Washington Avenue Christian ChurchDolly’s Doll - Anger’s Cure | Becoming a Perfect Christian We all get angry. How quickly do you get there and what do you do with it? Most of us speak too quickly, often before we think. What if you learned to be quiet a little more often. And nearly all of us do not listen enough. What if we truly did listen twice as much as we speak? Maybe, just maybe our walk with Jesus and our relationship with others would be more fruitful, more consistent, less troublesome. We all would do well to memorize in our minds, mouths and hearts James 1:19. Especially the lines, “be quick to li...2024-06-0943 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchTrickery and Treasure | Becoming a Perfect Christian In today’s section of our new study of the book of James, we learn that there are two desired outcomes for our lives, one from God and one from Satan. God desires to give us wonderful gifts, the real deal, life now and life eternal. Satan offers only counterfeits of the “good and perfect gifts” God offers. But guess which gifts we often choose? Satan is the master of deception, the “Father of Lies.” James offers a wonderful explanation of his strategies to ruin us, and also offers a beautiful, contrasting picture of God, the “Father of Lights” who wants to giv...2024-06-022h 57Washington Avenue Christian ChurchWhy Do Bad Things Happen To Good People? | Becoming a Perfect Christian James 1:2-4.Do you have prayer requests?Get in touch directly with the team at WACC using thislink: https://wacconline.org/prayer-requestWe look forward to hearing from you!

And that’s because you and I (and every other non-delusional person) know that perfection on human terms is not going to happen. Still, the scriptures show that we are “being perfected”—being made complete—as we, through grace and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, become more and more like Jesus. Part of that comes with age and wisdom and experience. Part of it comes because we want it to come. Most of it comes simply by the grace of God as He works...2024-05-1234 min

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchStephen Ministry Focus (Jim Shelburne) One of the drawbacks of being a large church is that there tend to be more people needs than there are shepherds to help meet them.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchThoughts of Home (Jim Shelburne) The idea of “home“ runs deep within each of us. We all understand having times and places where we feel very much “at home“ and other places where we do not feel that at all.One of the tensions in the Christian life is the imperative realization that even though we are appointed to live here, in some cases for eight or nine decades or more, this earth is not and cannot ever be our true “home.”In today’s message we will consider the nature of our true home – heaven...2023-04-3039 min

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchDo You Believe in Easter? | Easter Sunday 2023 (Jim Shelburne) It’s easy to get confused about Easter. While Easter is joyful and fun, it’s not really about eggs and bunnies. It’s not about lilies. It’s not about Easter dresses and Easter hats. Easter is about resurrection. It’s about the power of the cross, the weakness of death, the end of any questions about who Jesus really was. In just a few weeks the close followers of Jesus went from a group of people who were devoted fans of Jesus to people who would die for Him. Why? It’s because they saw the empty tomb. They sa...2023-04-0932 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchTwo Gardens: Of Weeds and Wonder | Palm Sunday (Jim Shelburne) Many of the questions we might have surrounding the death of Jesus can be answered by spending time in two gardens. One is called Eden and the other Gethsemane. One explains man’s weakness and need for a savior; the other shows Jesus overcoming Evil at every step, even to the point of turning Himself over to be crucified, to fulfill the Father’s eternal plan for our salvation. One is about human pride and vulnerability, one is about incredible power cloaked in indescribable humility. Come to the gardens. We will learn some important things there about weeds and wonde...2023-04-0235 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchBroken World Survival Tactics | Not About Now (Part 10) (Jim Shelburne) In our last message we talked about the universally tough question “Why is Life So Hard Sometimes?” Today we step aside from the “why” and move toward the “how” in terms of what we can do when it seems the wheels are falling off our lives and we find ourselves dealing with a crash. While the pain is real and hard times can certainly make us self-focused, there is something we can do that will help us navigate and survive our broken-world experiences. And that something is to REMEMBER. In our final message in this series today we will talk about how...2023-03-2640 min

