Wonder Church

Do you ever lose your joy?  Today, there are many things that can steal our joy.  Most the time, we respond by going searching for joy.  But, this can be a trap.  In this message, we unpack 1 John 1:1-4 and discover that Joy is not a good god, but Jesus is.  When we chase Him, we find joy, and so much more.

Do you feel tired?  Jesus promised that those who follow Him would experience rest for their souls.  But, why do we often miss that rest?  In this message, we will unpack the meaning of the Sabbath command and how it teaches us about the nature of God as our leader, who is gracious and gives us rest.

Do you know that you are blessed?  Living with a sense of gratitude is healthy.  However, even blessed people can experience pain.  In this message, we look at the life of King David as he wrote Psalm 27.  We will discover that when we experience pain, God extends us on invitation to come and share it with him.

What did Jesus mean when He prayed that His Church would be one, as He and the Father are one?  In this message, we study Ephesians 4:11-16 and come to a better understanding of what it means to be a church that is united and growing in maturity.  

Have you ever been in the presence of God?  We believe that the work of Jesus Christ granted us access to the manifest presence of God.  It isn't just emotion; it isn't just understanding; it's interactive relationship.  The presence of God is where we were always meant to be.  But, often times, we draw back from it.  Why is that?  In this message, we study the Hebrews 10:19-22 and learn that we are safe in His presence and we can boldly enter in.

Do you have a friend that would visit you in prison?  We often think that church community is found in services for church parties.  But, according to Matthew 25, true community isn't found at parties, but in prisons.  In this. message, we discover more about the "home" that Jesus died for us to have - True community in his Family.

Do you feel safe with God?  Often times, we can feel unsafe in our relationships, even with God.  When this happens, we do not make our home in Him.  In this message, we discover how Jesus' victory on Easter opened the door to home for humanity: Peace with God.

This Sunday, we celebrate "Palm Sunday", the day Jesus entered Jerusalem for passover.  Jesus had just performed the greatest of all His miracles: he rose Lazarus, a man who had been dead for 4 days, from the dead.  In His triumphant entry to Jerusalem, Jesus did something shocking, he rode on a donkey.  In this message, we will unpack the significance of Jesus actions and what it can teach us about servant leadership and our humble Savior.

In this message, we study the anointing of Jesus at Bethany, a small village outside Jerusalem.  Here we find an extravagant response to the extravagant work of Jesus.  We learn that the Gospel evokes a powerful response from people.  A life impacted by Jesus becomes the fragrance of heaven in the world.

Have you ever felt hopeless or too far gone?  In this message, we look at the final sign in the Gospel of John: The raising of Lazarus.  We will discover that, for Jesus, there is nothing and no one too far gone.
