Part 13 - SERIES: Acts The early Christians often found themselves in trouble due to their faith. Pastor Josh spends some time at the beginning of the message reviewing the difference between descriptive and prescriptive passages of Scripture. This week's passage starts off with Luke describing some of the incredible ways God was at work among the early Christians in Acts 5:12-16. However, their testimony got them into trouble with the Jewish leaders who were jealous of what God was doing, and zealous to put a stop to this "Jesus Movement". When your testimony gets you in trouble you can still boldly and joyfully proclaim Jesus because God is with us!

Part 12 - SERIES: Acts In Acts 4:32 and following, Luke gives us a brief summary statement of the good things happening in the early church. It was a time of God pouring out his grace to provide for this people and his power to protect them. There was great unity among them. Luke gives two examples, one good and one devastating, as these things played out. Barnabas showed great authenticity as he followed the Lord and encouraged believers. Ananias and Sapphira, however, aimed to deceive others—even God—with their inauthenticity. God gives grace and power through the Gospel to purge spiritual deception and nurture authenticity! As you follow Jesus, pursue him honestly, knowing you have nothing to prove because he's proven it for you.

Part 11 - SERIES: Acts Acts 3-4 is the chronicles a crazy 24-48 hours for Peter and John, and all the believers. We read about Peter and John going to the Temple to pray. En route they heal a man, then later get arrested for preaching about Jesus and are forced to appear before the Sanhedrin council. The council–due to fear of the people–lets them go but sternly threatens them not to speak of Jesus any more. After they're released, Peter and John go to their friends—the other believers, tell them everything that happened, and they all respond by praying to God. Their prayers express great trust in God while facing the struggle of the reality they're in (rather than just living in the fantasy that God would keep them from any struggle). When life gets crazy (and when it's not!) pray real prayers and watch God work!

New Years Day | Press On Founding Pastor Tom Speicher preaches from Philippians 3:12-14 and shares his heart for Wawasee Bible in the new year. Life is full of changes. We're instructed to make the most of every day and press on as we follow Jesus.

Part 5 - SERIES: Mary's Christmas We wrap up our series turning our attention toward not only Mary but Joseph. Joseph's biggest claim to fame is who he wasn't. We just know him as “not the real dad” of Jesus. Did you also realize that he never speaks a word in the text? In any case, Joseph and Mary both were facing a lot, and God men them in all of it. Christmas reminds us that no matter what we're facing, Almighty God is with us!

Light of the World Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” He announced this during the Feast of Tabernacles, an annual feast celebrating and remembering how God had led his people from Egypt, through the wilderness, and home into the Promised Land. God did this with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night to light the way. In the same way Jesus is leading us home through the wilderness. He's the Light of the World, sent to light our way home.

Part 4 - SERIES: Mary's Christmas The night of Jesus's birth was an intense one for Mary and Joseph. They had just traveled 70 to 100 miles on foot (or possibly with an animal for Mary to ride on) from Nazareth to Bethlehem. It was a hard journey in general, but especially for someone nine months pregnant. Then there was no place to stay, so Jesus's birth happens in a stable (likely a cave) and he's laid down in a feeding trough to sleep. Then a group of shepherds shows up (maybe with their sheep in tow) and interrupts Mary's rest. But Luke tells us Mary "treasured up these things in her heart". She remembered God's goodness, as he was orchestrating everything to fulfill his plans of good for all peoples everywhere. What are you treasuring up in your heart? Your griefs & grievances, or God's goodness & grace?

Part 3 - SERIES: Mary's Christmas Mary was an exceptional young women, a great example to us in her obedience and faithfulness to God. But her saying yes to God was also saying yes to struggle and suffering. This week we see Mary & Joseph's obedience affect Jesus's. While he was young they had him circumcised and dedicated to the Lord according to the Law. Their obedience as parents would affect his future obedience. But it also lead to their own struggles. Mary would face many heartaches due to following God, however she kept going and God was faithful in his goodness to her. It's the same for us. Obedience and faithfulness to God will bring struggle in this broken world, so keep your eyes on the destination!

