Alive Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 20 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The best marksmen train their entire lives just to hit their target more consistently and from greater distances. But did you know that you have a target to hit in life, and if you miss even once, your soul is forfeit? Well, that’s what it’s like trying to live up to the perfect standards of righteousness found in the Bible. But Pastor Jeff brings you a message of hope today, because now you don’t have to live up to the perfect standard! Jesus’ gift of salvation is enough to account for every sin you will ever commit.

05.19.2025 - 03 - Signed, Sealed, and Delivered Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 19 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you understand what it means to have the power of Jesus living inside you? It means that when you are faced with ridicule in this world, or you are faced with storms, you have the tools you need to keep from getting blown over! Pastor Jeff encourages you with today’s message, reminding you that you can do all things through Jesus! The Lord is constantly working within you, shaping and forming you into a greater reflection of His love. That presence becomes magnetic inside you.

05.18.2025 - 01 - Jesus Above All Others Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 18 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you think about the symbol of the cross in today’s age, you almost certainly think of it in relation to Jesus. But two thousand years ago, the cross symbolized a torturous death reserved for criminals. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when Jesus said to take up your cross, it means that you will have to give something up. Maybe it’s a relationship, maybe it’s a sinful habit that you indulge in, but there is always going to be something you must lose in order to follow the way of Christ.

05.17.2025 - 01 - Jesus Above All Others Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 17 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you looked at a world map from two hundred years ago, you’d see dozens of countries that exist today either didn’t exist back then, or had completely different names. It seems that every few years, a government falls, only to be replaced with another. Well, Pastor Jeff encourages you today to remember that Jesus is coming to establish an eternal Kingdom! While there may be conflict and struggle on the Earth right now, the time is coming when there will be no more war, only God’s eternal peace.

05.16.2025 - 03 - Signed, Sealed, and Delivered Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 16 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Did you know that your life is proof of the grace of God? Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the change that goes on in your life when you come to know Jesus isn’t just internal; it can be seen by other people around you as well! As you become more and more like Jesus, those people who knew you before will take notice. Just by living your life for God, you become a living testimony! That kind of testimony can be even more effective in spreading the Gospel than an altar call or a street preacher.

05.15.2025 - 02 - God Has a Plan Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 15 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

You may be asking yourself, “Why do I need to be saved?” Many people believe that their good deeds in this life will bring them rewards in the life to come. But Pastor Jeff is here to put those thoughts to bed in today’s message. Humanity has been cursed by its sinful nature, and there is no way to cleanse yourself from it. Only an outside intercessor is able to save you from the penalty of your sin, but God sent His Son to be that intercessor for the entire human race. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

05.14.2025 - 02 - God Has a Plan Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 14 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When you are adopted into God’s Kingdom, you become a
Co-heir with Jesus! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that being part of the Body of Christ comes with its responsibilities, but it also comes with its privileges! You have been given the gift of eternal life because of that adoption, and it is your job to bring as many people into the Kingdom as you can! This gift is available for anyone who will call on the name of Jesus for their salvation. Many are called, but few will answer.

05.13.2025 - 02 - God Has a Plan Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 13 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you go to your local animal shelter to adopt a pet, you’ll usually be presented with furry creatures of different ages and breeds, all looking for a good home. And once you’ve made a decision, one or more of those animals will go to their new home with you! Pastor Jeff teaches you today that just like a lost animal looking for its home, you have been hand-selected by God, picked out of the world, and placed in His eternal Kingdom. You no longer belong to the world, now you belong to God!

05.12.2025 - 01 - Who Do You Think You Are? Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 12 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The moment you accepted Jesus’ gift of salvation, you were set apart. Just like sheep are separated from among the goats, you became part of a different flock. And Pastor Jeff teaches that as part of the flock of Jesus, you go through different trials and challenges than those around you. But the end goal of your time on this earth is for you to be sanctified over time. As your life more closely imitates the life of Jesus, the power of sin will have less and less of a grip on your life.

05.11.2025 - 21 - But You, Beloved Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 11 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Do you know that as you allow worldly influences into your faith journey, you risk drifting further from the heart of the Lord? In today's message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you must let God's truth be your guiding light, steering you away from distractions that will lead you astray. By prioritizing His word and promises, you align yourself with His divine will and purpose for your life. Choose to walk in God's ways, even when the world pulls you in different directions. Experience the depth of His grace.

