Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

If you keep a journal detailing how God has been working in your life, you’ll have a written account of God’s faithfulness to you! Whenever you get down and feel like help isn’t coming, Pastor Jeff reminds you today to look at God’s faithfulness like a history book: it can prevent you from making the same mistakes you have made before, but it can also give you a roadmap for how to act in the future. And once you’ve faced a trial, you can be ready to face an even tougher challenge in the future.

When the world’s burdens are too much, how do you respond? When you feel lost in who you are, how do you set yourself free? Today, Pastor Jeff encourages you to break free from the weight of the world’s sorrows and welcome in God's grace. His grace will always serve to heal you, offering redemption in the face of life's struggles. Despite the hardships that surround you, God's grace stands as an unwavering source of comfort and renewal. Release the world’s grip by allowing God's grace to envelop you. 

When you choose to immerse yourself in God’s truths, His timeless truths, do you ever break free from the world’s lies? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff urges you to leave the world’s falsehoods behind for good. God’s truths will always serve as a guiding light, offering clarity in a world full of deception. Regardless of the cultural narratives that surround you, God's grace will always stand as an immovable foundation. Let God's Word be your compass, guiding you towards an eternity with Jesus. 

The easiest way to fall into discouragement is to get tunnel vision. You get so caught up in the struggles you’re facing at the moment that you can’t turn around and see how far God has brought you. That’s exactly what the laborers were doing in Nehemiah chapter 4. But Pastor Jeff reminds you that when you take your blinders off, and take the time to see how far you’ve come, you’ll see how God has been intervening on your behalf this whole time. He’ll help you see the task through to the end.

Have you ever watched something evil happen around you, and wished you had done something to stop it? Well, that’s the conviction of the Holy Spirit reminding you to call out and confront evil when you see it. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that John the Baptist didn’t let fear of death stop him from calling out King Herod’s evil actions, and that confrontation would cost John his life. But John knew that he was in God’s hands, and he knew that death wasn’t going to be the end!

When you receive a wedding invitation from a friend or a loved one, there is usually a dress code listed among the details for the celebration. If you show up underdressed to a black-tie formal event, you may be turned away from participating in the occasion. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the wedding ceremony of the Lamb demands the strictest dress code. You must be clothed in the robes of salvation to attend, and that only comes from accepting Jesus into your life.

Jesus doesn’t just want to be held on the same level as some kind 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.

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.

Regardless of your past or present, God is beckoning you to draw nearer to Him. In your journey of growing closer to Him, have you experienced the power of His perfect love? When you allow His boundless love to infiltrate you, do you grow in closeness with Him? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that by basking in the radiance of God's perfect love, you can cultivate a deepening closeness with Him. His love, flawless and unconditional, becomes the catalyst for spiritual growth. 

When you immerse yourself in God’s Word, do you sense His guidance towards a purposeful existence? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to know that within God's Word, you can find the blueprint to your true purpose. The Bible will always offer direction and clarity when you’re trying to decipher your unique calling. Regardless of life's complexities, God's Word will always stand true, showing you the path toward a purpose-driven life. Allow God's Word to be your constant companion.
