Part 2 – SERIES: Discovering Your SHAPE

Spiritual gifts are the first part of a Christian’s “SHAPE”. They are a set of God-given and Spirit-empowered spiritual abilities given to every believer, according to God’s grace, to help them fulfill their God-given personal purpose as part of the body of Christ. This week Pastor Josh gives an overview of what spiritual gifts are.

The Church I Want To Be A Part Of...

Pastor Josh begins the new year by sharing his heart as it relates to our church and our future at Wawasee Bible.

Part 43 – SERIES: Lionman of Judah

Jesus closes his “Sermon on the Mount” with a handful of short instructions that would each merit their own sermon. We’re covering them all at once, looking at the five choices Jesus lays out for us to make in these verses – the biggest of which is, “Will I put into practice what I’ve heard and be wise? Or will I ignore it and play the fool?”

Part 42 – SERIES: Lionman of Judah

Jesus tells his followers to "ask", "seek", and knock", because those who do have a generous Father who delights to give good gifts to his children! It's said that God answers prayer in one of three ways: "yes", "no", and "ask again later." So what are some of the reasons he doesn't say "yes"? Learn to abide in the God who loves you and delights to be generous toward you.

Part 41 – SERIES: Lionman of Judah

Jesus calls his people to be slow to critique others, never being judgmental or overcritical. We're still required to make judgments and correct brothers and sisters in their sin, but we should always examine our own lives first to be sure we're living lives of repentance ourselves. In all things, love should rule and motivate everything we do.

Through faith in Jesus Christ, we can experience victory over external trials and internal temptation as our faith is tested and we grow to be like Jesus.

Part 39 – SERIES: Lionman of Judah

Jesus calls us to choose what's best in the way we live and order our lives. Which do you choose?

Part 37 – SERIES: Lionman of Judah

After saying our righteousness must exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees in Matthew 5:20 if we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus uses six examples to show how the standard of righteousness God expects from us is higher than we ever imagined.

Paul describes the Church using the metaphor of a body in 1 Corinthians 12. It's one body with many parts, all interdependent upon one another. Each member with a role to play and part to contribute in unity together for Jesus' glory, others' good, and our joy!
