  1. 110.22.2026 - 03 - Pergamos - The Lax Church Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireThere is no such truth that you can have the best of both worlds; that you can happily live on the fence, with one foot in Christianity and one foot in the world. It just won’t work out, because there is a serious moral conflict between what the world deems as acceptable and what Jesus commands is unhealthy. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff will teach that the doctrine of Balaam is still working in our current society today. So beware, and be centered on Christ and Christ ALONE!!!26 min
  2. 210.21.2026 - 02 - Smyrna – The Loyal Church Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireIn the book of Acts, Paul and Silas are thrown into prison in the city of Philippi. But instead of complaining to the Lord about their situation, these two faithful servants began to sing praises to the Lord! Soon enough, an earthquake struck, and the prison doors were thrown open! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the difficult times we face in this life are opportunities for us to grow in faith and patience. Instead of seeing our trials as obstacles, let’s thank the Lord for yet another opportunity to grow!26 min
  3. 310.20.2026 - 02 - Smyrna – The Loyal Church Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireGod doesn’t just know what’s going on in your life now, He knows what’s going on yesterday, tomorrow, last year, and ten years from now! While you and I deal with time as a straight line, the Lord sees the beginning and the end all at the same time. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to teach us that God knows what is going on at all times. When we face trials and tribulations, it’s not because the Lord has abandoned us. He may be using these tough times to make us grow stronger in our faith!26 min
  4. 410.19.2026 - 01 - The Loveless Church Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireSome hobbies are hard to pick back up when you move on from them for a long time. You may get frustrated when you go to pick up that guitar again, only to realize that you don’t have the same amount of skill that you used to. But Pastor Jeff wants to remind you today that the most important thing you can do is to go back to the basics. If you’ve drifted away from Christ, the easiest way to get back to where you used to be is to return to the things that made you feel passionate for Jesus when you first started following Him!26 min
  5. 510.18.2026 - 08 - Melchizedek and Jesus Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireThe difference between the Levite priests and our great High Priest is like the difference between a single match and a lighthouse. A match will provide a little light and burn out quickly. But a lighthouse can cut through the darkness and guide ships safely to shore. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants you to recognize that the divide between man and God is too great for us to cross on our own, but our High Priest, Jesus, has bridged that gap forever with His gift of grace!26 min
  6. 610.17.2026 - 08 - Melchizedek and Jesus Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireEvery wicked and evil thing in this world has an expiration date! While injustice has reigned in this world for a long time, the Bible also tells us that there is a day coming when Jesus will make everything right. The Kingdom of God is one of justice and peace, and it will never come to an end! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the image of a King of justice and peace has existed since the book of Genesis, when Abram encountered Melchizedek, who, in his own right, was a king of justice and peace.26 min
  7. 710.16.2026 - 01 - The Loveless Church Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireThis world is full of surprises! Every single day, someone finds out that they’re expecting a child after years of infertility, a long-lost relative comes home, or an unexpected promotion happens in the workplace. But Pastor Jeff wants you to understand today that none of this comes as a surprise to God. As Jesus directs the apostle John to write letters to seven churches in Asia Minor, you’ll learn that Jesus already knows everything that was going on in their congregations, and He knows everything going on in your life.26 min
  8. 810.15.2026 - 13 - The Righteous Shall Shine Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireWhen you start taking antibiotics to fight an infection, you don’t get to see results right away. In fact, you may even get sicker before things start to turn around! In today’s message, Pastor Jeff wants to remind you that even though the world around us is lost in darkness and getting darker by the minute, that doesn’t mean that things are on that trajectory forever. The divide between good and evil will grow wider and wider as we approach the Last Days, but the Lord will still have the final victory.26 min
  9. 910.14.2026 - 13 - The Righteous Shall Shine Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireThe Lord has a habit of using the enemy’s own plans against him. In today’s message, we learn about the heavenly witnesses who will testify in Jerusalem during the Antichrist’s reign. Pastor Jeff teaches us that these witnesses will be under the Lord’s supernatural protection, and so even though they face violent attacks from those who hate the Lord, His name will still be glorified! Pastor Jeff wants us to recognize that even the Antichrist’s evil reign is part of God’s plan to restore order to the world.26 min
  10. 1010.13.2026 - 12 - The Longest Prophecy Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireNothing happens in this world without God knowing about it! While you and I think of time in terms of past, present, and future, it’s all the same to God! Pastor Jeff wants us to understand that He exists outside of time and space, and His plans for the world were made long before you and I were ever born! The Bible tells us exactly what is going to happen as our world hurtles into the last days. The best thing we can do is to read it, take it seriously, and warn others to repent of their sin!26 min
  11. 1110.12.2026 - 12 - The Longest Prophecy Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireHave you ever come across someone who seems to be perfectly placed in this world to oppose you? Well, Pastor Jeff wants to remind you today that the enemy wants to attack you, along with every other person who follows Jesus! Now, not every person who does you wrong is being influenced by a demon, but Satan does influence people to become stumbling blocks to keep believers from drawing closer to Jesus! Pastor Jeff encourages you to keep your eyes focused on Jesus as you resist the devil’s schemes.26 min
  12. 1210.11.2026 - 07 - God Cannot Lie Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireWhen you are buying a house, one of the most important things to do is to have the foundation inspected. A home with a poor foundation is going to have lots of problems over the years, if they aren’t there already! And if you don’t build your life on a good foundation, you will also see problems develop over time. Pastor Jeff reminds you today that God is the best foundation you could ever build your life on! You can trust Him with your entire life, and He will never lie or mislead you.26 min
