Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