Part 2 - SERIES: Mary's Christmas We're looking at the biblical account surrounding Jesus's birth through the eyes of Mary. Mary was a teenager when the angel Gabriel appeared to her and announced (all because of God's grace) that she would give birth to the Son of God. In Luke 1:39-56 we see Mary travel to visit her relative Elizabeth whom God also blessed with a child in her old age. Mary then sings a song of praise to God that seems to be highly influenced by the song of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. Mary believed God, was blessed by God, and praised God! What's on your list to praise him for? He's done great things for you, too!

Part 1 - SERIES: Mary's Christmas No one had an experience of the first Christmas like Mary did, and no one else will. This Advent season we're looking at the biblical accounts of Jesus's birth through the eyes of Mary. We'll see her faithfulness as a model for us to follow. This week she's visited by the angel Gabriel who reveals God's incredible call on her life. In the face of all kinds of risk and danger and surely fear… with great courage, Mary says “yes” to God's plan for her. Where do you need to courageously say “yes” to God?

Part 10 - SERIES: Acts If you choose to become a Christian and follow Jesus, life will get better… but it probably will not get easier. When we obey and follow Jesus, opposition is always waiting to discourage, derail, and if possible sabotage our faith. The Apostle Paul wrote to a young pastor, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” Jesus says to us, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” In Acts 4, Peter and John are following Jesus, sharing the gospel, even experiencing the Holy Spirit heal people through them! But they also begin facing some real opposition. In the midst of it, we see them trust God, obey him, and choose joy, praising him! We can do the same. Because if you follow Jesus expect opposition—but know God will give you what you need to boldly live & proclaim what he wants!

Part 9 - SERIES: Acts Repentance gets a bad rap. Often in our culture we think of repentance as a bad thing... a weakness, admitting a wrong done, finding nowhere else to turn after an epic failure. But Biblically, repentance is actually a very good thing. A refreshing thing, even. After the Holy Spirit used Peter and John to heal a man who had been crippled since birth, he then empowered Peter's speaking. Peter proclaimed that it was all because of Jesus, and that turning to him (repenting) would bring true, refreshing, renewing life. The kind we all long for. Repentance is when I recognize my sin, see it the way God sees it, turn to Jesus, and receive forgiveness and renewal!

Part 8 - SERIES: Acts Do you believe in miracles? Acts 3:1-10 record a miracle where Peter and John bring healing to a man lame from birth in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Miracles are anchored in the twin truths that God cares about you and God has limitless power. Miracles are rooted in the historical Jesus Christ of Nazareth who went to the cross for us and rose from the dead. Believers live not in despair or resignation but in trust and joy that whether or not we see a "miracle" today God will carry us one day at a time and eventually heal us completely.

Part 7 - SERIES: Acts In Acts 2:42-47 Luke gives a summary of what was taking place in the Church in its earliest days. This passage (like much of Acts) is descriptive rather than prescriptive, meaning it simple tells us what happened. To apply it, then, we must pull out principles to apply to our own life and context, not simply mimic exactly what they did. God gives much freedom in how each local church functions, but clear principles that should exist at its core. Acts 2:42-47 describes the early church and their devotion to God's Word and to one another!

Part 6 - SERIES: Acts After the Spirit's descent, Peter gives the first Christian sermon in Acts 2:14-41. Preaching was what God used to grow the church. On the surface preaching seems a bit foolish, but God has chosen the proclamation of his Word to be at the center of his work in and through the Church. Peter (who had been cowardly afraid of some middle-school aged girls only 50 days earlier) stands up with courage to boldly preach to everyone on that Pentecost morning. He explained everything that was going on from Scripture, how it was all about Jesus and how we all need him!

Part 5 - SERIES: Acts In Acts 2 we see the Holy Spirit descend and empower his people. This week we step back to explore what "spiritual gifts" are. In short, they are God-given and Spirit-empowered spiritual abilities given to every believer in Jesus, according to God's grace, to help them fulfill their God-given personal purpose as part of the Church. God gives common gifts to everyone (common grace) and spiritual gifts to each one who receives Christ—for Jesus's glory, others' good, and your joy!

