Wonder Church

We study the parallel king in Daniel 5.  We see that he is contrasted to his predecessor and is called out by God for increasing sin in his life.  We tend to respond in one of two was when our sin is brought to the surface: We either repent or we continue in our way.  But, in this message, we will be encouraged to allow the Holy Spirit to examine our hearts and give us the opportunity to repent and take on His life-giving way.

Pastor CJ studies the rise, fall, and transformation of the King of Babylon.  He focuses in on a statement after the King has been humbled. Concerning God, "no one can say to him, "what have you done?"' In this short statement lies the secret to one's faith growing through suffering.  

Pastor Brandon Jones brings a message studying the day of Pentecost and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Tim Olson brings a message studying the power of the Lord's prayer and invites us to commune with Jesus.

Guest Speaker Pastor Elaine Jones shares from story of the miracle at the wedding in Cana.  She focuses in on the relationship between Jesus and His mother and discovers hope for all of us who find ourselves in difficult situations.

We study Daniel chapter 3 and take a closer look at the king.  We discover his motivation for building an "image" and threatening the fiery furnace, and that we are often motivated by the same thing: control. Yet, like the three jews in this story, we can find freedom in trusting our God.

In this message, we study Daniel 2. A surprising string of events has brought a defeated, exile to the foot of the throne of the most powerful person in the ancient world.  It is in the scene that God's power is revealed in Daniel and brings this world power to his knees testifying that Daniel's God is the Lord of all.  Much can be learned from this story.  To that end, we invite you to listen to this study.

In this message, we study Daniel chapter 1.  Daniel is among the exiles of Judah into the land of Babylon.  In captivity, he is faced with a tension, to honor his conviction to not defile himself, or to compromise and follow the rule of his new government.  Many followers of Jesus can find themselves in similar situations.  What do we do?  We will discover that even when it feels like all is lost, God is still in control.  Therefore, we can have courage to follow God, even if it means standing out.

Our heart at Wonder Church is to empower people to be everything they were made to be.  This statement points to our passion for disciples making and wholistic and healthy spirituality.  At the foundation of all of our beliefs and practice stand the Bible.  Yet, few people read the Bible and even fewer know how to read the Bible.  Therefore, in this series, we won't just read the entire book of Daniel together, we will also train you how to study it yourself.  This message opens us up to the book of Daniel and introduces us to a key method of biblical interpretation: Inductive Bible Study.

Easter is a pretty weird holiday.  You have eggs, bunnies, and Jesus raising from the dead.  Though there were no bunnies or eggs on the first Easter, 2000 years ago, it was still a pretty weird day.  The Gospel of Luke tells us that some of those who first heard that Jesus rose from the dead thought it was an "idol tale. And they did not believe it." But, in this message, we will go and inspect the tomb for ourselves and explore whether or not Jesus actually rose from the dead and what it means if He didn't, and if He did.
