  • WWJDIHWM #10 When You Pray
    2026/05/11

    Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13

    Speaker: Scott Meyer

    Summary: Jesus taught prayer not as a formula for getting what we want, but a process of heart transformation and trust in God. Scott walks through the Lord’s Prayer, showing how each line teaches believers to relate to God as a loving Father, honor His holiness, surrender to His will, depend on Him daily, confess sin honestly, forgive others, and seek His guidance and deliverance. The message emphasizes that prayer is not about performing perfectly or controlling God, but about developing a deeper relationship with Him and learning daily dependence. Using Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as the ultimate example, the sermon shows that even when God does not remove suffering or answer prayers the way we hope, prayer still matters because it shapes our hearts to trust and surrender to Him. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to make prayer a daily first response rather than a last resort, allowing God to form them into people who trust, forgive, and rely fully on Him.

  • WWJDIHWM #9 Audience of Your Life
    2026/05/03

    Scripture: Matthew 6:1-8 & 16-18

    ,Speaker: Scott Meyer

    Summary: Following Jesus is not just about outward religious behavior, but about developing a genuine relationship with God from the heart. Jesus’ warns in Matthew 6 that people can appear deeply spiritual through giving, praying, and fasting while still being disconnected from God because they are seeking the approval of others instead of intimacy with their Heavenly Father. Hypocrisy, as Jesus described it, is not simply failing morally but performing faith like an actor on a stage for applause and recognition. The sermon challenges believers to live for an “audience of one” by practicing hidden acts of faith, examining their motives, and valuing God’s approval more than public praise. Meyer concludes by reminding listeners that true spiritual growth happens in the quiet, unseen places of life.

  • WWJDIHWM #8 The Heart of Revenge
    2026/04/26

    Scripture: Matthew 5:38-48, Romans 5:8

    Speaker: Scott Meyer

    Summary: The sermon begins by describing how early “playground rules” shape us to instinctively seek payback when we are wronged, replaying offenses in our minds and wanting revenge rather than simple justice.

    Jesus addresses this in the Sermon on the Mount by quoting “eye for an eye” as a limit on escalating retaliation, then pushing further to deal with the deeper human desire for revenge rather than just regulating it. He teaches counterintuitive practices like turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, and giving more than is demanded, showing that followers of Jesus are called to creative, courageous non-retaliation rather than passive weakness. Jesus then commands love for enemies and prayer for those who persecute us—not merely praying about them but praying for their good—which breaks the internal cycle of hatred and revenge, a pattern ultimately modeled by Jesus himself on the cross. The sermon concludes that responding this way reflects the character of God, transforms our hearts, and interrupts the cycle of retaliation so we can become peacemakers who truly look like children of our heavenly Father.
