Ward Church Podcast

This Easter Sunday, we celebrate Jesus' statement: "I am the resurrection and the life!" Jesus, who conquered death for all, welcomes us all to accept His free gift of eternal life!

Pastor Scott shows us what Jesus meant when He said, "I am the vine," and what it means to be grafted into God's family!

Pastor Terence Gray helps us see Jesus as the gatekeeper to God. Through conversations Jesus had with His disciples, we'll catch glimpses of heaven and life everlasting with God the Father.

Pastor Scott helps us understand better, what it means when Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd." Although our culture is much less agrarian than it was in Jesus' day, it's not too difficult to glean some timeless truths about our relationship with Christ from this illustration.

Pastor Scott McKee teaches us about what Jesus meant when he said "I am the door." There are many "doors" we may encounter in life, but only one door that leads to a joyous life now and an eternal life with God.

Mark teaches us that we need God's light to show us the way. When we lean on our own understanding and try to cast our own light, we end up fumbling in the dark.

Pastor Scott outlines that when Jesus describes himself as "The Bread of Life" that He is teaching us that we need Him, we can have Him, and that He is good.

Justin + Trisha Davis talk about the importance of reconciliation in relationships and how that leads to breakthrough and healing.

Pastor Scott continues guiding us in The Miracle Moment sermon series, to help us see how fear can erode relationships. He shows us through God's word and the life of Christ how perfect love casts out all fear.

Pastor Terence teaches us that by finding our worth in God we can set aside our self interests and love differently.

Pastor Scott helps us see how, from the beginning of creation and through the doctrine of the Trinity, we can learn more about ourselves by understanding more about God, in whose image we are made.

In the opening message of this series, Pastor Nicole teaches us how to spot a miracle moment and reveals the necessary ingredients for an effective, loving and holy life in Christ, so that we can respond differently at critical junctures.

In this final message of "The Art of Desperation" sermon series, Pastor Scott shows us that having a "desperate" posture before God can actually be a good thing.

Pastor Terence shows us that everyone is carrying a burden, and encourages us to place those burdens in God's hands.

Pastor Scott continues the Art of Desperation by teaching that as desperate people, we must learn to lament. Lament is the prayer language for God’s people as they live in a world marred by sin. To cry is human, but to lament is Christian.

Pastor Terence teaches us that God isn't against planning, but he does not endorse planning that leaves him out of the plan.

Pastor Scott's message addresses a felt need that is rippling across our nation and world right now: weariness. As we decide whether to accept, change or seek wisdom in all we are facing, it's undeniable that weariness may also be present in whatever decision you face.

Pastor Scott teaches us about the Magi, who had some serious decisions to make on their road to finding the Christ child.

Pastor Scott helps us meditate on the second phrase of the Serenity Prayer: “Courage to change the things I can.” He will help us face our own fears, as well contemplate some of Joseph’s from the Christmas story.

Pastor Scott spends time examining the elements of the Serenity Prayer, starting with the first part that reads: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." Pastor Scott invites us to consider Mary’s story and her choices, from the perspective of this prayer.

God sent the minor prophet, Malachi, to the nation of Israel to set them straight on the road with God. But was that a message only for those people, at that time? Nicole Unice preaches on the timeless words of Malachi, and how his message then is a message that's relevant to us today.

Pastor Terence preaches from the book of the minor prophet, Haggai, and shows us that God gave him a mission to pass on to Israel's leaders: rebuild the Temple. Easy enough, right? But like many of us, knowing what God has told us to do and accomplishing it can be two very different things.

Pastor Scott guides us through the book of the minor prophet, Zephaniah, whose name means “the Lord hides.” In this context, it means the Lord "hides" us from trouble and protects us from the damaging winds of the storms of life IF we learn to trust and obey Him. Are we trusting in God, or other things, to "hide" us?

Do you look around this world and shake your head, or your fist, dismayed at what you see happening and wonder where God is, and what He's doing in the midst of so much sin and injustice? If so, then you're in good company with the minor prophet, Habakkuk. Pastor Terence guides us through the writings of this "philosopher prophet."
