Wonder Church

Our heart at Wonder Church is to empower people to be everything they were made to be.  This statement points to our passion for disciples making and wholistic and healthy spirituality.  At the foundation of all of our beliefs and practice stand the Bible.  Yet, few people read the Bible and even fewer know how to read the Bible.  Therefore, in this series, we won't just read the entire book...

Easter is a pretty weird holiday.  You have eggs, bunnies, and Jesus raising from the dead.  Though there were no bunnies or eggs on the first Easter, 2000 years ago, it was still a pretty weird day.  The Gospel of Luke tells us that some of those who first heard that Jesus rose from the dead thought it was an "idol tale. And they did not believe it." But, in this message, we will go and...

Do you ever go on vacation and feel like you need a vacation from your vacation? Like, no matter what you do, you just can seem to rest well?  In this message, we study the ancient practice of "sabbath" and discover God's design for resting the right way.

How can we live in this crazy world and still be people that are fully present with God and others?  To find the answer, we look at the life of Daniel.  Daniel lived in ancient Babylon and was fully integrated into the city, yet he maintained his faith.  As a result, his life became a testimony to the entire ancient world, and even today, we are still inspired by his life.  What we find in Daniel&...

Do you struggle with doubt?  Good news, your not alone.  In this message, Dr. Alan Ehler address doubt in the life of a Jesus follower.  We look at the life of Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples, who is known for his doubt.  We will discover that doubt is common to everyone but it does not have to be the end of the story.

We believe that God offers His people a kind of peace that the world cannot give.  However, even if someone gives their life to Jesus and becomes a Christian, they may not experience this peace in their life.  Why?  This is because we must also "live according to the Spirit".  In this message, Madison and Lauren explain Romans 8:5 and give practical examples of how we can have spirit-led...

Do you ever feel hurried?  like you can't slow down?  Every time you sit in silence you are bombarded with anxious thoughts?  We live in a world that is fast paced and can easily suffocate the soul and leave us spiritually shallow, if not empty.  God instucts us in his word to "come away from her" (Babylon, the great city that represents spiritual depravity).  But, to do so means jo...

Our heart at Wonder Church is to empower people to be everything Jesus made them to be.  We envision people being filled with God's Spirit, moving with authority, confidence, compassion, and power, and saying "yes" to Jesus in their every day lives.  God gave the Church the task to bringing the Gospel into the world - to make disciples.  This is our goal, our task, our assignment. ...

"For everything, there is a season."  Life facilitates different seasons.  Instead of getting upset when it's not the season we prefer, we should embrace our season.  We can do this by discerning it, stewarding it, and differentiating it. Our encouragement from God, which allows us to embrace the season we are in, is that, even though season change, our God does not.  When He is the...

Today, we study Ephesians 2:10 and a parable found in Matthew 25.  We embrace the calling of God to become everything you were made to be, nothing less and nothing more.

Pastor Josh Hebert brings a message about an encounter he had with God that changed his life.  Through one simple declaration, his entire world came into order.  That declaration is found in Romans 10:9, "Jesus is Lord."

In this message, we celebrate two years of ministry as a church.  We have seen God do incredible things in us and through us.  However, just like the Israelites, it's easy to forget what God has done and loose faith in Him.  This is why it is important to slow down, build alters, tell stories, and write down the things that God does. Doing so builds our spiritual vitality while serving as a t...

At Wonder Church, we believe in the sanctity of life.  But, why?  What does the Bible say about abortion, when life begins, and the value of human life?  In this message, we study the Bible and uncover a systematic theology of life - God sees human life as intrinsically valuable.

When we first started Wonder Church, we received many calls asking the question, "what does the Bible say about homosexuality?"  Since then, we have continued to hear this question and others related to it. This message is a biblical response to the question of homosexuality along with some associated questions.  We will see God's design for sex and his response to our sexual broken...

Interpreting the Bible is a difficult task.  However, it is the work of all who seek to know God.  However, beneath the doctrines that come from biblical interpretation, this is a question: What is the Bible?  In this message, we will seek to answer this question along with others so that we can confidently move forward in task of biblical interpretation. 

Did you know that there is a Grinch in the Bible?  His name was Herod.  And, on the first Christmas morning, He tried to steal baby Jesus!  The enemy has always been trying to steal Jesus from the world.  In this episode, Pastor CJ brings a Christmas morning message that encourages us to identify how the enemy has tried to steal Jesus from us and how we can safe-guard what God is doing in our live...

In this special online only message, the eldership team of Wonder Church reflects on what God has done in Wonder in 2022.  We also turn our attention to His voice to seek guidance for the new year.

Do you ever find that you feel rushed?  In this message, we study the meaning of the promise from the angels that appeared to the shephared's on the night of Jesus birth.  We will discover that the peace that Jesus brings, comes to us and flows through us into the world around us.

Have you ever been disappointed by God?  Surprisingly, the story of the birth of Jesus is filled with disruption and disappointment.  The only ones who felt the magic of the nativity scene were those who were not a part of it.  Perhaps the one who was most disappointed of all was Joseph.  In this message we will discover hope in the message that an angel gave Joseph in the midst of his disappointm...

As we conclude the Idol Factory Series, we turn to a story in Daniel 3.  We discover that idolatry effects everyone.  We all have a god that we worship.  Therefore, the question we must ask is this - is our god enough to save us?  Through our study in Daniel 3, we will discover that there is no other god who can rescue like Jesus.

In this message, we do a case study of idol forging in the story of Israel's idolatry found in Exodus 32.  We will discover the context in which idols are made, and the solution that all of humanity is looking for.

In this special message, Pastor Madison and Lauren talk about how to face adversity and come out on the other side as pure gold.

What do you love?  God wants us to love his creation and made us to love each other, but we get into trouble when that love becomes disproportionate.  In this message, we tackle the subject of idolatry.  We will find that idolatry is pervasive in the human heart and the only antidote is the love we were made for.

How do we know when to hold on to a relationship, or when to let go?  In this final message in this series, we will study 1 Corinthians 5 and discover that we are responsible for the level of toxicity that we allow in our relationships.

Life sometimes feels like a balancing act.  When it comes to our relationships, we can sometimes swing between codependency and isolation.  It may come as a surprise, but the Bible gives us instruction on how to strike a perfect balance in our relationships, avoiding codependency and isolation.  In this message, we will discover what that balance is.
