The Image | Genesis 1:26-31
Why are we here? Is there a purpose behind humans populating planet Earth? Does my life have any value? Questions like this are asked all the time, but answers vary and can cause even further confusion. When God created humanity, there was a cl...
The Trumpet | Psalm 150
Have you ever shouted something from the rooftops? What do you think would be worth this kind of behavior? What is worth shouting about in life?
The Secret Place | Psalm 139
Have you ever had a really good hiding place? What did you use it for? Did you hide valuables? Snacks? Yourself? Many of us have hidden something from others in our lives, but one thing is even more certain: we can’t hide anything from God!
His Voice | Psalm 29
What is the most powerful thing you have ever experienced? Maybe this spring, you sought refuge in the basement because of a tornado, or you turned your head as a motorcycle or muscle car roared down the street. But have you ever been stopped i...
The Tree | Psalm 1
Psalm 1 presents two options: be blessed or perish. In this introduction to the book of Psalms, the blessed life is described as a tree planted by flowing streams, bearing fruit, and dressed in leaves that never wither. As followers of Christ, ...
Called Together | 2 Corinthians 7:2-16
We often talk about the church being a family. Like any family, there can be disagreements and misunderstandings that must be worked through. The church in Corinth modeled what it means to be "called together".
Called Set Apart | 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Once in a while, someone will apologize for spilling coffee in WCC’s Worship Center. They feel bad for inadvertently making a mess in a room we sometimes call a “sanctuary.” Or have you ever seen someone “hush” a kid or tell them to stop runnin...
Called Coworkers | 2 Corinthians 6:1-13
Think back to your school days. Were you a person who loved “group projects,” or when the teacher said it was group project time, did your heart sink a little? To be fair, sometimes those projects went really great & sometimes those project...
Called Ambassadors | 2 Corinthians 5:11-21
Do you remember going on a field trip as a kid in school? I bet before you loaded the bus, your teacher gave you a speech similar to this one: “I need everyone to remember that when we arrive at the museum, you will be on your best behavior. Yo...
2 Marys, An Earthquake, and an Empty Tomb | Matthew 28:1-10
When we think of Easter, our mind probably races towards eggs, bunnies, pastel colors, and maybe a sweet worship service at church. But the first Easter was different. That first Easter started in sorrow, shook with an earthquake, and moved int...
A Donkey, Some Palm Branches, and the King | Matthew 21:1-11
One of the best parts of a baseball game is when the production crew urges the crowd to make some noise with displays on the Jumbotron. Get Loud! The scoreboard will say, and the crowd will respond with cheers! What a day Jesus’ last arrival in...
A Kiss, A Sword, and Fleeing Disciples | Matthew 26:47-56
This week, we welcome Kasey Robinson from Westside Family Church, Leavenworth. Our Bibles tell us that God is sovereign and faithful, but do we live as if it is true? Christ is victorious over sin and death, so even when following Jesus might f...
A Certain Man, Some Bread, and a Little Wine | Matthew 26:17-29
Every week at Wallula, we celebrate communion together as a way to remember the death of Jesus on the cross. Every time we do it, we eat the bread and drink the juice, symbols of the body and blood of Jesus. Those symbols carry so much weight a...
A Garden, a Cup, and a Nap | Matthew 26:36-46
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed fervently while the disciples, nearby, could not stay awake. During that prayer, Jesus received "negative" news about his future. God’s no in the garden was a yes to something much greater. In moments o...
The High Priest, A Couple Liars, and the Clouds of Heaven | Matthew 26:57-75
Stand up for yourself! Has anyone ever encouraged you to stand up for yourself? When you imagine standing up for yourself or for a friend, what does that look like? Are you pointing your finger or shouting to be heard? When it comes to st...
A Pretty Girl, Some Perfume, and the Poor
You are probably known to different people for different stuff. To some, you might be mom or dad, to others a husband or wife, to still others a friend or employee, or maybe to others you’re the boss. As followers of Jesus, we should want every...
Last Chance to Go Home | 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
“There is no place like home!” or “Home is where the heart is” or “Home for the Holidays”...we love to talk romantically about home!
Last Chance To Be Encouraged | 2 Corinthians 4:7-18
As you go through an ordinary day, what encourages you? A compliment from a friend on your appearance, or maybe a stranger allowing you to merge into traffic? It is pretty amazing how a small act of kindness can go a long way!
Last Chance to Shine | 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
Does anyone on your block still have their Christmas lights up? When you drive by those houses, what do you think? Now you can buy permanent Christmas lights, so they'll be shining all year long! As followers of Jesus, we should always be shini...
Last Chance to Spread the Word | 2 Corinthians 2:1-17
After Christmas, a young man mentioned receiving a backpack and a hatchet as gifts, which he explained were for camping. He described being part of a group he called “basically Christian Boy Scouts.” While many may not know the details of the B...
Last Chance to Change Course | 2 Corinthians 1:12-24
Imagine traveling a familiar route, one that’s been driven countless times. The road is straightforward and predictable, the kind that requires little thought. Then, partway along, a detour sign appears. What was once an easy, direct trip sudde...
Last Chance for Comfort | 1 Corinthians 1:1-11
Sometimes you just need your mom. Most of us know that feeling. You're calling her when you’re sick, crying over a scraped knee, or wishing you could hear her voice one more time. In those moments, we’re reminded that comfort isn’t meant to be ...