Part 4 - SERIES: Acts In Acts 2, God's people are celebrating Pentecost (the Festival of Weeks). As part of it, they are remembering God's provision and how he came in power to Mt. Sinai in Exodus 19-20ff and gave the Law. While all this is going on, God shows up again in a history-changing way. Rather than descend on a place in power, the Holy Spirit descends upon a people in power as the Church begins. When someone becomes a Christian, they are baptized with the Holy Spirit (he indwells them). This happens one time in each believer's life at the moment of conversion. Additionally, though, Christians are to be filled with the Spirit, empowered by him. Filling happens multiple times as we abide in Christ. God sends his Holy Spirit to empower us with good news that some receive and others reject.

Part 3 - SERIES: Acts Before Jesus left, he told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them. In Acts 1:12-26 we see them waiting and making a big decision about who would replace Judas on the team. From their process we can discern some principles for making decisions ourselves that honor God. One thing not to miss as we keep going through Acts is that Acts is not about super-Christians, it's about Jesus using messed up people (like us) to build his church.

Part 2 - SERIES: Acts As Acts begins, Jesus tells the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before they do anything. All through the book of Acts we'll see the Holy Spirit at work in powerful ways. This all begs the question, who is the Holy Spirit? Before we go any further in Acts, we should be sure to understand who the Holy Spirit is. Jesus calls him the “Helper”, even going so far as to say that we're better off with him leaving so that he can send the Spirit. Pastor Josh unpacks a brief theology of the Holy Spirit from John 16:5-15, John 14:15-29 and other passages of Scripture. Jesus didn't leave us alone, he sent the Spirit to help us and empower us for his mission.

Part 1 - SERIES: Acts We begin a new series through the New Testament book of Acts. Pastor Josh covers some helpful background info on the book and works through the first 11 verses of the book. Jesus left us with a mission, but to do it we need his power—we need the Holy Spirit!

Habakkuk | A Prophet with a Problem Habakkuk was an Old Testament prophet with a problem. Specifically, a problem with God. He was troubled both with God's silence and his actions. Yet as we read the book of Habakkuk, we see him discover the solution of living by faith, trusting God to prevail, assured he would come through. We can trust God in the same way through the midst of our own struggles and doubts. (Tom Speicher is the founding pastor of Wawasee Bible.)

Part 14 - SERIES: Parables In Matthew 25, Jesus tells "the Parable of the Talents", giving more instruction on how we should wait for his return. A talent is simply a measurement of weight, and it was often used of money. In his parable we learn that we should wait for Jesus as servants who are commissioned to increase his assets. Following the sermon is a presentation leading into our Annual Meeting for 2022.

Part 13 - SERIES: Parables We're in the midst of waiting for Jesus to return, and he will. But how are we supposed to wait? On the one hand he says he could return at any moment, and on the other he tells us it could be a long time. Jesus gives a series of vignettes and parables in Matthew 24-25 that are intended to answer these questions. We look at three of them this week.We should wait ready for Jesus' return so that we're not surprised when he comes—knowing that we'll give an account to him, even if his coming is long delayed.

Part 12 - SERIES: Parables In Matthew 24 Jesus's disciples ask him about the end times, when Jesus will set up his Kingdom on earth and reign as king. Jesus replies with some details around what will take place before his second coming, things we should pay attention to so we're ready. But it's important to remember that the purpose of prophesy in Scripture is not so that we can sit around and predict the future, but so that we would recognize God's hand when things take place. The purpose of prophecy, then, is recognition, not prediction. For every prophecy about Jesus's first coming, there are approximately 8 more that deal with the end times and his second coming. Every prophecy about his first coming was fulfilled perfectly, and we can have confidence that every one about his return will be as well. Jesus includes a short parable about a fig tree as he encourages us to pay attention to the times—not with fearful hearts but with great hope!

