Wonder Church

During Missions Month, Pastor CJ shares a message from Acts 17 titled “The Heart of a Man on Mission.”When Paul arrived in Athens, he was deeply troubled by the idolatry and spiritual lostness he saw throughout the city. But Paul did more than notice the problem—because he cared, he acted. He entered the synagogue, went into the marketplace, and shared the gospel with the people around him.A life on mission begins when what breaks God’s heart begins to break ours. God is calling us to open our eyes to the people around us, resist complacency, and courageously share the hope of Jesus.You won’t be on mission if you don’t care. Because Paul cared, he went.📖 Scripture: Acts 17:16–18 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor CJ ⛪ Wonder Church | Redmond, Washington

Missions Month at Wonder - Madison and Lauren share their story of following God's assignments for their lives.

God’s Faithfulness to Israel and to Us | Romans 11:17–18What if the way we understand Israel changes the way we trust God?In this message, we look at Romans 11 and the faithfulness of God across thousands of years of history. The Church has not replaced Israel — we have been grafted into the family of God through Jesus. We are not Israel’s replacement. We are Israel’s family.From God’s covenant with Abraham to Paul’s teaching in Romans 11, this sermon explores why God’s promises to Israel still matter, what it means for Gentile believers to be adopted into the family, and how the miracle of Israel’s survival and restoration points us back to the unchanging faithfulness of God.If God has kept His word to Israel through exile, suffering, scattering, and restoration, then you can trust Him with what you are carrying today.Bottom Line: We are not Israel’s replacement. We are Israel’s family.Scripture: Romans 11:17–18, Genesis 12, Genesis 15, Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 37, Ephesians 2, Galatians 3

We continue our study of Romans, coming now to chapter 2:1-16. We discover destination of all humanity to stand before the Judge, Jesus Christ, where all our sin, even our secret lives, will be fully exposed. However, this same Judge is also the Savior who can save us from this judgement.

We continue our study of Romans 

Romans 1:1–17 | I am not Ashamed of the GospelBefore Paul tells the Romans what he has accomplished, he tells them who he belongs to.In the opening verses of Romans, Paul introduces himself not as an apostle, church planter, theologian, or leader—but as a slave of Christ Jesus. In a city obsessed with status, power, prestige, and achievement, Paul anchors his identity in something deeper: belonging to Jesus.This message launches our study through the book of Romans by exploring the gospel that transformed Paul's life and continues to change lives today. Romans is more than a theological masterpiece. It is a letter centered on the good news that God saves sinners through faith in Jesus Christ.As Paul writes to a diverse church wrestling with cultural and ethnic tensions, he reminds them—and us—that our identity is not built on our accomplishments, backgrounds, or social standing. We are called because we belong.The same gospel that raised Jesus from the dead is still the power of God at work today, saving everyone who believes.In this message: Why Paul introduces himself as a slave before an apostle  The cultural pressures facing the church in Rome  Why belonging comes before becoming  What the gospel actually is according to Romans 1  How calling flows from identity  Why Paul was "not ashamed" of the gospel  What makes the gospel powerful in every culture and generation  How God calls ordinary believers to live with purpose and mission The world celebrates power, wisdom, and success. The gospel reveals something greater: the power of God changing lives through faith in Jesus Christ.Scripture: Romans 1:1–17 Series: Romans Message Title: Called to Belong Core Theme: You are called because you belong.

Friendship in Marriage | Song of Solomon 5:10–16Marriage is more than romance, responsibility, or commitment. At its best, marriage is friendship — the kind of friendship that helps each person become more like Jesus.In this message, Pastor CJ and Nicole Witkoe bring together key themes from the friendship series and apply them to marriage. Looking at Song of Solomon 5:16, where the bride describes her beloved as both “my lover” and “my friend,” this message explores how friendship strengthens marriage through companionship, investment, encouragement, and shared mission.Marriage was designed by God to bring out the best in one another. But because of sin, companionship can become competition. Instead of championing each other, couples can drift into comparison, control, criticism, and distance. This message invites husbands and wives to rediscover what it means to stand side by side, celebrate each other’s strengths, walk through grief together, and build the Kingdom as a team.From Genesis 2 to Proverbs 18, from Jesus’ circles of intimacy to the example of Priscilla and Aquila, this sermon shows that deep friendship in marriage does not happen by accident. It takes time, attention, reassurance, celebration, mission, and the willingness to keep choosing the person beside you.The goal is not simply to have a better date night. The goal is to build a marriage where your spouse is not just your partner, but your beloved friend.In this message: Why who you are with shapes where you are going  How marriage was designed for side-by-side companionship  Why sin turns companionship into competition  What it means to champion your spouse instead of compete with them  Why deep friendship requires intentional investment  How to celebrate the mountains and grieve in the gardens together  What Priscilla and Aquila teach us about marriage on mission  Why friendship with your spouse points to friendship with God Whether you are married, preparing for marriage, or hoping to grow in your understanding of godly relationships, this message is an invitation to see marriage as a place where love, friendship, discipleship, and mission come together.Scripture: Song of Solomon 5:10–16 Message Title: Friendship in Marriage Speakers: Pastor CJ Witkoe and Nicole Witkoe Core theme: Marriage is about championing the person beside you.

