“Love Through Discipline” By Zach Wood Hebrews 12:11, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” We all know that discipline makes us stronger and teaches us to learn to do...

“Give Him Praise” By Zach Wood Psalm 100- “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with...

“The Power Of His Great Love” By Zach Wood Romans 8:38-39 There’s something powerful about this passage every time I read it and share it with others. I am always reminded that, no matter what happens in my life and what hard times I go through, God’s love will always be strong to protect and...

“Breathtaking Beauty” By Zach Wood Psalm 19:1 Out of all the wonderful things I’ve seen through my years of life, nothing takes my breath away like when I see a beautiful sunrise or a sunset. I could be just taking a walk by myself, with my family or be in the car going somewhere. No matter...

“What Holds You Back?” By Zach Wood Matthew 19:21-22 Here is the story of the rich young man that so many of us have read about time and time again. I’m sure many of us learned about him in Sunday School through the years and have heard several sermons as well regarding his encounter with...

“Beauty From Pruning” By Zach Wood John 15:1-2 This passage was part of the main text I used for Sunday’s sermon. Jesus is very clear in telling us that if we are not connected to Him, we are not growing and receive no nourishment. This is so clear and we need to take notice of this in our...

“Are We Completely Committed?” By Zach Wood John 6:66 Jesus talked to the crowd about He Himself being the Bread of Life after He just served a huge feast to them. So many were just coming for the food and for the “show”, but Jesus wanted more commitment. Jesus shares with them that He...

“Seek To Encourage” By Zach Wood Psalm 34:12-14 This past Sunday, I had a message about how it’s good for us to consider the lessons we have learned through the years and in the past year as we look into a new year. It’s good for us to take some inventory of things we’ve done great and maybe...

“Obey Or Disobey” By Zach Wood Jonah 1:1-3 As I have been reading this book recently, Jonah’s story has intrigued me once again. I’m especially amazed how this book begins. God directs Jonah to do something and Jonah does not hesitate to just run the opposite way God commands. Instead of...

“Led By His Word” By Zach Wood 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 So often we get caught up in the trap of thinking we need more wisdom to share with others. We come to feel often that we need more training to share God’s love with other people in the right ways. Yes, we do need wisdom and education in many...

“A Love For Forever” By Zach Wood Psalm 136:1 Many of you may be familiar with the song by Chris Tomlin called “Forever”. The words talk about this psalm and how no matter what is going on in life, that God is good and is working through all things in life. His love endures forever, no matter...

“First And Foremost” By Zach Wood Psalm 63:1 For the past six weeks, we have been doing the sermon series “gods at war”, by Kyle Idleman, at our church. It has been one of the best series I’ve ever gone through and it has been very challenging and convicting. Today, as we closed with the...

“A Different ‘Want’ List” By Zach Wood Philippians 4:11-13 Like any human being in this world, I have things that I want. It’s been hard through the years to determine sometimes what should be a want and what should be considered a true need. I’d like to share with you a different type of...

“Learning To Be Content” By Zach Wood Philippians 4:11-12 I really appreciate what the Apostle Paul shares here from his heart. The key word here is “learned”. It’s obvious that being content is not something natural for us. We have to indeed learn to be content. We all deal with many...

“Only His Way” By Zach Wood Proverbs 16:25 As I’ve studied some of the Proverbs for my sermons and also for personal devotional times, this passage has always stuck out to me. Why? Because I see myself practicing this problem daily. It’s not that I intentionally try to go my own way. I...

“No Degree Required” By Zach Wood Acts 4:13 So often, we are told we need certain certifications in order to do a job. Granted, you do need this and would be a great idea to have the proper certifications in order to do certain jobs that you apply for. You definitely wouldn’t want me working...

“Truly WEiRD” By Zach Wood John 14:6 This passage seems a bit narrow-minded to a lost world around us. Jesus doesn’t say He is a way, a truth and a life that could be considered living. He is very specific and firm in making this statement. If anyone is to follow the true path of life, they...

“Keep It Going” By Zach Wood Galatians 6:9-10 When I read this passage on my YouVersion Bible app yesterday morning, it really hit home with me. I don’t think there is any one of us who has not been affected by what this passage talks about. We try to be consistent in our efforts to do our...

“Is He Your True Desire?” By Zach Wood Psalm 73:25-26 Every one of us would agree about how our desire should be for God and not for the things of this world. However, if we honestly took a daily look at our lives from a distance, we would most likely see a difference from what we desire and...

“From Desire To Intentional” By Zach Wood Proverbs 2:1-5 I try to be intentional about a lot of things. I want to be intentional about being a positive role model to my kids. I want to be intentional about being a supportive and loving husband for my wife. I want to be intentional about...
