Wonder Church

Are you looking for the place you belong? We believe that you belong in "the body of Christ", His Church. But, what does that mean? and, how can we be a part? This is what 1 Corinthians 12 is all about.

Politics today is one of the most controversial, divisive and confusing topics. But, If Jesus is Lord of our life, this must include our politics. In this message, we will try to answer this difficult question, "How can we honor Jesus in politics?"

In this message we study the famous text from Paul concerning the Last Supper. We find that participating in the practice of communion does not mean that we are participating with the Spirit of the Supper. To do this, we must understand God's heart: It's not the vessel that matters, but what you fill it with.

The issue of head coverings is still relevant today - more conservative circles hold to certain protocols, others have none at all. But, beneath the issue is a timeless principle that supersedes all our traditions and protocols. Listen to find out.

What does it really mean to be united in Christ? This question is even more important in a world in which community is difficult to find and keep. But, the answer to this question invites us to participate in the depth of relationship with others that we were originally made for.

It sounds too easy, but the truth is, a word of encouragement can lift up a heavy heart. If you are discouraged, this message is for you. If you want to become an encourager, this message is for you.

In this section of 1 Corinthians, Paul uses Israel's history to warn us about temptation to sin. He also encourages us with the reality of God's presence and provision with us whenever we face trials and temptations of different kinds.

Paul uses his own life as an example for us. Discipleship is not just about learning to follow Jesus, its about actually doing the things He wants us to do. This is what it means to run with purpose in every step, instead of just going through the motions.

Have you ever come to a morally gray area? How do you resolve questions about what is ok or not, when the answer isn't clear? In this chapter, Paul addresses a gray area for the church of ancient Corinth. We will discover that it is better to surrender your freedom for the sake of others than to exercise it at their expense.

Jesus changes how we do relationships. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul addresses two questions that he had previously received from the Corinthians. His answers give us direction on how to move forward in our relationships. We discover that we because we are so loved in our relationship with God, we can love others well too.

We are living in a sexual revolution. Our culture is sex-saturated. Yet, the God's plan for sex is very different than we might expect. In 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, we discover that our bodies are sacred and we ought not to settle for casual sex. Instead, we should honor God with our bodies and only engage in sex in the context of marriage.

Paul addresses the issues of church members sewing each other. He tells us that the church should be able to settle disputes within the community instead of seeking justice from a corrupt judicial system. He then echos the teachings of Jesus, "Why not just accept the injustice...?" This hard teaching reveals a core truth in Christianity - if our lives are built on something we don't...

In this tough chapter of 1 Corinthians, we discover the secret of healthy communities: boundaries. Paul gives us two reasons why boundaries and discipline are essential: for the sake of the individual and the community.

Guest speaker Pastor Elaine Jones brings a message about parenting in the modern age.

We study 1 Corinthians 4. In this chapter, Paul describes the role of the Christian leader as a servant. These attributes describe can be applied to all Christians everywhere and drastically changes our approach to our leaders and each other.

We continue our study of 1 Corinthians, now entering chapter 3. Here, Paul shows us the key to ending childlike bickering - security in all that God has done.

This is an expository study of 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. In these scriptures, Paul tells us that the wisdom of God can only be revealed by His Spirit. All who have His Spirit, can understand His wisdom. They have the mind of Christ.

In this message, we kick off our study of 1 Corinthians.  In this first section, Paul addresses one of the problems in the church of Corinth - division. The source of the division seems to come from people comparing different Christian communicators based on their eloquence and wisdom. Paul shows the Corinthians that this is a ridiculous thing to do, since none of us came to Christ because of mere...

Every good father wants the best for their children. Father God wants this for all of us. But, in order for us to be everything he made us to be, we have to be brave and courageous in the face of opposition. How can we keep going, no matter what comes our way? By finding our security in the Father's love.

There are two reasons that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church on the day of Pentecost: to build up the church and witnessing to the world. Peter is an example of someone who was changed by the Holy Spirit. He went from not witnessing to a little girl out of fear, to boldly preaching to thousands of people on the streets of Jerusalem. Just like Peter, the Holy Spirit gives us power on pur...

Have you ever met someone who says they are filled with the Spirit of Jesus and yet acts like a demon? How is it possible for someone to opporate in the gifts of the Spirit but not have any of the fruit of the Spirit? In this message, we will discover that both gifts and fruit are works of the Spirit, but one is far more important than the other. God values character over charisma.  

We may have heard of the Holy Spirit or even been in a service or a church where we "felt" the power of the Spirit. Or, maybe we have never heard of the Holy Spirit and know nothing about it. You may be surprised to learn that the Holy Spirit is involved in your life even before you may chose to follow Jesus. So often we reduce the Holy Spirit only to His power. But today, we will learn...

The day of Pentecost was the day that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church in the book of Acts. We. believe that the baptism of the Spirit is still available to believers today and it is a gift we do not have to be afraid to open.

In this special mother's day message, Pastor CJ and Nicole discuss one of the most powerful characteristics of God: His ability to see us, not just as we are, but as we could be. This same trait dwells in all believers and is essential as we lead and disciple our church, families, kids, and world.

Money can make or break your calling. Often times, money can become the greatest burden we carry as we try to run the race God marked out for us. This happens when money is our master. Many is a bad master, but it's also a great servant. But, in order for money to serve the purposes of God in our lives, we must order it.
