01.07.2025 - 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.

01.06.2025 - 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.

01.05.2025 - 03 - Your Separation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you actively engage in preaching God’s good news, do you ever experience His unwavering strength? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to show you the inherent power found in proclaiming God's good news to the world. The act of sharing His message not only becomes a source of strength, but an avenue into God’s presence. Regardless of the storms that will come, preaching God's Word will always stand as a wellspring of strength. Uplift your faith by being a catalyst for God’s love.  

01.04.2025 - 02 - The Bible and Your Sanctifications Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you surrender to God’s perfect love, do you experience rapid growth? Today, Pastor Jeff illustrates that your life will improve by immersing yourself in God’s love. God’s love will never fail you and will only serve to carry you to the finish line. It stands as an unwavering force, propelling you toward self-discovery and purpose. Embrace this glorious journey, allowing God's love to consume you, and witness how it shapes you into the person you were always meant to be.

01.03.2025 - 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.

01.02.2025 - 03 - Blessed are the Peacemakers and the Persecuted Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The Bible famously tells Christians that when someone slaps them, to turn the other cheek. Have you really taken the time to consider how you would react if someone slapped you out of the blue? It would be your most basic human instinct to fight back, to return a slap for a slap. But Pastor Jeff reminds you to break that cycle, respond to persecution with a gentle spirit, and pray for the one who is antagonizing you. Seek mercy for your enemies, just as the Lord has shown mercy to you in your sin.

01.01.2025 - 03 - Blessed are the Peacemakers and the Persecuted Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

As you can tell, all of the Beatitudes share a similar theme: someone who is even-keeled and slow to let their emotions take over their actions is favored by the Lord. Pastor Jeff doesn’t want you to think that these are the only things that bring about God’s favor, but they are the outward signs of a selfless heart. Being slow to anger and quick to show mercy are traits of God’s nature, and the goal of every Christian should be to show the kind of love that God has for humanity to everyone around you.

12.31.2024 - 02 - Blessed are the Hungry, Thirsty, Merciful, and Pure Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Today’s culture is all about watching out for your own interests. It can be difficult to trust someone to put your interests above their own, even in a low-risk situation. Pastor Jeff reminds you today of the story of the Good Samaritan, someone who didn’t just stop to help someone in need, but selflessly sacrificed to ensure they got back on their feet. God calls you to be a merciful person, to remember the times when you were in need of help. Allow yourself to be the vessel of God’s mercy for someone else.

12.30.2024 - 02 - Blessed are the Hungry, Thirsty, Merciful, and Pure Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Do you remember the first time you had your favorite food? What was so special about it? Did it make you feel something new, or was there a specific ingredient that made that meal stand out above the rest? Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when you truly encounter God’s presence, you can’t stop thinking about it until the next time you are refilled. You start to count down until the next time you can have it. But the things of God will fill your life much more than a delicious meal.

12.29.2024 - 02 - The Bible and Your Sanctifications Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In your journey, have you ever let God guide your life? When you know what He’s calling you to, do you drop everything and answer the call? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds you that when God beckons you toward a purpose, He expects you to follow through. Regardless of your knowledge, or how well your decisions seem to be working out, you’ll never experience all of the things that God has in store for you. Embrace God’s divine calling for your life and never grow weary in your pursuit of Him. 

12.28.2024 - 01 - Your Salvation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you’re burdened by the weight of life's challenges, how do you respond? How do you overcome it all when you’re stuck in a pit with no way out? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you can find refuge by laying your burdens at his feet. God wants nothing more than to see you be the beautiful person He has always wanted you to be. Step into the liberating truth that you’ll find a source of solace and freedom by giving your struggles to God. Discover a path to serenity, solace, and peace. 

12.27.2024 - 01 - Lost and Found Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

There’s a classic saying that we tell children that says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. There is some Biblical truth to that statement because we see in the Beatitudes that we are called to be meek. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches that when we are quick to react against an offense, it does two things: it makes us always be on the defensive, but it also shows our enemies where we are weak. And in this world, we must be strong and steadfast in our faith.

