World Challenge Sermons

Drawing practical insights from Psalm 45, Gary Wilkerson explains the power of a kingdom family. This is a family serving God's purposes, seeking him, praising him, and pursuing truth, humility, and meekness. As our Father, the Lord delights in us, his children. Similarly, we can guide our families so they will thrive in righteousness.

In this sermon preached December 4, 1994, David Wilkerson teaches on the nearness of God. No matter how challenging our trials or how many attacks we face from the enemy, "You are near, O Lord, and your commandments are truth" (Psalm 119:151, NKJV). No one is beyond temptation or trials, but when we draw near to God, he will draw near to us (James 4:8) and deliver us.

Gary Wilkerson provides three practical ways we can respond to life's challenges. Spiritual warfare and the attacks that come with it are part of the Christian life, but if we trust God, realize that we are in a war, and know that "all things work together for good" (Romans 8:28, ESV), we can renew our mind and worship God through the pain.

Preaching from Matthew 4, Pastor Joshua West shares biblical insights on the call to repentance. Jesus preached, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17, ESV). Likewise, we need to preach the true gospel. A gospel that is watered down, that minimizes repentance, will not cure anyone. Jesus made himself available to those in need, did not show partiality, was sensitive to the needs of others, and more. But he never compromised his message of repentance or that he is "the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6).

Preaching on Psalm 44, Gary Wilkerson offers practical biblical insights on the healing power of lament. Through our trials and suffering, the steadfast love of the Lord will lead us to healing and restoration. Blocked goals and needs may lead us to anger, grief, mourning or other struggles, but God hears, heals, and restores. There is a place for lament, individually and collectively. Through our trials, "we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (Romans 8:37, ESV).

In this sermon delivered on December 23, 2001, David Wilkerson preaches on hypocrisy surrounding the baby Jesus. Many people and religions celebrate Jesus in the manger, but fail to worship Christ as Lord or realize what his coming into the world represents. We can rejoice in the Christmas miracle of the virgin birth, but we must also understand the power of Jesus, his deity, the gospel he offers, and the power of salvation through him alone.

Continuing his Psalms series, Gary Wilkerson shares insights from Psalm 43. When we are in the midst of battles, overwhelmed by difficult circumstances, downcast and discouraged, how can we find joy? The solution is to go to the Lord, allowing his light and truth to lead us, not our negative emotions or circumstances. We must put our hope in God, trusting him no matter what.

God is calling us to believe in an end-time outpouring of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit cannot move in a church where there are people who hold grudges because they can't forgive. We are not only called to forgive, we are called to cover the sins of others by not broadcasting the hurt that was done to us. God says the latter glory will be greater than the former Glory. In this message delivered August 3, 2008, David Wilkerson preaches a powerful message from 1 and 2 Peter.

When Christ was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, how did Jesus respond? Pastor Joshua West explores this important passage from Matthew 4. As we face the world, the flesh, and the devil, we must turn to God and his Word, trusting in his sufficiency. To overcome the desires of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, we must turn only to God for the solution to temptation. Humble submission to the Lord equips us to resist the devil.
