ESPN DailyRamona Shelburne Takes us Inside the 76ers CrisisIt’s been more than a decade since the Philadelphia 76ers began their so-called “process” to tank-the-team, earn high draft picks, and set themselves up for a bright future. This strategy has now become the norm across sports, and for the Sixers’ sake, it did yield them Joel Embiid, the team’s first MVP winner in 22 years. But it’s also been filled with crisis after crisis. Two number one picks that flopped and big time trades, first for Jimmy Butler and then James Harden, that ultimately went nowhere. This year, the offseason acquisition of Paul Georg...

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchOf Faith and Wet Feet | Not About Me, Not About Now (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) When it comes to issues of faith, trust and obedience, the oldest question--and one we’ve been asking a lot lately--still applies: “Who are you going to trust?” In our teaching time today, we are back in the camp of Israel. It is some 43 years after the first time we joined them there, when they chose to trust themselves instead of God for their future. It was a choice that cost them greatly. Now in the first three chapters of Joshua a new generation finds themselves faced with the same question. They had all buried their parents because of their...

This is a myth. In our message today we visit a New Testament story where a man named Peter, not always known for his altruism, will make a bold decision of faith in Jesus and ultimately set the all-time world’s record for a human walking on water. He’ll also sink. But Peter will show us that if we ever want to walk on water, first, we have to be willing to get out of the boat!Find...

But at every single one of them, our old friend self is present. At the crossroads we are really deciding if life is all about me and what I want or about God and His desire for my life. When we choose our path, we are declaring the object of our greatest trust. In the story today we meet a nation at a crossroads.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchThe Biggest Problem You'll Ever Have is YOU! | Not About Me, Not About Now! (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) The oldest temptation of all really had nothing to do with an apple. It had everything to do with an idol - the one I see in the mirror every morning. When Satan tempted Eve it was with a subtle idea: “you don’t really need God, you can be your own god.” Once Satan convinced her that life should be “all about her” – his job was done.We’ve all bitten that apple, all of us have chosen self as our favorite god. During our new series we’ll be searching for an antidote to that insidious deception. The c...

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen God Throws You Overboard (Jim Shelburne) In today’s message we meet a man named Jonah, perhaps one of the Bible’s most universally known characters. His name is known not because of how well he answered God’s call, but precisely because of the opposite. Jonah is indeed a cautionary tale for us in the dangers of prejudice and disobedience. But it is undeniably true that God still works with stubborn sailors, and it is not out of the question for Him to even throw us overboard to help us get where we need to be. And if we’ll look closely, a man’s radical...

Today we look over Paul’s shoulder as he closes out this inspired little masterpiece with some well-pointed thoughts about finishing well.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchArmor Up! | We Are Equipped (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) The Bible doesn’t offer a lot of space or options when it comes to fighting spiritual warfare, and too often our human “do-it-yourself” strategies are lacking if not laughable. But in a very practical and memorable passage for today, Paul takes the time to clearly enumerate six or seven pieces of “personal military hardware” with which God has already equipped serious soldiers of Christ. In this message we will work through his list, consider the equipment and the purpose it serves while hopefully taking inventory of our own personal state of preparedness. This battle is not “Armageddon-sized.” But it is of great...

But this was not God’s design. Work is intended to be a blessing, a means by which God allows us to provide for ourselves and our families and even His work. We often spend more hours and years working than in any other single pursuit. In today’s message, Paul will remind us of the biblical relationship between employees and bosses, and, most importantly, he will challenge us to w...

If you thought he was expecting a lot from the wives, well, just wait to see how high he sets the bar for men! We need to remember that humanly speaking this dance is pretty impossible, for both men and women. It is only possible by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, which is fully at our disposal.

But when the alarm goes off and we are fighting the bed sheets, the last thing we want is for someone to turn on the bright light overhead. The symbolism of light and darkness is everywhere, the warfare well-documented. As believers, we are called to be soldiers of the light. In our message today, Paul finishes his thoughts about light, reminding us that even though we “once were darkness” now “we are light in the Lord”—indeed—"children of the Light.”...