Spirit-filled Friendship | Acts 2:1–6Pentecost was not only the beginning of Spirit-filled power. It was also the beginning of Spirit-filled friendship.In this message, we look at Acts 2 and the powerful connection between the presence of God, the gathering of God’s people, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit was poured out while the believers were gathered together in one place, reminding us that there is unique power, authority, and presence when God’s people gather in His name.But Spirit-filled community is not the same as perfect community. The early church was filled with awe, generosity, prayer, fellowship, and miracles—but it also faced hypocrisy, division, tension, doctrinal disagreement, and relational conflict. The goal is not to return to an idealized innocence. The goal is to grow into Spirit-filled maturity.This message challenges the fantasy that real Christian community means no disappointment, no conflict, and no difficult people. Instead, Spirit-filled friendship gives us the grace to forgive, the courage to tell the truth, the humility to repent, and the power to keep loving.The death of idealized friendship is often the birth of Spirit-filled friendship.In this message: Why Pentecost reveals the power of gathering  How the Holy Spirit works through community  Why spiritual gifts are not for us, but through us for others  What Acts 2 teaches about healthy Christian fellowship  Why idealized community can destroy real community  How the Holy Spirit matures us through imperfect people  What it means to surrender fantasy and receive real friendship by grace If you have been hurt by church, disappointed in community, or tempted to isolate, this message is an invitation to be filled again with the Spirit and step into mature, grace-filled relationships.Scripture: Acts 2:1–6 Message Title: Spirit-filled Friendship Core theme: The death of idealized friendship is often the birth of Spirit-filled friendship

Closer than a Brother | Proverbs 18:24We live in a world with more connections than ever, yet many people feel more alone than ever. We have more followers, more options, more conversations, and more access—but fewer deep friendships that can actually carry weight.In this message, “Closer than a Brother,” we look at Proverbs 18:24 and the difference between having many companions and having a true friend. Scripture warns that a person with many companions may still come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.This message confronts the spiritual pull of “more”—more attention, more praise, more affection, more intimacy, more options—and shows how the endless pursuit of more can leave us increasingly lonely. Jesus shows us a better way. He loved the multitudes, sent the 72, chose the 12, brought the 3 close, and shared deep friendship with the beloved disciple.The invitation is not to love fewer people less, but to love the right people more deeply.In this message: Why hard times reveal true friends  How social media and modern dating can create shallow connection  Why deep friendship requires time, intention, and shared experience  What Jesus teaches us through His circles of intimacy  Why not everyone should have the same level of access to your life  How to exchange the love of many for the love of a few  What it means to invite Jesus into the center of your closest circle You do not need more friends as much as you need to love the people around you more faithfully. And above every earthly friendship, Jesus offers Himself as the Friend who sticks closer than a brother.Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Message Title: Closer than a Brother Core theme: Exchange the love of many for the love of a few

Sanctity of Life | Romans 5:6–8In this message, we look at the sanctity of human life through the authority of Scripture and the heart of the gospel.On Mother’s Day, Wonder Church partnered with Love Life to pray, fast, give, and take practical steps toward creating a culture of love and life. This message addresses the difficult questions surrounding abortion, the value of the unborn, the responsibility of the Church, and the hope of the gospel for every person.Scripture teaches that God sees life in the womb as known, formed, valued, and purposed. From Jeremiah 1 to Psalm 139 to Luke 1, we see that unborn life is not hidden from God, forgotten by God, or less valuable to God. But this message does not stop at conviction. It also calls the Church to compassion, action, and care for mothers, fathers, children, orphans, and families in crisis.The heart of the message is Romans 5:6–8: while we were utterly helpless, Christ came for us. Just as the unborn are helpless, we were helpless in our sin. And just as life requires sacrifice, Jesus gave His life so that we could live.This is not only a message about life in the womb. It is a message about the gospel, the authority of Scripture, and the call of the Church to love both mother and child with truth, compassion, and courage.In this message: Why Christians build their worldview from Scripture, not culture  What the Bible teaches about life in the womb  How to think biblically about difficult and painful situations  Why caring for orphans, widows, and vulnerable families is part of the sanctity of life  How the gospel reveals God’s heart for the helpless  Practical ways to respond through prayer, fasting, giving, and action Scripture: Romans 5:6–8 Message Title: Sanctity of Life Partner: Love Life Theme: Life, compassion, Scripture, and the gospel

In this message, Jeff Vantrease teaches on communion and the truth that Jesus is our daily bread. Through the picture of bread from heaven, we are reminded that God provides daily grace, daily strength, and daily life through Christ.

People are the Prize | 1 John 3:10We live in a world where meaningful relationships are constantly being traded for convenience, distraction, speed, safety, and self-protection. Real connection is hard. Vulnerability is costly. And little by little, many of us have learned to avoid people instead of love them.In this message, “People are the Prize,” we look at 1 John 3:10 and the bold truth that one of the clearest markers of following Jesus is not just personal morality or private spirituality, but love for people. According to Scripture, loving others is not optional for the Christian life. It is central to it.This sermon confronts the ways isolation, hurry, competition, insecurity, and even technology can distort the way we see others. It also reminds us that the problem goes deeper than culture alone. Our sinful nature, the fallen world, and spiritual opposition all work against healthy, God-centered relationships. But Jesus calls us into something radically different.The shift is this: people are not obstacles, interruptions, or tools. People are the prize.Drawing from 1 John, John 13, Romans 12, and the writings of C.S. Lewis, this message invites us to see people the way God sees them and to reorient our lives around success not as achievement, but as learning to love well. And the solution is not simply trying harder. The solution is first receiving the love of God for yourself.Because in the kingdom of God, loved people love people.In this message: Why loving people is a defining mark of a true disciple  How isolation and avoidance distort discipleship  Why following Jesus cannot be done apart from community  The spiritual battle behind division, toxicity, and relational breakdown  What it means to see others as eternally significant  Why the answer to loving people is receiving the love of God first If you have felt disconnected, guarded, disappointed in relationships, or tempted to withdraw from people, this message is a call back to the heart of discipleship: to receive God’s love and reflect it toward others.Scripture: 1 John 3:10 Message Title: People are the Prize Core theme: Loved people love people

