Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

We all construct our lives on a foundation, be it people, possessions, or God. In today's message, Pastor Jeff underscores the importance of having a resilient foundation when life's challenges arise. Regardless of how secure you feel, trials will inevitably come, and a feeble foundation will always let you down. Choose to build your life on something that can withstand all of the storms that come your way. Place your trust in God and allow Him to get you through your toughest battles.

Let’s face it, we are going to face troubles in life! The consequences of living in a fallen and broken world are that we are surrounded by broken people, everyone trying to deal with their own messes. But by coming to know Christ, we have gotten a peek at a better way to live life! We still live in a broken world, but we know that there is a better life to come. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that in order to get there, we need to persevere in following God’s commandments, even when life gets difficult.

Nothing is more important than deciding who Jesus is to you. Was He just a good man? Another religious prophet? Or is He the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the only way into an eternity filled with God's love? Today, Pastor Jeff wants you to take a moment to reflect on the teachings, sacrifice, and love that God has for you. Allow His truth to penetrate your heart and guide your life, for in Him, you find purpose, fulfillment, and the promise of eternal life. Choose to follow Jesus and experience His grace.

It doesn't matter how far you've drifted from the Lord or where you are. God knows what you've struggled with and wants to help you overcome your circumstances and rise to new heights you never thought possible. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that No matter how broken or lost you may feel, God’s love and grace are far greater than any obstacle. Trust in His unfailing love, and allow Him to guide you toward restoration. There are no limits to what you can achieve through Jesus. 

Have you ever experienced a car breakdown, only for a mechanic to pull up behind you and help you get your car back on the road? It can seem like a pure coincidence that the timing lined up, but you should also consider that it was the result of divine intervention! Pastor Jeff shows you today how not every interaction is an accident, and your testimony and experience with the storms of life may be exactly what someone needs to hear in order to further their own walk with God.

What happens when you water and care for a houseplant? Well, it will grow and flourish into something much more beautiful than you had when you started. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that when you take the time to nurture and develop your faith, God will make it grow into something much bigger and greater than you could have imagined! It began as a tiny seed when you first accepted Jesus into your heart, and over time it will become stronger and more resilient against the world’s storms.

In our faith journey, it's effortless to succumb to the world's standards and gradually drift away from Jesus. Pastor Jeff emphasizes in today's message that standing firm for God's truths is crucial despite the challenges. Following Him isn't easy, but the path to deepening your relationship with Him involves never compromising on what you know is right. Earthly pleasures may disappoint, but God remains steadfast. Dedicate yourself to working for God’s perfect kingdom and be an earth shaker.

Ever feel overwhelmed by the constant connectivity of our society? Does the demand to be present all the time weigh on you? Whether it's text messages, social media, or emails, the expectation to be connected has never been more profound. In today’s edition of Hardwired, Pastor Jeff urges you to actively carve out time away from distractions to seek Jesus wholeheartedly. Let go of the fleeting concerns of this world and invest your time in the eternal richness found through a connection with Jesus.

When you make a small adjustment to the direction of your life in the present, it can have a great impact on your future. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the time you spend now in the presence of Jesus, instead of dwelling on your challenges, will help you change your attitude regarding your life. If you trust in Jesus to get you through the difficult times you are facing, you will be better prepared to endure those challenges. Are you going to outlast the storm, or will you let the storm outlast you?

You don’t become a Christian by following a bunch of religious doctrine and reading the Bible. While these are useful for spiritual growth, the thing that makes you a child of God is having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Living a Christian life without Christ is like getting behind the wheel of a car without an engine. You can do all the right things to make the car move, but the most important piece that makes everything work is missing. Do you know Christ, or do you just know of Him?
