This powerful exploration of Isaiah 6 confronts us with a transformative truth: seeing God as He truly is changes everything. We learn that God's primary method of revealing Himself to the world isn't through spectacular visions for everyone, but through transformed people who carry His presence into their everyday lives. The messenger becomes the message. When we truly see Jesus in His beauty and...

This powerful message centers on the Hebrew concept of 'hineni' - meaning 'here I am' - a phrase that appears throughout Scripture as a radical declaration of complete availability to God.  The profound truth here is that 'hineni' means presenting ourselves to God with no conditions, no negotiations, and no demands for comfort or convenience. This isn't casual commitment - it's wholehearted surren...

This powerful message invites us to discover the profound freedom that comes from abiding in Christ and surrendering to His perfect plans for our lives. Drawing from Psalm 138, we're reminded that the Lord will perfect what He has begun in us, His faithful love endures forever, and He will not abandon what He has created. The message powerfully connects Isaiah's vision of the crucified King with o...

This powerful exploration takes us deep into Isaiah 6, where the prophet encounters God in a vision that leaves him utterly undone. What did Isaiah see that caused such a profound response? The answer unfolds through a breathtaking journey across Scripture, revealing that Isaiah beheld the Lord 'high and lifted up' - not merely in royal splendor, but in the ultimate act of self-sacrifice on the cr...

Enjoy Apostle Dave Carey's sermon on how coming in to contact with God changes and redeems you, setting you on a path of absolute truth in Christ. Let the reading and studying of God's word move you to fulfill his purpose in your life.

The sermon explores Jesus' compassion for the weary and scattered multitudes, and His urgent call for us to pray earnestly for laborers in His harvest field. It examines how Jesus invites us to become friends who partner with Him in prayer, not casual prayer, but the kind of urgent, beseeching prayer that moves heaven. The message challenged us to embrace God's heart not only for all nations but s...

WOL Family give a warm welcome to Pastor Israel from Israel! Enjoy his exposition of the scriptures as he gives us a good way of interpreting modern events through the lens of the scripture.

The message connects Jesus's compassion to the prophetic words in Ezekiel 34, where God rebukes shepherds who failed to care for His people and promises to become the shepherd Himself. This is exactly what Jesus did; He became the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep. The cross becomes the ultimate expression of this compassion, where Jesus embraced brokenness so we could become whole. T...

This powerful message from Guest Speaker, Michael Murphy centers on a crucial question that shifts our perspective from speculation to preparation: instead of asking if we are living in the end times, we should ask if we are living ready. Drawing from Matthew 25, the parable of the ten virgins and Mark 12, great commandment, we are challenged to understand that keeping our lamps burning requires i...

Blessed Sunday WOL! Following the conclusion of our Ephesians series, Pastor Chris follows up by giving us a teaching on how to increase our CAPACITY for: 1. Expectations 2. Relationships 3. Excellence and 4. Pain. These are all aspects of faith for the daily life of a Christian; how do you pray when things are going bad for you?, how are you fellowshipping with those around you?, how do you labor...

WE ARE BACK IN EPHESIANS! Enjoy this exposition on how to live a humble life before God. While often times the world may perceive the virtue of humility as a weakness, we as Christians know that Jesus embraced a humble posture all the way to the cross, the greatest show of strength in all of human history.

This Palm Sunday, we receive an exhortation from the Holy Scriptures delivered by Apostle Dave Carey, founder of WOL. In this message, he provides historical context for Jesus’ triumphant and prophetic entry into the city of Jerusalem—an event that would ultimately lead to His arrest, trial, and crucifixion for the remission of our sins. Palm Sunday stands as one of the most iconic moments in Jesu...

This Sunday Pastor Chris continues the theme of "Submitted Relationships" started last week by Pastor Dana. This sermon continues to highlight the beauty of relationships that are within the covenantal bounds instituted by God, Pastor Chris also adds historical context to the people Saint Paul would have been writing to in his time, referencing how revolutionary his teaching breathed out by the Sp...

In this sermon Pastor Dana concludes Ephesians 5 as she reflects on her upcoming 30 year anniversary with Pastor Chris! She delivered a powerful message of what it means to have relationships (of all kinds) submitted to Christ. Sometimes messages like these are so profound that they can be encompassed in one verse "Submit to one another out of reverence to Christ" (Ephesians 5:21)

The Ephesians series continues! In this message, Pastor Chris shares some concluding thoughts on what it truly means to walk worthy before God. Earlier in the series, he highlighted how Paul the Apostle, in his Epistle to the Ephesians, first lays a strong foundation by describing the incredible gifts that have been given to believers. After establishing these truths, Paul shifts the focus to how...

Another Sunday, another message in Ephesians! This week, Pastor Chris continues unpacking chapter 4, drawing powerful parallels to the Old Testament priestly garments described in Exodus. He explains how what was once a physical reality under the old covenant now carries a deep spiritual meaning in the new covenant. Referencing 1 Peter, where the apostle Peter calls believers “priests,” Pastor Chr...

In light of Pastor Chris' absence this Sunday, as he ministers on the West Coast, we received the message from Pastor Dave Shanosk. Pastor Dave builds upon the ongoing theme of walking worthy in Christ, the spiritual gifts received by believers, and the call to put on the new man. All who have accepted Christ are now set apart to live a consecrated and holy life for God — abandoning the ways of th...

After learning how to walk worthy in the previous two weeks, we now pivot to spiritual gifts and how they are distributed throughout the body of Christ (his church). In this sermon Pastor Chris goes over the 5-fold gifts given to the church- Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, and Teacher, and how these gifts all contribute to the maturity of the body by edifying in love to one another. Give g...

This Sunday we stay in Ephesians 4 where Pastor Chris builds off of Pastor Dana's message from the previous week. The primary passage focused on in this message is Ephesians 4: 1-7; where Pastor Chris highlights the redeeming power of the Gospel brining in life and light to all the nations, therefore with that in mind we should be 'walking out' the faith in accordance with what Christ has given us...

After last weeks pre-recorded messages with guest minister Samuel Whitefield and Pastor Chris, we are back in the book of Ephesians. Pastor Dana camps out in chapter 4 of the book, where Paul lays out the riches (spiritually) which are gifted to those in Christ, showing us how by receiving these riches we should now "walk out" our faith, that by unity with both the Holy Spirit and the body of Chri...
