11.12.2024 - 08 - The Antichrist and the Great Tribulation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Just when the Antichrist is at the peak of his power, and all seems lost for God’s people, the Lord Himself will step in and hold judgment for the living and the dead. Jesus will return and crush the Antichrist, as well as the devil himself. Pastor Jeff encourages you in today’s message, because even when things are at their darkest, God is moving behind the scenes to work everything together for His glory. The enemy and his puppets don’t stand a chance against the power of God Almighty.

11.11.2024 - 08 - The Antichrist and the Great Tribulation Part 1 By pastor Jeff Wickwire

One of the signs of the Antichrist’s coming will be the way that he overthrows three kingdoms of the Earth. Pastor Jeff warns you that none of the Earth’s kingdoms will be stable enough to resist his influence when he comes to power. But be encouraged, because you are a citizen of a different kingdom, the Kingdom of God. The enemy may try and wage war against its gates, and may try to strike you down, but you are God’s beloved child. He will strike down the Antichrist in the end.

11.10.2024 - 03 - What You Worship Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Ironically in our society, it’s far more rare for something not to worshipped than worshipped. In other words, moving beyond religious institutions and even gurus, our culture chooses to worship what’s tangible. Whether it’s wealth, a partner, or a job, we prefer to worship what’s right in front of us. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to invest in wisdom that lasts beyond the grave, give your heart to Jesus. Worship a living, breathing God who wants to usher you into eternity. 

11.09.2024 - 02 - The Habits That Hold You Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In your walk with Jesus, what happens when you fall into bad habits? When you find yourself doing things that you never thought imaginable and feel numb to the pain you're causing, how do you find your way again? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to dispel sin out of your life and find who you know you are through Jesus, all you need to do is run to His arms. No matter how many times you stray from the flock, Jesus will always be waiting to smother you with His perfect grace.

11.08.2024 - 07 - The Ancient of Days Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

God’s judgment comes swiftly and silently, without warning. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that judgment can come at any time, and it isn’t wise to say, “I’ll wait until the end times to get right with God”. The end times are already here! Don’t risk your eternity over a few extra years of living for yourself. Take the steps now to give your life over to God, so that you know where you are going when God’s judgment comes due for the world. He will not allow sin to go unpunished forever. 

11.07.2024 - 07 - The Ancient of Days Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

You’re beginning to see how accurate Biblical prophecy can be. The first passage of Daniel chapter 7 lays out a lot of things that would come true after Daniel had passed away. Pastor Jeff wants you to be assured that God knows how the story of Earth ends, and how every single institution, nation, and empire will come down in the last days. The ending is coming nearer every day, and it’s important for you to be right with God before it is too late. Will you serve Him, or will you wait too long and be left out?

11.06.2024 - 06 - In The Lions’ Den Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When Daniel was saved from the lions’ den, it set an example of how God can rescue you from a dangerous situation. Pastor Jeff reminds you that God’s response may not always be to save you, but He does reward those who are put in danger for deciding to worship Him instead of bowing down to mankind’s demands. Daniel chose to go into the lion’s den not knowing if God was going to save him or not. But he knew the reward on the other side was greater than a thousand lifetimes on Earth.

11.05.2024 - 05 - In The Lions’ Den Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Do you believe that God can show you favor when you stand up for Him within a pagan culture? The book of Daniel gives several examples of how Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were given favor by God, and even saved from certain death because they believed in God’s sovereignty rather than caving into the demands of the culture they lived in. Don’t doubt the power of the Lord, He can move on your behalf and open doors that you never would have thought could be opened.

11.04.2024 - 05 - The Handwriting on the Wall Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The greatest benefit of studying history is to learn from the mistakes of those who came before you. It gives you the chance to see where people have gone wrong in how they treat other people, political decisions that didn’t produce the desired outcome, or the rise of evil political figures who seemingly came from nowhere. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that studying mistakes of the past can also help you avoid falling into sinful behavior, separating yourself further from your old, godless self.

11.03.2024 - 02 - The Habits That Hold You Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

It’s safe to say that we all have bad habits. Whether they’ve slowly developed over time, or seemingly came out of nowhere, bad habits destroy our lives all the same. Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you don’t need to be a prisoner to your mistakes. Instead of feeling stuck in the muck and mire, let God wash you white as snow. Start the journey of cultivating new habits and replacing the old ones that only tore you down. Grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be through God’s grace. 