In this message, Pastor Tim Olson teaches on Jesus as the Bread of Life and the truth that only Christ can truly satisfy the human soul. While the world offers temporary fulfillment, Jesus alone gives lasting life, hope, and satisfaction.

In this Easter message, Pastor CJ Witkoe teaches from John 20:11–16 and the powerful moment when Jesus calls Mary by name at the empty tomb. Mary had seen the signs of the resurrection, but what changed everything was not just evidence or miracles. It was a personal encounter with the risen Jesus.

Your King Comes to You | Palm Sunday Sermon“See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey…” — Matthew 21:5Palm Sunday isn’t just a moment in history—it’s a deeply personal invitation.In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and asks a powerful question:Did Jesus choose the cross… or was He forced into it?The answer changes everything.Through the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 and the events of Matthew 21, we see that Jesus didn’t just accidentally fulfill prophecy—He intentionally chose to fulfill it. From riding on a donkey to remaining silent before His accusers, Jesus actively stepped into God’s plan.And that reveals something profound:What He couldn’t control reveals His identity (He is God). What He chose reveals His character (He is love).The bottom line of this message is simple—but life-changing:Your choices reveal your character.And Jesus’ choice? He chose to come for you.In this sermon, you’ll discover:👑 Why Palm Sunday prophecy is both miraculous and intentional 📖 How Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies—and why it matters 🔥 The difference between divine identity and chosen obedience 💧 How God pursues us before we ever pursue Him ❤️ Why your relationship with Jesus starts with His choice—not yoursWhile we often think of faith as us searching for God, Scripture flips the story:Jesus came to you first.“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19Before you ever reached for Him, before you ever believed, before you ever cleaned up your life—Your King was already on His way to you.📖 Scripture: Matthew 21:1–5, Zechariah 9:9, Luke 24:44, Romans 5:8 🎙️ Message Title: Your King Comes to You 📅 Occasion: Palm Sunday

Hope In God | Psalm 42:11“Why are you cast down, O my soul… Hope in God; for I shall again praise him.” — Psalm 42:11What do you do when you’re still struggling… even after everything you’ve learned?Psalm 42 ends with a powerful, repeated declaration that cuts through despair, doubt, and exhaustion:Hope in God.In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe unpacks one of the most important spiritual practices in the Christian life—leading your soul when it feels like it’s falling apart.Because the truth is:It’s not over… because God’s not done.This verse isn’t a quick fix or a denial of pain. The psalmist is still downcast. Still in turmoil. Still struggling. But instead of giving up, he speaks truth to his soul again—and again—and again.Why? Because repetition forms habits, habits shape lives, and lives determine destinies.In this sermon, you’ll learn:🧠 What it means to practice true “soul leadership” (without denying your pain) 🔁 Why spiritual repetition is essential for growth and maturity 🔥 How to keep going when you’re tired of “learning lessons” 🙏 What it actually means to “hope in God” 💡 Why hope isn’t wishful thinking—but confident trust in God’s unfinished workWhen your soul loses hope, there’s no strategy, discipline, or effort that can fix it.Only hope in God can restore the soul.No matter what your story has been up to this point— no matter how far you’ve fallen, how long you’ve struggled, or how tired you feel—God has the final word.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42:11, Galatians 6:9, John 1:16 🎙️ Series: Psalm 42 🧭 Message Title: Hope In God

When God Feels Far Away | Psalm 42:9–10“I say to God, my rock: ‘Why have you forgotten me?’” — Psalm 42:9Have you ever asked the question most believers are afraid to say out loud?“God… where are you?”Psalm 42 takes us into one of the darkest moments of the psalmist’s spiritual journey. What begins as a thirst for God becomes a painful question: Has God forgotten me? Surrounded by enemies and mocked with the haunting challenge — “Where is your God?” — the psalmist wrestles honestly with doubt, suffering, and the silence of heaven.In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores what Scripture teaches about those seasons when God feels distant and why that feeling doesn’t mean He’s absent.The powerful truth at the center of this passage is:When God feels far away, He is really on His way.In this sermon, you’ll discover:💧 Why spiritual thirst is essential for discipleship ⚔️ The three enemies every believer faces — within, around, and below ✝️ How Jesus experienced abandonment so we could be adopted 🧠 Why the enemy attacks your soul through doubt and accusation 🔥 How to see spiritual battles from God’s perspective 🕊️ Why wrestling with God is part of real faithWhen the psalmist asks, “Where is your God?”, Scripture gives us three answers:• He was on the cross — securing our salvation. • He is with us in the battle — empowering us to endure. • He is coming soon — bringing justice, healing, and restoration.If you’re in a season where God feels distant, this message will remind you that your struggle is not the end of the story. God has not forgotten you — and the darkness will not have the final word.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42:9–10, Matthew 27:46, Romans 7–8, John 16:33 🎙️ Series: Psalm 42 🧭 Message Title: When God Feels Far Away

