Wingfoot ChurchIntentional Community | Wingfoot DNA | John 17:1-5, 20-26Loneliness is one of the defining struggles of our time—and it hasn’t spared the church.In this teaching from John 17, we wrap up our series on the DNA of the church by looking at Jesus’ longest recorded prayer and his deep desire for a unified, loving community. From the Trinity as the origin of community, to eternal life as relationship, to the everyday practice of hospitality, this message explores what it truly means to live life together.We’ll talk about:• Why we’re more connected yet more alone than ever• How community...

But in Jesus' way, to be a disciple is to be a student of Jesus' life and teachings, being formed to be like him over a lifetime of apprenticeship under him.This requires a paradigm shift in how we imagine discipleship in the church and a collective practice around a shared set of practices.

But how we go about accomplishing that mission is as important as that we accomplish it. The church is to be sent in the same way Jesus is sent: as flesh-and-blood, real people with integrity, intentionality, and invitation.

The Dork-O-Motive Podcast500mph Failure: The Incredible Wingfoot Express 2 and A History of Rocket Cars 1928-1965This is the story of Walter Arfons' incredible Wingfoot Express 2 rocket land speed car. It's also a history of some pretty incredible rocket powered cars from the 1920s through the 1960s. Machines that raced on dirt tracks, performed at fairs, and even ran at the Indianapolis 500.
The story of the creation of the Wingfoot Express 2 is one of perseverance, dedication, mechanical skill, and pure guts. It was a giant rolling science experiment designed to not only break the world's land speed record, but also break the sound barrier.
To say that this thing was a glorious failure would be an am...

He takes a realistic perspective on what the word “soon” could mean in reference to the Apocalypse, encouraging listeners to consider the timeless relevance of the text. He outlines that Revelation is much more than a prophecy; it is a blessing of hope and a challenge to live faithfully. This and much more will be explored in this week’s Wingfoot Church sermon.

