Embracing His Likeness | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 2:1-8 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the fundamental call of Christianity – to be Christ-like in our attitudes, actions, and service to others. In a culture obsessed with image, appearance, and self-promotion, God …calls us to something radically different: emptying ourselves as Jesus did, serving others sacrificially, and maintaining unity in the Spirit. This has profound implications for our spiritual life, challenging us to examine whether we’re seeking to embrace Christ’s likeness or merely conforming to cultural expectations. When we truly grasp that Jesus, the King of Kings, became a bond-servant to die for us, it transforms how we view service, humility, and our purpose in the body of Christ.

Takeaways:
– United in Spirit (Phil 2:1-2): We are called to fellowship, encouragement, and unity with one another. This means coming alongside fellow believers with compassion, affection, and consolation – especially during their difficult seasons. Division has no place among us; instead, we must be of the same mind, maintaining the same love, and focused on one purpose: advancing the Gospel.
– United in Grace (Phil 2:3-4): True Christian service flows from humility, not selfish ambition. We are to regard others as more important than ourselves and look out for their interests, not just our own. This means serving without expecting recognition, rewards, or thanks – doing everything as unto the Lord, knowing that our Father who sees in secret will reward us.
– United in Attitude (Phil 2:5-8): The ultimate example is Jesus Himself, who emptied Himself and took the form of a bond-servant. As Christians, we are called to have this same attitude – willingly becoming servants by our own free will and desire. This is what it means to be a bond-servant of Christ: serving sacrificially, dying to ourselves, and following Him obediently, even when it costs us everything.

Remember, the name “Christian” means “Christ-like” or “little Christ.” Our calling is not to embrace the filtered, perfected image that culture demands, but to embrace His likeness – characterized by humility, service, and sacrificial love. Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
May you walk in the unity of the Spirit this week, serving others with the same heart that Christ demonstrated for us.

Having Goals | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 1:21-30 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored what it means to truly live with purpose by …

Today’s sermon explored what it means to truly live with purpose by examining Philippians 1:21-30, where Paul declares “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” …We looked at how Paul’s singular focus on Christ shaped every decision he made, even when facing imprisonment and potential death. This message challenges us to examine our own goals and priorities, asking whether we’re living for temporary satisfaction or eternal significance. Paul’s example shows us that when Christ becomes our ultimate goal, everything else—our finances, health, relationships, and mental well-being—finds its proper place. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: we’re called to move from being “me-centered” to “God-centered,” recognizing that we were created to know and glorify our Creator, and that true fulfillment comes only when we align our lives with His purposes.

Takeaways:
– Our greatest goal should be Christ Himself. While most Americans prioritize saving money, health and fitness, and mental happiness, these are merely byproducts of following Jesus. When we make Christ our primary pursuit, He satisfies the God-shaped void within us that nothing else can fill. Paul understood this deeply—his life wasn’t about personal comfort or even survival, but about exalting Christ whether through life or death.
– Choosing duty over desire leads to fruitful ministry. Paul personally desired to go home to Heaven, but he chose to remain and continue serving because it was better for the Church. We too must learn to submit our personal preferences to God’s will for our lives. This means being faithful where God has placed us—in our families, workplaces, and communities—recognizing that we’re not our own but His, called to be witnesses wherever we are.
– Standing firm requires living worthy of the Gospel. Conducting ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel means striving for integrity and consistency in all areas of life. This includes speaking truth, controlling our anger, working honestly, using our words to build others up, and forgiving as Christ forgave us. As we face opposition and even suffering for our faith, we’re called to stand firm in one spirit, working together for the advancement of the Gospel, knowing that our labor in Christ is never in vain.

As you go through this week, be encouraged to ask yourself: “What is my life really about? Am I living for Christ, or am I still searching for satisfaction in things that can never truly fulfill?” Remember, God knew you before the foundation of the world and has a specific purpose for your life. Don’t waste it chasing temporary pleasures when you were created for eternal significance.
Let’s make our lives count for Him—today and every day.

A Life That Counts | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 1:12-20 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored how we can live lives of eternal significance …

Today’s sermon explored how we can live lives of eternal significance by speaking without fear, maintaining right motives, and boldly exalting Christ in every circumstance. Using the Apostle Paul’s example …from prison, we saw how God can use even our most difficult situations for the advancement of the Gospel. Paul’s imprisonment didn’t silence his witness—instead, it amplified it throughout the entire praetorian guard and beyond. This reminds us that our circumstances don’t determine our effectiveness for Christ; our faithfulness does. When we embrace lifestyle evangelism and commit to loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength while loving our neighbors as ourselves, we become powerful witnesses wherever God has placed us—whether that’s in our workplace, our neighborhood, or even in seasons of hardship.

