26 West Church: Audio Podcast

Luke 14v1-24 Jesus uses a dinner invitation as an opportunity to teach about humility and the way we view others. The Kingdom of God is like a great banquet that all are invited to. Will we be there? And who are we bringing with us? Taught by Ryan Doucet

Luke 13v1-9   The parable of the Barren Fig Tree evokes a sense of urgency and presses the listener to repent, but what does true repentance look like? And how exactly does repentance lead to “bearing fruit?"   Taught by Ryan Doucet

Luke 12v13-21   Greed is fueled by a small view of God.  Greed is fought by generosity towards others.   Taught by Jose Zayas

Luke 11v1-13 The disciples ask Jesus for a lesson on prayer, but what they really need is a deeper understanding of Who they’re praying to. Our image of God will radically shape how we pray to God, so the question is, do you know who you're talking to? Taught by Stephen Collins

Luke 10v25-37 There is a world of difference between knowing the "right answers" about what the Bible says vs. doing what the Bible says. This most famous parable calls us to move beyond theoretical knowledge of Scripture to active, sacrificial love, exemplified by the Good Samaritan--the question is will we answer the call?  Taught by Stephen Collins

On this Father's Day we kick off a new summer series looking at a story about two lost brothers, a gracious father, and a simple question--will you come home? Luke 15v11-32 Taught by Stephen Collins

Paul describes the life of a missionary as a race.  We are all missionaries.  We are all called to run with passion and purpose.  What does it look like to live on mission today? Taught by Jose Zayas

Just because you have the right to something doesn’t mean you should exercise it.  The way of Jesus includes choosing love over rights. Taught By Jose Zayas

When we say the word “God” what do we mean?  In this teaching we explore a biblical theology of “God” and what that means as we share the Good News in our diverse and eclectic city.   Taught by Jose Zayas

Pastor Jacob Bloemberg leads Hanoi International Fellowship in Vietnam.   

We live in a world filled with endless distractions.  What does it look like to live with an undivided devotion to the Lord? Taught by Jose Zayas

Paul answers life questions and concludes that Jesus is more important that any life status or circumstance. Taught by Steve Marshman

Starting in chapter 7, Paul turns to answering honest questions the church had about following Jesus in their different stages of life. We find practical wisdom for the married, single, divorced, and widowed.  We can live faithful to Jesus where we are. Taught By Jose Zayas

In 1 Cor. 6v12-20, Paul talks about the importance of our physical body. We are the embodiment of Jesus to the world and what we do with our bodies affects this. Ultimately, our bodies are part of the Gospel, bought with a price and promised to be raised again. Taught by Ryan Doucet 

Paul gives both a strong warning and a beautiful promise.  Entering into the kingdom of God isn’t automatic.  But all who repent and believe are “washed, sanctified, and justified.” Taught by Jose Zayas

We’re looking at another area where the church has lost its way and forgotten who it is—in this lawsuit between believers. Identity leads to activity, behavior follows belief. In today’s text we find 3 areas where Paul reminds the church of our identity, so we can live in alignment with it today. Taught by Stephen Collins

John 20v24-31   Jesus still bears the scars of His suffering, even after His resurrection. What does that tell us about God?   Taught by Jose Zayas

Matthew 21v1-17 Holy Week begins with Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey with a crowd of spontaneous praise.     Taught By Jose Zayas

How do we engage in conversations about gender with a biblical worldview? Taught by Jose Zayas  (Some audio "echo" problems in the first 10 minutes of the podcast.  Audio clears up at 12:12)

There is a world of difference in comprehending a vision of Biblical sexuality, marriage, and sexual immorality versus actually living this vision out. World of a difference between knowing it and living it. So, how do we live out this Biblical vision of sexuality? How do we walk in sexual integrity for God’s glory, our joy, and the good of others? Selected Scriptures Taught by Stephen Collins

John 4 How did Jesus approach people who lived differently?  How do Jesus followers navigate differences in healthy ways? And what about specific questions on how to live this out?   Taught By Jose Zayas  

What do the Scriptures teach? Taught by Jose Zayas

What do the Scriptures teach us about Sexual Immorality? What are the dangers and how can we find hope in this area of life as followers of Jesus?

What is marriage, according to the Scriptures? And how do we live with a biblical view in a culture that often does not?

How do we live out the way of Jesus together as a church when it comes to human sexuality? When a Jesus follower steps out of the bounds of Scripture, what do we do? How do we live out a biblical worldview in a world saturated with competing worldviews?