05.10.2025 - 21 - But You, Beloved Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 10 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The Bible always warns against false prophets for good reason; nothing will pull you away from God more swiftly than false doctrine. Today, Pastor Jeff encourages you to remain vigilant for deceitful doctrines and ensure your foundation remains rooted in God's Word. Guard your heart and mind against the allure of deceptive teachings because they will lead you astray. Stay steadfast in discerning truth from falsehood, relying on the wisdom and guidance found within God’s Word.

05.09.2025 - 01 - Who Do You Think You Are? Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 09 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

It is vitally important for a believer in Jesus to not just listen to teaching, but to take the time to dive into God’s Word, and to see what wisdom is revealed by the guiding of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeff encourages you to follow along in this new series on the book of Ephesians by taking the time to read along with his teachings. When you understand the text on your own, that wisdom can take an even deeper root in your soul. And the Lord wants nothing more than for His Word to be imprinted on your heart.

05.08.2025 - 03 - Guard your Gates Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 08 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Most of the divisive issues we deal with in life aren’t true binaries, but they are a spectrum where our opinions land somewhere in the middle. You may like one brand of soda slightly more than the other, but that doesn’t mean that you hate the other one! But Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when it comes to following Jesus, your answer is either “yes” or “no”. You can’t say “yes” to Jesus and also say “yes” to the culture. You have to sacrifice your role in human culture to be a true believer.

05.07.2025 - 03 - Guard your Gates Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 07 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Did you realize that you and I are very fortunate to live in the time we live in? We have access to information, literature, and entertainment at the touch of a button. Prior generations had limited access to the things that we take for granted now. But one of the biggest things that you and I have access to now is the presence of the Holy Spirit, and that is something that people did not have before Jesus died on the Cross. Pastor Jeff reminds you to use that power to your advantage, to help you overcome your flesh.

05.06.2025 - 02 - I Reckon Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 06 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

The Holy Spirit has been given to you as a tool to help you resist the enemy’s temptation in this world. Just like you rely on manmade tools to overcome simple obstacles in your life, you can rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. Put your trust in Him to help you overcome temptation and the desires of your flesh, and you will find it easier and easier to make those decisions over time. Pastor Jeff teaches you that trusting in the Spirit is like exercising a muscle: you need to do it over and over again to see results.

05.05.2025 - 02 - I Reckon Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 05 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

How many ancient Roman buildings are still standing today? Unfortunately, many of those buildings have crumbled away and had new construction done on top of the old sites. Buildings and cities rise and fall, and Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the desires of your flesh are just as fragile. Nothing that your flesh desires will last forever, and you can’t take anything with you when you go into the next life. But the things of God, those things that produce good spiritual fruit, will last forever.

05.04.2025 - 20 - Judgment On Apostates Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 04 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Are you feeling stuck in your circumstances? Are you getting more and more frustrated by life's problems? Today, instead of dwelling on complaints about life and its challenges, Pastor Jeff urges you to redirect your focus toward surrendering your heart to the Lord. Complaining perpetuates negativity, but entrusting your concerns to God brings relief and peace. Laying your troubles before the Lord will lighten your spirit and comfort you. Embrace a mindset of gratitude and trust in God's mercy.

05.03.2025 - 20 - Judgment On Apostates Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 03 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

When was the last time you experienced spiritual growth? When was the last time you felt like you were experiencing the presence of the Lord? If you desire to cultivate growth in your faith and break free from the dullness that may have settled into your relationship with Jesus, Pastor Jeff shares that consistency in your prayer life is vital. Never cease lifting your cares, worries, and aspirations to Him. Just as a plant needs regular watering to flourish, you'll thrive when you stay in communion with Jesus.

05.02.2025 - 01 - Victory Over the Flesh Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 02 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you listen to modern-day health gurus, they place a lot of focus on your morning routine, and how the things that you put first in your day will have a cascading effect on the rest of your day. And Pastor Jeff recognizes that there is some truth in that advice, but what he tells you to do is to start your day off by getting into God’s Word! When you develop spiritual discipline and start your day off in the Lord’s presence, you can build a spiritual strength that will help you get through the world’s challenges.

05.01.2025 - 01 - Victory Over the Flesh Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 01 May 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Crucifying your flesh doesn’t mean literally nailing yourself to a cross, but it does mean that you need to put the desires and cravings of your flesh aside. Your primary role as a follower of Jesus is to draw others closer to Him by the light of your testimony. Pastor Jeff encourages you to take a look at the sinful behaviors in your life that hold you back, and to remember that the Great Commission is more important than gratifying your own flesh. He will give you the strength to nail those desires to the Cross.