  13. 1310.10.2026 - 07 - God Cannot Lie Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireHave you ever walked out of church and realized you already forgot what the sermon was about? The fact is that when we’ve been going to church for a long time, it can be easy to just sit in our seat and go through the motions, without taking the effort to grow in our relationship with Jesus. Well, Pastor Jeff encourages us to break out of that cycle! Instead of letting today’s message wash over you, take the time after this program to think about how you can apply what you learn to your daily walk with the Lord.26 min
  14. 1410.09.2026 - 11 - The Glorious Man Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireThe Bible reminds us that people have been living and dying for thousands of years. What one person may consider to be a lifetime is only a blip in the history of the universe. That’s why we shouldn’t be surprised when Pastor Jeff tells us that we’re living in the last days! There are signs around us that tell us that the world as we know it won’t stay the same for long. But we’re also reminded that the best is yet to come for this world, because after it’s all said and done, God will establish His eternal Kingdom!26 min
  15. 1510.08.2026 - 11 - The Glorious Man Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireIf you’ve been paying attention to this series on the book of Daniel, you know that God has been protecting Daniel since the very start! And God doesn’t just protect His children from fiery furnaces and hungry lions. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that there is a war going on in the spiritual realm, where God’s angels battle with the forces of hell to protect you from harm. For every story of God’s protection, there are hundreds more times where God saved us from attacks we didn’t even know about.26 min
  16. 1610.07.2026 - 10 - Daniel’s 70 Weeks Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireGod didn’t tell you the story of the whole world just so you could have some sort of special knowledge of the last days! Pastor Jeff reminds you today that you’ve been given this prophecy of the End Times so that you can warn others of the coming destruction. At the end of it all, the Lord is going to judge everyone who has ever lived, and those who lived in sin will face eternal separation from God. As we hurtle toward the Last Days, remember that time is running out to share the Gospel with others!26 min
  17. 1710.06.2026 - 10 - Daniel’s 70 Weeks Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireDaniel knew something about the corrupting power of sin that you and I would do well to learn today. See, sin corrupts everything and everyone it touches. Pastor Jeff reminds us today that even though Daniel does not have a single recorded instance of sin in the Bible, he was most certainly not perfect! His sin counted in God’s ledger just as much as the sins of those who had broken all Ten Commandments! All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and we all need a Savior.26 min
  18. 1810.05.2026 - 09 - A Ram, a Goat, and an Abomination Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwirePastor Jeff is right! The church isn’t holy because of the building it meets in. You’re not getting closer to God just because the lights were dimmed just right for the worship team and the coffee from the foyer was brewed at the perfect temperature. We’re reminded today that the church is holy because of the believers who gather within it to worship Jesus! You can make any space in this world into a holy place if you use it to gather believers into a time of worship, prayer, and fellowship.26 min
  19. 1910.04.2026 - 06 - The Danger of Apostasy Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireIt’s a somber thought to think that you could lose out on your salvation. After all, the Bible reminds you time and time again that nothing can separate you from the love of God! Well, Pastor Jeff teaches you today that those who have decided to reject Jesus outright have indeed shut themselves off from His saving power. Jesus isn’t a tyrant, and He won’t force someone who doesn’t want anything to do with Him into a relationship. But once you choose to reject Him, there’s no going back.26 min
  20. 2010.03.2026 - 06 - The Danger of Apostasy Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireHave you ever been betrayed by your closest friend? It can feel like a dagger to the chest, seeing the person who you trusted more than anyone turn away from you, and treat you like their enemy. Well, Pastor Jeff reminds you today that Peter did exactly that when he denied Jesus three times! But yet, the Lord was still ready to forgive His disciple and friend. After Jesus’ resurrection, He restored Peter to be by His side once again, and He will do the same for you, even when you backslide into sin.26 min
  21. 2110.02.2026 - 09 - A Ram, a Goat, and an Abomination Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireBy studying history, we can see how the kingdoms of this world rise and fall. And even though the nations of our day have more power than the world powers that came before, we can have certainty that every nation we know of today will come to an end! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that the kings and kingdoms of this world are mortal and impermanent, but the Kingdom of God is the only kingdom that will last forever! You and I get to be citizens of that eternal Kingdom because of our identity in Christ.26 min
  22. 2210.01.2026 - 08 - The Antichrist and the Great Tribulation Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireWhen one king conquered another in ancient times, it would be customary to parade the defeated king through the streets as a form of humiliation. It was important for everyone to know that the power dynamic had changed, and there was a new ruler in charge! Well, Satan is going to be on the losing end of that exchange one day soon! Pastor Jeff reminds us today that even Lucifer will be defeated one day soon, and we will all get to witness our Heavenly Father sitting on the throne of Creation.26 min
  23. 2309.30.2026 - 08 - The Antichrist and the Great Tribulation Part 1 By Pastor Jeff WickwireEvery cartoon hero needs their cartoon villain; someone so obviously evil that you can’t help but cheer for the hero to beat them every single time! Well, even though the Antichrist is as close to pure evil as a man will ever get, he is no cartoon villain! Pastor Jeff wants to remind you today that the Antichrist will be a real person, not some government entity or fantasy monster. If you understand the threat the Antichrist poses to the world, you’ll understand how important it is to warn people about him!26 min
  24. 2409.29.2026 - 07 - The Ancient of Days Part 2 By Pastor Jeff WickwireMany of us have felt a moment where we’re singing a song of worship to God, and the words of the song start to seem repetitive and stale. Well, we won’t have to worry about that in Heaven! Pastor Jeff wants us to know today that while we will be worshipping the Lord forever in Heaven, our song won’t get boring or worn out. Instead, that song will be constantly refreshed, because only in the Father’s presence will we realize that a thousand years of praise is not enough for our Creator!26 min