The Way Through the Deep Dark | Psalm 42:6–8“My soul is cast down within me… Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls.” — Psalm 42:6–7There are moments in life when everything stops.Loss. Heartbreak. Death. Divorce. The collapse of something you thought would last forever.Psalm 42 speaks directly into those seasons—the deep dark places of the soul where pain isn’t surface-level but goes all the way down. In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores how the psalmist navigates overwhelming grief and spiritual darkness and discovers a powerful truth:Our deep souls need a deep God.Through vivid imagery of raging waterfalls, crashing waves, and the depths of the ocean, Psalm 42 reveals that the storms we face are not outside of God’s control—they are His waves and His breakers, and they are held under His authority.In this message, you’ll discover:🌊 Why the deepest pain can shape the deepest faith 🧭 How remembering God’s past faithfulness anchors us in present darkness 🙏 Why speaking to your soul isn’t enough—we must also cry out to God 🔥 How suffering often becomes God’s tool for transformation ✝️ Why Jesus is ultimately the way through the deepest darkFrom the story of Jonah to the sorrow of Christ in Gethsemane, Scripture shows us that darkness is never the final chapter. The night may feel overwhelming, but the promise remains:Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.If you are walking through a season where the waves feel too big and the darkness too deep, this message will remind you that you are not alone—and that the God who commands the storm is with you in the boat.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42:6–8 🎙️ Series: Psalm 42 🧭 Message Title: The Way Through the Deep Dark

Soul Leadership | Psalm 42“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God…”In this powerful and deeply practical message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores one of the most overlooked spiritual disciplines in Scripture: leading your own soul.Psalm 42 isn’t just poetry—it’s a masterclass in soul leadership. The psalmist doesn’t ignore his despair. He doesn’t suppress his emotions. He doesn’t pretend everything is fine. Instead, he speaks directly to his soul and calls it back to hope.And so must we.In this message, you’ll discover:🧠 The difference between self-talk and soul-talk 💔 Why your soul may still be operating from childhood wounds 🧩 The difference between integration and disintegration 🔥 Why self-care is not the same as soul care 🙏 What it actually means to “hope in God” 🎵 How praise prevents grief from becoming despairThe Hebrew word for soul — nephesh — refers to your inner being: the seat of your emotions, identity, and longings. It’s the glue that holds your mind, heart, and body together. And yet, many of us neglect it, misfeed it, or allow it to run chaotic and unled.Psalm 42 makes a shocking assumption: You can know your soul—and you can lead your soul.When the psalmist says, “Hope in God,” he isn’t denying pain. He’s confronting it. He’s reminding himself that while he may have reasons to be downcast, he has greater reason to rise.You may have reasons to be cast down. But you have more reason to be raised up.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, confused, resentful, or spiritually dry, this message will help you realign your inner life with God and rediscover the strength that comes from praise—even in grief.Because grief is healthy when praise is a part of it. Because hope is choosing to wait with expectation. Because your soul was made for communion with God.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42; Romans 5:3–5 🎙️ Message Title: Soul Leadership 🧭 Theme: Inner life, hope, praise, spiritual maturity

Grief Is a Gift | Psalm 42:3–4“My tears have been my food day and night…” — Psalm 42:3Grief isn’t weakness. It isn’t failure. And it isn’t something to rush past.In this powerful message from Psalm 42:3–4, Ben (Youth & Young Adults Director at Wonder Church) unpacks a surprising truth: grief is a gift that draws us closer to the heart of God.The psalmist describes tears as daily food and remembers seasons of joy that now feel distant. He feels mocked. Forgotten. Overwhelmed. And yet—this lament becomes worship. This sorrow becomes intimacy.In this sermon, you’ll discover:💧 Why tears can be a form of spiritual nourishment 💔 How grief exposes what we truly love 🙏 Why God doesn’t waste our sorrow 🔥 How pain can deepen—not diminish—your faith ❤️ What it means to encounter God in seasons of lossPsalm 42 reminds us that lament was written for corporate worship. That means grief was never meant to isolate you—it was meant to bring you into deeper communion with God and His people.The bottom line: Grief is a gift—not because it feels good, but because it pulls us toward the heart of God.If you’re walking through loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or spiritual dryness, this message will help you see your sorrow through a different lens—and discover the nearness of God in the middle of it.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42:3–4 🎙️ Speaker: Ben – Youth & Young Adults Director 🧭 Series: Psalm 42

