NO SEPARATION || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 14:45:00 -0400

Romans 8 begins with no condemnation and ends with no separation. Everything in between is God making the case that once we have trusted Christ, nothing — not suffering, not failure, not death, not the forces of hell itself — can pull us out of his love. In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells closes out Romans 8 with one of the most sweeping declarations in all of Scripture. Through the story of a couple who held hands for 72 years and never let go, the suffering of the apostle Paul, and the identity of a theologian who cared for his paralyzed wife for 40 years without complaint — this message calls us to rest in a love that has no beginning and can have no end. We are not just loved. We are secure. We are accepted. We are, in the deepest sense, the ones Jesus loves.

WELCOME THE NEWCOMER || Phill Kwon || Ruth 2

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:25:00 -0400

In this message from Ruth 2, guest preacher Phill Kwon walks through one of the most quietly powerful stories in all of Scripture — not a story of miracles or fire from the sky, but of a man who knew God's heart well enough to see a newcomer, welcome her into his community, and show her radical, extravagant generosity. Boaz didn't wait for a program to take care of Ruth. He didn't assume someone else would say hello. He simply saw her — and moved toward her.

This message explores what it means to be a church that reflects the heart of El Roi, the God who sees, and what it looks like in practice to welcome the stranger, the visitor, and the newcomer the way God does.

NO CHARGE, NO CONDEMNATION || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:55:00 -0400

Many of us carry guilt that Christ has already paid for. We hear the accusing voices — from our own conscience, from past failures, from an enemy who wants to keep us chained to what God has already forgiven. But Romans 8:33–34 asks two of the most liberating questions in all of Scripture: Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? Who is to condemn?

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through what it means that God has justified us completely — and why that changes everything. Because of four unshakable truths about Jesus — he died, he was raised, he is seated at the right hand of God, and he is interceding for us right now — no charge can stand and no condemnation can hold. The blood of Jesus has already washed it all away.

This message explores the difference between God's voice and the accuser's voice, why guilt is not God's solution for sin, and how the grace of God is bigger than any failure we've carried.

WE NEED EACH OTHER || Justin Kessler

Tue, 26 May 2026 14:15:00 -0400

Most of us will never do something the world calls great. But every one of us can do small things — with great love.

In this message from 2 Timothy 1, Pastor Justin Kessler unpacks one of the most underestimated truths in the church today: we need each other more than we realize. From Paul writing his final letter to a young, fearful Timothy in prison, to a Post-it note on a gas station pump that brought a grown man to tears — this message is a reminder that ordinary, faithful investment in the people right in front of us is how God actually builds his kingdom.

FOR US || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:45:00 -0400

Four words hold more weight than we often realize: God is for us. Not against us. Not indifferent. For us. In this message from Romans 8:31–32, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through what John Piper called the most inspiring verse in all the Bible — and what it means that the God who did not spare his own Son will freely give us everything we truly need. We do have enemies. We do face hardship. But none of that changes the posture of God toward us. He has set his love upon us and he will not remove it.

LOVING YOUR KIDS || Jeff Wells || Mother's Day

Tue, 12 May 2026 14:25:00 -0400

Most parents deeply love their children — but love isn't just a feeling. It's a practice. In this Mother's Day message from Matthew 22:36–40, Pastor Jeff Wells unpacks ten practical ways parents express love to their kids, drawn from Scripture, research, and decades of pastoral wisdom. From tender affection and firm discipline, to focused listening, being present, and knowing when to say "I'm sorry" — this message is honest, practical, and full of grace for every parent in the room. Whether you feel like you're doing well or falling short, this is a reminder that the goal isn't perfection. It's love — and God gives the grace to love well.

THE GOLDEN CHAIN OF SALVATION || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 04 May 2026 14:50:00 -0400

From eternity past to eternity future, God's plan for your salvation has never been in jeopardy. In Romans 8:29–30, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through what theologians have called the Golden Chain of Salvation — five unbreakable links that stretch from God's foreknowledge all the way to glorification. Foreknew. Predestined. Called. Justified. Glorified. Every person God foreknew, he predestined. Every person he predestined, he called. Every person he called, he justified. And every person he justified, he glorified. No one falls out of the chain. The same God who chose you is the God who keeps you — and all the credit goes to him.