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen Nothing is Everything | (Easter Sunday) (Jim Shelburne) On the first Easter Sunday a group of women went to the tomb of Jesus to finish the job preparing His body for burial. What they found in there and also what the disciples found there—is the fulcrum of the entire Christian faith. What did they find? They found nothing. That’s because He was not there. That’s because He had risen, just as He said He would. Today in our message, on this Easter Sunday, our thoughts turn to a situation where the reality of nothing is everything.Find more messages from WACC h...

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchWhat Does the Lord Need From You? | Palm Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Our focus today is on that Sunday when Jesus entered Jerusalem as the triumphant Messiah. What a contrast from the events that would take place the following Friday! But that Sunday, He would ride into Jerusalem like a king, and for the ride He would need something He didn’t have—a donkey. In a similar way, there are things we have been given, things we “own”—that could be used in the service of our King Jesus. The big question is: When He asks us for what He needs from us—will we say “Yes!” It’s a big question. And...

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchImitating Our Father | We Are Light (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) As Paul turns the page into chapter 5 of Ephesians, he challenges us with the very tall order of “Being imitators of God." What does this look like? And how is this even possible?Holiness in scripture describes “God’s pure and powerful presence.” This means that the Church is also supposed to be pure, and having a powerful influence on the broken, corrupt society around us. We do this, Paul says, by watching our own behaviors morally and vocally. The world is always watching. We should live and even talk differently, as followers of Christ.Find mor...

As we “take off“ our natural habits and “put on“ better ones that reflect Christ, the world takes notice and is impacted by our influence. The contrast will bring light into the darkness.Sadly, even those who are in Christ still wear the chains and inhabit the prisons that go with our fallen natures when we lie or steal or rage or spew—even when we refuse to forgive or act unk...

After Jesus conquered sin and death, this victorious king returned to heaven. But the conquering king did not leave us empty-handed. He gave us “the spoils of His victory”—the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Out of our oneness, diversity occurs when each of us embrace our gift and do our part for the community of Christ.Do you have prayer requests? Get in touch dir...

2022-01-3037 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchWhen Trusting Trumps Trying (Jim Shelburne) We live in a “can-do, try-harder, put-everything-you’ve-got-into-it” society. And we are highly influenced by it, so we spend a whole lot of our effort trying harder in the hopes of changing the way things are or changing ourselves. The problem is that trying harder rarely works.What would happen if instead of carrying that whole load on our own shoulders, we trusted God and surrendered to the work of His grace in our lives? Isn’t it about time we learned to believe more in Him than in ourselves?
2022-01-2341 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchDoing Something Different for a Change (Jim Shelburne) Because so much of life consists of doing a lot of the same things day after day, it is fairly easy to find that we have fallen into a deep rut; sometimes it is so deep we can’t even see over the edges of this early grave. If anything can be said about God, scripture would tell us that God loves new things. He especially loves leading us into greener pastures as His “new creations.” Maybe a brand new year is a wonderful time to consider doing something different for a change.

But we are living in denial if we fail to acknowledge that evil is and will continue to be a powerful force until Satan is once and finally brought down.

We think we know it and see it in technology and governments and political personalities. But the real power comes from a different source; it comes from the source of everything. GOD. In this amazing prayer covered by our text today, Paul is making sure that believers know and receive the enabling and empowering strength of God, and that we at least catch a glimpse of just how big God is. As a believer in Christ, that power is at our disposal. So why do we live like beggars?

But in our Ephesians text today, Paul wants to make doubly sure we know exactly how bad our situation was before Christ came with a means to save and redeem us. Today we take a first look at the PROBLEM, the SOLUTION, and the RESULT. Beyond the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, this becomes the most amazing part of the Gospel and what it means for those in Christ.

As we look upon last scenes and last words, we will find out that our unconfessed sins will follow us and even dog our kids and grandkids and beyond--and that our “owned and confessed” sins will pave the path for forgiveness and a lighter, blessed future.

