Hardwired with Jeff Wickwire

What does our God do in a crisis? He shows up! That’s how we know He is real, He is present, and He loves us! Any other self-proclaimed god or made-up idol can’t do that because they're phonies! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will teach that God has proven He isn’t a phony since the beginning of time! God has been showing His very real power and His very real love towards His people since Adam wa...

I’m just gonna’ guess, but I don’t think any of us worship Baal. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have idols and gods of our own. We can put our trust in people, we can spend all our time on our phones, and we idolize anything…and I mean anything. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will recognize that you probably don’t worship Baal, but whatever you put your trust, time, and energy into can become an...

There are so many amazing things we can take from the life of Elijah, but one thing we often overlook is the bird. The raven that brought food over seven hundred times…I don’t know if you’ve ever seen wild animals eat food, but they don’t naturally want to share, yet here is this passage about the raven. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will connect the idea that if God can change the nature of a r...

We don’t know what tomorrow holds; we can plan our schedules, but only God can truly plan each day and account for each breath! If you’re hearing this, then you’ve been blessed with another day and have another opportunity to speak about Jesus, to worship Jesus, and to learn from Jesus! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will encourage you not to take a single breath for granted, because you never kn...

Every challenge we go through, every hard and tiring season, every anxious day, is not left unused! Everything we go through is for a reason, and it prepares us for the future blessings God has in store for us! Don’t be discouraged, because your struggles are used for molding you into a good servant! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will remind you that all you go through, everything easy and hard,...

In Old Testament times, only the High Priest had direct access to God’s Presence! And even then, there were purification rituals required to ensure that the priest was clean enough to enter into the Holy of Holies. But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is great news for all of those covered by the blood of Jesus! Those restrictions that applied to the Jewish High Priest no longer apply to y...

How often do your plans go sideways? Even when it comes to a single day, your plans can be upended by the unexpected circumstances of life. Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that Jesus was aware of the plan for His life, even from the beginning of creation! God knew that the Old Testament model of animal sacrifice would not be a lasting solution to restore the relationship between man and God. S...

Imagine an empty cup, and every time we, as a nation, sin, that cup starts to fill up; and once it's full, God’s judgment is fully released. That can be a really scary thing to think about, even just considering our own sin… let alone the sin of our whole nation. But Pastor Jeff will teach in today’s message that there is an answer; there is grace and freedom for you and me, and that's found in Je...

One of the main things you and I need to understand about Elijah is that he was a regular guy. He had no fame or great strength; all he had was his faith, and he brought a whole nation to its knees. Can you imagine a person like you or me bringing America to its knees? That would be unbelievable, and yet that's exactly what God did through Elijah. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will share that wi...

What does being rich mean to you? What does a rich person have? These questions, answered in a worldly manner, will include money and possessions, but answered with a godly mindset, it means having Jesus. He’s all you need, and if you have all you need, you’re rich! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will share that whether you’re well off or living paycheck to paycheck, if you have Jesus in your hea...

We live in a world where people are walking away from their faith, and people are misinformed about Christianity as a whole. This issue is caused by lukewarm Christians - people who are half-in, half-out with Jesus, because they don’t want to go all in, or they simply want to stay in their comfort zone. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will urge you to go all in with Jesus! He surely went all in fo...

No matter what the doors look like, God commands us to obey Him when He calls us to walk through or turn around and walk out. We must learn to recognize when God moves and to simply obey, because even as He opens and closes doors, we still have the freedom to choose. God is a waymaker, so He will provide a way, and then it’s up to you to follow or not. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will challeng...

Have you ever tried juggling? Well, the more balls you throw into your juggling routine, the harder the routine gets! In fact, the world record for most balls juggled at one time is eleven! Now imagine trying to juggle all Ten Commandments, much less the entire Law of Moses! It’s impossible to keep that up for very long! But Pastor Jeff reminds you today that there is a different way to achieve ri...

The Bible teaches us that when Jesus died, the great curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was torn in two. This curtain was a physical representation of the barrier that had gone up between man and God, thanks to the darkness of sin. But Pastor Jeff teaches us today that not only was Jesus able to pass through that barrier to commune with His Father, He was also able t...

God opens and closes a lot of doors! I’m sure we’ve all experienced this in life, where we get opportunities that can only be explained by God, or we’re taken out of situations or relationships that can only be explained by God’s protection! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will remind you of the most important door…the door of salvation! If you’ve walked through that door, then you know there is n...

Consistency, endurance, and faithfulness are all godly actions that we need more of! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will compare the Christian life to a marathon. We’re not to walk, and we’re not to sprint and then stop; we’re to treat it as a LONG run to the Father! Your goal is Jesus, and to get to Him, you need to stay on the narrow path; stay consistent in your obedience! Endure the hardships...

We can all admit that America is not perfect, and it’s in desperate need of change. Just like Sardis, we’re struggling with our morals, with idol worship, with our own disobedience to God. There is no use or reason to pretend that one side has all the answers or that one side is right; as a nation, America has failed. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff doesn’t want to bash America, but bring some muc...

Don’t we see the redefining of obvious truths in our world? People walk around thinking they’re different genders or that they’re a literal animal. The truth that God made each and every one of us just as He designed goes out the window so quickly. This spirit of Jezebel is so evident and influential still in today’s society; it continues to encourage the discarding of morals. In today’s message,...

This spirit of Jezebel is still something that affects people, churches, and communities. Jezebel has this hatred, this ability to manipulate and seduce, and to encourage other people into sexual sin. Jezebel taught that you can live in sexual sin, and God is okay with that.  Obviously, we know that is not true, and yet SO many people still struggle with this. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will...

Forgiving and forgetting are usually two different things. Forgiveness is something that you have to actively do, but forgetting can take weeks, months, or even years before that transgression is wiped from your memory. Well, in today’s message, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the Lord chooses to forget our sin! When we accept Jesus’ gift of forgiveness, our slates are wiped clean! We no longer have t...

It’s easy to get bored by the details in the Bible. Most of us probably don’t exactly remember the name of David’s great-great-grandfather, or how tall Noah’s Ark was. But Pastor Jeff reminds us today that those details are in Scripture for a reason. In the case of the Tabernacle, God wanted the dimensions and layout of that building to be very specific because it was meant to be a physical repres...

What does being the salt and light mean to you? How are you personally being salty, being different than those you work with? How are you being the light of Jesus when conversations turn to arguments or gossip? In today’s message, Pastor Jeff teaches that our little areas of compromise have allowed people to look down on the church and dismiss it. People never get the chance to hear God’s truth be...

There is no such truth that you can have the best of both worlds; that you can happily live on the fence, with one foot in Christianity and one foot in the world. It just won’t work out, because there is a serious moral conflict between what the world deems as acceptable and what Jesus commands is unhealthy. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will teach that the doctrine of Balaam is still working in...

In the book of Acts, Paul and Silas are thrown into prison in the city of Philippi. But instead of complaining to the Lord about their situation, these two faithful servants began to sing praises to the Lord! Soon enough, an earthquake struck, and the prison doors were thrown open! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the difficult times we face in this life are opportunities for us to grow in faith...

God doesn’t just know what’s going on in your life now, He knows what’s going on yesterday, tomorrow, last year, and ten years from now! While you and I deal with time as a straight line, the Lord sees the beginning and the end all at the same time. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to teach us that God knows what is going on at all times. When we face trials and tribulations, it’s not because...
