Sermon Summary — "You Have to Be Like a Child" Preached by Sister Ty | Warsaw International Church | May 31, 2026 Scripture: Luke 18:15–17 Core Message Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it like a little child. Sister Ty unpacked what that actually looks like for adults — not just being innocent or cute, but genuinely adopting the posture and character of a child toward God as Father. Key Points Dependence — Children rely entirely on their parents. We need to cut our roots of self-sufficiency and become dependent on God. Hunger & Thirst — Kids ask for food and water constantly. We should be the same with God — seeking him daily, not just at monthly communion (John 6, John 4). Provision — A good father clothes and provides for his kids (Luke 12). God is t...

Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Sister Renata with the title “Bible Bee” (Judges 4:1-16; Mark 16:1-8) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel:   My dear Sisters (Brothers also). One of our Sisters inspired me, some days ago, when she mentioned a lady from the Old Testament Book of Judges: Deborah. Only two chapters speak of her, and frankly it’s the same story, in prose and as a poem. She was the fourth judge of Israel, and the only woman in this position, ever. She was also a political and a military leader, and more importantly, she was a prophetess of the Lord.             We don’t know much about the private life of Deborah. She had a husband called Lappidoth, and probably also children, as an ordinary Jewish woman. To my mind, she was a middle-aged woman rather than a young lady, because in ancient times old age was more connected with wisdom and respect than it is now. I i...

   Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Pastor Harry on “The Power Of A Testimony” (Romans 10:14-17) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel: We often treat our personal story as the least impressive thing we have to offer. Theology feels weightier. Doctrine feels more credible. A carefully reasoned argument feels more persuasive. And so we hold our testimony back — unsure of its value, embarrassed by its ordinariness, convinced that what happened to us isn't significant enough to share. But what if that instinct is exactly wrong? Scripture suggests that a testimony — a simple account of what God has done — is one of the most powerful forces in the Kingdom. Not because of who is telling it, but precisely because of who it points to. Three figures from the Gospels show us just how far a single story can travel, and just how much damage it can do to the kingdom of darkness. The Woman at the Well: When the Wrong Person Carries the Right Word I...

  Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Pastor Harry on “Elected To Serve” (2 Timothy 2:1-10) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel: Dear Friends, when we look at all the strange developments happening around us, and the sometimes bizarre ways in which people behave, we might well ask ourselves: “what decides that some people are saved, but others aren’t”? Because there are many people around who do the most stupid things and say the most foolish words, and they don’t even feel bad or ashamed about it. The Bible has a simple explanation for this – but it’s one that not many people accept. In fact, a lot of people hate it; because they think they need to have a hand in their own salvation. The Bible tells us we’re all terrible sinners – we surely sin many times a day, if we’re completely honest. And as we read our Bibles, we learn that we’re helpless and can’t save ourselves. Only God can save us. And because He’s a sovereign God, He does entire...

Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Pastor Harry on “Fearing God” (Luke 23:32-33 and 39-43; Luke 18:9-14; Acts 5:1-11) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel: Today’s topic was suggested by the frustration I feel when talking to people who think that, just because God is good, loving and forgiving, He’ll simply forgive them for all they’ve done while they were still alive. They themselves seem to brush off all their sins and unbelief, as if it were nothing, and they expect God to do the same when they die. They usually have some familiarity with the basic teachings of Christianity – especially Catholics, who learn about them in their Catholic religious education lessons and schools – but they really have no idea why Jesus had to die on the cross, and what it has to do with them personally. They just take God’s forgiveness for granted, as if they were entitled to it. They have no fear of the Lord.   Now, by fear, I don’t mean you have to be...

Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Brother Kevin on “Accountable Before God” (2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 1:18-25) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel: There is a verse in the book of Hebrews that has a way of stopping you in your tracks. "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13). It is not a comfortable verse. But it is an important one — because it reminds us that our walk with God is not a private arrangement we can manage on our own terms. We are accountable. And that accountability touches three areas of our lives more deeply than we might expect. We Are Accountable in Our Relationship with God God does not want a passive audience. He wants an active participant — a partner in relationship. And like any relationship, this one requires both sides to show up. The truth is, God shows up every Sunday. He comes to ...

Last Sunday’s sermon was preached by Pastor Harry on “Revival Under Ezra” (Jeremiah 29:10-14; Ezra 1:1-5; Nehemiah 8:1-3 and 9-10; Nehemiah 9:1-3 and 5) . The sermon and the whole service can be watched on our WIC YouTube Channel: The prophet Jeremiah was right! In the very year that he died (586 BC), the Jewish nation was conquered by the Babylonians, who took the Jews to Babylon in captivity as slaves. Jeremiah says the Babylonian Captivity will last 70 years – and it seems to have indeed lasted that long, until the Persians (today’s Iranians – definitely a great civilisation historically) conquered the Babylonians, and the Persian leader Cyrus became emperor of a vast territory.   Cyrus was a pagan – but look how the Lord used him! He turned out to be exceedingly tolerant towards the Jews in Babylonia, and in fact urges them to return to their homeland, rebuild Jerusalem which had been totally devastated, and even rebuild their Temple, so they can worship their God again. So...
