Wildwood Church Sermons

Unpack with us the biblical vision for church membership—not as a social club or casual association, but as active participation in the body of Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4, we see that God has arranged each believer to play a meaningful part in the local church, where growth, care, and unity happen. Baptism and gospel clarity are essential entrance points, and membership...

What began as joy and unity in Genesis 2 quickly unraveled into blame and brokenness in Genesis 3—but God’s promise of a Rescuer (Genesis 3:15) sparked hope and healing. By verse 20, we see a transformed Adam speaking life over his wife, showing how the gospel restores what sin has fractured. At Wildwood, we believe that same gospel still enters homes today, turning conflict into love and reflecti...

In this sermon, we explore what it means to be a biblical elder—men called to shepherd God’s people not by popularity or pragmatism, but by faithfully feeding them the Word of God. Drawing from Peter’s firsthand experiences with Jesus in Mark 6 and John 6 , we see how true compassion means telling the truth, even when it’s hard. Elders don’t exist to entertain the flock—they exist to lead with hum...

Daniel chose conviction over compromise. In this message from Wildwood Church, Elder Al Knott unpacks what it means to live a godly life in a godless culture — and challenges us to ask: Is my relationship with Jesus what He wants it to be? 📖 Daniel 1:8–17 🕊️ A call to obedience, integrity, and unshakable faith.

God designed men to lead their homes with Christlike love, humility, and strength. When that calling is neglected, families suffer—but when it’s embraced, everyone flourishes. In this sermon, we explore Ephesians 5:22–33 to recover the beauty of biblical headship and the powerful impact of faithful, godly leadership in the home.

In this powerful message, Pastor Brian calls men to rise to their God-given role as spiritual leaders in the home. Drawing from the creation account in Genesis, the sermon explores God’s design for family worship, the devastating consequences of Adam’s failure to guard the Garden, and the redemptive call for fathers today to lead, teach, and protect their families in faith. This is more than a cha...

This week we launched a four-week series on Family Worship , calling believers to restore daily worship in the home as a vital act of devotion. Rooted in Revelation 5, this sermon proclaims that God is worthy of continual praise—not just in church, but around our kitchen tables. With both inspiration and practical equipping, it challenges fathers in particular to embrace their sacred role as spiri...

What if everything you’ve ever hoped for—life after death, forgiveness, true purpose—hinged on one staggering claim? This sermon dives into the heart of Christianity’s boldest truth: that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. If it’s false, faith crumbles; if it’s true, everything changes. Read on to wrestle with the question that demands an answer: Do you believe He is risen—and worthy?

In this sermon, we concluded our series in Romans by exploring chapters 12–16, where Paul moves from explaining the Gospel to showing how it transforms our lives. True worship is offering ourselves as living sacrifices to God, which shapes how we treat others within the church. Paul calls believers to humility, love, service, and unity — emphasizing that a divided church hinders the mission of God...

Romans 9-11 reveals God’s sovereign plan of salvation, showing that righteousness comes not by lineage or works but through faith in Christ alone. Paul wrestles with the tension between divine election and human responsibility, ultimately affirming God’s justice, mercy, and wisdom in both Israel’s partial hardening and the inclusion of the Gentiles. This passage calls believers to humility, gratit...

In this powerful sermon on Romans 6-8 , we explore the believer’s transformation through faith in Jesus. Discover how true salvation not only secures our standing before God but also empowers us to break free from sin and walk in the Spirit. Learn what it means to be alive in Christ , why there is no condemnation for those in Him , and how we are more than conquerors through His love . Don't miss...

This sermon revisits the heart of the Gospel: we are all sinners, unable to save ourselves—but God, in His grace, justifies us through faith in Jesus. Our salvation isn’t earned; it’s a gift. Like Abraham, we are called to a faith that fully trusts God’s promises. This faith not only secures our eternity but transforms our present—giving us peace, hope, and strength in trials. No matter how great...

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Brian recaps Romans 1:18-3:24. The sermon reflects on the transformative power of Romans, a book that has profoundly impacted church history and continues to change lives today.

In this week's message, pastor Matt explores the transformative journey of becoming a devoted follower of Jesus, inspired by Luke 9:23-26. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and historical examples like Jim Elliot, this message will inspire you to overcome common barriers to spiritual growth and discover what it truly means to be all-in for Jesus.

In our society, each of us desires value in every facet of life; the way we think, the things we pursue, and the purpose for which we live. But because we are flawed by sin, we cannot trust ourselves to know what is truly of objective value. Jesus challenges us to consider what is truly of the greatest value in two short parables.

In a world rife with division and deception, Paul’s final words to the Romans call us to be vigilant, discerning, and steadfast in truth. Though the enemy may scheme to sow discord, we are not left defenseless—the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ sustains and strengthens us. And as we stand firm on the solid rock of His Word, we share in the promise that “the God of peace will soon crush Satan under...

Paul’s closing words in Romans 16 reveal a heart devoted not only to Christ but also to the people who labored alongside him in the gospel. He honors men and women, rich and poor, known and unknown, for their faithfulness—reminding us that what we do for Christ matters and will leave a lasting legacy. This sermon challenges us to live in such a way that when our names are spoken, they are remember...

Paul was a man consumed with the glory of Christ. His ambition was not for personal success or comfort, but to see Christ magnified where He had not yet been named. And yet, Paul understood something that we, too, must grasp—God’s mission is not just about those who go, but also about those who send, those who give, and those who pray.

Imagine standing before the throne of God, holding out an offering—not of gold or silver, nor of goats or bulls, but of lives transformed by the gospel; people who have been brought from darkness into light. This is the heart of Paul’s gospel ambition, and it should be the heartbeat of every believer. Romans 15:14-21

Unity in Diversity: The Power of the Gospel In a world often divided by culture, race, and background, how can we embrace unity? This week’s sermon dives into Romans 15:8-13, where Paul reminds us that the same Gospel that brought Jews and Gentiles together centuries ago still calls us to harmony today. Here’s what you’ll take away: 👉 Christ’s incredible humility as a servant for all. 👉 God’s un...

What if the way we welcome, love, and support one another could show the world the glory of God? 🙏 Romans 15:1-7 challenges us to bear with one another, build each other up, and strive for unity in Christ—because our oneness is mission-critical! ➡️ Strong in faith? Use your freedom to lift others up, not to please yourself. ➡️ Let’s kill judgment, seek understanding, and make room for others in o...

“Where two or three are gathered in my name,” Jesus says, “I am there.” Unfortunately, so is the opportunity to disagree and divide! Paul knew that when it comes to ambiguous matters, the church needed help navigating sometimes tumultuous waters. He calls us to pursue peace and willingly set aside liberties for the sake of our brothers. Romans 14:19-23 #connect4qc #Foundation #Romans #FaithInActio...

It's one thing to reflect back on trials of the past and rejoice over how the Lord worked it out. It's another to reflect on how God worked in previous trials and rejoice in the middle of one. Missionary Josh Dorrell shares his reflections on sufferings and calls us to rejoice even in the midst of our difficult times. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 #connect4QC #trials #rejoice #hope

The fact is the world is as weary today as it ever is. As much as I wish I could turn off the weary, I am comforted that Christmas doesn’t have to be problem-free for me to rejoice.