11.02.2024 - 01 - Who Your Friends Are Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

It doesn’t matter if it’s a musician, celebrity, or even a pastor, we’ve seen all types of people turn their backs on God’s grace. What caused them to fall out of love with Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to see your faith flourish and rise above the pain of this world, you need to keep your inner circle centered on Christ. The moment you start to drift into other spheres of influence, the further you’ll from the heart of Jesus. Claim your stake in eternity and be saved. 

11.01.2024 - 05 - The Handwriting on the Wall Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

What are the sacred things in your life that you have misused? Pastor Jeff teaches that the most sacred thing that people misuse is their bodies. When you fail to take care of your body, which is a gift from God, you can become spiritually distant from God. Taking care of your body, and watching what you put into it, is a form of worship to God. It’s a sign that you are a good steward of the gifts you have been given. Belshazzar was a poor steward of his body, and of the Temple vessels his grandfather had taken.

10.31.2024 - 04 - The Danger of Pride Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

You don’t just owe some part of your life to God, you owe Him everything! The entire world around you is His creation, His dominion. Pastor Jeff teaches that when you fail to give God praise and glory for the glory of His creation, He will not look on you with favor. In fact, that is why Nebuchadnezzar was struck with madness, because he believed that he himself was responsible for the glory of Babylon, instead of realizing that its prosperity and power were signs of God’s favor.

10.30.2024 - 04 - The Danger of Pride Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

One of the great mysteries of God’s character is that He exists outside of time. He knew how the world was going to end while He was creating it. Everything that has happened in the past, is happening now, and has yet to come, is all known by the Lord from the beginning of time. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the gift of prophecy gives you a sneak peek into the way God sees all of Creation. When you are fearful of the future, be assured that God isn’t surprised by your struggles or worries.

10.29.2024 - 03 - Into the Oven Part 3 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When it seems like you are facing the worst trial of your life, God may just be moving behind the scenes to set you free. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff shows how God intervened and saved Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace, while the ropes that bound them were burned to a crisp. God may not decide to save you from every trial you face, but you can be assured that regardless of the trials you face, your final destination will always be Heaven, in God’s presence forever.

10.28.2024 - 03 - Into the Oven Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

If you’ve been paying attention to the American culture over the last few decades, you’ll see that there has been a shift away from Godly living among most of the population. Now more than ever, there are people who think that being religious at all is a sign of hatred. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that your struggle isn’t against flesh and blood, and that your rescue won’t come from any man. Only God can rescue you from the culture that opposes you, His presence is your safe haven from the struggle.

10.27.2024 - 01 - Who Your Friends Are Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In your walk with Jesus, have you surrounded yourself with a body of believers? Have you made an effort to make sure your friends are walking in His ways? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to see yourself mature into the person that God wants you to be, you need to start listening to the right influences. As harmless as some of the world’s wisdom may seem, it’ll serve to slowly and painfully ruin your life. Remain committed to the only thing that will last: eternity with Jesus. 

10.26.2024 - 04 - Steps Forward Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever felt hindered by the Lord? Have you ever felt like God is ruining your plans instead of the other way around? Today, Pastor Jeff shows you that if you want to experience growth like never before and be a new creation like you desire to be, let God wreck you with His plans. The moment you choose His plans for your life is the moment that your life begins to bear fruit again. Don’t dwell in your mediocrity and make an impact for God’s kingdom. Sacrifice yourself to Jesus, just as He did for you. 

10.25.2024 - 03 - Into the Oven Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

If you watch how people act in public, you can usually tell what they worship. If someone’s attitude is always about getting money or hitting a new personal best at the gym, you’ll see the fruit of that worship in how they treat others. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that false gods aren’t the only idols that you may worship in your life. Money, political power, and even the pursuit of popularity in Christian culture can all become idols if they overshadow your worship of God. He deserves all your praise.

10.24.2024 - 02 - The King Has a Dream Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Do you wish you knew more about how God is going to resolve the world’s problems? Wouldn’t it be easier to go through life knowing how everything is going to pan out? Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that it’s not your job to know how and when things are happening. In fact, only God has the full picture of what is going on in the world. Your job, as difficult as it may seem, is to rest in the promises God has given you and have faith that everything will come to pass just as He said it would.

10.23.2024 - 02 - The King Has a Dream Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Is the God you serve a real God or a figment of your imagination? You’d better figure that out while you still have time because Pastor Jeff reminds you that every other god besides the one true God is a false one, and they will leave you high and dry when you need them the most. Instead, look at the example of Daniel, who had been given the power to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream by the God of Israel. His faith in God set him apart from all of the king’s mystics and gave him the ability to gain a position of privilege in the king’s court.

