    270 - MISSIONS - Haiti Update: How is God calling you to use your everyday life, skills, and influence to speak Jesus and make disciples?

    How is God calling you to use your everyday life, skills, and influence to speak Jesus and make disciples?   Key Truths: God calls every believer to live on mission, not just pastors or missionaries. There is no divide between “sacred” ministry and everyday work—God can use business, school, family life, and skills for His glory. Jesus met both physical and spiritual needs, and the church is called to do the same. Meeting immediate needs can create opportunities for long-term transformation and discipleship. The gospel should motivate believers to live differently and actively make disciples where they are. Sustainable ministry equips local believers to continue the work long after mission teams leave. God uses different people with different gifts and callings to accomplish His mission. Prayer, generosity, serving, and going are all vital parts of participating in God’s kingdom work. The Holy Spirit equips believers with gifts, fruit, and power to serve others and proclaim Christ. The church is called to “speak Jesus” boldly in homes, workplaces, communities, and nations.   Gospel Response: Jesus lived the perfect life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose again so we could have new life in Him. Because of the gospel, we are not called to sit still—we are called to go. Surrender your gifts, time, work, and influence to God, and ask Him to use your everyday life to speak Jesus boldly wherever He sends you. ➡️ Let's Go! discoverwbc.com/missions/   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 269 - SERMON - Live Up: What is guarding your heart and mind—your feelings, your circumstances, or the peace of God in Christ? Philippians 4:7

    What is guarding your heart and mind—your feelings, your circumstances, or the peace of God in Christ?   Key Truths: God’s peace is not just a feeling—it is a protector that guards your heart and mind. You don’t need a temporary emotional fix—you need truth that transforms how you think. God’s peace surpasses your situation, not by removing it, but by rising above it. Peace guards right thinking, so circumstances don’t turn into anxiety. What fills your mind matters—truth must replace Satan’s lies. God is your guard, and His Word is your weapon—you are both protected and equipped to fight back. Anxiety grows when you try to control everything; peace comes when you surrender control to God. You must ask: What am I trusting to guard me instead of God?   Gospel Response: Stop chasing a feeling of peace and start trusting the God of peace. In the gospel, Jesus lived perfectly, died in your place, and rose in victory—so you don’t have to be ruled by anxiety, lies, or chaos. Because you are in Christ, God Himself guards your heart and mind.   Surrender what you’re trying to control, tear down the false “guards” (money, control, comfort, identity), and fill your mind with what is true, honorable, and pure. When Satan speaks lies, fight back with truth.   Rest in this: God’s peace doesn’t just comfort you—it protects you. And because Christ has already won, you can trust Him in every circumstance and let His truth shape how you think, not just how you feel.   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 4:7   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 268 - SERMON - Live Up: What are you trying to control that actually belongs to God? Philippians 4:6

    Anxiety is a heart divided by a thousand concerns—trying to carry burdens you were never meant to hold. What are you trying to control that actually belongs to God? In Philippians 4:6, we are told not to worry about anything, but instead to bring everything to God with prayer and thanksgiving. The issue isn’t having concerns—it’s allowing those concerns to control us.   The root of anxiety often comes from: - Trying to control what only God can control - Carrying responsibilities God never gave you - Being consumed by insecurity, pride, or “filthy scraps” of this world   The solution is learning the difference between: - Your responsibility (what God has called you to do) - Your influence (what you can affect but not control) - God’s responsibility (what only He can carry)   When we confuse these, anxiety grows. When we surrender them, peace begins.   Gospel Response: Release control and trust Jesus with what you were never meant to carry.   Empty yourself of false control, idols, and overwhelming concerns. Bring every burden to Christ in prayer with a thankful heart. Trust that Jesus alone can carry what you cannot—and will guard your heart with His peace.   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 4:6   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 267 - SERMON - Live Up: When you are pressed by life’s difficulties, what comes out of you—gentle grace or bitterness? Philippians 4:5

    Like an olive tree that is pressed to produce oil, our lives reveal what’s inside when we face pressure. Paul calls us to “let your graciousness (gentle grace) be known to everyone” even in suffering, because the Lord is near. When you are pressed by life’s difficulties, what comes out of you—gentle grace or bitterness? Seasons of hardship don’t determine our response—our roots do. If we are rooted in Christ, grace will flow out. If not, bitterness will surface.   Gospel Response: Receive and rest in the grace of Jesus so that His grace flows out of you. 👉 If you’ve never trusted Christ → Turn from your way and receive His mercy and new life. 👉 If you’re being pruned → Embrace God’s work of removing what doesn’t reflect Him. 👉 If you’re in a hard season → Trust that God is refining you, not abandoning you.   If you feel pressure → Root yourself deeper in Christ so grace—not venom—comes out. Jesus didn’t respond to suffering with retaliation—He responded with gentle grace at the cross. Because of His grace toward you, you can now extend grace to others.   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 4:5   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 266 - SERMON - Live Up: How can we truly rejoice in Christ when life is filled with suffering, struggle, and brokenness? Philippians 4