Sun, 27 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

In a world of division, the call to sow seeds of restoration and unity rings louder than ever before. Today, in his message, Pastor Jeff illustrates that you must embody God's grace rather than succumbing to the world's divisive rhetoric. While apostasy lurks at every turn, seeking to lure you away from God's truths, you need to remain anchored to God's eternal promises. Claim your stake in eternity and set the world on fire in the name of His mercy. He wants anyone and everyone to join Him in His kingdom.

04.26.2025 - 19 - The Footprints of Apostasy Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 26 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Amidst the deception of our world, finding true wisdom has become more valuable than ever. It's no secret that falsehoods and misleading ideals abound. However, Pastor Jeff shares that there is a beacon of light and truth amidst this turmoil: God's grace. By surrendering your heart to Him, you're opening yourself to an eternal source of wisdom that transcends the deceptive narratives of our time. In God's presence, clarity emerges, and mercy flourishes, guiding you through the world's maze of deceit.

04.25.2025 - 11 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Have you ever seen a lightning strike? It can change the whole landscape around you in moments if it causes a fire or an electrical outage. And just like a lightning strike, the circumstances of your life can dramatically shift with no notice. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that you shouldn’t wait for the right opportunity to do good deeds in the world; the time is now! Before you go to bed tonight, try and bless one more person or do one more good deed to spread the love of God on Earth.

04.24.2025 - 11 - Cast Your Bread on the Waters Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Whenever God provides for your needs, He doesn’t usually make that provision manifest out of thin air. Instead, He calls people and moves in their hearts to be generous and share the blessings they have received with the one in need. Pastor Jeff wants you to examine the blessings that you yourself have been granted and see where you can give just a little bit more to your fellow man. Is there someone in your life who is in need of a blessing that you are uniquely equipped to provide?

04.23.2025 - 10 - The Ironies of Life Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Who is the greatest athlete you can think of? What about the greatest musician or the best writer? Well, no one becomes truly great at something without years and years of practice because they understand that in order to be great, they must perfect their skills. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that being a follower of Jesus is a lot like being a person of great skills, you become better at listening to His voice the more time you spend practicing healthy spiritual habits and the more time you spend in prayer.

04.22.2025 - 10 - The Ironies of Life Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Sometimes, you find yourself in a hole with no possible escape. When you’re in that deep, dark situation, you need to look to the Lord to free you. That’s exactly what Joseph had to deal with because even though he did not sin against Potiphar, he ended up locked in prison. But Pastor Jeff teaches you in today’s message that God can change any situation in the blink of an eye. Just when all hope seems lost, you may look up and see the beam of light that symbolizes the end of your trial.

04.21.2025 - 09 - The Mighty Man Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

God’s purposes behind blessing some people and leaving others wanting don’t always make sense. You’ll almost always be left wondering why someone wasn’t blessed enough or even why they were blessed too much. But Pastor Jeff wants you to understand that God rains blessings on the evil and the righteous alike because, in the end, those blessings will bring glory to His name. He will reward those who serve Him the greatest, but you may have to wait longer to receive your portion.

04.20.2025 - 18 - A Faith Worth Fighting Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

How do you respond when you hear the Lord's voice and know where He's calling you? Do you drop everything and go? Or have you decided that you have a better plan of your own? In today's message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that when you rebel against the Lord's guidance, you forfeit the miraculous things He has in store for you. Stop turning away from your inheritance of grace and choose to embrace His promises. Walk in alignment with His will and open yourself up to receiving the fullness of His blessings.

04.19.2025 - 18 - A Faith Worth Fighting Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 19 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Often, when we read about the end times, it can be discomforting. Although we know that our faith is rooted in the sacrifice of Jesus, reading about death, fire, and deception can be unsettling. Today, Pastor Jeff assures you there's no need to fear the end times. When it seems like the world's chaos is closing in, let it serve as an encouragement to pursue Jesus with more enthusiasm than ever before. Instead of succumbing to fear or anxiety, anchor yourself in the promises of God's Word.

04.18.2025 - 09 - The Mighty Man Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Living life as a Christian in a world of sin is meant to be difficult. You’re surrounded by people who aren’t held to the same standard that you are, and it would seem so much easier to just give in to sin and follow a looser set of rules. But Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to trade in short-term relief and lose out on the long-term blessings that come with living a life pleasing to God. When you live a righteous life, God will reward you by inviting you into the eternal Kingdom that He is going to establish on Earth.

