World Challenge Sermons

Most believers are familiar with the scriptures that caution us against judging or condemning others, but how should we respond to having others attack us? Gary Wilkerson walks through how psalm 7 discusses the reality of feeling personally assaulted by those who wish us harm and how to overcome.

In this episode, Gary Wilkerson returns to the rich text of psalm 6 to examine how God is a miracle-worker and has compassion on his children. The Bible and history have thousands upon thousands of examples of God miraculously moving on the behalf of his people, so how do we have faith in this aspect of our Heavenly Father?

Why does God allow certain types of difficulty or suffering to stay in our lives, despite all of our prayers for relief? Why does God sometimes not heal us from illnesses? Why does he not grant our prayers for freedom from certain sins? Gary Wilkerson explores the weight of these questions and how the Bible gives us an answer.

In this episode, Gary Wilkerson talks about how believers can respond when the situation they hoped would be overcome or past lingers on and they continue to struggle. He shows how this psalm addresses our heart-deep weariness after prolonged seasons of hardship and how God addresses that pain.

What is one of the most important chapters in the Bible? It’s arguably psalm 4 because it touches the very nature of evil and the heart of the conflict that believers find themselves in the world today. Gary Wilkerson walks through the ways this psalm teaches believers how to fight back in faith.

In this episode, Gary Wilkerson discusses how important it is to be honest about our pain and struggles to God as well as within the church and our community. Psalm 3 opens the door on how to not be ashamed of our troubles or shortcomings and how to be open about our heart condition.

How do we move forward and still trust others when we see the world enveloped in crisis and when authority is acting in contradictory or unreliable ways? Gary Wilkerson explores how the Bible answers this question and offers us hope through psalm 2.

In this episode, Gary Wilkerson talks about how righteous believers prosper, not necessarily materially but spiritually. While hardship is almost guaranteed in life, anyone who is firmly rooted in Christ will have an abundance of joy and strength throughout their trials.

Unbelief in our trial grieves the heart of God and causes Him pain—it's the mountain we must move. Yet, it's agony that leads us to a place where we pray the ultimate prayer. After fasting, prayer and weeping we will cry out just as Jesus did in Gethsemane, "Not my will but thy will be done." To move the mountain, we must be absolutely convinced of the love of God.
