Wellington Heights Community Church

This Christmas Eve sermon reflects on the mystery of the Incarnation—God-with-us—who enters not perfection, but the real and complicated conditions of human life. Exploring the “scandal of particularity,” we are invited to notice how God meets us right where we are; with love.

In this final week of Advent, we reflect on love as the foundation of generous living. Advent means “coming” or “arrival,” a season that invites us into waiting, trust, and preparation as we remember the long hope for the Messiah fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Centered in Matthew 1:18–25, we witness Joseph’s quiet obedience, courage, and compassion. His love becomes an embodied act of generosity...

What if today we hear John’s call—Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near—not as a threat of impending condemnation, but as an invitation? Listen in as we consider that repentance is not primarily about fear, but about embracing a way of being that reflects what Jesus is about.

In Week 1 of Advent, we reflect on the theme of Hope and the invitation to ground our generosity in God’s own generous heart. For generations, God’s people waited for the promised Messiah, and in Jesus’ arrival we see the fullness of God’s faithfulness, abundance, and love. Advent means “coming” or “arrival,” and during this season we take on a posture of waiting, preparing, and paying attention....

On today’s episode, we explore Isaiah’s vision of God’s “Peaceable Kingdom”, a world renewed, restored, and made whole by God’s peace. Join us as we imagine the future God invites us to hope for and embody today.

Join us as Pastor Keeyon shares a powerful message from Luke 19:1–10 (CEB), the story of Zacchaeus, a man who climbed a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus, only to find himself seen, known, and called by name. This episode invites us to reflect on what it means to be truly noticed by God and challenged to welcome His presence into every part of our lives.

On today’s episode, Pastor Keeyon’s message highlights Luke 18:1-8, CEB. Jesus was telling them a parable about their need to pray continuously and not to be discouraged. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. 3 In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him, asking, ‘Give me justice in this case against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he r...

During his time as a minister overseeing small group leaders, Pastor Keeyon sat down for lunch with one leader who had been faithfully serving the church since its beginning. He and his wife had led over a dozen groups, often with 20 or more people gathering in their home. From the outside, it looked like a life filled with connection. But when Pastor Keeyon asked him about friendship, his answer...

On this podcast episode you will be guided through an imagination activity, to imagine, to hope, to dream what it looks like to embody all that we have learned throughout the Immerse sermon series.

This epsiode is a reflective guide to the our collective experiences of the Derecho.

We believe that baptism is a gift from God. It is something God gives to us. St. Peter says that it is the mark of a good conscience toward God—that we are saved through the resurrection of Jesus. So when we are unsure, when we feel far from God and our conscience is a wreck, we can remember our baptism in Christ and what He promised through our faith in Him. Baptism isn’t something we do for God,...

This Summer series of Embodiment Sundays is inspired by Richard Foster who wrote in his book ‘Celebration of Discipline’: “Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.” This series will provide guides to grow deeper with...

On Pentecost Sunday, we invite you to engage in the sacred practice of Lectio Divina—a slow, prayerful reading of Scripture—as we reflect on the powerful imagery of wind, a symbol of God’s divine presence and movement. In the Pentecost story, the disciples are gathered in prayer, awaiting the promise of the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, a violent wind rushes in from the heavenly realm—a roar so overwhelm...