Part 11 - SERIES: Parables Pastor Dave Winters teaches from Matthew 21:28-32 and Jesus's Parable of the Two Sons. Following Jesus means honesty, a change of mind, and obedience.

Part 10 - SERIES: Parables Pastor Craig Clapper preaches from Luke 10:25-37 on the Good Samaritan. The term "Good Samaritan" is used in many places today, but often different than in Scripture. The Samaritan didn't just show compassion and mercy to anyone, but to his enemy. The reactions of the priest and Levite were radically different than that of the Samaritan. Their religiosity became a roadblock to truly following God, and it can be the same today. Religion can be a roadblock to true Christianity. What motivates you to show mercy even to your perceived enemies?

Part 9 - SERIES: Parables Pastor Collin Seitz preaches from Luke 15:1-7 on the Parable of the Lost Sheep. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who diligently seeks us and then carries us back to God. We should be like him. Not isolating ourselves from the world, but being sent into it to love people and invite them to follow Jesus with us. Jesus himself is the narrow road that leads to true life, whereas the wide and easy road leads to destruction. Which road will you choose? And which will you help others find?

Part 8 - SERIES: Parables Jesus was at a banquet at the home of a ruler of the Pharisees when he told a parable about another great banquet. Everyone has been invited to God's party, but many will make excuses not to come. What's your excuse? But those who respond and simply come will be greatly rewarded on that day. In the mean time, they're sent out to invite others to join them.

Part 7 - SERIES: Parables In Luke 12 Jesus teaches the Parable of the Wealthy Man, often known as the Parable of the Rich Fool. He reminds his listeners (and us) to guard their heart from idols. Idols can be any good thing that becomes a “god thing” (and that's a bad thing!). Anything can become an idol in our lives, from items, to duties, to others, to longings, even sufferings. The Rich Fool idolized his stuff and his comfort, finding his security there—until God revealed to him that he would die that night, and that he was a fool for trusting in his idols rather than being rich toward God. His primary hope was entirely in what was stored away in his barn instead of in God. Where is your primary hope? What's your barn filled with? Are you rich toward God? Guard your heart from idols, they deal in lies and false hope, but Jesus deals in true hope.

Part 6 - SERIES: Parables Parables | Part 6: God's Fair v. Our Fair Have you ever felt like God was unfair? Sometimes it can certainly feel that way, and in some ways you might argue it's a good thing that he is. Jesus's parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard addresses this head on in Matthew 20:1-16. God may appear to be unfair, yet God is just and generous—so we are called to be just.

Part 5 - SERIES: Parables In the Parable of the Weeds of the Field, Jesus gives instruction on how to live life as his followers in a world that's broken with sin. We're sent to love people—all people—and invite them to follow Jesus with us. No matter who they are, what they believe, what they've done, their ethnicity, their age, their intellect—no matter who they are every human life bears the image of God and is full of eternal dignity, value, and worth. This world is filled with weeds, so keep planting wheat and wait for the harvest.

Part 4 - SERIES: Parables Luke 15:11-32 is often referred to as the "Parable of the Prodigal Son", but when Jesus begins the parable he says it's a parable about two sons, not just one. The younger son demands his inheritance from his father, then takes off, wastes it all, and returns to a forgiving father. But it's a grave error to think that this story is only about one son. It's actually a tale of two sons, one younger and one older. Both want their father's things but not their father. One repents, and one we're left wondering about. Some of us are like the younger son and others are like the older son—both need to repent. Repentance is (1) recognizing I'm going the wrong way, (2) changing my mind (the word "repent" literally means "a change of mind"), and (3) turning around to go the other way (this is the fruit of repentance). The greatest prodigal in this story (the one who is most lavish and extravagant with his resources) is not the younger son, but the dad.

Part 3 - SERIES: Parables Where is your confidence? In the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in Luke 18:9-14, Jesus draws a stark contrast between those who trust in their own goodness and those who trust in Jesus's goodness. To the shock of those listening, Jesus proclaims that only those like the tax collector who put their trust in Jesus's goodness will get true and eternal life.