Blessed Thirst | Psalm 42:1–2 | Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?“As the deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.”Psalm 42 opens with one of the most honest and vulnerable cries in Scripture—a soul desperate for God in a dry and weary land. In this first message of our Psalm 42 series, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores what it means to have a blessed thirst—a longing for the living God that refuses to settle for spiritual stagnation.Psalm 42 is a lament—written for public worship by the Sons of Korah. That means this wasn’t private journaling. It was sung. Repeated. Prayed together. Because while circumstances change, human emotions don’t.In a world full of distractions, idols, and “stagnant water,” this message asks a piercing question:Are you thirsty for God—or just a version of Him that fits your comfort zone?In this sermon, you’ll discover:💧 Why biblical thirst imagery matters in a desert context 🌊 Why our souls can’t survive on stagnant spirituality 🔥 The difference between cultural Christianity and the living God 🏜️ How apathy slowly replaces pursuit 🙏 Why discipleship requires intentional drinking 💍 What spiritual drift has in common with marriage driftFrom Mount Baker stories to the Golden Calf, from dehydration statistics to Jesus’ invitation in John 7:37, this message calls us back to a raw, relentless hunger for God.Not a God we redefine. Not a God we domesticate. Not a God we schedule.But the living God.“Give me God—or I will die.”If your soul feels dry… distant… or spiritually numb, this message is an invitation to pursue again. To linger. To press in. To drink deeply.📖 Scripture: Psalm 42:1–2, John 7:37, Exodus 32 🎙️ Series: Psalm 42 🧭 Theme: Spiritual thirst, lament, worship, encounter with God

Bring Others With You | CLIMB Series — Finale“You won’t find Jesus inside the tent of your comfort zone.”In the final message of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe calls the church beyond personal growth and spiritual endurance into something even bigger: mission. The climb was never meant to be solo. The summit was never meant to be private. If Jesus has changed your life, the invitation is clear—bring others with you.Drawing from Hebrews 13:10–14, this message reveals a powerful truth: Jesus suffered outside the camp—outside the systems of comfort, control, religion, and predictability—to make us holy by His blood. And if we want to truly follow Him, we must be willing to step outside the camp too.In this message, you’ll discover: ⛰️ Why ministry and comfort zones don’t coexist 🔥 What it really means to “go to Jesus outside the camp” 👣 Why obedience is our responsibility—and results belong to God 🧭 How fear of rejection keeps us from miracles God has already prepared 🕊️ Why discipleship always requires movement, risk, and surrenderFrom mountaineering stories to real-life gospel moments, this sermon challenges us to stop walking past miracles—and stop walking past people Jesus deeply loves. Whether in friendships, marriage, parenting, church life, or everyday conversations, everything becomes an instrument of Kingdom advancement when we leave the tent of comfort behind.This isn’t about hype or pressure. It’s about obedience. It’s about presence. It’s about saying, “Jesus—you’ll find me outside the camp.”📖 Scripture: Hebrews 13:10–14; Matthew 28:19–20 🎙️ Series: CLIMB 🧗 Message Title: Bring Others With YouIf you’ve been climbing faithfully but quietly, this message will stir your heart toward mission—and remind you that the climb was never just about you.

Mark the Summit | CLIMB Series — Week 4“Not that I have already obtained all this… but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” — Philippians 3:12–14What if the reason you feel empty isn’t because you failed… but because you reached the wrong summit?In Week 4 of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe challenges us to confront one of the deepest human struggles: giving everything we have to reach a goal, only to arrive and realize we still haven’t arrived. Careers, success, influence, financial stability—even spiritual accomplishments—can feel like summits until we stand there and sense something is still missing.The problem isn’t effort. The problem is direction.In this message, you’ll discover: ⛰️ Why human achievement can never fully satisfy an eternal soul 🎯 What Paul meant when he said he had not yet “attained” what Christ wanted for him ❤️ The difference between sinless performance and complete formation 📍 How Jesus redefines the summit from success to calling 🔥 Why striving gives way to purpose when Jesus marks the summitPaul reminds us that knowing Christ and living His purposes are not assumed — they are pursued. Jesus didn’t just forgive us; He possessed us so that we could become everything we were created to be. When He marks the summit, the climb is no longer about proving ourselves — it becomes about responding to His call.Sometimes, reaching the true summit means going down first — letting go of past accomplishments, redefining success, and starting over with Jesus leading the way.📖 Scripture: Philippians 3:12–14; Galatians 6:9 🎙️ Series: CLIMB 🧗 Message Title: Mark the Summit (Week 4)If you’re tired of chasing goals that don’t fulfill, this message will help you stop striving, rediscover your calling, and let Jesus define what you’re really climbing toward.

In Step | CLIMB Series — Week 3“We don’t rest from work — we rest in His.”In Week 3 of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe addresses one of the most overlooked reasons people burn out in faith and ministry: we try to rest without plugging into God’s love.You can unplug. You can take a day off. You can sleep, vacation, sabbath, and slow down… and still feel completely drained.Why? Because unplugging doesn’t recharge — only connection does.Drawing from 1 John 4:18–19, this message reveals how fear-driven performance quietly fuels exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout — even in spiritual disciplines meant to bring rest. Perfect love doesn’t just comfort us; it casts out fear and replaces performance-driven anxiety with identity-driven obedience.In this message, you’ll discover: ⛰️ Why weariness doesn’t mean failure — it means you’re climbing 🔌 The difference between unplugging and actually recharging 😰 How fear and performance anxiety drain us even when we’re “resting” ❤️ Why resting in God’s finished work changes how we climb 👣 How staying “in step” with Jesus makes the climb sustainable for you — and easier for those behind youThe mountain has already been summited by Jesus. We don’t climb to earn love — we climb because we are loved.📖 Scripture: 1 John 4:18–19; Galatians 6:9; Philippians 3:9 🎙️ Series: CLIMB 🧗 Message Title: In Step (Week 3)If you’re tired, anxious, or trying to prove yourself — this message will help you learn how to rest in His love and keep climbing with renewed strength.

