In I Corinthians 4:7, the Apostle Paul poses two pointed questions to believers: “And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” When we consider this, how can we not be thankful? Wesley Strackbein explores this theme in depth, showing how God’s holiness, love, and immutability gives us reason for true hope. -
In this sobering yet encouraging message, Wesley Strackbein explains ten key lessons from the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant, emphasizing that, in gratitude to the great debt paid on their behalf by Christ’s great sacrifice, true Christians will be characterized by a posture of forgiveness toward those who have wronged them. Rather than demand a pound of flesh for harms done, they will show real compassion and forgive. Click here to also download the free mp3 audio message, “The Parable of the Talents” -
In this engaging sermon, Wesley Strackbein brings out seventeen lessons from the Parable of the Talents. Among the points emphasized is that faithful servants discharge their stewardship responsibilities to God with immediacy and urgency, as well as this key lesson: that all the talents we possess are well within our capacity to rightly steward, so we must take responsibility — not make excuses — for what’s been entrusted to our care.

How do you respond when you overcome hardship and achieve success? The proud man says, “Look what I have done by my own strength.” The humble man says, “Look what God has enabled me to do in my utter weakness.” In this message, Wesley Strackbein discusses how we must dispel with the prideful notion that we can “pull up ourselves by our bootstraps” and walk humbly instead, “for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:4-7).
