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.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58 |
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.

Yet God wants us to live a life of thanksgiving. When we are thankful it changes our attitudes and perceptions on life. We can really thrive when we have an attitude of gratitude!

Mark 6:34-44 |
discipleship
Pastor Gary Combs begins a new sermon series entitled “Time to Thrive” with this message from Mark 6. In the gospel of Mark, Jesus taught his disciples how to prepare for a miracle from God. He taught them how God wanted to use them to accomplish God-sized results where God received the glory. God is still in the miracle business. When we trust God with our lives we put ourselves in a place where miracles can happen. Is it time for a miracle in your life?
In this sermon, Pastor Jonathan Minter walks us through the Gospels to see just how it was that Jesus walked when he was on this earth, and then challenges us "walk as Jesus did".