10.22.2024 - 01 - Daniel’s Resolve Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Standing up for what is right may not be an easy task. It’s like trying to swim upstream in a river, it feels like the whole world is trying to push you in the opposite direction. But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to stay the course. If you are really standing for the truth, God will be with you, and He will bless you even more down the road. Daniel and his friends gave up rich food and good wine to be obedient to God, and they were blessed with favor by the head eunuch of King Nebuchadnezzar.

10.21.2024 - 01 - Daniel’s Resolve Part 1 By Pastor Jeff wickwire

King Nebuchadnezzar was a wise, if evil, ruler. He knew that the way to truly conquer the nation of Israel was not just to take their land, but to squeeze out their culture by forcing them to assimilate into the pagan Babylonian society. Pastor Jeff shows you today how Nebuchadnezzar’s plan was to turn the young Jewish prodigies into his own servants and use those servants to influence the Jewish people. However, those young men were faithful to God and foiled the Babylonian king’s plan.

10.20.2024 - 04 - Steps Forward Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When’s the last time you felt your faith progress? When’s the last time you felt that excitement that you first felt when you originally gave your life to Jesus? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you of the importance of always being committed to growing your faith. When you don’t water the garden, you stop bearing fruit and it’s not enough for God to remain in neutral. Don’t just be a traffic cone for God’s kingdom. Be the best version of yourself by giving your all for the sake of Jesus. 

10.19.2024 - 03 - When It’s Time to Move Forward Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In our faith journey, it’s easy to forget about the vast power of God’s mighty hand. When we’re stuck in our circumstances, how do we get out of our own way and into God’s arms? Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that if you want to move on from your circumstances and enter into a life full of purpose, never quit on God. He will never leave your side and is always working everything for your good. Use His power to turn the world upside down in His name. Preach God’s gospel and grow in your own faith. 

10.18.2024 - 09 - The Surest Foundation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Earthquakes, hurricanes, and all kinds of natural disasters can pommel a building and push its foundation to its limits. It takes lots of engineering to make a large building be stable. Well, Pastor Jeff warns you today that just like those buildings, your foundation will be tested as well. If you don’t build a strong foundation on the rock of Christ, you don’t stand a chance against what is coming your way. Only Jesus can give you a foundation strong enough to withstand the disasters of life.

10.17.2024 - 09 - The Surest Foundation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The whole point of the Sermon on the Mount was for Jesus to show the people listening to Him how they could live a life that was pleasing to God, and how they needed a Savior to rescue them from the punishment of death and sin. When you build your life on the teachings of Jesus, you can withstand the storms and the struggles that the world will use to try and knock you down. But if you build your life on the sandy foundation you find in the world, you won’t be able to withstand those storms.

10.16.2024 - 08 - False Prophets and Fake Christians Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The day is coming when every person who has ever lived will stand before God to give an account of how they lived their life on Earth. Unfortunately, there are many who will point to their accomplishments and faithfulness as their reason why they should be allowed into Heaven, instead of acknowledging that the only thing that can buy their salvation is the blood of Jesus. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to get things twisted: your good works have no value on their own. You are saved by grace alone.

10.15.2024 - 08 - False Prophets and Fake Christians Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you look at a famous Christian teacher on social media, what is their content primarily focused on? Pastor Jeff wants you to be aware of false prophets because, in this day, there are countless people trying to make a career by telling people how God wants them to live, without backing up their claims in Scripture. Instead, you should be looking to the Bible to read the words of Jesus for yourself and see what the Christian life is all about.  Don’t be led astray by a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

10.14.2024 - 07 - Wisdom, Prayer, and the Narrow Way Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The world is full of people trying to show you how their way of life is the ultimate key to happiness. Fitness instructors, self-help gurus, and financial wizards, all seem to have the secret sauce to happiness. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that trying to live your life by what any human being tells you will result in you going through the wide gate of destruction at the end of your life. Instead, live your life according to what Jesus has taught you to do, and you will spend eternity with Him.

10.13.2024 - 03 - When It’s Time to Move Forward Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

What happens when you know that you need to move on? When you know that your life is being pulled in another direction, how do you respond? Today in his message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that change is never easy, but changing for God’s plan will be the best decision you ever made. No matter how improbable or implausible His plan may seem, it’ll always serve to bless your life. Make the change today and be made new by way of His grace. Leave the lies of the world behind and step into eternity.
