Wonder Church

Do you ever find some people difficult to love?  What if there was one thing that we knew about everyone that could change how we relate with them?  In this message, we will unpack a single biblical truth that, once we accept it, changes everything: People are intrinsically valuable.

"Blessed are the peacemakers" is one of the most misunderstood passages in the gospels.  What did Jesus mean by this statement?  Does it mean that we are to be pacifists or pretenders?  On the contrary, in this message, we will discover the powerful truth of this passage: we must embrace conflict as the pathway to peace.

Wonder Church welcomes Dr. Don Ross, Network leader for the Northwest Ministry Network.  In this message, Dr. Ross takes us through an expository study of the famous story of the Prodigal Son.  As we dive in, we will discover that prodigal may not just be the son that leaves home, but the one who stays.

In todays message, we learn from the story of Job.  Life is full of disappointments and struggles.  It is easy to let those things cloud our vision till it's all we can see.  But, the truth about God's sovereignty is that we can have hope no matter what the obstacle is that we face.  

As we conclude our study in the book of Ephesians, we look at the armor that a new believer is invited to carry.  We take a historical look at each piece of armor to discover the unique traits they offer the one who has become alive in Christ - a new human.

In this message, we look at Ephesians 4:17-5:20.  Here, Paul unloads the effect that the Gospel has on our identity and behavior.  The truth of the Gospel is the foundation for the life of a Christian.

In this message, Pastor CJ leads an overview of Ephesians and points out the sobering truth about this church found at the end of the Bible in Revelation 2.  The church in Ephesus is a prime example of one of the most dangerous tendencies of the human heart - to wander from the first love of God.  We will see how important this issues is to God, and how to become a church that really loves Jesus.

In today's message we hear Pastor Garrick as he unpacks Ephesians 4:1-16.  We will discover that value of the gathering of Christians into local groups commonly known as: church.  It is inside of this community that every part finds its place and together grow into everything Jesus planned for us to be.

In this message, we study Ephesians 2:1-10.  What is the Gospel?  Is it a type of music?  A type of church?  A title of literature?  As we study Ephesians, we come to Paul's summery of the gospel.  We will discover the 3 essential elements of the good news of Jesus Christ.

In this message, we study Ephesians 1:15-23.  One of the most inspiring things to witness is an elderly couple with years of relationship under their belt, still deepening in their knowledge and relationship with each other.  In verses 1:15-23, Paul prays that God would empower his readers to deepen in their relationship with God.  The result is an increased level of confidence in life and an abil...

In this series, we are studying Ephesians.  In this message, we look at Ephesians 1:3-14.  For many of us, being controlled or controlling others is the greatest evil on the planet.  Instead, we want to be in control of ourselves.  If we all were our own authority, we would have peace.  But, in this message, we discover the truth about such a perspective.  As we continue to study Ephesians, we lea...

We believe that Jesus has a purpose for your life.  However, it is all too easy to get out of step with that purpose.  In this message, we begin a summer long series studying the book of Ephesians.  We will see how God moved powerfully in the ancient city of Ephesus.  Yet, the sobering truth is, no matter how powerful the encounter was, we all have to fight to live out our God given purpose.