In our story today from Genesis 34, the eleven sheepish brothers of Joseph return to Egypt, expecting to be in deep trouble because it appears they didn’t pay for their grain on the last trip. But what they get is love, acceptance, lavish treatment and a feast—all from this man they still do not know is the brother they mistreated so badly so long ago. Such is the...
2021-06-2046 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchBack On The Mainline | Meant For Good (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) During a season of life on the sideline, it is easy to feel forgotten and insignificant and unloved, but God promises in scripture that he will "confirm, strengthen, and establish you." (1 Peter 5:10) This week, Joseph's prayers are answered (after 2 years!) in a way he could never have imagined.
2021-05-2330 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchOn The Side Rail Of Suffering | Meant For Good (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) Joseph's ever-changing circumstances find him in prison, now seemingly forgotten and forsaken. All of us will do time there, wondering if God knows, sees, cares where we are. So what do you do in the pause between the prayer and the answer?
2021-05-1639 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchTemptation Station | Meant For Good (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) Temptation comes in many different forms, and as humans, every single one of us are subject to temptation. Today we will learn from Joseph how to remain strong in the face of great temptation; we will also learn that sometimes the price of integrity is quite high!
2021-05-0936 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchDysfunction Junction | Meant For Good (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) Today we begin our journey into the story of Joseph, one of the most dynamic characters in the early Old Testament. As we consider his family of origins-namely his father Jacob, and the extreme dysfunction of his family unit-perhaps it reminds us that all families are broken; Their story could make your family seem down right normal! The thing to remember is that even in the midst of the chaos, God is writing a story that through His grace will reflect His perfect purpose. One day, hopefully, we will be able to see that it was all meant...
2021-05-0232 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchBetting The Farm On God (Jim Shelburne) There are a lot of high-stress, high-stakes times in life; in many of them, we will have to choose whether we are going to trust in ourselves to solve the problems and meet the needs--or trust in God. King Asa of the Old Testament knew about this kind of decision. Early in his reign he trusted God and God showed up. Every time! But late in his reign an enemy king began to threaten the people of Judah and the question arose again: “Will Asa trust himself, or will he bet the farm on God?” You’ll have to listen...

They are bewildered and dejected by the intense plot twist that has taken their hopeful Messiah and had him nailed to a cross. On the road they meet a “stranger” who comes alongside them and gently challenges the story they expected. He helps them see their own story an...
2021-04-0435 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchSeven Last Words | Palm Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Much has been made of the seven last “words” or sayings of Jesus Christ from the cross, both in music, art and literature. Last words are important, and they capture our imagination and attention with their weight. In this message Jim will be travelling to all four gospels and their resurrection accounts, trying to hear and see the meaning behind our Savior’s last words on the cross. They are words of grace, words of need and anguish, words of love, words of victory. Listen carefully!

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchA New You | New YOU Revolution (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) God is always at work in the lives of those who have submitted to His rule and reign. In this conclusion to our “New YOU Revolution” series, instead of looking at other people changed by the power of God, we will spend our time looking deeply inside our own hearts. The work God wants to do in us is far more important than anything we might ever do for Him! But we stand in the way. Sometimes there are questions we need to ask that will set our hearts on the course to change. In this message, Jim will be w...
2021-03-2143 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchOpen To Healing | New YOU Revolution (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) God wants to change us for the better. He wants to heal us spiritually, so we can live the abundant lives Jesus promised. Too often, we resist healing and remain unchanged, untouched, untold as what could have been be a story of God’s work. Naaman of the Old Testament (2 Kings 5) was faced with a choice between being healed God’s way or staying sick like he was. He chose wisely. How about you? What choices are you facing?

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchThree Visions | New Year's Revolution (Part 6) (Jim Shelburne) Isaiah was minding his own business, enjoying life and security and abundance, probably an externally devout man who would have scored high in “religiosity.” Then one day something happens that is amazing… he goes to church and SEES GOD! And his life is never the same; a revolutionary calling changes everything! God works when he changes ANY life. The response required from us for any significant change/transformation to occur is a willingness to see God as He is, and a willingness to see ourselves and others as they are, then a willingness to submit to his transform...

But we all are – our cravings tend to drive us and if we're not careful, destroy us. The revolution of a better way starts with knowing our thirsts and drinking from the only well with living water – Jesus Christ

Satan takes advantage of our hungers and thirsts by offering counterfeits (which we often settle for). Jesus' revolutionary offer is the only way to find REAL life.