    Rejoice in Every Season 🙌 How can we truly rejoice in Christ when life is filled with suffering, struggle, and brokenness? Because of the resurrection of Jesus, what seems like loss, pain, or “filthy scraps” can be transformed into something good—so we can rejoice in Christ in every circumstance.   Key Truths 1. Rejoicing is a Command, Not a Feeling: - “Rejoice in the Lord always” is not based on circumstances. - Paul commands joy even while in prison. - Joy is rooted in Christ, not comfort.   2. We Rejoice Because We Are Not Alone: - God is always present in our suffering. - The community of believers reminds us we are not forgotten. - Even in the valley, the Shepherd is with us.   3. Christ, Not Circumstances, Is Our Source of Joy: - Contentment is learned (Philippians 4:11–12). - Whether in abundance or need, Christ is enough. - Circumstances fluctuate, but Christ remains constant.   4. The Gospel Transforms Our Suffering: - The resurrection turns “dung into manure” (pain into growth). - What Satan intends for destruction, God uses for good. - The cross looked like defeat—but became victory.   5. Our Response Reveals Our Heart: Instead of rejoicing, we often respond with: - Grumbling - Blaming (God or others) - Despair - Self-condemnation (insecurity) - Pride (arrogance) But the gospel calls us to: - Humble dependence on Christ - Rejoicing even while lamenting   6. Humility is the Key to Rejoicing" - Arrogance: “I’m strong, I can handle this.” - Insecurity: “I’m weak, I’ll never overcome.” - Humility: “I am weak, but Christ is strong in me.”   True joy comes when we rely on Christ’s strength, not our own.   7. Rejoicing is Spiritual Warfare: - Our response to suffering is a witness to others. - Rejoicing in hardship defeats Satan’s purposes. - Joy is evidence of the Holy Spirit at work.   Gospel Response: Jesus entered our suffering, died in our place, and rose again—proving that brokenness is not the end. Because of Him: - We are never alone - Our suffering is not wasted - Our weakness becomes the place of God’s power - Our future is resurrection, not defeat So we respond by: - Turning from self-reliance to Christ - Rejoicing in Him (not our circumstances) - Trusting that God is transforming our pain for His glory   Where in your life are you tempted to complain instead of rejoice? What “filthy scraps” is God trying to transform into growth? What would it look like this week to rejoice in Christ in that situation?   Rejoice in Christ—whether you wear a crown or bear a cross—because the resurrection guarantees that God is working all things for good.   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 4   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 265 - SERMON - Live Up: Will you humble yourself and bow before King Jesus now, or continue living for yourself through insecurity or arrogance? Philippians 2:9-11

    Humiliation leads to exaltation - Jesus emptied Himself, became a servant, and endured the cross—and because of that, God highly exalted Him. Will you humble yourself and bow before King Jesus now, or continue living for yourself through insecurity or arrogance?   In the same way, we are called to: 👉 Empty ourselves 👉 Serve others 👉 Endure the cross God has given us   Not to gain status—but to gain Christ.   We are often trapped in: 📌 Insecurity → trying to prove our worth 📌 Arrogance → trying to protect our worth   Both are rooted in the same problem: A life focused on self instead of Christ   Gospel Truth: The resurrection changes everything: You don’t need to prove yourself. You don’t need to promote yourself. You don’t need a resume before God. Because, Jesus’ finished work is your identity, your worth, and your hope. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord—the question is when.   Gospel Response: Bow before Jesus now. Empty yourself of pride, insecurity, and self-centered living. Trust in Christ alone—not your performance, not your identity, not your worth.   Follow Him by surrendering your life, serving others, taking up your cross, and finding your confidence not in yourself, but in this truth. “I am exalted by God through Christ.”   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 2:9-11   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 264 - SERMON - Live Up: Are you seeking a crown for yourself—or are you willing to take up the cross and serve like Jesus? Philippians 2:5-8

    Follow the Humble Savior ✝️ The humble don’t chase a crown—they follow Jesus to the cross, trusting the crown will come. Are you seeking a crown for yourself—or are you willing to take up the cross and serve like Jesus?   We all wrestle with two extremes: - Arrogance → chasing glory, recognition, and status - Insecurity → fearing humiliation and avoiding service   But both keep us focused on ourselves.   Jesus shows a completely different way: - He emptied Himself - He took the form of a servant - He humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross   The King became a servant— not to be served, but to serve. True humility is not thinking less of yourself—it’s being so secure in Christ that you can focus on others.   Gospel Response: Confess where you’ve been pursuing kingship instead of servanthood—and follow Jesus into humility. 👉 Lay down your need for recognition or approval 👉 Stop fearing how others see you 👉 Find your identity fully in Christ (not in status, success, or opinion) 👉 Choose to empty yourself, serve others, and endure whatever “cross” God places before you   Because: Jesus emptied Himself for you—so you can live securely in Him and give your life away for others. Empty → What do you need to let go of? Become → Who is God calling you to be? (a servant) Endure → What cross are you called to carry?   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 2:5-8   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.

    Ep 263 - SERMON - Live Up: Jesus chose the cross so we can receive the crown, and we choose our cross so others can find their crown. Philippians 2:3-4

    We often live shaped by what we see in ourselves—either arrogance (thinking too highly) or insecurity (thinking too lowly). But both are rooted in the same problem: thinking about ourselves too much. Paul calls us to something different—humility. Not seeing ourselves as less, but thinking of ourselves less and seeing ourselves rightly in Christ. Jesus chose the cross so we can receive the crown, and we choose our cross so others can find their crown. Who is defining your identity—and what do you see when you look in the mirror?   Jesus modeled this perfectly: He emptied Himself, took on the form of a servant, and went to the cross - so we could receive life, identity, and a crown through Him.   Now we follow Him by: 👉 Laying down selfish ambition 👉 Letting go of empty pursuits (“filthy scraps”) 👉 Fixing our eyes on Christ instead of ourselves 👉 Considering others above ourselves   Gospel response: When Jesus holds your mirror, you stop living for yourself and start living like Him. Hand over the mirror to Jesus. Stop letting culture, other people, your past, or your own thoughts define who you are.   Instead: Let Jesus show you who you are in Him, move from slave → son/daughter, see not who you were, but who God is making you to be and walk in humility by focusing on Christ and serving others because; Jesus chose the cross so we could receive the crown - now we take up our cross so others can find theirs.   ⏫ 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗨𝗣 ⏫ 📖 Philippians 2:3-4   Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes and upcoming services.
