Any theology that doesn't glorify Christ as he is revealed in the scriptures is something meant to destroy the church from within. Anything that diminishes reverence toward the Bible should be avoided. In this message, Joshua West discusses how the greatest danger to the church isn't the world but rather 'Christians' who are actually evangelists for the flesh. There is no neutral ground in the kingdom of heaven; we are either for God or for the darkened world.

The voices in our lives can change the trajectory of our lives. The voice of the Lord can utterly transform our hearts and minds. In this teaching, Gary Wilkerson looks at how the psalms show the real impact and importance of hearing God's voice. There are so many misconceptions about what it means to hear from God, but the scriptures give us instructions on how to open ourselves to the Lord's instructions and blessings.

Many Christians want to be instruments of God's work in the world, and that is commendable. However, we are often tempted into making the Lord's battles into our personal fight, and then our egos and pride get involved. In this sermon, David Wilkerson examines the prophet Elijah's struggle against Queen Jezebel and why God allowed Elijah to experience such intense spiritual attack and setbacks in his ministry to Israel.

What is the prayer that you want to turn into praise? In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson explores how scripture leads us into a deeper understanding of fervent and effectual prayer. When we're struggling with overwhelming circumstances, we can be caught by wondering if God's silence is because he's saying no to our request. Despite all our doubts, this is the time to press forward, seeking the Lord's presence.

The Bible talks about God's great love at great length, but how does this truth weave together with God's judgment and his commands for us to not love the world? In this sermon, Joshua West explores why God's holiness means he does not accept any way of living that is apart from his law. As followers of Christ, this means that we will love righteousness and not excuse sin, no matter how tempting it may be to adopt worldly ways.

When we are in times of serious trouble, we often pray and look for God's hand to move. In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson examines how this psalm invites us to search for God's face and presence in our troubles rather than for his saving hand. As counterintuitive as this may seem, we will find far greater strength and peace than if we only desire a rescue from our suffering.

Have you ever refused to join in a sinful situation, so the people who were taking part in it started to make accusations against you? In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson explores Psalm 26 and how our sanctification will convict others and possibly cause them to turn against us. Since none of us is perfect, their accusations can hold an especially painful grain of truth. In those moments, how do we turn to God and find hope for his work in our lives?

Two very different types of shame haunt most people in the world, but the Bible offers us solutions for both kinds of shame. In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson explores how we can distinguish between these types of shame and why learning to address both of them is critical for our spiritual growth. God knew exactly what his children would face in a broken world and how their own guilt would compound their pain. He has given us the tools to address this, if we earnestly seek him and closely examine scripture.

Being distracted by good things when we are meant to be enticed by the best thing—learning more about God and worshipping him—will slow our spiritual growth and maturity. Often good works and service are a mask for anxiety over things that the world tells us are more important than our calling to seek the Lord's face. This week, Gary Wilkerson shares how this can happen to any Christian and how Psalm 24 illustrates the true life believers are meant to live.