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchOur Two Ultimate Appointments | Not About Now (Part 8) (Jim Shelburne) We are busy people, often mostly concerned with the now or very near future. We run our lives according to appointments and deadlines and scheduled trips. And truthfully, most of us run as if the race will never end. But it will. The inescapable fact is that every single one of us will DIE. As we continue delving into the perspective of eternity and its consequences for us, today we look at a couple of sobering realities that deserve our attention way before we find ourselves at that place. You have two absolutely unavoidable ultimate appointments. Are you ready f...2023-03-0538 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchDefining the Borders of Eternity | Not About Now (Part 7) (Jim Shelburne) We continue our consideration of heaven today, in the vein of eternity, and how the choices we make definitely have eternal consequence. Beyond our decision to answer the call of Christ to salvation, there are lots of days and typically lots of years to make choices. We “define the borders” of our truly final disposition every single day as we choose how we’re going to live and Who we are going to follow and what we’re going to live for. And from scripture it would appear that much of our eternal destiny and reward is formed and determined...2023-02-2633 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchHeaven Now | Not About Now (Part 6) (Jake Earls) Christianity isn't about dying and going to heaven. The purpose of the universe isn't death, it's love.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchDon’t Be Afraid! (Jim Shelburne) Fear seems to permeate so many layers of our existence. We fear pandemics, the weather, cancer, financial collapse, politicians, government control, government neglect, change…and the list goes on. There indeed are a lot of things worthy of our fear, and probably a lot more that are not. Many of our fears are irrational, unfounded. Most all of them are baseless—because either they focus on things over which we have no control, or they would be found inconsequential on the stage of eternity. God’s definitive message every time He has come close (either himself or through angels) has been...2023-01-0136 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchTravelling Light | The Longest Journey (Part 4) (Jim Shelburne) One of the greatest mysteries of Christmas is found in the very audacious idea that God, who is “LIGHT” according to scripture, would choose to come and live on earth, trading heaven and glory for pain, suffering, darkness, insecurity and death. Christmas begs to answer why the “Light of Creation” travelled so far. He travelled “light” coming with nothing; but when He did, LIGHT travelled, cloaked in a suitcase of skin, wrapped in the rags of a newborn baby. In our message time together on this fourth Sunday of Advent, we will explore two angles that may help answer why. One, Chris...2022-12-1835 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchGetting Ready for the Baby | The Longest Journey (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) If you’ve ever experienced the joy of having a baby come into your world, you also know what comes quickly after: chaos! Babies have a way of turning things completely upside-down, and when they come and stay, our lives are never the same. One of the most marvelous pieces of the deep theology we call the “incarnation” is that Jesus, God with skin on, came to us as a tiny, helpless baby. And, I feel pretty certain, that His coming brought joy to his earthly parents. But we know that it also brought chaos, both early on as they fled...2022-12-1124 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchWhy Did Jesus Come? | The Longest Journey (Part 2) (Jim Shelburne) THAT Jesus came is arguably the most important truth of all. But knowing WHY He came certainly comes in a close second. If we don’t know WHY He came, we will never know what we are supposed to be doing as His Church; and not knowing, we will tend to make church all about us instead of all about Him. The good new is that it is easy to know why He came. The answers to that question practically jump off of every page of the Gospels, if we are looking for them. So, let’s be looking. In toda...2022-12-0425 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchInvisible…Almost! | The Longest Journey (Part 1) (Jim Shelburne) In the middle of all that’s going on around us, three things tend to be true: we don’t see much, things are rarely only as they seem, and you never know what God is up to. As we kick off our Advent/Christmas series today, we take a macroscopic look at the pages of history and note that most of the really significant stuff--is the stuff humans completely miss. It’s partly because we’re not that great at seeing things for what they are; it’s also because God tends to work quietly in the background. In the world w...2022-11-2728 minWashington Avenue Christian ChurchA Short Sermon About a Short Man Who Grew Tall | Not About Me (Part 11) (Jim Shelburne) Most all of us know the story of Zacchaeus, a short tax-collector who climbed a tree so he could see Jesus. Before the story is over, Zacchaeus has become “tall” in every way he had lacked. It’s a great story about what a life lived small—a life ALL ABOUT ME--looks like. It’s also a great “before and after” story about the transforming power of Jesus Christ and what happens when He comes to rule in our hearts and homes. As we wrap up this part of our fall series today, take a close look in the mirror. Are you...2022-11-2025 min