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

If you were to get lost in a forest, would you rather have a hand-drawn map made by a child or a detailed map of the area with major bodies of water and nearby roads? Clearly, the second option would help you find your way out of danger and back to civilization, while the hand-drawn map would be inaccurate and lead you astray. Well, Pastor Jeff puts it bluntly today when he reminds you that your heart is an imperfect guide for your life. If you want to navigate the world safely, you need God’s map to be your guide.

04.13.2025 - 17 - Faith’s Consummation By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Where do you hang your hat? If you had to put all your trust into something, who or what would it be? Be it relationships or possessions, we all have places that we turn to for refuge. Today, Pastor Jeff shows you the importance of focusing on the depth of your foundation in the Lord, especially when faced with life's endless waves of destruction. No matter how secure your foundation is, life's challenges will never stop coming. Change your life by believing in something that will withstand your toughest battles.

04.12.2025 - 16 - Faith’s Consummation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0300

Amidst the scoffs and jeers of a world that mocks your belief in the resurrection of Jesus, Pastor Jeff encourages you to stand firm as an immovable anchor. Let the world’s derisions be like gusts of wind that only serve to unfurl your sail and push you towards God’s kingdom even stronger. In the constant battle for your heart, where doubt and ridicule never go away, remember that God will never abandon you.

When you go to the gym, it’s easy to pick up a small weight and exercise without giving your body any challenge. You won’t feel fatigued at the end of your workout, but you also won’t gain as many of the benefits of the exercise. But when you push yourself to lift a heavier load, your strength will increase as your body adapts to the new weight. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that listening to wise counsel is how you challenge your heart to make it grow stronger and wiser instead of opting for easy exercises.

Today in his message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that if you cling to the world’s illusions, you will be separated from eternal life with Jesus.

When you go deep sea diving, you’re usually paired up with a “buddy” that you must stay close to at all times. In the deep, dark ocean, you need someone that is watching your back, and they likewise need you watching their back, to ensure that you both complete the dive safely. Pastor Jeff encourages you today to find a church or a faith community that helps you navigate through life, but remember that it’s just as important to contribute and help others as it is to seek help for yourself.

Look at the richest and most powerful people in today’s world. What are they doing besides trying to gain more power and riches for themselves? Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there is a difference between those who live in contentment with what God has given them and those who are consumed by the drive and desire for more.

Have you ever thought that thermodynamics can be an illustration of God’s creation? Well, the first law of thermodynamics states that energy can change forms but not be created or destroyed.

Think of the cycles of life that you see in nature. As the seasons change, plants bloom in the spring and summer, then fade and die during the fall and autumn. And in the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon observes that human lives function in a similar cycle. Pastor Jeff wants you to realize today that there is something valuable to be gained no matter what season of life you are in. The opportunities you have right now won’t be around forever, so will you let them go to waste?

When you visualize all of the choices you make in life, it can feel like an endless spiderweb of possibilities and hypothetical “what-if” scenarios for how your life will turn out. But in God’s eyes, those paths only have two possible outcomes: life with Him or life without Him. Pastor Jeff warns you today to prioritize your life with God while you still can because all of the earth’s pleasures and treasures are temporary. When they all fade away, what will you be left holding at the end? Be sure you’re holding on to the Lord.

When you buy a piece of furniture or equipment that requires assembly, it usually comes with an instruction manual that gives you the steps needed to complete the project. If someone else tried to look at the finished product and write their own manual, the instructions would be incomplete and unreliable. Pastor Jeff wants you to ask a big question today: Why do people look at the instruction manuals that men write for themselves when you have access to God’s Word, given to you by the Creator himself?

The humble shepherd boy, youngest and smallest among all of his brothers, became the warrior that none of them could be on their own, and Pastor Jeff shows you today that it’s all because of his faith in God. That faith gave him the strength of a whole army.

A lot of healing can take place over a meal. Sitting down to eat with someone is a very human experience, where all involved are taking care of their physical need for food. In the case of Jesus and the disciples, they had an opportunity to eat together, after Peter returned to his life of fishing. Pastor Jeff shows you today how the breaking of bread between Jesus and Peter mended the relationship that had been previously strained. Peter’s denial of Jesus was forgiven, and the bond between man and God was restored.