WHY SHOULD GOD LET YOU INTO HEAVEN? || Rob Renfroe || Romans 3

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:40:00 -0400

In this message, guest preacher Rob Renfroe walks through four things everyone needs to hear: God loves you and wants the best for you. We are all sinners separated from the God who loves us. God has made a way for us to become right with him. And that gift is received through faith — not through your good works, not through generosity, not through being better than the people around you.

GROANINGS NOW || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:30:00 -0400

In this message from Romans 8, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through the final two of three groanings Paul describes in the middle of this great chapter. Believers groan inwardly, waiting eagerly and patiently for the return of Christ and the redemption of everything broken in this world. And in that same waiting, the Holy Spirit himself groans on our behalf — interceding for us with prayers too deep for words, translating our feeble requests into the perfect will of God.

THE SON OF GOD || Jeff Wells || Easter at WoodsEdge

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:50:00 -0400

In this Easter message from Mark 15–16, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through the death and resurrection of Jesus and what those two events mean for every person alive today. The cross was not an interruption in the story. It was the purpose of it. And the empty tomb is not just a historical claim — it is an offer. The world gives promises full of emptiness. Easter gives emptiness full of promise. Whatever you have been searching for, whatever you are carrying into this service today — Jesus made you, died for you, rose for you, and loves you. He is risen.

SUNRISE SERVICE || Rob Renfroe || Easter at WoodsEdge

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:49:00 -0400

In this Easter sunrise message, guest speaker Pastor Rob Renfroe preaches from the road to Emmaus and brings a word for anyone who feels lost, burdened by guilt, or overwhelmed by problems too big to carry. Whether you are walking through darkness, shame, or a season that has stripped away every hope you once had — Jesus Christ is alive, and he is with you. Three reminders for every season of life: when you are lost, Jesus is with you. When guilt and shame weigh you down, Jesus is with you. And when your problems feel bigger than you are — take a deep breath, lean back, and trust the one who has already overcome the world.

SUFFERING THEN GLORY || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 18:10:00 -0400

Suffering is real. But it doesn't have the final word. In Romans 8:18–22, Pastor Jeff Wells opens one of the most hope-filled passages in all of Scripture — a passage that puts our present pain in the light of an eternal glory that is incomparably greater. Paul doesn't minimize suffering. He lived it. But he could still write that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory to come. This message explores why that's true, what that glory actually looks like, and what it means that all of creation itself is groaning — standing on tiptoe — waiting for that day. If you are carrying something heavy right now, this message is for you. Suffering is a drop. Glory is an ocean. There is no comparison.

MORTIFICATION & ADOPTION || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 19:02:00 -0400

What does it mean to be adopted by God? In Romans 8:12–17, Pastor Jeff Wells unpacks two powerful works of the Holy Spirit — mortification and adoption — and what they mean for everyday life as a follower of Christ. Through the Spirit, we are no longer slaves to sin or fear. We have been adopted by God as his own children, and we can call him Abba — Father. This message explores what that identity means, how to walk in it, and why it changes everything.

EYES THAT SEE || David Hill || Luke 18

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 17:28:00 -0400

In this message from Pastor David Hill, we look at the story of the blind man who cried out to Jesus as He passed by on the road to Jericho. While the crowd tried to silence him, he refused to stay quiet because he knew Jesus was his only hope. In this powerful moment, we see a striking contrast: those who believed they could see clearly often failed to recognize who Jesus truly was, while a blind man recognized Him as the Messiah.

