In Luke 2:52, the Bible tells us that Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with man. Do you want to grow more like Jesus? This sermon series will help us evaluate how we are doing in our discipleship - or how we are doing in our journey of becoming more like Jesus.

Philippians 4:1-9 |
christmas
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new 4-part Christmas sermon series discussing the truly meaningful gifts that God offers us through Christ. This first message, taken from Philippians 4:1-9, reveals to us the necessary “right” conditions for living a life marked by Joy.
In this eight part series, we will be exploring God's vision for our church and for your household together. When we submit to God's plan for our lives, when we believe in the miraculous power of God, and when we commit to putting everything aside to pursue it, what could happen at WCC? What could happen at your house? Its time to thrive, not just survive at this house and your house.

discipleship
Pastor Gary Combs concludes the “Time to Thrive” series with this message from 1 Corinthians. The apostle Paul told the Corinthians that Christ’s victory over sin and death meant that they could live life to the full, knowing and celebrating that this victory was already theirs. And that everything they did for Christ would matter for eternity. Celebrating this victory that Christ has won, we can live life to the full, we can do more than just survive, we can thrive.
