    Romans 5:1-5 | GracePlace

    Welcome to GracePlace | Romans 5:1–5 What does it really mean to be justified by faith? Romans 5 tells us that because of Jesus, believers have peace with God and now stand in a new reality of grace. In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores why justification permanently changes our status with God, why peace with God is the foundation for every other kind of peace, and how grace changes the way we experience suffering. GracePlace isn’t a life without problems—it’s a life where even our problems can be redeemed for a purpose. Problems don’t define us; they refine us. And when pain comes, it can remind us of God’s greater plan and the hope we have in Jesus.

    Romans 4 | Because My Dad Promised Me

    Because My Dad Promised Me | Romans 4 We live in a world of “maybe.” People change their minds. Circumstances change. Promises get broken. And if we’re not careful, we can begin to approach God the same way—wondering if He really means what He says. But faith moves us from the world of maybe into confidence in the character of God. In Romans 4, Paul points us back to Abraham. Abraham wasn’t made right with God because of his works, religious performance, or ability to perfectly obey. Scripture says, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.” Even when every observable circumstance seemed to contradict God’s promise, Abraham kept believing. Why? Because God had promised. And that same faith points us to Jesus. We are made right with God not because we have performed well enough, but because we believe in the God who raised Jesus from the dead—the One who was handed over for our sins and raised to make us right with God. Faith isn’t confidence in my ability to perform. Faith isn’t confidence that the circumstances are favorable. Faith isn’t confidence that I can figure everything out. Faith is confidence in God’s character to keep His promise. When everyone else says, “Maybe,” faith says, “My Dad promised me.” 📖 Scripture: Romans 4; Genesis 15; Hebrews 11:19 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor CJ Witkoe ⛪ Wonder Church What has God promised you—and do you trust the One who made the promise?

    As Iron Sharpens Iron

    As Iron Sharpens Iron | Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” — Proverbs 27:17 We often think the problem is that we need more people around us. But what if the deeper issue is that we want community without allowing community to change us? God uses people to disciple people. Just as a blade becomes dull through normal use and is sharpened through intentional friction, God uses relationships to expose our blind spots, challenge our assumptions, encourage us when we’re discouraged, and make us more like Jesus. In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores what Proverbs 27:17 really means for Christian community and discipleship. You won’t be sharpened without friction—but not all friction produces sharpening. Our posture matters. We’ll discover: • Why everyone needs people who can challenge their thinking • The difference between healthy sharpening and damaging conflict • How humility, questions, and intentionality transform relationships • Why God’s community is meant to change the real you—not the person you pretend to be • How Christian friendship ultimately points us toward Jesus Iron sharpening iron means allowing others into the blunt edges of your life to lift you up and call you higher. We don't sharpen one another simply toward better versions of ourselves. We continually point one another toward Jesus. 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 27:17; 2 Corinthians 3:18 🎙️ Speaker: Pastor CJ Witkoe ⛪ Wonder Church Ready to take a next step? Get connected to a small group, attend Orientation, and begin building the kind of relationships where real discipleship can happen. #IronSharpensIron #ChristianCommunity #Discipleship #Proverbs #WonderChurch

    Romans 3:1-20 | Glorious Ruins

    Glorious Ruins | Romans 3:1–20 What if our biggest problem isn’t simply that we do sinful things—but that sin has become a condition we live under? In Romans 3, Paul makes a sobering declaration: “No one is righteous—not even one.” Every one of us was created in the image of God, designed to reflect His glory, and given incredible worth. But sin has distorted that image. We aren’t worthless—we are glorious ruins: still bearing the fingerprints of our Creator, yet broken by a power we cannot overcome on our own. In this message, we explore what it means to be “under the power of sin,” why even our best efforts cannot make us righteous before God, and why the law was never meant to save us—it was meant to show us our need for a Savior. And that’s where the good news becomes so powerful. The clearer we see our need, the more clearly we see the greatness of Jesus’ love. Christ didn’t give everything for us because we had earned it. He gave everything because He loves us. The blessing of knowing how sinful we are is discovering just how much we have been loved and forgiven. 📖 Scripture: Romans 3:1–20 ⛪ Wonder Church #GloriousRuins #Romans3 #WonderChurch #Jesus #Grace #Gospel #ChristianSermon

    The Heart of a Man on Mission

    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

    God’s Faithfulness to Israel and to Us

    God’s Faithfulness to Israel and to Us | Romans 11:17–18 What 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

    Romans 2:1-16 | The Judge and Savior

    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.