The world has never been more connected, via the internet and social media. Ironically, the same people in this world have never been more lonely. Truth be known we are surrounded by lonely people, people crying out for attention, acceptance, love. We work with them, we pass them on the street, we live across the road from them. Sometimes we sit on the same pew with them. In today’s message we will consider three stories, and God’s command that we love and...2022-11-1337 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchHearts, Treasures, and Potato Salad | Not About Me, Not About Now (Part 9) (Jim Shelburne) As we continue to consider what it means to embrace a life that’s “Not About ME” our focus shifts just a bit once more. We’ve explored the questions of who we will trust with our lives and futures, and then who we will trust with our stuff. Today we will begin asking “Who or what will we trust with our HEARTS?” Jesus made it pretty clear how to always know where a person’s heart is. He said that it will always be right where our treasure is found. Hearts and treasures go together. Always! Some things in life are wo...2022-11-0635 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchFour Questions for Faithful Managers | Not About Me, Not About Now (Part 7) (Jim Shelburne) Realizing that I OWN NOTHING goes a lot way toward fixing a bad case of selfishness. It’s not that I have nothing… I have a LOT! But it is only loaned to me by God, for a season, for my benefit and for my use. But it’s HIS, not MINE. He is the OWNER, I am only the manager. In today’s message we will consider a story Jesus told about 3 managers, and what went right and what went wrong. In our time together we will attempt to clarify what all of this means by exploring four question...2022-10-3040 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchIt’s What Owns You (Part 2) | Not About Me. Not About Now (Part 7) (Jim Shelburne) We began talking in our last message about “the Precious”—the things in our lives that we hold tightest and dearest, the things that can, if we are not careful, become idols to us through our utter devotion to them, as they begin to own us. We talked about the basis and definition of idolatry, and we did some work last time identifying these “Precious Rings” we hold so tightly. Today, as we continue our thoughts along these lines, we’ll be asking questions of true ownership and what it means that God owns everything. In the end, we are just ren...2022-10-2332 min

So, it’s a good idea from time to time to identify things in our lives that have the potential to become idols, things that could well become “too precious to us. “Once we identify them, we can be reminded that everything belongs to God and that all good things are a gift from his hands, loaned to us for a season.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchIt’s Where You Look | Not About Me, Not About Now (Part 5) (Jim Shelburne) Today’s message finds us shifting a bit in our theme. We’ve been asking “Who will I trust with my life, my future?” As we continue to think about what it means that life is NOT ABOUT ME and NOT ABOUT NOW, the next question we will be asking for a few weeks is “Who will I trust with my stuff?” In a culture where our stuff tends to define/motivate/possess us--how can we be reformed in such a way as to turn our attention away from ourselves to the very obvious needs of others? How can I le...2022-10-0930 min
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...2022-10-0228 min
Washington Avenue Christian ChurchUn-reckless Abandon | Not About Me, Not About Now (Part 3) (Jim Shelburne) A selfish mindset makes me think I can control the circumstances in my life and create safety and security. 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...2022-09-2535 min

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. And we will see what selfishness cost them.Find more messages from WACC here: https://wacconline.org/media2022-09-1843 min
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.

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...2022-09-0440 min

Our job is to be alert, keep watch, and be ready. We are to be obedient and faithful in the meantime. I much prefer to hear those words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.

Unfortunately, people in God’s kingdom act selfishly and arrogantly too often. Humility is the antidote to living in this kind of manner. It is the foundation for entering into God’s Kingdom and the key to combatting so much sibling rivalry within the King’s family. Humility seeks the interest of others and not so much our own.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchHow to Finish Well | We Are Equipped (Part 3) Jim Shelburne As we take our last look at Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, we’ll see Paul in “summation” mode as he reminds them to never stop praying, to never stop believing, to never stop loving, and to never fail to be amazed by God’s grace—the force that drives and changes everything. Today we look over Paul’s shoulder as he closes out this inspired little masterpiece with some well-pointed thoughts about finishing well. Maybe you should take a few minutes right now to go back and read through this hope-filled jewel one more time!Find more mess...2022-07-1038 minMementoEpisode 28: Fasting and Intimacy With God | We Are Equipped (Jake Earls) (Shane Wyly)0:00 intro

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...2022-07-0341 min

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.”...2022-04-2441 minMementoEpisode 24: Communion, Righteousness Of God, and Lying to Children | Easter (Shane Wyly) (Jake Earls)0:00 Intro, lying to children

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.

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.

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.

Washington Avenue Christian ChurchA Sermon All (or Mostly) About Clothes | We Are Light (Part 1) (Shane Wyly) We often pick out our clothes based on what we are doing or who we are with. Daniel Tiger suggests we should choose what to wear based on what we are going to do, but what if we choose clothes based on what has been done for us? This is what Paul invites us to in Ephesians 4.17-24 – to put off the old self and put on the new. Just like Eustace Scrubb, we can be freed from our former self and walk in new life.Find more messages from WACC here: https://wacconline.org/media2022-03-1344 min
