    Rooted and Resilient | Psalm 1

    "Summer of Wisdom: The Blessing of Wisdom" | Psalm 1 This Sunday, we are going to begin a summer sermon series in the Psalms called “Summer of Wisdom.”  The “wisdom psalms” are psalms designed to do exactly what you would expect… to impart to us divine wisdom. Psalm 111 reads “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it will have understanding. His praise endures forever!” Biblical wisdom is possessing a true knowledge of God and living a life that is consistently aligned with bringing glory to God and good/blessing to humanity. Wisdom possesses true knowledge and practices it. This Sunday, we will begin with Psalm 1. It is suggested by Bible scholars that Psalm 1 and 2 are the introductory summary statements for understanding all of the Psalms. Psalm 1 shows both the present practical implications of pursuing God’s wisdom and the eternal implications of choosing the right or wrong path. Pursuing wisdom has serious implications for our lives. Here’s a simple question for you: How intentional is your pursuit of possessing the wisdom of God? Think for just a moment: What are the influences that are predominantly shaping your understanding of life and how to live it? What is shaping your values? Where do you get your wisdom? Psalm 1 will teach us that it is the joy and the duty of every sincere Christian to make the pursuit of God’s wisdom the priority of his or her life. God’s blessing is for those who take this calling seriously. We are looking forward to growing together in God’s Word and God’s wisdom this summer.  Invite a friend as we join to worship our Lord at 9 and 11 a.m. God is good!  Stay up to date with all our events this summer. We have worship by the lake some Sundays at 10am followed by a church luncheon. Check out our Summer Opportunities page - https://www.waterbrooke.church/pages/summer-opportunities-at-waterbrooke

    The God Who Hears, Sees, & Knows" | Exodus 2:23-25

    "The God Who Hears, Sees, & Knows" | Exodus 2:23-25 This week, Bruce Washington will be sharing a message titled “The God Who Hears, Sees, and Knows” from Exodus 2:23–25. In this passage, the Israelites are suffering under bondage in Egypt and cry out to God—and He hears their groaning, sees their suffering, and knows their need. You can preview the text below: 23 During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.   Discover Waterbrooke Church in Victoria MN - www.waterbrooke.church

    "Carpe Diem" | Acts 28:17-31

    "Carpe Diem" | Acts 28:17-31 In our final study in the book of Acts (Acts 18:17-31), Luke records the apostle Paul’s ministry while under house arrest in Rome. Acts ends, not with Paul free and traveling, but under house arrest in Rome. And yet, nothing about him feels restricted. Listen to how Luke describes it: Paul is “proclaiming the kingdom of God…with all boldness and without hindrance.” Without hindrance. He’s in chains. He’s confined. His future is uncertain. And still—bold, fruitful, and free. That’s what makes this moment so striking. The greatest limitation in Paul’s life becomes a platform for some of his greatest ministry. No excuses. No retreat into self-pity. Just a man so gripped by Christ that even confinement becomes opportunity. We tend to think, “I could do more if my situation were different.” Paul shows us the opposite: gospel confidence doesn’t wait for better circumstances—it seizes the moment right in front of us. That’s why our final message in Acts is called Carpe Diem—seize the day. The question isn’t whether opportunities to minister to others in the name of Christ exist. It’s whether we’ll see them… and step into them. So how do we become people like Paul—free from fear, bold in faith, and ready to turn every moment, even the hard ones, into gospel opportunity?

    "Favorable Winds" | Acts 28:11-16

    There’s an old Irish blessing that many of you have likely heard: “May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face The rains fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand.” As we come to the end of the book of Acts (chapter 28), the winds have shifted favorably on the apostle Paul and his team. Now, they make their way speedily towards Rome where Paul will have opportunity to defend himself and to share the hope of Jesus Christ. What you and I are meant to see here is that for the Christian, no matter what we face in our journey of life in service to Christ, the wind is always at our back. Why? Because there never is a time when God doesn’t hold us in the palm of his hand. He is the Captain of our lives and if that’s the case, we can be assured of our eventual outcome.  If God is for us, who can be against us? As Luke brings this book of Acts to its conclusion, he drives home the glorious truth that God is the one who is steering the ship of Paul’s life and mission. Ultimately, the blowing winds and the people in power must do God’s bidding. This is meant to give us not just comfort but courage for our calling. It is meant to invigorate our faith for carrying the mantle of God’s mission in this world no matter what we are facing. Our sermon this Sunday from Acts 28:11-15 is called, Favorable Winds.

