Disciple Making People | 1 Timothy 1:1-11
There are, of course, all kinds of people in the world! Tall people and short people, funny people and serious people. No matter the differences we have on the outside, every kind of person needs to be a disciple who makes disciples!
I'll Read, and Pray, and Then Obey | Hebrews 4:12-13
Have you ever gone out in the morning to start your car, only to hear it sputter? Have you ever walked into a fast food restaurant hoping for a sweet treat only to learn the ice cream machine was broken? It is never fun when whatever tool you w...
I Stand Alone on the Word of God | Colossians 3:15-17
The kids' song that inspired this series is mostly right about the B.I.B.L.E. It should be the book for each of us. It has the power to fill our hearts with peace, to direct our very actions, and to inspire our worship. What the song gets wrong...
That's The Book For Me | 2 Timothy 3:14-17
The Bible is an extraordinary book. It is full of history, but isn’t a history book. It offers insight into science, yet isn’t a science textbook. It contains letters but is more than a mailbag. We read personal anecdotes, but it is way more th...
Give Cheerfully | 2 Corinthians 9:1-15
When you're at a restaurant, and the check comes, what are your thoughts? Does the anxiety set in because of the “tip” choices that pop up? Sometimes we can be a reluctant tipper, but the generous believer gives cheerfully!
Give as a Team | 2 Corinthians 8:16-24
There has been a lot of attention given to the World Cup soccer games over the last couple of months. We’ve heard about powerful teams winning and losing. We’ve witnessed tremendous individual accomplishments. Ultimately, though, the adage is t...
Give Generously | 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
People give out of different pockets. We have different passions and interests and give to areas that connect with us. Following Jesus should cause us to want to live generously too, not just give generously.
Redeemed and Renewed | Colossians 1:15
God made people to bear His image. We are made with identity, purpose, and value, but The Fall has caused us to live out of alignment with that calling. Jesus came to this as the image, which means we have someone to trust for our redemption an...
Out of Alignment | Genesis 3
The imago dei gives us a clear identity, purpose, and value as humans. But what about The Fall in Genesis 3? Sin affects so many parts of our lives, but has the image of God in humanity been broken or distorted?
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...
