On Sunday morning, we launched into a brand-new study of the Book of Ruth called “Broken Pieces Made Beautiful.” Even though the story of Ruth is marked by famine, death, and heartbreak, God takes the broken pieces and writes a beautiful redemption story for His glory and His people’s good. What kind of encouragement can you discover in the book of Ruth, when your life comes crashing down? What can God do with the broken pieces of your story? (The Book of Ruth, part 1)

On Sunday, April 19th, our church participated in an extra-special “Pulpit Swap Sunday”, where I exchanged pulpits for the day with Dr. Terry Felton from Mason Dixon Baptist Church in New Freedom, Pennsylvania. That morning, Pastor Felton spoke at Wrightsdale on the critical topic of pride, from 2 Kings chapter 14. Why is pride so devastating and debilitating in the life of a Christian— and how can you push back against it in your everyday life? (Pulpit Swap Sunday 2026)

When Jesus redeems us, He gives us so much more than just the forgiveness of our sins. Of course, His death removes the negative penalties that we deserve—like God’s wrath and eternal punishment. But the Bible also teaches that through Christ, we now have many positive privileges and new honors granted to us. So in addition to forgiveness, what else has come to you today because of Jesus Christ? (A Message for Communion)

Even though the opponents of Jesus were happy to see His execution, Jesus worked His greatest miracle on that first Resurrection Sunday, when He triumphed victoriously over death and the grave. As we study this world-shaking event, what power did Jesus display at His resurrection? And what does this power mean for your life in the here and now? (The Hour Has Come, part 3. Conclusion)

There’s no doubt that Jesus was one of the most misunderstood people in history, and nowhere was that more evident than the Sunday He entered Jerusalem on a donkey. This was a day filled with misplaced expectations and serious misunderstandings. What did the cheering crowd fail to understand that day? How are people today still misunderstanding Jesus? (The Hour Has Come, part 2)

After the resurrection of Lazarus, the religious leaders reach a breaking point and hold a meeting to decide what to do about Jesus. What do these leaders discuss? What is their plan to stop Jesus? What vital lessons can you learn about the evil plans of people and God’s eternal purposes? (The Hour Has Come, part 1)

In Revelation 3, Jesus called out the church at Laodicea for their complacency, lukewarmness, and total ineffectiveness. As we listen to Jesus rebuke lukewarm believers, what is most needed by complacent Christians in today’s world? How can you avoid settling into a complacent, comfortable Christianity that serves self instead of the Savior? (Seven Letters, part 8- Conclusion)

On Sundays at Wrightsdale we’ve been in a message series called “7 Letters”, where we’re examining Jesus’ words to seven churches of the NT era. The church at ancient Philadelphia received no corrections from Jesus, but only commendations-- because of their faithfulness. What does it mean to be a faithful church? How can you make sure that your church is remaining faithful in an age of corruption and compromise? (Seven Letters, part 7)

While some churches receive commendation in Revelation 2-3, one church gets a harsh critique for being “dead.” What does a dead church look like, and is there any hope of reviving one? What can you learn about diagnosing spiritual disease in a dead or dying church? (Seven Letters, part 6)

In Revelation 2-3, Jesus speaks candidly to seven churches of the ancient world. Can you imagine a church congregation looking the other way when public, persistent sin was happening in their midst? Is your church supposed to be tolerant at any cost? What would Jesus say to a negligent church that continues to tolerate sin? (Seven Letters, part 5)
