WMBC - Sermons

We begin our summer series as WMBCers share personal stories of how God’s Word has spoken to them in the moments of their lives. This Sunday, Terry will share about the passing of his older brother, Chris, and the impact that has had on his family and his faith journey.  In the chaos of grief and loss, Psalm 139 became an anchor of hope. Just a head’s up that Terry will share (with sensitivity) on...

Join us this Sunday as Matt & Lisa Wiebe share a multi-generational story of life on mission as cross-cultural missionaries in the Dominican Republic. Matt & Lisa and their boys left early January 2026, and will share updates on their first six months in the mission field and the lessons God has been teaching on leaving a legacy.

This Sunday we explore the last words of David, and his legacy of faithfulness. David ranks as one of the key voices in the entire Bible, and it is from the line of David, that a king would come to rule on his throne forever, and usher in a new kingdom, the kingdom of God here on earth. We celebrate this Sunday, the incredible Kingdom story that we are living in, and all that God is doing in and t...

I frequently ask myself the question “what kind of person do you want to be when you’re seventy?” The choices that we make today impact our character and our futures. This week we’re going to look at the story of Saul, Israel’s first king. As we look at his story, we’ll see the expectation and hope that came with his ascension to power, and we’ll watch how poor choices and living in regret ultimat...

Though not a main character in the books of Samuel, Jonathan manages to have a big impact because of a trait he shares with God. This week, we look at the cost and reward of living a life of loyalty.

This Sunday we start a new study based out of 1 Samuel, examining the “last words” of key characters in the book. We start with Samuel, the last judge and the first major prophet. Samuel led through a time of moral chaos and helped transform Israel from a loosely knit group of tribes to a united nation. His last words come in the form of a question, “Have I ever cheated any of you?”

We have come to the end of the Sermon on the Mount! And if he began his message with tenderness, he ends with urgency.  How we respond to him and his teaching, says Jesus, will be the most important decision we ever make, and you must make a decision!  Jesus knows that life forces you to choose, and no decision is a choice.  You must decide what path you will take.  You must decide what voice you...

When we’ve grown impatient with the waiting, lost our stamina for persistence, what keeps us praying? What is Jesus’ response to those of us who find ourselves asking without receiving an answer, seeking without finding, knocking without being welcomed in? How does Jesus respond to the real, deep questions of those praying faithfully, waiting patiently, and beginning to grow weary? Come and find o...

Dogs, pearls, pigs, oh my! Jesus finishes off his teaching on judging with a riddle that is both confusing and uncomfortable, but holds an important truth for the times we feel we need to address a speck in our neighbour's eye. Let's press in together.

To judge or not to judge, that is the question...no seriously, that really is a question we face! If we are to truly love one another, we can’t just wash our hands and say, “It’s not my place to judge”, because it is our place to help. So how do we develop a non-judgmental way to care enough to confront and correct? This Sunday, we tackle one of the most famous and misunderstood statements of Jesu...

In Psalm 40, David writes "The Lord has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord." These words were a source of strength and hope for our youth team that traveled to Mexico over spring break and they also have the power to transform the way that we think about being a part of God's mission here in...

“What if the next generation isn't just the church of tomorrow, but they're the bold missionaries God is raising up today? In a world that’s quick to say "get a real job," "you're not qualified," or "you're too young," we've watched shy teenagers become fearless leaders, campers who have never heard of Jesus become passionate followers of him, and ordinary young people point hundreds of kids to Ch...

Do we consider Peter a villain in the Easter Story? Are you a villain in the Easter Story? This Sunday we reflect on three scenes from the life of Peter - even the greatest of saints has the potential to fall at any moment, and even greater, we’ll see the amazing love, care, and tenderness that Jesus offers to each one of us who returns to him. Who do you say I am?

What kind of vision do you have? Are you near-sighted, far-sighted? Do you have cataracts? Or, are you one of those people with perfect vision? On Good Friday, we look at the story of a man convinced he can see, but cannot see Jesus, or himself.

Have you ever tried to bargain with God? Use God as a means to your own ends? I think if we’re honest with ourselves, we’ve all tried to God to do what we want. This Sunday we explore the life of Judas, whose motives and betrayal set into motion the events that led to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. There’s a little Judas in all of us. 

We've spent most of this year listening to Jesus describe His Kingdom and how we can live with Him as our King. But what if we refuse? This Easter, we'll look at four people in the Easter story who refuse to loosen their grip on their own goals, their own purposes, their own kingdoms. Hopefully, we'll learn from their mistakes. This week, we look at Caiaphas, the high priest.

What do eyes and lamps have to do with money? What in the world is “mammon?” This week, we unpack some of Jesus most difficult to understand teachings on wealth. I’m not going to sugarcoat it; these will be hard for us to accept.

 “It is arguable that materialism is the single biggest competitor with authentic Christianity for the hearts and souls of millions in our world today” (Craig Blomberg). Jesus not only says that our heart will direct our actions, but also the reverse: our habits will shape our hearts. Where we direct our attention will, over time, shape who we become. It is perhaps for this reason, Jesus taught mo...

As Dallas Willard once said, “The gospel is less about how to get into the kingdom of heaven after you die, and more about how to live in the kingdom of heaven before you die.” In a world that feels increasingly tense, divided and overwhelming, what does it look like to be People of the Kingdom, Krista Heide will be joining us to explore the theme of evangelism in both theological and practical wa...

The life of Jesus, the writings of Scripture, the voice of the global church, and the teaching of the saints down through church history, all say in unison: fasting is essential and powerful. At the same time, fasting could be seen as the single most neglected spiritual practice in the modern, Western church. Let’s talk about it; see ya Sunday!

 Don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. These words of Jesus in Matthew 6:13 have built up and sustained the church for 2,000 years. With a cry that speaks to the human heart and a desire for God to step into our messes and trials to bring, Christians in 2026 join with the early church to simply ask God to rescue us. Join us this week as we dive into the final verse of...

We arrive at the only idea expressed in the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus thinks important enough to elaborate on after the prayer, forgiveness; perhaps hinting that the entire reason for praying this prayer in the first place is a daily cleansing away of all built-up resentments, failures, and accompanying shame. Join us this Sunday as we explore the power of forgiveness. 

In the third line of the Lord’s prayer, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray that God would provide “daily bread.” What does this mean? This week, we look at Bible translation mysteries, take a trip into the wilderness, and consider a surprising mindset that Jesus calls His disciples to adopt.

Who is your father is a question that many of us get asked on a regular basis. As followers of Jesus, its also a very important question for us to ask ourselves. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to call God “Father.” Our understanding of what it means for God to be our father directly impacts the way that we’ll pray to him. Join us on Sunday as we begin a series on prayer and learn about the...
