October 4th 2026 In this message we take an honest look at the danger of performance culture in our walk with Jesus. Through Matthew 6 we see Jesus challenge our desire for recognition and remind us that our motives matter. Instead of performing for people or trying to prove our faith God calls us into the secret place a place of intimacy, surrender, prayer, and transformation. You don’t have to prove you’ve spent time with God. Your life will. This message is an invitation to fall in love with the secret place, hear from God, and live for His approval above the applause of others.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

September 27th 2026 The way we treat people can reveal a lot about the reality of our faith. In James 2, we’re challenged to move beyond favoritism, labels, disagreements, and judgment. Instead, we’re called to see people the way God sees them, love our neighbors, protect the unity of the church, and extend mercy. Real faith doesn’t just change what we believe—it changes how we treat people. “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:13   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

September 20th 2026 What does genuine faith actually look like? In this message, we continue through the book of James and discover that real faith is more than simply hearing or believing God’s Word it’s putting it into action. James reminds us that God’s Word is truth, saves us, sanctifies us, and sends us. We’re challenged to let Scripture shape the way we think, speak, live, and serve others. Don’t just listen to the Word. Do what it says.

September 13th 2026  Trouble is a part of life, but James reminds us that God can use our troubles to produce something greater in us. In this message, we look at how perspective, patience, and prayer can change the way we walk through difficult seasons. You may not know what to do, but you can always know where to turn. Real faith doesn’t just survive trouble it grows through it. James 1:1–18 https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

August 30th 2026 Before you give up, pray one more prayer. Through the story of Elijah, we discover the power of consistent, fervent, and persistent prayer. Whatever you’re believing God for, keep praying because nothing yet doesn’t mean nothing is happening.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

August 23rd 2026   We all need forgiveness. The good news is that forgiveness isn't something we earn or achieve—it is a gift we receive through faith in Jesus. His sacrifice was enough to pay the full price for our sin and restore our relationship with God. In “One More Forgiven,” we look at what Scripture says about sin, forgiveness, salvation, confession, conviction, and the freedom we have through Jesus. Our sin is great, but His sacrifice is greater. Receiving forgiveness doesn't mean our sin was insignificant. It means the sacrifice of Jesus was sufficient. And when we fail as followers of Jesus, we don't have to start our salvation over. Our failures may require confession, but they don't require another salvation. In Christ, there is now no condemnation. Because one more matters to God. There is always one more person who needs to hear that forgiveness is available, that their past doesn't have to define their future, and that they can come home to God through Jesus. One more forgiven. One more changed. One more life made new.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

August 16th 2026  We will never reach a point in our lives where we don’t need one more touch from God. In this message, Bailey Holmes continues the ONE MORE series by walking through Mark 5:21–43 and the powerful stories of Jairus and the woman who reached out to Jesus in faith. Their stories challenge us to examine our own desperation for God. What do we do when the earthly fix fails? How do we respond when disappointment begins to create doubt? And what happens when we become truly desperate for the presence and power of Jesus? Bailey reminds us that sometimes we try to use human-sized fixes for spiritual-sized problems. But what we ultimately need is a God-sized touch. Wherever you find yourself today, remember: there is always room for one more touch of His grace, His goodness, His power, and His presence.   Want to learn more about Life Church?

August 9th 2026 Because one more matters to God. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories about things that were lost and found: a sheep, a coin, and a son. Each story reveals the heart of God for people who are far from Him. Jesus didn't see sinners as people to avoid. He saw them as people worth finding. In this message, we are challenged to develop the same heart. We are not simply trying to fill empty chairs we are believing for one more life to be changed by Jesus. One more seat. One more service. One more invitation. One more location. One more person brought from death to life. The question isn't, “Are ninety-nine enough?” The question is: Who is our one more? Luke 15:1–24 Romans 5:8 ONE MORE. Because every person matters to God. https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

August 2nd 2026 We often think miracles only happen during life's biggest emergencies, but Scripture tells a different story. In 2 Kings 6:1–7, Elisha performs one of the Bible's most unexpected miracles—not for a nation, but for a borrowed axe head. This message reminds us that if it's important to you, it's important to God. Rather than waiting until life is falling apart to pray, God invites us into a lifestyle of everyday prayers that make room for everyday miracles. Join us as we conclude The Mantle series and discover how God faithfully meets us in the ordinary moments of everyday life.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

July 26 2026 Success in God's Kingdom isn't about talent, personality, or striving harder it's about walking in the anointing God has already given you. In this message from the final week of the Elisha series, we follow Elisha's final journey with Elijah and discover the powerful symbolism of the falling mantle. Just as Elijah ascended and left his mantle, Jesus ascended and sent the Holy Spirit, giving every believer everything they need to live out God's purpose. You'll be encouraged to trust God's provision, stay connected to His Church, depend on the Holy Spirit, and believe that the same God who called you will also empower you.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/ No matter what you're walking through today, remember: God will get you through whatever you're going through, because in Him, you have everything you need to succeed.

What happens when our hearts drift from God, even while our outward lives look faithful? In this message, Heart Work Pays Off, we learn from Joshua 7 that God's greatest concern is not our appearance but our hearts. Hidden compromise, complacency, and partial obedience can keep us from experiencing the fullness of what God has prepared. But when we choose obedience, dependence, and wholehearted surrender, God is faithful to lead us into His promises. Join us as we discover why heart work is the foundation for every work God wants to do through our lives.   https://www.lifechurchwilm.com/

June 21st 2026 Every family wants to be happy and healthy, but no family is perfect. In this message from our Happy Healthy Families series, we explore God's calling for fathers to lead their homes with faith, love, and purpose. Drawing from Joshua 24, we see Joshua's bold declaration: "As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Fathers have a unique responsibility to lead their families toward God by being spiritually present, loving well, speaking life over their children, disciplining with grace, and creating a Christ centered home. Whether you're a father, a future father, or someone seeking to strengthen your family, this message will challenge and encourage you to lead with courage and faith.

June 14th 2026 What does the Bible really say about heaven? In this message from our "Coming Soon" series, Pastor Scott Anderson examines the realities of heaven and God's eternal plan for His people. Through Scripture, we discover that heaven is not merely a spiritual concept, but a real place where God will dwell with His people forever. Learn about the present heaven, the new heaven and new earth, our future resurrected bodies, meaningful purpose in eternity, and the breathtaking promise of the New Jerusalem. As followers of Jesus, our hope extends beyond this life. When we understand the realities of heaven, it changes how we live today and strengthens our confidence for tomorrow.