    And So it Begins" | Acts 28:1-10

    Have you ever seen the TV show Alone? Ten people are dropped into the wilderness with only a few supplies, and the moment the helicopter lifts away, reality sets in: “Okay… here we go.” All the preparation leads to that one moment—the start of the journey. In a similar way, as we come to the final chapter of the book of Acts, we don’t find a neat and tidy ending. Instead, we’re given something much more powerful—an invitation. The story isn’t finished. In many ways, it’s just beginning. Acts reminds us that God’s mission didn’t stop in the early church. It continues today, moving outward into new places, new people, and new opportunities. It’s a story still being written—and we’re part of it. Like the closing lines of a great story, we’re meant to look around and say, “Here we are… here we go.” God is already at work in the world—bringing hope into brokenness, light into darkness, and life where it’s needed most. And He invites us to join Him. This Sunday, we studied at Acts 28 and were encouraged by the truth that the mission of God is moving forward with power and purpose. Our sermon is called “And So It Begins.” The mantle of the mission of God is being passed on from the apostles to the church. Thank God the good news is this: It’s not dependent on us—it’s driven by Him. And that’s exactly why we can step forward with confidence and hope. We’d love for you to join us each Sunday as we gather, worship, and lean into what God is doing—both in the world and in our own lives. Be prayerful that God might work a new, fresh work in each of our lives and engage our hearts together in joyful devotion to Jesus. Looking forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.

    "Sailing Into Storms" | Acts 27:1-44

    This Sunday considered a truth vividly portrayed in the apostle Paul’s life:  Storms are powerful places of service for Christ.  I think so many times when we think about the storms of life that we face, we often think from the perspective of perseverance and sanctification. How do we grow? How do we persevere when the going gets tough? One of the most powerful testimonies of the reality of Paul’s faith and confidence in the Lord is the contrast of his unwillingness to save his life at the expense of others when he is in the middle of danger and hardship. In Acts 27, God strategically places Paul as the servant to those who imprison him, who want to abandon him, and who even want to kill him. He speaks words of hope and promise when all others are filled with despair. It’s one thing to see our trials and hardships as places of perseverance. It’s another thing to have the mind of Christ and to see them as powerful moments to demonstrate the love, the grace, and the mercy of God. Would you pray this week that God would help us all to see that when our lives are in danger and in trouble, it may just be the place that God wants us to demonstrate the sacrificial love and power of our Lord Jesus Christ?  Wouldn’t it be a marvelous gift that we could say, instead of “How long, O Lord?”, we could say “Here I am, send me!” Looking forward to encouraging each other through worship this Sunday. Come in prayerful anticipation that God will meet with us in power and in mercy as a church family! Invite a friend! www.waterbrooke.church

    "Hope for the Hardest of Hearts" | Acts 26

    This Sunday, we explored a “Hope for the Hardest of Hearts.” In Acts 26, the apostle Paul stands before powerful rulers—King Agrippa and Governor Festus. The pressure is real. Accusations are flying. The goal of his opponents is clear: silence Paul and stop the spread of the gospel. But something remarkable happens. Instead of shrinking back, Paul leans in. What was meant to be an interrogation becomes a testimony. What was meant to suppress the gospel becomes a platform to proclaim it. With courage and clarity, Paul speaks about the risen Christ—and the hope of resurrection, even for those sitting in judgment over him. And that raises an important question for us: Do we really believe that no heart is beyond the reach of God’s grace? It’s easy to quietly write people off—to assume some are too hardened, too resistant, too far gone. Yet the very gospel we proclaim declares that Jesus has conquered sin and death. If that’s true, then even the hardest heart is not beyond His power to save. This coming Sunday, come with expectation. Come ready to be encouraged. And maybe bring someone with you who needs to hear that there is hope—even for them. We’re looking forward to worshiping together on the Lord’s Day.

    "Trusting the King" | Acts 25

    This Sunday, we dove into Acts 25 and a message called Trusting the King. After two long years in custody, Paul’s situation suddenly heats up again under a new governor. The threats against him haven’t gone away—but neither has God’s control. What looks like delay and danger is actually unfolding according to God’s perfect timing. We all face seasons that feel confusing, frustrating, or out of control. In those moments, it’s easy to question what God is doing. But our peace doesn’t come from having all the answers—it comes from knowing the One who does. This passage invites us to trust God, even when life doesn’t make sense—to bring Him our doubts, rest in His character, and remember that He is always at work. If you’re in a hard or uncertain season, this message is for you. Come be encouraged as we learn together what it means to truly trust the King. Looking forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.
