World Challenge Sermons

Preaching from Matthew 2:1-12, Joshua West offers powerful insights on Jesus the king and our response to him. Herod responded with fear and agitation, but the wise men sought to worship Christ. We see the same types of responses to Jesus today. Some are rebellious and do not want to give up their crown, but others will surrender completely and bow in repentance before Jesus.

In Matthew 6:25, Jesus commanded his followers not to be anxious about anything, but that seems easier said than done. How can we follow this commandment when it is so hard to let go of our worries? Gary Wilkerson offers practical ways to look beyond our everyday concerns and instead seek the kingdom of God.

We will face impossible situations that demand nothing less than divine intervention. David Wilkerson shares that God's people will never be triumphed over in times of calamity. Just as sure as God warns us of calamities, he will speak his promises into our heart. When you trust God and his Word, the impossible becomes possible. We must take our faith to the distant unknown and stand on the Lord's promises.

Even in the face of great challenges, the Bible’s most common command is “Fear not.” Pastor Gary Wilkerson explains how God has called us to fellowship with one another, ministering through a godly community to bring healing. So much of what the world promises will satisfy us only causes us to construct a false self that doesn’t mend the heart wounds. Loving truth will break away that artificial wholeness and truly allow God to heal us.

David Wilkerson preaches on the greatest awakening of the church that is coming in supernatural power. God is going to pour out his Spirit and bring revival, starting in the pulpits. This river will bring life wherever it goes. There will be a supernatural stirring of gifts of faith and evangelism. We are destined for the most significant movement of the Holy Spirit.

Referencing several key biblical passages, God's glory is revealed by a brief-but-engaging summary of his attributes. There is only one God. He is above all else, infinitely good, perfectly wise, and all-knowing. But God also knows each of us. Our purpose is to pursue God, to seek his face and worship him above everything.

No human hands or efforts can produce true spirituality. In this sermon, David Wilkerson discusses how only the Holy Spirit's work can produce a great awakening in a person's life and soul. The church can reproduce all sorts of structures and rules from the New Testament in order to recreate Pentecost and a move of the Spirit, but no one can force God's hand to move in their church or house without addressing the heart of spiritual deadness.

What does waiting look like for a Christian? In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson focuses on how the disciples waited with joy, continued in their daily life and spent time together with God. They saw their impossible situation, and they waited on God rather than acting in their own strength. They were moving from self-sufficiency to Holy Spirit dependency. When you wait on God, he will move in your life. You will be clothed with power to face your impossible situation.

Why is the virgin birth of Jesus important to the foundations of Christian faith? Pastor Joshua West shows the power of God at work in the birth of Christ, rooted in the prophecies of the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Covenant. The question Jesus asked his disciples in Matthew 16:15, "Who do you say that I am?" remains critically relevant to everyone today. From his virgin birth and throughout the Gospels, Jesus draws a line in the sand and we must respond to him and only him for salvation.

Jesus came to preach the good news, open our hearts, set captives free, and help the brokenhearted. But childhood trauma, as well as negative experiences as adults, can stifle the love God wants us to experience. The enemy lies to us and wants to destroy us. Only by having an intimate, meaningful relationship with Jesus can we find the healing God wants us to have. We can't know everyone in our church or sphere, but having close Christian friends who love us is critical to knowing we are loved and valued by God.