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 17:19:00 -0400

In this message from Romans 8:5–11, Pastor Jeff Wells reminds us that the Christian life is lived by the power of the Holy Spirit, not by human effort alone. Scripture contrasts two ways of living: life according to the flesh, centered on self, and life according to the Spirit, centered on Christ. When our minds are set on the Spirit, the result is life and peace. This passage challenges us to examine what is truly governing our lives. Are we relying on our own strength, or are we learning to depend on the Spirit of God who lives within us? Because the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in every believer, we are empowered to live transformed lives marked by surrender, dependence, and a growing love for Christ.

NO CONDEMNATION! || Jeff Wells || Romans 8

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:05:00 -0400

In this message from Romans 8:1–4, Pastor Jeff Wells begins a powerful journey through one of the most hope-filled chapters in all of Scripture. These opening verses declare a life-changing truth for every believer: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Through the finished work of Christ, we are fully forgiven, completely set free, and eternally secure in God’s love. This passage not only lifts the weight of guilt and shame but also points us to the daily reality of life in the Spirit. The Christian life is not sustained by our effort or performance, but by dependence on the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit within us. As we learn to rest in Christ’s finished work and walk in step with the Spirit, we discover both the freedom of the gospel and the strength to live transformed lives.

ARE YOU LISTENING? || Kevin Phillips || Bring Hope Sunday

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:35:00 -0400

In this message from 1 Samuel 3, Kevin Phillips walks through the calling of Samuel and asks a searching question for every believer: are you truly listening for the voice of God? In a time when the word of the Lord was rare, God was still speaking—and He is still speaking today to hearts that are attentive and surrendered.

Through Samuel’s story, we see why we often struggle to hear God clearly and how obedience begins with a simple posture of humility: “Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.” This message challenges us to remove the distractions that dull our spiritual hearing, seek wise voices who can help us discern God’s leading, and respond with courage when He calls. When we learn to listen and obey, God faithfully shapes our lives for His purposes and makes His voice known through us.

THE SUFFERING SERVANT PART 2 || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 18:14:00 -0400

In this message from Isaiah 53:7–12, Pastor Jeff Wells finishes our look at one of the most powerful and gospel-rich passages in the Old Testament. Written centuries before the cross, Isaiah paints a vivid portrait of the Suffering Servant—silent before His accusers, innocent yet condemned, and willingly offering Himself as a substitute for sinners. This passage brings us face to face with the heart of the gospel: Jesus did not simply suffer as an example—He died in our place. Through His sacrifice, many are counted righteous, and through His resurrection, the victory of the cross is secured forever. This message calls us to examine whether we have taken the cross for granted and invites us to live with renewed gratitude, worship, and surrender to the Lamb of God who bore our sin.

THE GIFT OF THE WILDERNESS || Rob Renfroe || Isaiah

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:37:00 -0400

In this message, Rob Renfroe teaches from Isaiah 43:18–21, reminding us that God often does His deepest work in the wilderness seasons of life. When God’s people felt forgotten, displaced, and weary, He spoke words of hope—declaring that He was doing something new, even in places that felt dry, barren, and devastating. This passage invites us to see the wilderness not only as a season to endure, but as a place where God forms us, shapes us into the likeness of Christ, and prepares us to become a blessing to others. As we learn to seek God, cling to what truly matters, and walk with others through hardship, we discover that what once felt unbearable can become one of the greatest gifts God uses to transform our lives.

THE SUFFERING SERVANT || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:30:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches on the most profound and gospel-rich passages in the Old Testament—Isaiah 52:13–53:6. Often called the Mount Everest of Scripture, this passage presents a vivid portrait of the Suffering Servant, written centuries before the cross, yet describing with stunning clarity the death, rejection, and triumph of Jesus Christ.

BUILT TOGETHER || Phill Kwon

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:35:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Phill Kwon teaches from Ephesians 2:11–22, reminding us that we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. Scripture reveals that apart from Christ we were separated from God and from one another—but through the cross, Jesus has reconciled us and made us one. He is our peace, breaking down walls of hostility and forming a new people united by grace.