2021-09-1235 minWingfoot ChurchWhy is the Bible so hard to understand? - Can I Ask That?If you've ever tried to read the Bible, chances are you found yourself confused more than once. For a book that's so important to Christians, it can be hard to understand. That's why it's so important that we understand what the Bible is and what the Bible really says in order to experience all that the Bible has for us. Once you see it, it'll change your life forever.
2021-04-1928 minWingfoot ChurchIs it crazy to believe the resurrection? - Can I Ask That?In this series we're tackling the questions you submitted or we've been asked during our first year as a church. This week we tackle a big one: Is it crazy to believe the resurrection of Jesus actually happened? In one word: Yes. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul stakes the entirety of the Christian message on Jesus' bodily resurrection. It was crazy to claim then and it's crazy to claim now, but as we'll see, it's crazier to believe it didn't happen. And if it did happen, it would be the most important...
2021-04-1229 minWingfoot ChurchThe Gardener Is Gardening Again - Resurrection SundayJohn's story of the resurrection of Jesus starts in a confusing, hopeless place. Mary and the disciples aren't sure what's going on. Then John says this: they didn't understand that Jesus MUST rise from the dead. Why MUST Jesus rise from the dead? John leaves us a clue. When Mary see's Jesus, she thinks he's the gardener. This one twist unlocks the whole meaning behind the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus MUST rise again because God is the God who brings life from nothing in Genesis 1 who is now bringing life from death, recreating the world through Jesus.
2021-04-0431 minWingfoot ChurchA Joy That Transforms Sorrow - Now & ForeverLife is hard, and when life is hard we carry sorrow, a deep emotional weight within us. But the world and often the church can tell us we need to keep going, keep growing, keep having faith which leaves us feeling stuck in our sorrow unable to talk about it, maybe even considering walking away all together. That was Jesus' concern for his disciples. They had a Palm Sunday view of God - that God is here to fix my problems and pick me up out of the hard places in life. But Jesus is a Good Friday God...
2021-03-2928 minWingfoot ChurchA Personal, Permanent Connection to God - Now & ForeverMost religions have in their origin story someone having a connection to God - Abraham on a mountain, Buddha achieving enlightenment, Joseph Smith seeing a vision. The problem with every religion, however, is that that connection to God is private and temporary, leaving later followers to have to build a religion around the founder to get back to that connection. When Jesus is talking with his disciples in John 16:1-15, he tells them he's leaving them, which sounds like every other religious founder. But instead, Jesus says that he is sending the Holy Spirit. When you know God through...
2021-03-2231 minWingfoot ChurchA Love That Will Change Your Life - Now & ForeverWe have a hard time with obedience. In our culture right now the idea of obeying someone other than yourself is even considered oppressive. But when Jesus says "if you love me, you will obey me," he's not as concerned about what we do as much as he's concerned about why we do it. The root of obeying Jesus is trusting in the love of Jesus. And his love is the most trusthworthy love you'll ever find.
2021-03-1527 minWingfoot ChurchA Peace Greater Than Your Circumstances - Now & ForeverIn John 14:27, Jesus tells his followers he is giving them a peace different than what they can find in the world around them. The peace around us is often based on a lack of trouble around us. But what Jesus offers us is a peace greater than our circumstances - a peace that comes from knowing that God overcame everything for you. This changes how we face trouble, both now and forever.
2021-03-0823 minWingfoot ChurchA Family That Will Never Fail You - Now & ForeverWhat is eternal life? Everyone has some opinion. Religion will provide some answers, but Jesus defined it for us. Eternal life is knowing God through him. If that's what eternal life is then it's accessible to us right here, right now, not just when we die.
In John 14:15-26, Jesus says he won't leave his followers orphans but will adopt us into his family. We can experience in Jesus a family that will never fail us through the status Jesus secured for us and the experience the Holy Spirit brings us.
2021-02-2827 minWingfoot ChurchFrom Part of Life to All of Life - This Changes EverythingWe tend to only share parts of ourselves with others - our work self with co-workers, our family self at home, our friend self when we're out with friends. But this leaves us unknown and with parts of our lives that no one sees. It's in these places that hypocrisy can grow - where we present as one person but in reality we're someone else. The Letter to Philemon challenges us to put all of our lives on the table because Jesus is King. And if Jesus is King, then he's not just our personal, private Jesus but a...
2021-02-2130 minWingfoot ChurchFrom Power to Weakness - This Changes EverythingWho has power and how are they using it? This is a big question people outside the church are asking. It's also a question the Bible and the Letter to Philemon have good answers to. In Philemon, Paul names the power that he has over Philemon, yet he chooses to use that power, not to force Philemon to do something, but to challenge Philemon to give up his power over Onesimus who has no power. The way of Jesus is the way of using power not for ourselves but for the sake of others. Because when we are weak...
2021-02-1534 minWingfoot ChurchFrom Categories to Community - This Changes EverythingWhat good is Christianity for how divided our world is? Rather than creating division, the way of Jesus challenges the definitions of worth and value that are assigned to people and offers us a true way to be united in the midst of our differences - by following in the footsteps of Jesus who bridged the greatest gap possible.

2021-02-0640 minWingfoot ChurchFrom Me-Centered to We-Centered - This Changes EverythingWhat good is Christianity? In a world facing increasing division, economic disparity, and racial tension, it seems like Christianity is more of a problem than a solution to our problems. But in the letter to Philemon, we find that at the heart of the mission of Jesus is a community that is committed to truth-telling, reconciliation and unity. In order to experience this kind of community, we have to first move from being me-centered, focused only on our individual happiness, to we-centered, buckled in and committed to a diverse community of people marked by the belonging that Jesus won...
2021-01-3136 minWingfoot ChurchTaste & See (ft. Ray Byrne) - MixtapeWe're often too distracted to appreciate that we have a greater need in life. We are disconnected with what we're really feeling and what we really need. But when we do finally wake up to our need, we realize that nothing can really satisfy that need so we're left wanting. Is there any way we can truly be satisfied in life? Psalm 34:8 invites us to "taste and see that the Lord is good" - to experience his goodness and ultimately be satisfied in the person of Jesus.

2021-01-2437 minWingfoot ChurchServe & Share Your Story - Bless Your BlockIt's possible to serve others but really be serving ourselves. We do it for the likes, the resume, to look good. But Jesus doesn't serve others in that way. In Mark 7, Jesus gets close to a man who is hurting, healing him privately so he doesn't become a spectacle. As Jesus gets proximate to those who are hurting and serves them personally, they become open to who he really is. In the same way as we seek to learn from and live out the way of Jesus on our block, we must be willing to get close and personal...

