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.

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.

01.24.2026 - 08 - Fear God and Enjoy Life Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

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.

01.23.2026 - 02 - The Seed by the Wayside Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

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!

01.22.2026 - 01 - The Power of a Seed Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

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.

01.21.2026 - 01 - The Power of a Seed Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
