Season 1

Live Ready | Luke 12:35-48

Scripture constantly presents us with the reality and unexpectedness of Christ’s return. How should the church live in light of this reality? What kind of life should a Christian be living until the moment He comes back? Luke 12:35-48 informs us on how all believers should view their “task” until He sees fit to return.

Death Defeated | 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

Where, O death, is your victory? Where is your sting? It is gone forever because Jesus has defeated death! The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than religion. It is restoration of what was lost in the Garden of Eden, victory. Do you hope in Christ for eternal life? If so, the resurrection ought to prompt you to steadfastness and Gospel activity. If you do not, we would love to help you find hope in Him!

Eyes on Jesus | Hebrews 12:2

Christians follow Jesus. It’s what do. To follow Him, we gotta keep our eyes on Jesus. Check out this week’s sermon on Hebrews 12:2.

Our Core Values, Pt. 1 | Acts 20:28-30

We all have core values. They drive us. They are the reason we do what we do. We exercise because we value our health. We save money because we value preparedness. In a similar way, Wildwood Church has core values that cause us to do what we do. We invite you to watch this sermon and the next to see what our core values are!

Our Core Values Pt. II | Genesis 3:1-19

Families have a huge impact on our communities. Where there is a high regard for marriage and family, communities thrive. Where there is low regard for marriage and family, communities struggle. Join us as we examine God’s plan for human thriving through the gift of marriage and family.

Discipleship: The Right Response to Jesus’ Glory | Matthew 28:16-20

A right understanding of who Jesus is will cause his followers to worship him, submit to this authority, obey his commands, and live through his presence! One who views Jesus as though he were any other man might ignore his commands. A glorious, crucified, and risen Christ commands us to make disciples of all nations, and the only right response is to obey! The job isn’t done yet. Will you give Jesus your “yes” to do your part to take the gospel to the unreached?

For Better or Worse: Biblical Principles for Resisting the Spirit of Offense | Proverbs 19:11

Do you ever get offended? Does your spouse ever get on your last nerve? If so, check out this sermon, “For Better for Worse - Biblical Principles for Resisting the Spirit of Offense.” I’ll provide three questions that if you’ll ask yourself sincerely the next time you feel yourself getting angry or hurt could revolutionize your relationships! Podcast Show Notes: "For Better for Worse - Biblical Principles for Resisting the Spirit of Offense" Introduction: Explore the sermon "For Better for Worse - Biblical Principles for Resisting the Spirit of Offense" as we tackle the common struggle of offense in relationships. Uncover three crucial questions that promise to revolutionize how you approach anger and hurt in your connections. I. Understanding the Spirit of Offense The spirit of offense is not an external force but an internal bitterness rooted in our sin nature. It thrives on irritability and a reluctance to embrace radical forgiveness. Recognizing that many issues stem from within, the remedy lies in repentance. II. Beyond Offense: Nurturing a Spirit of Offense Distinguishing between being offended and possessing a spirit of offense is crucial. The latter occurs when we nurse and foster offenses rather than addressing them. Discussion on how a root of bitterness can impact not only us but those around us (Hebrews 12:15). III. Resisting the Spirit of Offense: Three Key Questions Mismanaged Expectations:Openly discuss expectations to ensure fairness. Explore the mutual responsibility of managing expectations. Emotions like sadness, anger, anxiety, and shame may arise when expectations are not met. Examining My Own Faults:Avoid hypocrisy by examining one's faults before criticizing others. Acknowledge personal sin when critical of others. Recognize that addressing personal faults contributes to healthier relationships. Identifying What I Cling To:Reflect on Philippians 2:5-6, emphasizing letting go of personal rights. Recognize underlying issues such as pride, comfort, attention-seeking, or selfishness. Submit identified issues to Christ for transformation. Conclusion: Christian relationships involve two individuals undergoing sanctification. Offenses are inevitable, making biblical handling essential. Solutions often involve overlooking minor issues, as it is a glory to do so (Proverbs 19:11). When faced with offense, ask these three questions and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance. https://wildwoodchurch.com/sermons/