2021-01-1613 minWingfoot ChurchListen & Eat - Bless Your Block In Mark 2, Jesus calls Levi, a political traitor and morally questionable character to become his disciple and immediately takes him to a party at his own house surrounded by his equally questionable friends. Jesus says this is his whole mission: to invite sinners to dinner with him. And the way he accomplishes this mission is by taking characters like Levi - and us - outcasts, morally questionable characters, people without all the answers - and inviting us to invite our friends to dinner with him. Because Levi chooses to follow this Jesus who invites sinners to dinner his friends a...

The field is set and this year we get two days of triple headers as the playoffs kick off this weekend. Pros vs Joes, division winners with a losing record, and of course COVID all playing a role. But our bankroll is all we're worried about as the tournament gets underway.
2021-01-0950 minWingfoot ChurchBe Prayerfully Present - Bless Your BlockThe idea of talking to someone about what you believe can be pretty intimidating. But what if sharing Jesus wasn't about a sale pitch or a set of canned questions but about sharing your life with others? What would it look like if we lived out the way of Jesus right where we live? In the next three weeks we're looking at how Jesus shared his life with others and what it looks like for us to do the same - starting with being prayerfully present right where we live.

That feeling you get when you end a video call with a friend or family member can be what it feels like when you leave church or find yourself in a hard spot in life. God is out there, but at a distance. In fact that was the picture people got of God in the Old Testament. He was there, but you could only see and experience God through layers of a tent and a priest. But in John 1:14, John says that Jesus comes to us, not in a tent...

And it kind of works. He's not too overbearing or over-involved in our lives, just there when we have a list of things we need. But how do you know if you're on the nice list or the naughty list? There's no real way to know. And that's what John is saying in John 1:16-18. No o...

This year is different, but we still long for a place like family where we know we'll belong and where our seat at the table is secure no matter what. John tells us that he's writing his account of the life of Jesus so that we might see that is "the Son of God." He uses this picture of family to tell us something about Jesus. But what does it actually mean that Jesus is "God's Son?" What we...

It's kind of cute. In John's story of the life of Jesus, he skips all of that and gets right to the heart of the most important question: who really is this kid in the manger? And what John tells us in John 1:1-3 is that he's more than just a kid - he's God himself.

Maybe you succeeded somewhat, maybe you failed, but either way it was probably difficult. That's the point Jesus is making in John 15 when he says "apart from me you can do nothing." Using a picture of vines and branches, Jesus says that it's only by being connected to him that we can do anything good. So what does it take to be connected to him?

2020-11-2153 minWingfoot ChurchThere Is No Other Lifeboat - Hope Has A NameChristianity has a reputation for being an exclusive religion - only a few people get to go to heaven. That's what Jesus seems to be saying in John 14. But what if Christianity isn't as exclusive as you might think? Whether you are religious or non-religious, you have some idea of what heaven is all about and chances are, it involves some people being in and some people being out. Jesus, on the other hand, says that no one gets in. Which means the way to heaven is the same for all of us.

2020-11-1442 minWingfoot ChurchWhere Is God When Life Hurts? - Hope Has A NameAs much as we try to ignore it, we can't avoid suffering and death. And in the middle of suffering we're left wondering why it seems like God has abandoned us. But in John 11, we see Jesus offering us a different hope - his presence in the midst of our pain. He weeps with us, knowing our pain and heartache. But we also see his power over the grave - that we live because he takes our grave for us. This changes everything about how we face our immediate suffering and how we think about our future.

How do we know which voices we can trust? In John 10, Jesus uses the example of a shepherd and sheep to caution us about putting too much trust in two voices - the thief and the hired hand. The thief will hurt us and the hired hand will abandon us. But only a good shepherd sticks with his sheep. And that is who Jesus is for us. A shepherd who knows us, cares for us, and has proven his love for us...

We cover the history of airships and the Zeppelin company up until one of their airships crashed through a skylight into a bank, on the first day it flew. It was the largest air crash to date, 18 years before the crash of the hindenberg was broadcast live. Why did anybody think this was a good idea?
