Power that points. Wonders that witness. Signs that reveal Jesus.

That's the thread running underneath everything we taught over the last five weeks in our Signs & Wonders collection. God's supernatural activity is never random. It confirms His word, reveals His character, validates His messengers, and ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Savior, and Son of God.

A wonder creates awe. A sign creates direction. Every miracle, every healing, every breakthrough carries a message beyond itself, and it's entirely possible to witness the miracle and miss the meaning. To receive the bread and ignore the Bread of Life. To admire the healing and reject the Healer.

This collection was an invitation: don't stop at what He did. Discover who He is. He is the God who still does miracles.

Week 01 — Accredited

Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Acts 2:22 — "Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know."

To be accredited means you've been officially recognized and validated by a higher authority, and nobody actually wants an unaccredited pilot, surgeon, or chiropractor working off “vibes.” Peter's point in Acts 2 is that Jesus wasn't self-appointed. God accredited Him through miracles, wonders, and signs. Not claims. Credentials.

Because the message landed on Mother's Day, Pastor Rich brought that idea home in an unexpected direction: a mother is a walking sign and a living wonder. From the math of conception to a body that reorganizes itself completely for nine months, motherhood carries its own kind of accreditation, not by a diploma, but by what a mother does in the hard moments. The message closed with a live testimony: Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.’s mom, Dr. Robyn Wilkerson, sharing how his brother Graham died in a hospital room as an infant, and what happened next had no medical explanation.

If God could raise a baby back to life on a hospital table, He hasn't forgotten about your family either.

Week 02 — You Thought You Knew

LT Lucas

Mark 6:50 — "Because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately, he spoke to them and said, 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.'"

• Refresh your faith, reset your expectations, refocus your attention. What God did is not all God will do.
• Yahweh, not your way: Jesus commanded the disciples into the boat. He didn't give them an option, because God knows that when we have options, we usually choose what we already know.
• "Take heart, it is I." In the original Greek, Ego Eimi, the same words God used at the burning bush. The God who parted the sea is the same God walking on top of it.

Week 03 — Supernatural Therapy

Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Acts 2:38 — "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Acts 2 says they were all filled, not visited, not influenced from a distance, but filled. Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. made the case that many of us have a closer working relationship with AI than with the Holy Spirit: we know how to prompt ChatGPT, but we're still learning how to pray. The Holy Spirit isn't a force or an atmosphere, He's a Person who can be grieved, which means He has real feelings about whether we engage Him or ignore Him.

The picture that anchored the message: your life is the Holy Spirit's living room. Some of us treat Him like a guest in the formal living room nobody's actually allowed to sit in, plastic on the furniture, vacuum lines in the carpet, look but don't touch, while entire rooms of our lives stay locked: our thought life, our finances, our pain, our secret sin. Sanctification isn't getting a bigger portion of the Spirit. It's opening more doors.

He also unpacked Parakletos, the Greek word for Counselor, as a legal term for a defense attorney who shows up when you're on trial. The Holy Spirit is the defense attorney who has never lost a case. When anxiety cross-examines you at 3 a.m., when shame makes its closing statement, He has the evidence that says otherwise.

Three ways to engage Him: repent (clean out what doesn't belong before He gets in), be still (He speaks in a still small voice, not over noise), and obey (His voice gets clearer through obedience, not just more information).

Week 04 — Deep In My Soul Instead

Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson

Luke 24:32 — "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked to us on the road and opened the scriptures to us?"

Two disciples walked the seven miles to Emmaus convinced the story was over. Jesus joined them on the road, and they didn't recognize Him, not because He was hidden, but because their expectations had grown bigger than their vision. It wasn't until He broke bread with them at the table that their eyes opened. Recognition didn't come from more evidence. It came from staying at the table. And once they saw Him, they didn't keep it to themselves, they got up immediately and ran back to Jerusalem to tell the others what they'd seen.

Week 05 — Better Late Than Never

Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

John 20:29 — "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Thomas's name is Aramaic for "Twin," and while we never learn who his actual twin was, there's a strong case that everyone carries one: a believer and a doubter living in the same person, the part that trusts God and the part that asks but what if He doesn't come through. When the other disciples told Thomas they'd seen the risen Jesus, he didn't fake belief. He said he wanted what they had, then drew a line: unless I touch the wounds myself, I won't believe.

The message built a case that runs all through Scripture: the problem was never the proof. The crowd that watched Lazarus walk out of his own tomb after four days split in response: some believed, some reported Jesus to the Pharisees. Same miracle, same evidence, divided hearts. Even at the ascension, watching Jesus rise into the sky with their own eyes, Scripture says "some doubted." More evidence has never been the fix for a guarded heart.

And here's the turn: when Jesus showed up a week later and offered Thomas exactly what he'd demanded, his finger in the nail marks, his hand in Jesus's side, Thomas never actually reaches out. He just says, "My Lord and my God." He asked for proof. Jesus gave him presence. And presence was enough.
