Individual people matter. We matter to God. Even people who are not famous, and most people are not, are significant to others. When our current bodies stop working, that is not all there is. There are a bunch of people who will give you free stuff to make you an addict, in debt, or both. Life and death are not negotiable. If we don't have hope in the resurrection, life becomes meaningless. Whether we are famous or not, what truly matters is our relationship with God. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42823201127247 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 16 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:31:34 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42823204487476 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis.

Human life is sacred, and we must follow God's plan for humanity. The broad road leads to destruction; the narrow road leads to life. God's judgment is coming. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/428231743542464 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 07 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:37:26 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42823171917338 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis.

Abram believed in the Lord, which was credited to him as righteousness. God cut humanity a deal. We cannot earn our salvation. We should not be afraid.

Human nature does not change. The victory comes from the Lord. The government is of God, whether good or bad. If the government is terrible, the people need to repent. God is in control. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/428231533334095 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 24 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:20 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42823150145200 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. With blessing and prosperity come challenges. We should not just go by how things look on the outside; we must focus on God and what He wants. When God blesses us, we need to be a channel and not a reservoir. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42823150145200 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 21 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:30:50 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/427231134142771 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. God cares when we sin, even though God blesses us despite our sins.

Nimrod became a mighty hunter and then a mighty warrior. Nimrod's name is synonymous with rebellion. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/425231224492262 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 30 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:31:05 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/425231158327545 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. The curse on Canaan is not a curse on Africans. Noah did something he should not have done, Noah got drunk. What constitutes modesty in one setting does not constitute modesty in another setting. We cannot solve the modesty problem by adding more rules or adding more fabric. We, as Christians, do not want to devalue human life. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/425231158327545 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:38:54 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42123200285945 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. God had a right to do what He did in creating the flood since we all have a death sentence. It is remarkable not that God killed everyone but that God chose to save Noah and his family. People are made in God's image, which makes our lives matter. Jesus is the only way to be saved; He is our only hope. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/42123200285945 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 26 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:02 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231938243034 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231938243034 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 23 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:51 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231932245009 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. God told Noah that He was going to put an end to the earth because of the violence of the people. The only thing that gives life valuable is God. God has the right to take life and the right to give life. God chose who He would save, and He chose Noah and his family. People had sinned so grievously that God was grieved. Noah, though not sinless, was blameless in God's eyes, and Noah did everything that God commanded. Our sinful human hearts always want to second-guess God. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231932245009 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 21 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:38:24 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231916272559 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. In 150 years from now, we will not be on this earth. Where we will be, depends on what we do with God the Father's word and His Son Jesus. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/413231916272559 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 19 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:36:08 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/41323194597206 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. The land of Nod is not a geographical location; it is a status of wandering on the Earth. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/41323194597206 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 16 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:32 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/41323121864528 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. We don't have to go a long way to find temptation. The forbidden tree was found in the middle of the Garden of Eden. Legalism does not build Godliness; it only produces more legalism. God is love; He is not a liar. Part of the curse is that there is a power struggle in marriage. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/41323121864528 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 14 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:40:52 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/43231241327743 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. The Bible is true and there was a literal Adam and a literal Eve.

Genesis answers the question of why we are here. We will find the answer if we are seeking the truth. Everything came from God since God created everything. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/107221941451835 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 09 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:37:12 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/1072219014397 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Genesis. God told Moses what the first days of creation were like. There are many things that God made that we cannot see. We cannot clean ourselves up enough to be clean enough for God. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/1072219014397 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 07 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:35:07 no Jim Wood - Genesis 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/10722153306237 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of John.

We have problems; The World, the Flesh, and the Devil. God has a solution for us and in us. We deal with the world by submitting to the Lord. We deal with the flesh by putting it to death, Romans 6:5-18. In Christ, we can say to that which used to be our master, I don't work for you anymore. How to deal with the Devil is in Ephesians 6, the armor of God. We must submit ourselves to God, resist the Devil, and he will flee from us. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/106221834482210 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:52:23 no Jim Wood - Staff Training 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/106221756201917 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Colossians.

Why does God let bad things happen? If God were to come down right and destroy all the bad things in the world, none of us would be here. The world has not always been a mess. God made this world a perfect paradise. One day God will make the world a perfect paradise again for all those who God calls. We should ask why there is sin in us. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/10622177291138 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 19 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:36:03 no Jim Wood - Topical 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/91922175967114 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. If you are going against the idea of making Jesus Christ Lord of your life, it's time to surrender. It is insane for us to think that we can run our own lives. We need to turn our lives over to the Lord. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/91922175967114 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:41:00 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/919221745503745 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. Always remember that there is much more going on than we see. If we put on the Lord Jesus Christ we will be safe and saved. If our goals are self-preservation, pleasure, and comfort, we will spend eternity in Hell. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/919221745503745 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 15 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:47:31 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/915222056233430 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/915222056233430 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 12 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:37 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/915221315332599 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. Daniel's prayer is a model prayer for us. Daniel recognized that we all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. God is the One who said our lives are valuable. If we blame God because we suffer, we misunderstand God. Daniel prayed for mercy, and God gave mercy. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/915221315332599 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 10 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:36:56 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/914221942417706 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel.

We need to keep on doing the right thing. Daniel kept praying three times a day after the decree just as he had been doing in the past. Those who refuse to do what God says will be consumed by God's wrath. If we are trusting in Jesus and Him alone, we do not need to be afraid. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/91422184233127 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 05 Aug 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:33:01 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/91322204627360 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel.