Takeaways:
– Our greatest impact often comes when we least expect it. We never know when our simple witness will plant seeds that later bear fruit. God calls us to be faithful in sharing His love, trusting Him with the results.
– Difficult circumstances are opportunities for Gospel advancement, not obstacles to it. When we face trials with faith and continue to speak boldly about Christ, we inspire other believers and reach those who are watching our response to adversity.
– We must choose to rejoice regardless of others’ motives or our current situation. Paul rejoiced that Christ was being proclaimed, even when some did it with wrong motives. Our focus should be on faithfully exalting Christ in our bodies, whether by life or by death.

Willing to Serve- Mother's Day 2026 | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Luke 10 & John 11 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the life of Mary, sister of Martha and …

Today’s sermon explored the life of Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus, through three encounters with Jesus found in Luke 10 and John 11-12. Her story reveals what it means …to truly serve God—not through frantic activity, but through worship, surrender, and costly devotion. Mary teaches us that the best place to be is always at Jesus’ feet, whether we’re learning from Him, grieving with Him, or offering Him our most precious gifts. Her example challenges us to examine where we’re placing our priorities and what we’re willing to sacrifice for the One who gave everything for us.

Takeaways:
– A Listening Ear: Like Mary, we need to choose the “good part” by sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening to His Word, even when life’s demands pull us in every direction. Martha was distracted and overwhelmed, but Mary chose presence over productivity. God promises us peace when we remain steadfast in Him (Isaiah 26:3).
– A Broken Heart: Jesus doesn’t delay because He doesn’t care—He delays because He has a greater plan. When Lazarus died, Mary fell at Jesus’ feet in her grief, and Jesus wept with her. God’s love for us is “Agape”—unconditional and unwavering, even when we don’t understand His timing or His ways.
– A Giving Spirit: Mary’s costly gift of perfume worth a year’s wages demonstrated true worship. She gave what was most precious to her because she understood who Jesus was and what He came to do. That which truly counts is always that which costs us something.

As we move forward this week, let’s ask ourselves: Are we sitting at Jesus’ feet regularly? Are we trusting His plan even in our pain? And what are we willing to give Him that actually costs us something?
To all the mothers reading this—thank you for your unwavering service, your sacrificial love, and your willingness to never give up. You reflect the heart of Christ in powerful ways.

Serving Others | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 1:7-11 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored what it truly means to serve others with the …

Today’s sermon explored what it truly means to serve others with the heart of Christ, examining Philippians 1:7-11. We looked at how the Apostle Paul demonstrated genuine love for the …Philippian church even while imprisoned, and what that teaches us about biblical love versus our culture’s self-centered approach. This message challenges us to move beyond merely voting for good causes or throwing money at problems, and instead roll up our sleeves to actively serve those around us. The implications for our spiritual life are profound: real love is not passive feelings but active choices that cost us something—our time, energy, and personal comfort.

Takeaways:
– Real love is a choice, not a feeling. God loved us before we did anything to deserve it. Biblical love (1 Corinthians 13) is patient, kind, and action-oriented. It loves when people agree with us AND when they don’t. It’s praying for that difficult family member, loving your spouse when you’re not sure you like them, and reaching that coworker who has caused you grief.
– Seek God’s will in every decision. Just as God closed doors for Paul in Asia Minor to open the door to Macedonia, God directs our paths when we truly seek Him. Are you praying about your work, relationships, and daily decisions, ending each prayer with “Not my will, but Yours be done”?
– Love with knowledge and discernment. Our love should be rooted in what God says about love, carefully discerning how to serve others in ways that truly help rather than enable. We serve not to earn salvation, but because we’ve already been given salvation through Christ.

This week, be encouraged to ask yourself: “Am I loving those around me the way Christ loves me?” Consider replacing the word “love” with your own name in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 to see where you stand in this high calling.
Let’s choose to be vessels for the Lord, reaching the lost and loving others—not for what we can receive, but because Jesus first loved us.

God Always Finishes | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 1:1-6 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the Book of Philippians, known as the “Book of …

Today’s sermon explored the Book of Philippians, known as the “Book of Joy,” written by the Apostle Paul while imprisoned in Rome. Despite his chains and uncertain future, Paul penned …one of the most encouraging letters in Scripture. We examined how Paul understood the believers in Philippi, stayed in contact with them through letters, and ministered with words of hope. The central truth we discovered is found in Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” This means that when God starts a work in our lives, He will never leave us undone. The question is not whether God will finish His work, but whether we will surrender to His plans and allow Him to mold and shape us according to His purpose.