GOD'S HEART FOR THE ORPHANS || Jeff Wells || Human Life Sunday

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:49:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells reminds us that God has a deep and compassionate heart for the orphan and the foster child. Drawing from Scripture across the Old and New Testaments, we see that care for the vulnerable is not a side issue in the Bible—it flows directly from the character of God Himself. He is the Father to the fatherless, the defender of the weak, and the One who identifies personally with those who have been forgotten or overlooked.

REVIVAL! || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:47:00 -0400

In this message from Isaiah 64:1–4, Pastor Jeff Wells invites us into a passionate prayer for revival, a cry for God to rend the heavens and come down. Isaiah’s words express a deep longing for the felt presence of God, for His glory to be revealed, and for hearts and nations to be shaken by who He is. Revival, we are reminded, is not human effort or strategy, but God Himself drawing near to His people.

OPEN YOURSELF TO JOY || Rob Renfroe

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 18:26:00 -0400

In this message, Rob Renfroe invites us to discover that joy is not something that happens to us—it is something we learn. Drawing from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we are reminded that lasting joy is possible in every circumstance, even when life is hard, unfair, and full of struggle.

ISAIAH 42 || Tim Johnson || Isaiah

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 16:18:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Tim Johnson teaches from Isaiah 42, pointing us to the Servant promised by God—one who is delighted in by the Father, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sent to bring justice, light, and freedom to a broken world. Through this passage, we see both the first and second coming of Jesus, the Servant who came humbly and will return to establish perfect justice.

This message reminds us that God is faithful to His promises, that Jesus finishes what He starts, and that we can walk with Him in hope and trust—even when the wait is long—because our Rescuer has come and is coming again.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB || Jeff Wells || Christmas at WoodsEdge

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 16:16:00 -0400

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Jeff Wells tells the Christmas story from Luke 2:1–7 and are reminded that the birth of Jesus is both simple and stunning. Born in humility, wrapped in swaddling cloths, and laid in a manger, the eternal Son of God entered the world quietly—but with a purpose that would change everything.

Through the contrast between earthly power and God’s sovereignty, this message points us to Jesus as the true King and the Lamb of God, born to suffer, die, and save sinners. Christmas is ultimately a story of love—God’s love for the world—and an invitation for every heart to make room for Christ.

READY FOR THE RESCUER || Phill Kwon || Isaiah

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 17:13:00 -0400

In this message, Phill Kwon teaches from Isaiah 52, revealing humanity’s deep need for rescue and God’s promise to bring salvation into a broken world. Through the prophet’s words, we see the reality of sin, sorrow, and exile—but also the hope of good news proclaimed to a people waiting in darkness. Isaiah points us to a rescuer who would come not through power or politics, but through suffering, humility, and obedience. This message invites us to live with hope in the waiting, trusting that God is faithful to His promises and that our Rescuer has come—and is coming again.

JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:08:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches from Isaiah 11:1–2, showing how the promised Messiah would live fully dependent on the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not minister by His own strength, but by the power, wisdom, and presence of the Spirit resting upon Him.

Through Scripture from Isaiah, the Gospels, and the book of Acts, this message reminds us that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own power. Just as Jesus and the early church lived by the Spirit, we too are invited to walk daily in dependence on the Holy Spirit—the power God has given us for faithful, fruitful living.

FOR UNTO US || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 16:21:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches from Isaiah 9:1–7, reminding us that when darkness, fear, and despair overwhelm the world, God’s answer is not political power, military strength, or human solutions—His answer is a child. Isaiah declares that the light breaking into the darkness comes through the promised Messiah, the One called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

COME TO ME! || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 18:10:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches from Isaiah 55, where God extends a gracious invitation to come, listen, and receive the life only He can give. He reminds us that nothing in this world can satisfy the deepest places of the soul—only Jesus offers the water, bread, and joy our hearts long for.

Through this passage, we see that God’s Word never returns empty, His promises never fail, and His compassion is available to anyone who will come to Him.

