WRC Sermon of the Week

In this sermon, Pastor Lee discusses the concept of blessings and curses, explaining that blessings are God's default setting and represent flourishing and abundance. He introduces the Law of First Mention, showing how the first biblical appearance of 'blessing' in Genesis establishes its meaning as being fruitful and multiplying. The pastor emphasizes that all blessings come from God as an expression of His love, and that God has ...

This sermon discusses the armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-20, comparing it to the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster where a small breach in the heat shield led to catastrophic failure. The message emphasizes that Christians are in a spiritual war against a methodical enemy (the devil) who seeks to destroy us. The pastor outlines four realities of spiritual warfare: we have an adversary, we are in a war, we have a solution (the full ...

Pastor Andy shares a powerful message about the importance of worshiping before battles in our lives, using the story of Jehoshaphat from 2 Chronicles 20. When three armies were coming against Jehoshaphat, he sought God through prayer and worship. God instructed them to send singers ahead of the army, and as they began to worship, God fought the battle for them, causing the enemy armies to destroy each other. Pastor emphasizes that...

God sees us differently than the negative labels we often wear. When we belong to Christ, everything about us is made new according to 2 Corinthians 5:17. Like Gideon, who was called a mighty warrior while hiding in fear, God speaks to our future calling rather than our present circumstances. To embrace our true identity, we must let God define us, refuse to be confined by our past, and know that God stands behind us. By tearing do...

The sermon focuses on the importance of compassion in Christian life, using the parable of the Good Samaritan as its central text. The pastor identifies three main 'compassion assassins' - pride, agendas, and labels - that prevent people from showing true compassion to others. He emphasizes that compassion is not just about seeing someone in need, but feeling their pain and taking action to help them, regardless of their background...

This sermon focuses on the power of faith and its application in three major life areas: finances, health, and family. Bro. Lee emphasizes that faith is the most powerful force in the world, but it must be properly understood and applied. He explains that faith differs from hope (which is future-focused) and must be exercised in the present. After reading 380 prayer cards, he identified these three areas as the most common prayer r...

The sermon discusses the significance of Pentecost, both historically and spiritually, drawing parallels between the first Pentecost at Mount Sinai and the New Testament Pentecost in Acts 2. The pastor emphasizes how God's timing and plans may differ from our expectations, but His consistency remains throughout scripture. The message highlights the transformation from the first Pentecost, where 3,000 died due to disobedience, to th...

Time with children is precious and limited, with only 936 weeks from birth to age 18. Children hear approximately 148,000 negative messages by age 18, making positive parental influence crucial.

Parents must be intentional about using their time wisely to bu...

This sermon focuses on Paul's letter to the Colossians, specifically the first 14 verses, outlining three elements of a powerful church. The pastor discusses how Paul praises the church for loving in the spirit of God, prays for them to find God's will, and prepares them for battle in the kingdom of God. He illustrates unconditional love through a personal story about hurricane relief efforts and emphasizes the importance of follow...

The sermon focuses on the power of joy and its importance in Christian life. The pastors emphasize that joy has medicinal properties, producing four 'happy chemicals' in the brain (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins) that benefit physical and mental health. They explain that true joy comes from focusing on God rather than circumstances, and that the ultimate source of joy is knowing one's name is written in the Book of L...

This sermon focuses on how church hurt and other emotional pain can physically affect the body through three types of separation: from God, from self, and from others. The speakers explain how negative thoughts and emotions produce chemicals in the brain that can cause physical illness, while positive emotions can promote health. They use Einstein's E=MC² formula to illustrate how emotional energy converts to physical matter in our...

This sermon focuses on dealing with bitterness, particularly through church hurt and betrayal by close friends or family. Using the biblical story of David and Ahithophel, the pastor illustrates how bitterness can poison both the person holding it and those around them. Ahithophel, who was Bathsheba's grandfather, harbored bitterness toward David for 20 years after David's actions with Bathsheba and Uriah, ultimately leading to Ahi...

Church hurt can create deep wounds that prevent us from experiencing God's full purpose. Through a biblical framework of pausing, pondering, praying, and participating, healing and restoration are possible. When we take time to be still, reflect on God's work, seek His guidance, and take action on His direction, we can find peace that surpasses understanding. This path leads to renewed purpose and the ability to use our spiritual g...

Murmuring manifests as a secret displeasure that isn't openly expressed, similar to gossip but done quietly and often under the breath. This subtle form of complaining keeps wounds alive by continuously breathing life into past hurts instead of allowing healing to take place. It breaks God's direct commandment and prevents Christians from being effective lights in the world, while attracting and creating groups of wounded people. I...