Link Up | CLIMB Series — Week 2“Let us not become weary in doing good… if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9“Let us not neglect our meeting together… but encourage one another.” — Hebrews 10:24–25Climbing alone might feel simpler, cleaner, and safer — but it’s also how people fall.In Week 2 of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe reminds us that God never intended us to climb our ministry mountain by ourselves. The climb may be slower. It may be messier. But you will never go as far alone as you could with others.Using powerful imagery from mountaineering, this message reveals why linking up isn’t optional — it’s essential. Ropes and harnesses don’t eliminate danger, but they keep one misstep from becoming fatal. In the same way, Christian community doesn’t remove hardship, but it keeps us from isolation, burnout, and spiritual collapse.In this message, you’ll discover:🧗 Why isolation is one of the enemy’s most effective strategies🤝 How encouragement requires intentionality, not convenience🔥 Why obedience — not success — is the true metric of faith🏠 Why gathering with the church is irreplaceable (and livestreams are supplements, not sustenance)🌾 How the “harvest” we’re waiting for may be standing right next to usHebrews tells us to think carefully about how to motivate one another — to spur each other on toward love and good works — especially now. Time is short. Jesus is coming back. And every gathering is an opportunity for a miracle.📖 Scripture: Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 10:24–25🎙️ Series: CLIMB🧗 Message Title: Link Up (Week 2)If you’ve ever thought, “No one understands,” this message will remind you that nothing wars against isolation like worshipping alongside people who have experienced the same grace you have.

Choose to Climb | CLIMB Series — Week 1“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (NIV)Have you ever hit a point where things got hard and you wondered, “Did I miss something?” In this opening message of the CLIMB series, Pastor CJ Witkoe reminds us that difficulty doesn’t mean failure — it often means progress.Using the picture of mountain climbing, this message reframes weariness not as a warning sign, but as evidence that you’re on the ascent.

Christmas Eve 2025 | Prince of Peace — Are We Ok With God?Have you ever quietly wondered, “God… are we ok?”Life has been hard. You’ve messed up. You feel distant. And beneath the noise of Christmas and the pressure to feel joyful, that question lingers — Are we still ok?In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor CJ Witkoe unpacks Isaiah 9:6 and the powerful truth that Jesus didn’t come to make us “ok with ourselves.” He came as the Prince of Peace — to make us ok with God.Our culture offers a fragile substitute: “I’m ok with me.” But peace based on self-approval collapses when circumstances change, comparisons creep in, or guilt resurfaces. Real peace doesn’t come from inside us — it comes from being made right with God.In this message, you’ll discover: 🎄 Why being “ok with yourself” isn’t the same as being at peace 🕊️ How Jesus offers peace that outlasts your emotions and failures ❤️ The difference between justification (being made right with God) and sanctification (being transformed by God) 🩸 Why peace is only possible because Jesus took the consequences of our sin ✨ How the Prince of Peace offers not comfort without change — but peace with transformationThis Christmas Eve, Jesus isn’t offering permission to stay the same. He’s offering something better: a settled conscience, a secure relationship with God, and a new beginning.📖 Scripture: Isaiah 9:6; 1 John 3:20; 2 Corinthians 3:18 🎄 Service: Christmas Eve 2025 👑 Message Title: Prince of Peace

Be Still and Embrace a Kingdom Mindset | Word for the Year“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10In a world that celebrates hurry, noise, and constant motion, God invites us to slow down. In this message, Pastor CJ and Nicole calls the church to pause, reflect, and look ahead by embracing a Kingdom mindset rooted in stillness, trust, and perspective.Often it’s not that God isn’t speaking — it’s that we’re moving too fast to listen. When we slow down, we gain clarity. When we become still, we remember who is actually in control. And when we see life from God’s point of view, our priorities begin to align with His Kingdom.In this message, you’ll be invited to:⏸️ Be still — creating space to hear God clearly👑 Embrace a Kingdom mindset — seeing people, the Church, and priorities through God’s eyes🕊️ Reflect on the past year — identifying the moments God used to shape and mature you🌱 Look ahead with faith — discerning what God may want to do in and through you nextThis message introduces a rhythm for the year ahead — one that is unhurried yet unstoppable, grounded in trust that God is at work even when we slow down.📖 Scripture: Psalm 46:10🎯 Theme: Word for the Year💡 Message Title: Be Still and Embrace a Kingdom Mindset

The Story: Joy | Christmas Is for EveryoneWhen the angel appeared to the shepherds, the announcement wasn’t just good news — it was great joy. And that joy wasn’t reserved for kings, scholars, or the spiritually impressive. It was first given to shepherds — the overlooked, the unclean, the exhausted, the lowly.In this Christmas message from Josee Schilling, we’re reminded that joy is for everyone. No matter your past, your pain, your position, or your present circumstances, the joy of Christmas meets you right where you are.This message reveals that joy is an act of defiance — evidence that we belong to a different Kingdom. In a world ruled by fear, despair, and striving, Christian joy boldly declares that Jesus is King and that hope has broken in.But ultimately, joy isn’t determined by what’s happening around you — it’s determined by who is with you.The angel’s message to the shepherds was the Gospel itself: Jesus has come to make us right with God. And that reality changes everything.In this message, you’ll discover: ✨ Why joy is for everyone ✨ Why joy is resistance ✨ Joy isn't determine by what's around you, but who is with you.📖 Scripture: Luke 2:8–20 🎄 Series: The Story (Christmas at Wonder Church) 💡 Message Topic: JoyIf you’ve been discouraged, weary, or wondering if joy is still possible for you — this message is for you.