Takeaways:
– God’s work in us is complete and ongoing. We are not working for victory, but working within victory because God has placed Himself in us through the Holy Spirit. Though we may stumble and fall in our sin nature, He will not abandon the good work He started.
– Hope and joy are available even in difficult circumstances. Paul wrote this letter of joy from a cold Roman prison, teaching us that our circumstances do not have to dictate our spiritual condition. When we stay connected to Christ, we can experience exceeding joy that comes from an inward peace not affected by outward trials.
– Staying in contact and encouraging one another matters deeply. Paul consistently reached out to believers with words of grace and peace. In our difficult times, we need to ask ourselves: Are we reaching out to help those in trouble around us? A simple word of encouragement can make an eternal difference in someone’s life.

As we move forward this week, reflect on the areas where God is working in your life. Are there places where you need to surrender more fully to His plans? Remember, His favor toward us is never ending, and though weeping may last for a night, a shout of joy comes in the morning.

A Planned Meeting | Pastor Steve Wilburn | John 4 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored how Jesus intentionally planned a meeting with …

Today’s sermon explored how Jesus intentionally planned a meeting with a broken, rejected woman whom society had cast aside. Despite being weary from His journey, Jesus waited at Jacob’s well …at noon to meet someone who desperately needed His love and grace. This passage reminds us that no one is beyond God’s reach, no heart is too broken for Him to mend, and no past is too damaged for Him to redeem. Jesus offers us “living water”—eternal satisfaction that the world cannot provide—and He seeks us out even when we feel unworthy of His attention.

Takeaways:
– God orchestrates divine appointments in our lives. Just as Jesus “had to pass through Samaria,” He intentionally pursues each of us, regardless of our past failures or current circumstances. Your brokenness doesn’t disqualify you from His love.
– Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest thirst of our souls. We often look for fulfillment in relationships, possessions, success, or popularity, but these leave us empty. Jesus is the fountain of living water who offers lasting satisfaction when we surrender to Him in spirit and truth.
– Genuine transformation leads to testimony. The Samaritan woman immediately left her water pot and shared her encounter with Jesus. When we truly meet Christ, we can’t help but tell others: “Come and see!” Our changed lives become powerful witnesses to His grace.

As you go through this week, let us be encouraged to reflect on our own “divine appointments.” Where is Jesus meeting you? What areas of thirst in your life need His living water? And who in your circle needs to hear about the hope you’ve found in Christ?
May you experience afresh the joy of knowing that the God of the universe knows everything about you and loves you completely.

The Gift – Easter 2026 | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Matthew 28 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the …

Today’s sermon explored the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the greatest gift of all time, examining Matthew 28 and the events surrounding that first Easter morning. We discovered how God’s …plan of redemption, spoken from Genesis through the prophets, culminated in Jesus conquering sin and death. The empty tomb stands as the defining moment that separates Christianity from every other religion and fills our lives with purpose, hope, and freedom from fear. This gift has profound implications for our spiritual life—transforming us from fearful, purposeless people into forgiven disciples with a mission to share the Good News with a broken world.

Takeaways:
– The resurrection is historically verified and undeniable. Jesus was publicly executed, buried in a guarded tomb with a Roman seal, yet His body vanished and He appeared to over 500 witnesses. His disciples, who initially fled in fear, were so transformed by seeing Him alive that they died for their faith in Him.
– We no longer need to fear death or hide from our past. Because Jesus rose from the dead, He crushed the power of sin and death. The empty tomb proves that forgiveness is available to all who repent and believe, filling the void in our souls that only our Creator can satisfy.
– Every believer is called to “Go with Purpose.” Jesus gave us the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations. Our purpose is not just to pray, but to know God personally, worship Him, and serve as vessels of honor—sharing His truth with every person whose soul is empty.

As we move forward from this Easter celebration, let us remember that we serve a living Savior. The tomb is empty. Death has lost its sting. And we have been given the incredible privilege of sharing this life-changing message with a world desperate for hope.
May the reality of the resurrection fill your heart with great joy this week.

A Memorable Event – Palm Sunday 2026 | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Luke 19 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the events of Palm Sunday through Luke 19, …

Today’s sermon explored the events of Palm Sunday through Luke 19, examining how Jesus fulfilled ancient prophecy by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. We witnessed three powerful aspects of …Christ’s character that day: His compassion as He wept over Jerusalem, His passion as He cleansed the temple, and His warning about the cost of rejecting Him. This memorable event calls us to examine our own response to Jesus—are we truly following Him wholeheartedly, or are we among those who praise Him one moment but turn away the next? The implications for our spiritual life are clear: Jesus went all in for us through His sacrifice, and He calls us to go all in for Him.

