Wyoming Valley Church Sermon Podcast

We have a different lesson this Sunday as we explore 7 declarations Jesus made about Him being "The Great I Am". And we invited our children to stay for this lesson. So using several illustrations to explain what Jesus meant, we seek to understand that Jesus is EVERYTHING we need and want, and that giving Him our ALL should seem obvious once we understand that. We hope this blesses you!

In our lesson this time, we look at a story Jesus told once about being prepared for His 2nd coming. This story is also a warning to all of us and it's something we need to really listen to so what we're confident about who we belong to and where we are going for all of eternity when the Lord returns. We pray this would bless you and help prepare you to meet Jesus!

Pastor Mel speaks to us about commitment to Jesus from John 21, using a conversation between the Lord Jesus and the Apostle Peter during breakfast. The question is simple from Jesus, "Do you love, Me?" The Apostle Peter 3 times declared that he did indeed love Jesus. But Jesus' response Peter is what the Lord wants from all of us - commitment and love towards Him. We hope this blesses you!

In this lesson, we will look at 3 stories and 3 strong men who controlled people and wouldn't let them go. But, thanks be to God, there is a Stronger Man and His Name is Jesus. And this Jesus will prove His almighty power and authority over sickness, demon possession, and even death and free us forever from sin to live for righteousness. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!

The Lord Jesus came to shape our thinking, to give us Eternal Life and to nourish our souls. In John 6, He gave us insight into these spiritual blessings, but for some it was hard to understand and believe. We will look at what the Bread of Life is and how important it is for our eternal well-being. We hope this blesses you and increases your faith in the Lord!

God is both our Creator and our Redeemer. His desire for us is that we bear Him much fruit of righteousness. In this lesson, we will discover that bearing fruit is our chief end as God's people, that we cannot do it on our own, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is our strength and hope to do so. We also will see that the secret to bearing fruit for God is by loving His people. We hope this blesses your soul!

In our lesson today, we'll discuss "The Great Decision" from Luke 9, whether we should follow Jesus or get what we want first. Pastor Mel (in spite of losing his voice) lays before us some wonderful truths about how we can trust the Lord with our present, future and our past and why all of that should cause us to go forward for Jesus in faithful devotion to Him. We hope this blesses your soul!

When Jesus was about to leave this earth, He made concessions for His people so that they could continue and even surpass the works that He had done. So He left us a very special gift. This gift was going to change the world and it just might be the most profound thing anyone can ever experience on this earth. We will look at the Holy Spirit and what exactly He enables us to do, for the sake of God's glory. We hope this blesses your soul!

In this lesson, we'll look at a story of two different characters and their treatment towards Jesus and consider what our love and worship should be towards the Lord based on having a proper perspective of forgiveness. We hope this blesses your soul!

Does the Lord promise to calm every storm or trial in our lives? We'll take a look at a story from Matthew 8 at a time Jesus' disciples had to learn this answer. Jesus does offer us a calm, but the calm He offers us is actually much more profound than calm waters in the physical realm. Hopefully we will gain a calmness in the soul by looking at the Calm of every storm - the Lord Jesus. Blessings to you!

We have spent the last 4 weeks studying the Church and its value in our lives. And now it's time we take what we learned and put it into practice as we seek to scale the Summit of Christianity. We will use the illustration of climbing Mount Everest to hopefully inspire us to climb the biggest, boldest mountain to ever exist - being fully pleasing to our Lord Jesus. We hope this will bless you as you seek to Be the Church!

Continuing our series on the Church, we now turn our focus to how to function as the Church. Pastor Mel Walker breaks down many spiritual gifts the Lord has given and the Church needs if we want it to blossom and flourish. He also gives us several very practical principles from God's Word to help us stay committed and get invested in our unique and special God-given role as the Church. We hope this blesses your soul!

In our series on the Church, we have studied what the Church is and why the Church is so important to both God's will and our benefit. This time we will study who makes up the Church and why the Church offers us something no one else or nothing else can. We seek to set our eyes upon the Lord Jesus so that His Church becomes our greatest treasure and purpose. We hope this blesses your soul!

Once we understand what the Church is according to God's Word, we then must understand why it's so beneficial for our souls and the Kingdom of God. As Pastor Mel Walker expounds, the Church is BIG, it's God's plan for spiritual/eternal domination, but it's also the best fit for each person who has turned to Jesus. The Church is strongest when we buy into it and embrace our roles. It's important to know that we fit in God's Church! We hope this is a blessing to you!

We begin a series on the Church. There's a confusion today of what is the Church. This confusion is hurting God's people and weakening our ability to defeat evil on the earth. If we see and define the Church the way God does, we greatly increase our ability to fight the devil as well as unlock the greatest purpose and plan any of us could ever find. What is the Church? Let's find out together...

In this lesson, to go along with Communion, we study the passage from Luke 17:11-19 about Jesus healing the 10 lepers. Jesus heals 10 lepers and only one returns back to give Jesus thanks for what He did. So we'll discuss Jesus' posing question "Where are the 9?". And along the way, we'll discover an amazing parallel for what Jesus could have been asking every single one of us. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!

In many respects, the Christian life is a battle. And we all have one common enemy in that battle, the devil. This devil is doing all he can to destroy us, and so God (through 1 Peter 5:8-14) gives us some very important instructions for how to fight and win this battle against our spiritual foe. We hope you would pay very close attention to these truths and arm yourselves today against evil. If we're in Christ, we fight as Victors! Blessings!

Doing some things in an improper fashion can still bring about a desired result, but operating a church in an improper fashion will result in total failure. In this special message, Pastor Todd and Pastor Mel tag-team to discuss how to have and lead a church the proper way; the way God has designed it, by following our Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. We truly hope this blesses your soul!

Death comes for all us on this earth, and it haunts us and terrorizes us. But what if there was a cure for death? What if death could be changed from the thing that spoils our lives, to a door to Eternal Life? Well, thankfully there is a cure for death and He's a person. We will explore this Cure and seek to change our perspective on how we live here on the earth by getting this Cure. We hope this blesses your soul!

Pastor Mel speaks from 1 Peter 4 about how when we suffer for Christ's sake we glorify our God. We hope this blesses your soul!