12.26.2024 - 01 - Lost and Found Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

If you’ve ever worn prescription glasses in your life, there’s a moment where you first put them on and begin to see everything much more clearly than you used to! Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when the Holy Spirit comes into your life, He begins to reveal to you how much you need God’s presence to get through life. You will begin to see how poor you are without God. If you learn to completely rely on God to provide for your needs, your faith and relationship with Him will grow stronger.

12.25.2024 - 02 - Peace on Earth By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever wondered why it is so hard for rival nations to find lasting peace? It’s because they are looking for something they can’t give each other. Humanity is too volatile, there is always someone looking to take from one another, so lasting peace is very difficult to maintain. However, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that true peace is only found in Christ. It’s the kind of peace that only comes when you have been washed clean, absolved of the burden of sin that weighed you down so much.

12.24.2024 - 01 - Christmas Joy Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Unfortunately, humanity bears a debt of sin that we cannot repay on our own. We are all guilty of turning our backs on God and choosing our own ways over His. But that doesn’t mean we are without hope, Pastor Jeff reminds us today that we have a path to redemption and restoration through Jesus Christ. The joy that we find in the Christmas season comes from the fact that Jesus’ birth made a way for us to find salvation, a way for us to be free of the burden of sin that we could not carry on our own.

12.23.2024 - 01 - Christmas Joy Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Sometimes when you get sick, it can feel like forever since you last felt well, and it can begin to feel like you’ll never be well again. But then, one day you’ll notice that you don’t have symptoms anymore! The relief of that feeling is what you get when the joy of the Lord enters your life. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that when you are restored to God’s presence, some of the spiritual blocks that were getting in your way just start to disappear. That relief is the most joyous thing to experience.

12.22.2024 - 01 - Your Salvation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In the quest to discover the meaning of life, it can be overwhelming to choose what to believe. Oftentimes, we see religion as a list of rules and old rituals. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that beyond rituals or doctrines, it’s a personal connection with Jesus that brings depth and purpose to your life. Stop chasing the lies of this world and believe in something that will never fail you—Jesus. Rising above religious affiliations, the blood of Jesus is the only thing that matters.

12.21.2024 - 04 - The Why Advantage in Weariness Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Do you know that you’ve been chosen by God? Do you know that He has always had you on His heart and wants to transform you from the inside out? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that beyond the confines of this world, God is inviting you to become an integral part of His eternal kingdom. Regardless of life's uncertainties, you are chosen by God to dwell with Him in Heaven. Stake your identity in the truths of God and turn to someone who will never let you down. 

12.20.2024 - 03 - Christmas Signs Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Part of the miracle of Jesus’ nature is that He has lived a fully human life, but was able to endure temptation, rejection, and pain while being completely sinless, free from its crimson stain. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is no other high priest who can intervene on your behalf quite like Jesus can, and no other high priest can understand your pain and struggles like Him. Bring all of your cares and burdens to the feet of Jesus; He came to this world to help you carry the load.

12.19.2024 - 03 - Christmas Signs Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The Holy Spirit has always been around from the beginning of time, working and intervening behind the scenes for the sake of God’s people. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the Holy Spirit was involved in the immaculate conception, in forming a child that was both fully human and fully God. The birth of Jesus is a miracle that eclipses every single act of God that preceded it because it required God to humble Himself and take on a form less glorious than what He has always been.

12.18.2024 - 02 - Christmas Hope Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

When you’re going through a challenging period in your life, it can be tough to find your footing, just like it’s tough to stay on a boat in stormy conditions. But Pastor Jeff wants you to be reassured today that there is an anchor for your soul, and that is the presence of Jesus Christ within you. When the world around you is filled with uncertainty over what is coming in the future, you can be an example of the holy peace of Jesus by continuing to do His good work on Earth, regardless of the circumstances.

12.17.2024 - 02 - Christmas Hope Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you ever bought a product because it advertises a lifetime guarantee? These products are made to stand the test of time, and not degrade with the passage of time. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that God’s promise of salvation carries a lifetime guarantee of its own! As long as you follow the commandments of Jesus, you can be assured that you will live an eternal life in Heaven, in the presence of God. The Lord’s promises never come back void, He is always true to His Word.

