    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.

    Romans 1:1-17 | I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel

    Romans 1:1–17 | I am not Ashamed of the Gospel Before 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

    Friendship in Marriage | Song of Solomon 5:10–16 Marriage 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

    Spirit-filled Friendship | Acts 2:1–6 Pentecost 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