Part 2 - SERIES: Parables Parables are simply stories intended to illustrate and teach. Jesus often taught about the Kingdom with parables in order to help people remember his teaching. He used parables to conceal truth from some, and reveal truth to others. In the Parable of the Soils in Matthew 13:1-23 we see different types of reactions to the Gospel, and we're challenged to tend the soil of our own hearts.

Part 1 - SERIES: Parables Pastor Dave kicks off our new series, Parables, with the Parable of the Hidden Treasure in Matthew 13:44.

Part 4 - SERIES: Bookends God created everything and therefore is the one who assigns meaning to everything, including you. Your identity is received from God, not achieved by you. Satan, on the other hand, is always working in reverse, trying (ultimately in vain) to unravel all that God has woven together. In the end Jesus wins and Satan is crushed. God creates and Satan counterfeits—but not forever!

Part 3 - SERIES: Bookends The first chapters of Genesis and the final chapters of Revelation form strikingly parallel bookends to God's Story. In this series we're comparing the two, seeing how God began everything and how he'll ensure that his original intentions will come to fruition in the end. This week we see that God's story is bookend by weddings! The very first wedding in history was a small, private, outdoor, garden wedding in Genesis 2. The final wedding in history will be a massive, public, urban wedding in a huge modern city, followed by a big reception complete with great food and dancing! See Revelation 19 for some of the details. God created us lacking and intended marriage (one man + one woman for one lifetime) to vividly illustrate his commitment to us.

Part 2 - SERIES: Bookends The first chapters of Genesis and the final chapters of Revelation form strikingly parallel bookends to God's Story. In this series we're comparing the two, seeing how God began everything and how he'll ensure that his original intentions will come to fruition in the end. This week we look at God planting the Garden in Eden with the intention of Adam & Eve growing it into a City where God would forever live among his people. As we wait for this City, Jesus exhorts us to choose our treasure. For wherever we find our treasure, our hearts and lives will follow.

Part 1 - SERIES: Bookends The first chapters of Genesis and the final chapters of Revelation form strikingly parallel bookends to God's Story. In this series we're comparing the two, seeing how God began everything and how he'll ensure that his original intentions will come to fruition in the end. This week we look at creation, and God's plan to go from Creation to New Creation. All of it begs the question, “How big is your God?” If he's big enough to speak the universe into existence, and if he's big enough to ensure everything will go as he's planned in the end, is he big enough for you to trust in the day to day chaos and struggle of your own life?

Easter 2022 | Eyes Opened On the afternoon of his resurrection Jesus took a walk with a couple of his disciples. But it wasn't until they made it to their destination that they recognized who he was. On their 2+ hour journey, Jesus explained to them how all of the Old Testament points to him. Then, finally, their eyes were opened and they realized who he was. In the same way Jesus encounters us to prove who he is and open our eyes!

Part 3 - SERIES: Famous Last Words Famous Last Words | Part 3: Jesus's Famous Surrender We're in a short series looking at some of Jesus's final words before his death on the cross. This week we see his famous surrender when he said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit," just before he breathed his last. Pastor Dave leads us to see that like Jesus we can run to the Father and put our life in his hands, no matter the circumstances. And we should remember that just like Jesus, after surrender comes resurrection and new life.

Part 2 - SERIES: Famous Last Words Famous Last Words | Part 2: Jesus's Famous Pardon A person's last words matter, and are often some of their most remembered words. It's no different with Jesus. In this short series we're looking at some of his famous last words. In Scripture there are 7 phrases recorded that Jesus uttered from the cross. This week we look at 4 of them and will see that God's forgiveness is costly, but given freely and completely to any who would turn to Jesus in faith.

Part 1 - SERIES: Famous Last Words A person's last words matter, and are often some of their most remembered words. It's no different with Jesus. In this short series we're looking at some of his famous last words. This week Tom Speicher leads us through Jesus's prayer the night before he was crucified in John 17. We see him pray for himself, pray for the apostles, and pray for us—his church.