12.16.2024 - 01 - Christmas Providence Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Jewish prophets had been prophesying about the coming Messiah for centuries before the birth of Jesus. However, the Jewish scholars and leaders of the time were looking for a conquering King to be their Saviour, not for a humble child born in a barn. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that our Lord did not come to conquer and overthrow the kingdoms of Earth, but instead He came among the people, born humbly like a child, but He used His power to overcome sin, death, and Satan himself!

12.15.2024 - 04 - The Why Advantage in Weariness Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Amidst the rhythm of daily life, do you ever underestimate the significance of the cross? Do you ever let it slip into your lower priorities? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that you must never take the cross for granted. As Christians, we’re nothing without the saving blood of Jesus on the cross. It’s not just something to wear around your neck, but instead should be a powerful reminder of who you are through Christ. Regardless of the challenges you encounter, always stand by the cross

12.14.2024 - 03 - The Why Advantage In Warfare Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In this dance of life, it's crucial to know what will truly transform your life. We’re always searching for positive progress, what happens when we hit a bump on the road? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that the world’s wisdom will only serve to tear you down and the only way to overcome is by way of God’s grace. You need to navigate life with God’s wisdom and discernment, knowing that even things that don’t seem too bad, will add to your baggage over time. Let God be your champion. 

12.13.2024 - 01 - Christmas Providence Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The Christmas story is one that you hear all too much this time of year, and for good reason! The birth of Christ is a message of hope for the hopeless, and salvation for those trapped in the bondage of sin. Pastor Jeff wants you to know that Jesus’ time on Earth is the most important chapter of human history because it paved the way for you to be able to be reunited with God. When you spend time celebrating the holidays with family and loved ones, remember the One who deserves all the praise.

12.12.2024 - 06 - Elijah’s Mantle Falls On Elisha Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

The story of Elijah and Elisha has everything to do with the passing of the mantle. Elijah wasn’t yet finished with his ministry, but the time had come to commission his successor. Pastor Jeff says today that when God tells you it’s time to begin passing on the work you have been doing for the Kingdom, that doesn’t mean you’re no longer useful or needed. What it does mean is that you have the opportunity to raise someone up, and help them do greater things than you could have on your own.

12.11.2024 - 06 - Elijah’s Mantle Falls On Elisha Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

There’s a saying that goes, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes”. What the speaker usually means is that there are patterns of human behavior that repeat across centuries, even in different historical contexts. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the life of the prophet Elisha rhymed with Christ, who was yet to come to Earth. God uses patterns in the Bible to give His people a preview of the future. If you know how these patterns show themselves, you will recognize them as they happen later on.

12.10.2024 - 05 - Elijah: The Prophet of Fire Part 2 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Have you been on an airplane and heard the flight attendant during the safety demonstration saying, put your own oxygen mask on before helping others? It’s because you may lose consciousness while helping someone else unless you get your own mask on first. Pastor Jeff implores you today to remember that not only is it important to serve the Kingdom of God, but you also need to remember to care for your own spiritual growth. You can’t pour from an empty cup, you need God to refill you.

12.09.2024 - 05 - Elijah: The Prophet of Fire Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

Pastor Jeff is wise to point out today that Godly life is always going to have its ups and downs. Your highest highs will likely be followed by your lowest lows. The way you can endure these waves is to be rooted in God’s Word. When you’re having a great time, on fire for God, and being successful in your labor, remember to be humble and recognize God’s sovereignty over everything. And when you are down in the dumps of depression, remember that God is the one who will lift you out of the mud.

12.08.2024 - 03 - The Why Advantage In Warfare Part 1 By Pastor Jeff Wickwire

In times of conflict, it can be difficult to find a source of peace. When the world is full of fire and pain, how do we overcome?  In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that regardless of your circumstances, the freedom experienced through God's grace transcends the lies of this world. Through God's saving grace, your life becomes a testimony of liberation, unaffected by the chains of sin and full of the profound freedom of God’s mercies. Change your life trajectory and invest in eternity.