ABIDING, NOT STRIVING || Scot Pollok || Isaiah

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:02:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Scott Pollok walks through Isaiah 5 and John 15 to reveal the heart of God as the loving vine dresser and Jesus as the True Vine. Through rich imagery and biblical connection, he shows how God calls us to abide in Christ, trust His pruning, and bear lasting fruit that reflects His glory.

This message invites believers to rest in their identity as God’s beloved, embrace His process of transformation, and experience the joy that comes from a life rooted in Jesus.

THROUGH THE WATERS AND THE FIRE || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:43:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches from Isaiah 43:1–7, reminding us that even when we walk through deep waters or fiery trials, God is with us. He is our Creator, Redeemer, and Savior—the One who calls us by name and says, “You are mine.”

Through this passage, Pastor Jeff helps us see that God’s love is personal and unshakable, casting out fear and giving strength to endure whatever we face, because the One who made us will see us through.

THE INCOMPARABLE GOD, Part 2 || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:48:00 -0400

Through honest reflection and powerful stories, Pastor Jeff points us to the God who never grows tired, never forgets His people, and renews the strength of those who wait on Him.

THE INCOMPARABLE GOD || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 18:01:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through Isaiah 40:12–31 and reminds us that God is far greater than anything in creation. When life feels overwhelming, we are invited to lift our eyes and remember that the God who holds the oceans in His hand and calls every star by name is big enough to carry every burden.

Through vivid imagery and timeless truth, this passage shows us that God is incomparable—limitless in power, unsearchable in wisdom, and faithful to renew the strength of those who wait on Him.

FOUNDATION || Jeff Wells || Isaiah

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:26:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells teaches from Isaiah 40:6–8, reminding us that while everything in life fades, the Word of God stands forever. Through stories of faith and perseverance, he calls us to build our lives on the Bible, the only unshakable foundation in a world that is constantly shifting. The Bible is more than words on a page; it is the living truth that restores, anchors, and transforms the soul.

OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS || David Hill || Isaiah

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 18:05:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor David Hill walks through Isaiah 61 and the calling to become “oaks of righteousness.” Just as Jesus was anointed to bring good news, heal the brokenhearted, and set captives free, we too are empowered by the same Spirit to carry His mission into the world.

Bold Love is not casual or convenient—it is radical, passionate, and transformative.

LIFESTYLE OF REPENTANCE || Jeff Wells || Prepare Initiative

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:32:00 -0400

DEEP-HEARTED WORSHIP || Greg Johnson || Prepare Initiative

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 17:59:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells unpacks Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 9:6–8 and reminds us that discipleship is impossible without generosity. Using the metaphor of sowing and reaping, he shows how our giving reflects our trust in God and our love for Him. True generosity isn’t about obligation but joy—because God loves a cheerful giver.

GOD'S CALLING FOR WOODSEDGE || Jeff Wells || Prepare Initiative

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 17:23:00 -0400

It’s about revival, discipleship, and seeing Houston become a city of God.

WORSHIP AND MISSIONS || Jeff Wells || Psalms: Chasing the Heart of God

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 16:48:00 -0400

In this message, Pastor Jeff Wells walks through Psalm 96—a call to “declare God’s glory among the nations.” From Jesus’ words in John 4, we learn that God is seeking worshippers—hearts captivated by His greatness and love. True worship is more than singing; it’s living every part of life for His glory. And when we see His worth, we long for all peoples to know and worship Him. Psalm 96 reveals God’s global heart and invites us to join His mission—so that every tongue, tribe, and nation will proclaim: “The Lord reigns!”

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 16:33:00 -0400

In this powerful message from Psalm 73, DeLeon Bennett walks us through what it means to keep our footing when life shakes us. What do you do when you know God is good, but your circumstances don’t seem to reflect it? When the wicked prosper and the faithful suffer, how do you keep from slipping?

With raw honesty and heartfelt wisdom, this sermon reminds us that while our footing may feel unstable, God’s presence gives us strength, perspective, and purpose. It's not about ignoring the brokenness around us—but learning to stay grounded in who God is.

HOPE AS WORSHIP || Tim Johnson || Psalms: Chasing the Heart of God
