Sermon Series and Media

We are in Christ, and we are called to live through Him. Christ and our identity in Him should affect every aspect of our lives – our role within the church, our witness in the world, our closest relationship (marriage & family), etc.

In the first 3 chapters of Ephesians, we learned what it means to be In Christ. Now, as we dive into the last 3 chapters, we’re going to learn what it means to put that truth into practice. Join us for our 10-week series, Through Christ.

Discipline is often strived for at the start of the new year. But motivation and discipline are two very different things. Do you fall back into patterns of choosing what you want now over what’s best for you in the long run? Don’t lose hope. There is a Greater Reward waiting for you. Discover how to let go of the status quo and stay focused on who God says you are and what He wants for your life. This January we will study spiritual disciplines and how they can strengthen your walk with Christ and your relationships with others.

“The Word become flesh.” That phrase is more than just a good introduction to the central figure of the New Testament. God himself did actually come to Earth as a baby. The Christmas story has been heard in countless languages over thousands of years. However, another question often goes unsettled. Why did He come? Why did He do it? God chose the fragile and tiny vessel of an infant to rescue a planet. Why pierce the darkness of a broken world by using the life of a delicate child?

Gratitude. What would it look like for us to understand and acknowledge all that we have to be thankful for? What would happen if we started our day, every day, with a heart filled with gratitude and thanksgiving? This week we will look into God’s word and reflect on how to grow in our expression of gratitude even in hard times.

Who we are and where we belong are questions we all wrestle with. People find answers to those questions in many different places: work, friends, possessions, performance, etc. But the truth can only be found in knowing who we are in Christ.

Have you ever considered why you are here? Not in some new age-y, abstract way, but in a why are you in this community, during this time in history, with these relationships, doing the things you do, being part of this church kind of way?

The relationships we experience with others has the biggest impact on our individual lives. The people we are spending our time with, says a lot about our direction, choices and priorities. We don’t always consciously think about how our friends and family speak into our life and choices or how we may be speaking into theirs. We just heard a series of messages about choosing to live life on purpose, more specifically His Purpose for us.

Repent. It means more than just confessing our wrongdoing, we are also called to turn away and walk the opposite direction.

Why did the earliest followers of Jesus continue to gather after His death, resurrection, and ascension? And why is the Church referred to as the “Body of Christ?” Join us for a new series, Acts; To the Ends of the Earth and learn how Jesus’ final teachings and the presence of the Holy Spirit created a diverse, multi-ethnic, international movement of generous worshippers and messengers that continues to invite people to experience God’s love, healing presence, and purpose even today.

Life on Mission

No matter the circumstances in our world, we still have so much to be grateful for… Easter is the pinnacle celebration of that truth. We may have troubles in this world, but take heart in knowing Christ has overcome the world, and He is still on the throne extending that offer of grace and power and love to us today and everyday!

Earthquakes, fires, hurricanes… Political strife, wars, disease, suffering… Death. It doesn’t take long to see and experience, whether in nature or humanity, our world is broken. But, if we read scripture, should it surprise us? And, maybe more importantly, what do we do with that answer – do we have a responsibility to change it? Join us for a new series about one of our foundational truths; examining the struggles of our world and the problems evident in human nature, to learn from the past and find hope for the future reflected by the divine image we were created in and the eternal purpose we were given.

When we’re overwhelmed, confused, or off-track, do we just stay there? No. Most of the time, we recognize we need to make some changes to get back on track. We need a reset. How about the Church? If we know that God’s truth does not change, should the Church change? Join us for a vision casting message as we look at some changes for WCC going into 2021. We’ll talk about each of our roles and responsibilities for equipping and empowering the body to grow in maturity and to share the hope of the Gospel. But, to get there, it may require a bit of a RESET.

Have you ever heard someone say, “this is what we do,” when describing the actions of a group or organization? How about the sayings, “actions speak louder than words,” or “it’s not just what we say, but what we do that defines us?” In a business sense, this is often described as someone’s “brand” – it’s not just their logo, but the entire experience someone has in their interactions with them that impacts the brand and their reputation.

Where did Christmas really begin? If God’s nature does not change, then it began in the Old Testament. Throughout history, in the harshest conditions, from wars and famines, through political unrest and everything in between, He’s had our redemption in mind all the time. Hundreds of prophecies foretell the story. His and ours. Jesus isn’t just part of the story, He’s the entire story. The past, the present, and the future are His invitation to the ultimate gift. Will you accept The Promise? Join us for a series leading up to Christmas as we discover just how far and wide God has persistently gone to offer hope and share His love for us.
