    MAMMOTH: His Provision > My Devotion

    His Provision > My Devotion | Mammoth Series | Pastor CJ Witkoe What if giving to God was never meant to be about proving our devotion, but remembering His provision? For many, tithing and generosity have become religious obligations—something we do out of duty, guilt, or the hope that God will bless us in return. But Scripture reveals a much greater purpose behind our giving. In Genesis 22:13–14, Abraham discovers God as Yahweh-Yireh—the Lord who provides. When Abraham was called to make an unimaginable sacrifice, God Himself provided what was required. This powerful story ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice God provided to save us from our sins. In this message from our Mammoth series, Pastor CJ explores the biblical history of tithing, the heart behind Christian generosity, and how giving can become a spiritual discipline that leads us into greater freedom. We'll discover why God's blessing is promised, not purchased; why generosity is about the heart rather than the amount; and how our giving can become a testimony of God's faithfulness rather than a measure of our own righteousness. The bottom line: Our lives are focused on God's provision, not our devotion. True freedom from the power of money doesn't come from giving enough, doing enough, or proving ourselves faithful. It comes from trusting the One who has already given us everything in Jesus Christ. Are you giving to earn God's blessing, or because you've already received it? 📖 Scripture: Genesis 22:13–14; Genesis 14:18–20; Deuteronomy 14:22–29; Luke 21:2–4; 2 Corinthians 8:9 ⛪ About Wonder Church Wonder Church is a Christian church in Redmond, Washington, committed to helping people know Jesus and grow as His disciples. 🌐 Learn more: https://wonderchurch.com #HisProvision #MammothSeries #WonderChurch #JehovahJireh #BiblicalGenerosity #Tithing #ChristianLiving #FaithAndFinances

    MAMMOTH: Freedom From The Spirit of Mammon

    Freedom From The Spirit of Mammon | Mammoth Series | Pastor CJ Witkoe Who is really in control of your life—Jesus or money? We live in a world where financial pressure seems unavoidable. Rising costs, uncertain futures, and the constant pursuit of more can leave us feeling overwhelmed. But Jesus reveals that our greatest financial struggle isn't necessarily how much money we have—it's how much power we've given it over our hearts. In Matthew 6:19–24, Jesus challenges us to examine our treasure, our vision, and ultimately, our lordship. Money was never meant to be our source of security, significance, or status. Those things are found in Christ alone. In this opening message of our Mammoth series, Pastor CJ explores the ancient power of mammon and how we can experience freedom from its grip. We'll discover why our hearts follow our treasure, how generosity reveals our spiritual vision, and why we cannot serve both God and money. The bottom line: Money is servant. Jesus is Lord. When we place our faith in Jesus and find our identity, security, and hope in Him, money can finally become what it was always meant to be—a tool for God's purposes rather than a master over our lives. So, who is your Lord? 📖 Scripture: Matthew 6:19–24 ⛪ About Wonder Church Wonder Church is a Christian church in Redmond, Washington, committed to helping people know Jesus and grow as His disciples. 🌐 Learn more: https://wonderchurch.com #Lordship #MammothSeries #WonderChurch #FaithAndFinances #ChristianLiving #BiblicalStewardship #JesusIsLord

    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?
