WCC | Draw Near: Counterfeits, May 24th 2026
May 2400:32:50Tap to summarizeIn this message from the “Draw Near” series, Pastor Jed explores the danger of idolatry through the vivid imagery of Isaiah 44. Using stories about climbing dead trees and trusting weak branches to hold weight, this sermon asks a powerful question: What are you placing the weight of your life on? From carved idols to modern struggles with money, relationships, politics, entertainment, and achievement, this message challenges us to examine what has received our ultimate trust, value, and devotion. Isaiah reminds us that created things collapse under the weight of worship, but God alone is the unshakable Rock who can bear it all.

WCC | Draw Near: Filled with Song, May 17th 2026
May 1800:27:44Tap to summarizeIn week six of our “Draw Near” series, we explore the powerful connection between music and worship. Why has worship throughout history been so closely tied to song? Is music just an emotional tool, or is there something deeper woven into creation itself? Through Ephesians 5, we look at how music becomes an expression of the Spirit’s work in our lives — not the source of it. From the beauty of creation’s “songs” to the truths proclaimed in worship, this message examines how God uses music to help us respond to Him with both truth and emotion.

WCC | Draw Near: Worthy Words, May 10th 2026
May 1800:26:39Tap to summarizeIn this message from the “Draw Near” series, Pastor Jed explores a challenging but important question: what makes a song truly fit for worship? Looking at David’s instructions in 1 Chronicles 16 to “extol, thank, and praise” the Lord, this sermon examines how worship is meant to center on God’s character, actions, and glory rather than ourselves. Through Scripture, hymns, modern worship songs, and practical illustrations, this message calls believers to think carefully about the words they sing and to return to the true heart of worship: “It’s all about You, Jesus.”

WCC | Draw Near: All for the Glory of God May 3rd 2026
May 400:23:13Tap to summarizeIn this message from the Draw Near series, we explore how worship extends far beyond Sunday mornings or quiet times with God. Looking at First Corinthians 10:23–11:1, we discover that even our everyday decisions can become acts of worship.Through practical examples and biblical insight, this sermon unpacks a simple but powerful framework: making decisions with God first, others second, and ourselves last. Whether it’s choosing gratitude over complaint, kindness over sarcasm, or intentional conversations over convenience, each choice becomes an opportunity to glorify God.You’ll be challenged to rethink ordinary moments—meals, conversations, routines—as sacred opportunities to live as a “living sacrifice.” This message also calls us to consider how our decisions can open doors for sharing the gospel and loving others well.Worship isn’t just something we attend—it’s something we live.
