Why does God correct the people He loves?

In this powerful Wayman Wednesday message, Pastor Wayman Mitchell opens Hebrews 12 to reveal why correction is not rejection—it is proof of God’s love and a process that shapes us into people He can use.

From the struggle of human will and rebellion to the peaceable fruit of righteousness, this sermon challenges us to stop resisting God’s authority and receive the character-building work He wants to do in us.

Scriptures referenced include Hebrews 12, Isaiah 14, Acts 9, Galatians 3, 2 Peter 1, and 2 Timothy 2.

Pastor Lopez preaches an unusual message from Matthew 24 and Revelation designed not only for Christians today, but for the people they fear may one day be left behind.
What happened? What happens next? And most importantly, what should you do?
From the rise of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation to the Mark of the Beast, persecution, the return of Jesus Christ, and the urgent need for salvation, Pastor Lopez walks through his understanding of Bible prophecy and delivers one overriding warning:
Don't wait until tomorrow to get right with God.

This message was originally preached on May 26, 2021, so references to political leaders, international conflicts, technology, UFO reports, inflation, and other current events reflect the world as it existed at that time. Some connections between those events and end-times prophecy represent Pastor Lopez's personal interpretation and speculation.
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 24:21-22
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
2 Thessalonians 2
Daniel 9:27
Revelation 6-14
Revelation 13:16-18
Revelation 19:11-16
Luke 21:36
If this message makes you think of someone you love, don't just think about them. Pray for them. Talk to them. Share the Gospel with them while there is still time.

Can you really know that you’re saved?

Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Ephesians 1 on the assurance of salvation and one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: God is committed to finishing what He started in you.

New converts and longtime Christians alike can struggle with condemnation. Old habits surface. Wrong thoughts return. The devil accuses you and tells you, “You haven’t really changed. You’ll always be this way.”

But God says something different.

In this message, Pastor Mitchell explains what it means to be redeemed by the blood of Jesus, accepted in Christ, and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

That seal is more than a religious idea. It speaks of ownership. God has put His mark on those who belong to Him.

Philippians 1:6 says:

“He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Your confidence is not that you are strong enough to save yourself. Your confidence is in the God who saved you and is working to bring His purposes to completion.

Scriptures: Ephesians 1:3-14, Romans 6:23, Isaiah 52:3, Acts 20:28, Colossians 1:12-14, Romans 8:1, Luke 10:20, Philippians 1:6, Jude 24-25

What do you do when your circumstances tell you there is no future?

Pastor Wayman Mitchell preaches from Jeremiah 29:11 about one of the most powerful forces in the Christian life: hope.

Israel was living in exile. Their circumstances looked permanent. Yet God spoke:

Your present circumstances do not get the final word. Failure does not get the final word. Sin does not get the final word. Discouragement does not get the final word. God is still working.

People will get on your nerves. They will misunderstand you, disappoint you, irritate you, and sometimes flat-out offend you.

The question is: what happens inside YOUR heart when they do?

Preaching from Romans 15:5, this message challenges Christians to take a spiritual “fit check.” Scripture calls us to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. When those things disappear, our relationships aren't the only thing that suffers. Our effectiveness for God suffers too.

Unity does not mean everybody has the same personality or never disagrees. It means we refuse to let offense, pride, insecurity, competition, and bitterness destroy what God is trying to accomplish through His people.

In this message:

• Why your relationships reveal what's happening spiritually
• How offense can slowly change your heart
• Why talented people can still destroy team chemistry
• The connection between unity and spiritual strength
• How correction keeps us spiritually “in tune”
• Why sometimes you simply have to be the bigger person