Hope For Those Who Sit in Darkness | Christmas at Wonder Church“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.” — Matthew 4:16Christmas is supposed to be magical — full of concerts, lights, traditions, and moments we try so hard to savor. But what happens when the Christmas story collides with our story? What if this season isn’t festive, but heavy? What if joy feels far away, and hope feels impossible?In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores Matthew 4:12–16 and the prophecy Isaiah spoke centuries earlier: the light of Christ breaks in for those who sit in darkness. Not just for the religious. Not just for the hopeful. But for the hopeless. The disappointed. The exhausted. The ones who have heard “no” so many times they stopped praying, stopped dreaming, stopped expecting anything to change.In this Christmas message, you’ll discover:🕯️ 1. People who sit in darkness have often lost hope.When life says “NOPE” — jobs, relationships, health, dreams, even God — hopelessness begins to feel normal.🌑 2. People who sit in darkness adjust their eyes.Sometimes we stop trying to get out. We settle. We succeed outwardly but feel empty inwardly. We lower our expectations because disappointment hurts too much.✨ 3. But into that darkness… a GREAT Light shines.The hope of the Gospel is not faint — it is great. Jesus breaks in exactly where hope has died. As Tozer said: “It is in the dark that God does His best work in us.”🌅 4. Those who see the light must decide.When the light appears, we either remain seated… or we run toward it.This is a message for anyone who has felt stuck, discouraged, numb, disappointed, or spiritually tired — and for anyone who needs to believe again that Jesus still shines in dark places… even here, even now.📖 Scripture: Matthew 4:12–16; Isaiah 9; John 8:12🎄 Series: Christmas at Wonder✨ Message Title: For Those Who Sit in Darkness

More Than a Meal – Pt. 4 | Look Ahead“You are announcing the Lord’s death until He comes again.” — 1 Corinthians 11:26Communion doesn’t just point inward, backward, or around us—it points forward.In this final message of our More Than a Meal series, Pastor CJ Witkoe teaches that the Lord’s Supper is a preview, a foretaste, and a dress rehearsal for the greatest celebration in eternity: the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.Jesus said, “I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”That means there is a future meal coming… and communion is the appetizer.In this message you’ll discover:🍞 Communion awakens hunger — a holy longing for the day Jesus returns.🌿 Communion sets the tone — what we taste now will be fully realized in glory.🕊 Communion secures your seat at the table — participation identifies us as His people.📣 Communion gives us a mission — we proclaim His death until He comes again.Communion is not the last supper—it’s the preview of the next supper.📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; Matthew 26:29; Revelation 19:6–9🎙️ Series: More Than a Meal: The Theology of Communion🕊️ Message 4: Look Ahead

More Than a Meal – Pt. 3 | Look Around“This is my body… this is my blood.” — Jesus (Matthew 26:26–28)Communion isn’t just something we think about — it’s something we participate in. In Part 3 of our More Than a Meal series, Pastor CJ Witkoe invites us to stop overthinking, slow down, and look around at what Jesus is actually doing in communion.When Jesus said, “This is my body… this is my blood,” He took the familiar symbolism of the Passover meal and radically redefined it. No longer shaped by the lamb of Egypt, the bread and cup now point to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.In this message you’ll discover: 🍞 The new meaning of the bread — the sacrifice of Jesus that delivers us from sin. 🍷 The significance of the cup — the covenant confirmed by His blood, securing forgiveness for the many. 🙌 The real mystery of communion — not mystical transformation, but Jesus’ presence alive in His people. 🧡 Why participation matters more than perfect understanding — “take and eat,” not “take and understand.” 🌿 How looking around helps us stop overthinking and start experiencing God.Communion is more than a symbol to study — it’s a grace to receive, a presence to encounter, and a reminder that the wonder of God is found not in merely understanding Him, but in participating with Him.📖 Scripture: Matthew 26:26–28; Exodus 6:6–7; Exodus 24:8; Leviticus 17:11 🎙️ Series: More Than a Meal: The Theology of Communion 🕊️ Message 3: Look Around

More Than a Meal: The Theology of Communion | Part 2 - Look Back “Do this in remembrance of me.”With those words, Jesus invites us to look back — not with guilt or nostalgia, but with gratitude and awe.In this second message of the More Than a Meal series, Pastor CJ Witkoe unpacks the sacred meaning of remembrance in communion. We don’t just recall an event in history — we relive the reality of the cross, the love that was poured out, and the covenant that still holds us today.When we look back to the body broken and the blood shed, we’re reminded that grace isn’t a concept — it’s a person. Communion reorients our hearts to what Jesus has done, anchors our faith in His sacrifice, and renews our relationship with Him and with one another.In this message, you’ll discover:🍞 What “remembrance” truly means in biblical context❤️ How to move from routine to reverence when taking communion🩸 Why the cross is not just something to recall — but something to live from🙏 How looking back gives us strength to move forward📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, Luke 22:14–20🎙️ Series: More Than a Meal: The Theology of Communion🕊️ Message 2: Look Back