There is one God, Yahweh; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. God's children are not afraid because God is in control of all things. God hates arrogance. God allows His enemies to rail against Him until their time is up. If we think we don't deserve Hell, then we absolutely deserve Hell. People who get saved are those to whom God reveals Himself. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/729221819334950 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 29 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:53:10 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/72822181044355 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. If we are trying to fit in, we are following the world. Instead we need to do what God says no matter what the cost. Even when we feel fear, we still need to obey the Lord. When we obey God, we might go through fiery trials but that which binds us will be destroyed. When we are not afraid to die, we will truly live. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/72822181044355 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 27 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:36:27 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725222058377065 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel. God is making an unshakable Kingdom that will not shrink. All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Jesus. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. God knows exactly what is going to happen and there is no panic in Heaven. God is in control and He does not approve of everything that everyone is doing. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725222058377065 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:57 no Jim Wood - Daniel 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221753201883 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Daniel.

No one has the authority to command what God forbids or forbid what God commands. Everything is God's and should be used for His glory. We are called to live according to the hope that awaits us. When we are obedient in this life, we will show some wounds for it. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221728116565 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 01 Jul 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:33:01 no Jim Wood - Topical 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221653354504 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Revelation. Warnings. When we ignore warnings, we suffer, but so do other people. If God wanted to destroy us He could very easily. Instead, God is drawing us to Himself by offering life through forgiveness. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221653354504 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 17 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:40:06 no Jim Wood - Topical 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221527292269 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Acts. The full Gospel is telling people the Good News after informing them of the bad news first. God does not need our help in order to save us. Jesus died so that we could be made brand new. When we repent, we turn away from sin. If we are going to be faithful in telling people the Good News, we must be faithful in telling people the bad news. Peter pleaded with the people to repent. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/725221527292269 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 10 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:33:22 no Jim Wood - Topical 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/61022205654500 Pastor Wood teaches from Psalm 113.

Nahum prophesied about the destruction of Nineveh. Why would the United States of America expect anything other than what happened to Nineveh in the days of Nahum? There is only one place of safety, and that is in Christ Jesus. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/6722163381363 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 06 Jun 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:48:41 no Jim Wood - Topical 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/67221538412026 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Jonah. Jonah did not tell the city of Nineveh because Jonah wanted to see the destruction of the city. If we try to find joy in circumstances instead of in the Lord, we will not have joy at all. Judgement is real and coming and God is warning us. God provides. If we don't want children to be destroyed, adults need to repent. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/67221538412026 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 27 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:30:35 no Jim Wood - Jonah 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/6722152212550 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Jonah. Jonah sank to the bottom and didn't know that a fish was going to swallow him. When he was in the fish he didn't know how many days he would be there, but he prayed to God. We will never improve our situation by sinning. Salvation comes from the Lord. Sometimes, in His mercy, God will put us in a dark situation for our good. No matter what we are going through God offers salvation to those who ask Him. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/6722152212550 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 25 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:29:24 no Jim Wood - Jonah 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/67221455487268 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Jonah. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/67221455487268 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 23 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:03 no Jim Wood - Jonah 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/6322191796931 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James.

To be filled with the Spirit is to be yielded to the Spirit. We must obey God. We must be patient and wait for the Lord. Being saved by the Lord and being forgiven by the Lord are not the same. To be saved by the Lord means that we must obey Him.

There is wisdom that comes from the world, and there is also true wisdom that comes from the Lord. We have trouble seeing the truth. Our enemy is not the other person, but Satan. We must not proclaim the truth without being humble. In life we must know the truth, and we must speak the truth in love. We must live lives of truth in humility. Jesus is Lord and we need to want to do as He says. What if our last day on earth was today; are you ready to meet God? https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/512221428431653 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 11 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:28 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/512221423104364 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James.

We cannot ask dead people to do anything. There are people who are spiritually dead but claim to be speaking for the Lord. We express faith by what we say and what we do. If we don't trust God's word and do what it says, that is not obedient faith. We are saved by grace, through faith, and it is displayed in the works we do. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/51122205146812 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 04 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:38:39 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221718457575 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James. We should associate with anyone to whom God directs us. God is willing to associate with us. We are not to show favoritism either to the poor or the rich. Jesus didn't come just so that we could be healed but that we could be part of His family. We must not excuse our sin or the sin of others, but we must mercy for others just as God has had mercy on us. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221718457575 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 02 May 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:40:14 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221637487027 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James. God's word does not change. Every good and perfect gift comes from God. God designed sex to be an expression of love between a man and a woman who are married to each other. God's law is not designed to keep us from flying; it keeps us from crashing. We need to be focused on and obeying God's word. Obeying God's law is not bondage. It is freedom to get and give love. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221637487027 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 29 Apr 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:36:08 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221552113897 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James.

The desire to sin is not sin. Jesus saved us. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221552113897 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 27 Apr 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:34:54 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221510198012 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of James. God is at work in us in order to make us mature and complete. Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God's perspective. God is our Shepherd and He will correct us when we make mistakes. If we want to do God's will more than anything, He will make sure that we will. Don't ask God for wisdom if all we are going to do is consider it as one of the options. We must ask in faith and do what He reveals to us. Everyday we need to write God a blank check. https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/55221510198012 Religion & Spirituality Mon, 25 Apr 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Jim Wood 0:33:47 no Jim Wood - James 2022 https://teaching.wvr.org/sermons/5522124414904 Pastor Wood teaches from the book of Matthew.

Jesus is coming again, and those who love Him will inherit eternal life. Those who are wicked will inherit eternal punishment. Everything we do needs to be done to the glory of God. Satan always offers us the opportunity to be the boss. However, Satan is a liar and the father of lies. Once Jesus comes, there are only two outcomes. Those who are in Christ are part of His body.

God does not need us, but He calls us to come on board with what He is doing so that we can enjoy His blessing.