Takeaways:
– Jesus offers love, hope, and liberty in a broken world. Even when circumstances around us are unstable and discouraging, Christ remains our source of peace and restoration, inviting all who feel lost to come to Him for forgiveness and renewal.
– We must recognize the time of our visitation. Jerusalem missed their moment when the Messiah came. Today, we must not be blind to God’s work in our lives or reject His truth because it conflicts with cultural preferences or personal comfort.
– Halfhearted commitment is not an option. Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me.” We cannot remain neutral or uncommitted—either we are gathering with Christ and following His Word fully, or we are working against His purpose.

As we move toward Good Friday and Easter, let us not be fickle like the crowds who shouted “Hosanna” on Sunday and “Crucify Him” by Friday. Instead, may we respond to Christ’s total commitment to us with our own wholehearted devotion to Him.

Let’s join together this Friday from 12:00-1:00 PM for our Good Friday service, where we will take an in-depth look at Jesus’ death on the cross and share communion together.

Our Time Is Now | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Joel | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored how the ancient struggles Joel faced with …

Today’s sermon explored how the ancient struggles Joel faced with locust plagues mirror our modern battles with worldly distractions, personal sin, and spiritual warfare. Just as Joel called God’s people …to return wholeheartedly to the Lord, we are being called today to wake up, prepare ourselves to be used by God, and be ready to move in obedience. The message emphasized that we live in the most strategic time in history, positioned in a generation where multitudes stand in the valley of decision, and God desires to pour out His Spirit on all who will surrender to His purposes.

Takeaways:
– When Life is Hard, Remember Your Purpose: The gnawing, creeping, and stripping locusts represent the cares of this world, unchecked personal sin, and the enemy’s attempts to destroy us. Yet God promises to restore the years the locusts have eaten when we fully return to Him with our whole hearts.
– Prepare to be Used by Rending Your Heart: True preparation for God’s work begins with tearing open our hearts before Him, retreating back to our starting point with fasting, weeping, and genuine repentance. We cannot bore the Christian life with our lack of desire to fully serve the Lord—He calls us to be holy men and women proclaiming salvation to a dying world.
– Be Ready to Move in the Power of the Holy Spirit: God hasn’t called us to serve in the power of our own weakness but promises that His power is made perfect in our weakness. Whether through Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or Easter Sunday outreach, now is the time to invest in eternal souls, pointing others to Jesus who alone can bring hope in the midst of chaos.

As we approach this Easter season, let’s ask ourselves: Will we pray? Will we be available to share the hope of Jesus with those around us? Our mission field is only 36 inches away. Let’s not squander the greatest message of all humanity by keeping silent when multitudes stand in the valley of decision.

Our Spiritual Battle | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Ephesians 6:10-20 | Core Church LA

Today’s sermon explored the reality of spiritual warfare as outlined …

Today’s sermon explored the reality of spiritual warfare as outlined in Ephesians 6:10-20, reminding us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. …We examined how Satan’s mission is to steal, kill, and destroy, while Christ came to give us abundant life. The message emphasized that victory in this battle requires putting on the full armor of God and understanding that our true strength comes not from ourselves, but from the Lord. This has profound implications for our spiritual life—we cannot afford to be entangled with worldly affairs or rely on our own strength when facing an enemy who is far more cunning and powerful than we are.

Takeaways:
– Put on the Full Armor of God Daily: Each piece of spiritual armor serves a vital purpose—the belt of truth grounds us in God’s Word, the breastplate of righteousness protects our hearts, the shoes of the gospel prepare us to bring peace, the shield of faith extinguishes Satan’s attacks, the helmet of salvation guards our minds, and the sword of the Spirit (God’s Word) is our offensive weapon. We must intentionally clothe ourselves in this armor every day.
– Stand Firm and Separate from the World: God has called us to a higher standard—to come out from the world and be separate. Like soldiers in active service, we cannot allow ourselves to become so entangled with everyday affairs that we lose sight of our eternal mission. Any dead fish can float downstream, but God calls us to swim against the current and be a voice of reason in a confused world.
– Prayer is Our Ultimate Weapon: While all the armor is essential, prayer is the secret weapon that activates everything else. We are called to pray at all times, in all situations, bringing every care and concern to our Heavenly Father. Prayer is our constant conversation with God, and it’s through prayer that we tap into His eternal power to help us in our time of need.

As we move forward this week, let us be encouraged to examine your life honestly. Are you grounded in God’s truth? Are you living righteously? Are you sharing the gospel of peace? Are you walking in faith? Most importantly, are you praying without ceasing? The battle is real, but our God is greater, and He has equipped us with everything we need for victory.