🍞 More Than a Meal: Look In — Examining the Heart Before CommunionCommunion isn’t just a ritual — it’s a moment of reflection. In Part 1 of More Than a Meal: The Theology of Communion, Pastor CJ Witkoe teaches from 1 Corinthians 11 that the Lord’s Supper is where routine ends and reverence begins. Before we take the bread and cup, Scripture calls us to “examine ourselves” — to look inward and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that separates us from God or from one another.🙏 Key Idea: Communion is not a snack. It’s sacred.💡 When we honor the body of Christ — both His sacrifice and His church — we experience the wholeness His body was broken to give us.📖 1 Corinthians 11:20–34 | Psalm 139:23–24🕊️ In this message, you’ll learn:What it means to “discern the body of Christ”How self-examination leads to restorationWhy reverence is the foundation of true communionHow to honor Christ and others before you come to the table

🔥 Trainwreck: David & Absalom — You Can’t Fix It Until You Face ItWhen David refused to confront the sin in his own family, it led to heartbreak, rebellion, and the loss of his son Absalom. Sometimes the mess we bury is the one that breaks us. In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe shares how avoidance can destroy what anger only started—and how God, unlike David, did something about our sin by sending Jesus to take our place.🧠 Key Idea: Things don’t get better by burying them. You can’t fix it until you face it. 💔 David ignored it. Absalom rebelled. God redeemed it. 📖 2 Samuel 13–18 | John 3:16 | Ezekiel 18:32🙌 Discover how to confront sin, pursue reconciliation, and experience the Father’s heart that says, “If only I had died instead of you.”🎧 Topics:Family brokenness & forgivenessConfronting sin biblicallyThe cost of silence and avoidanceGod’s redeeming love through Jesus

The Israelites had seen God do miracle after miracle — deliverance from Egypt, manna from heaven, water from rocks — and yet, they grumbled. Their constant complaining revealed a heart that had lost its fear of the Lord. As a result, fiery serpents struck the camp, and only those who looked up to the bronze serpent were healed.In this message, guest speakers Troy and Barbara share how that same spirit of grumbling and self-reliance can creep into our lives today — even in ministry. Jesus warned in Matthew that many will say, “Lord, Lord, did we not do miracles in your name?” yet He will reply, “I never knew you.”The warning is clear: we can produce ministry activity without spiritual intimacy. Like branches disconnected from the vine, we can look fruitful on the outside but be spiritually dying on the inside.This message calls us back to the fear of the Lord — a holy awe that keeps us connected to the source of all life and power. We don’t bear fruit by striving harder, but by staying rooted in Jesus, the true Vine.📖 Scriptures: Numbers 21:4–9, John 15:1–5, Matthew 7:21–23 🎙 Series: Trainwreck 💡 Message Title: coming back to the vineIf you’ve ever felt burned out, spiritually dry, or disconnected from God, this message is an invitation to return — not to religion, but to relationship.

🎙️ Trainwreck: Solomon | When Love Becomes an IdolSolomon was the wisest man who ever lived — blessed by God with unmatched wisdom, power, and wealth. He built the Temple, led Israel into its most prosperous era, and became a legend of divine favor. Yet, behind the gold and glory, something tragic was happening inside his heart.In Trainwreck: Solomon, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores how the man known for his wisdom became undone by divided love. Despite his divine gift, Solomon “clung in love” to foreign wives who eventually turned his heart away from God (1 Kings 11:1–3).This message digs deep into the tension between righteous wisdom and reckless love — how Solomon’s success led him to compromise, and how our own hearts can subtly shift from devotion to distraction. We discover that Solomon didn’t stop loving God… he just stopped loving Him fully.The heartbreaking truth: the same word used to describe Solomon’s love for God is used to describe his love for foreign women. His heart was divided — and that division cost him his kingdom.💡 Big Idea: The wisest man in history became a trainwreck, not because he stopped believing in God, but because he started loving other things just as much.📖 Scriptures: 1 Kings 3:3, 1 Kings 11:1–3, 2 Samuel 12:25, Hebrews 11:24–26🎙 Series: Trainwreck💔 Message Title: Solomon If you’ve ever found your heart pulled between God and something (or someone) else, this message will help you recognize the idols that divide your devotion — and rediscover what it means to give God 100%.

Trainwreck: Moses | Righteous Anger and the Cost of Losing ControlWhat makes you angry? Injustice? Hypocrisy? Disrespect? Anger is emotional energy — and sometimes, it’s even righteous. But as we see in the life of Moses, even righteous anger can lead to disastrous results when it’s not surrendered to God.In this message, Trainwreck: Moses, Pastor CJ Witkoe unpacks one of the most powerful and painful moments in Scripture — when Moses, in a fit of anger, struck the rock instead of speaking to it… and lost his chance to enter the Promised Land (Numbers 20:1–12).Through this story, we see that righteous anger does not equal righteous action. Moses’ pattern of anger — from killing the Egyptian to smashing the tablets to striking the rock — reminds us that even the strongest leaders can misrepresent God when they let emotions take control.But there’s hope. Hebrews 3–4 reveals that while Moses missed out on rest, we don’t have to. In Jesus, we find a better way — exchanging rage for rest, frustration for faith, and striving for surrender.📖 Scriptures: Numbers 20:1–12, Exodus 2:11–12, Exodus 32, Hebrews 3–4 🎙 Series: Trainwreck 💡 Message Title: Moses — The Cost of Losing ControlIf you’ve ever felt justified in your anger but regretted what came next, this message will help you find healing, peace, and strength in God’s rest.
