Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 19, 2019 Text: Matthew 27:51-66 There's something we all share, our love of access. This Good Friday message unpacks the access granted to all people by way of Jesus' work on the cross.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: April 14, 2019 Text: Matthew 27:27-50 On this Palm Sunday we take time to notice four characteristics of Jesus in the lead up to the cross: what type of King was Jesus, what kind of power did He display, what kind of trust did He hold and how did He secure our salvation?

Speaker: Aaron Boswell Date: April 7, 2019 Text: Matthew 27:15-26 In this sermon, we follow one of the themes that we have been tracing throughout the book of Matthew (the envy of the religious leaders towards Jesus) to its final conclusion as demonstrated through Jesus' trial before Pilate. In so doing, we see both a warning and an invitation for us, today, culminating in our final question:...

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: March 31, 2019 Text: Matthew 27:1-10 There is a beautiful tragedy tucked away in these verses that leaves us with a profoundly important question. How is it that Judas, who walked with Jesus for three years, was unable to find restoration after his sin? How is it that his grief over sin lead to death instead of life? And how do we guard ourselves against the same thing?...

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: March 24, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:69-75 Next to Jesus the disciples took their cues from Peter. He was a born leader: strong, courageous, and had the will to back it up. But on the night of Jesus' arrest and trial Peter turned on Jesus. He denied ever even knowing Him. How could this happen? How could such a strong man fall so completely? In this sermon, we will see h...

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: March 17, 2019 Text: Hebrews 10-12 How do we move from domesticated and safe to expectant and faithful in our journey of faith? We address that question in depth in this message coming out of Hebrews 10-12.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: March 10, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:57-68 In this sermon we will focus on the events immediately following the surrender of Jesus to His Father in the garden. We will watch as the power of darkness rages against him. We'll see the crimes of passion committed against Him. We listen to the sound of His silence as He stood trial. And we will examine ourselves for the theat...

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: February 17, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:30-35 Why did the disciples all flee from Jesus on the night of His arrest and what can we learn from them to help in our moments of testing? And most importantly, what are we to know of Jesus in those moments of failure? That's what this sermon addresses.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: February 10, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:26-29 In this sermon we will unpack what Jesus meant when, at the last supper, He said the bread was His body and the wine, His blood. What did He mean by all of that? And how are we supposed to eat and live out the communion meal today?

Speaker: Josh Dool Date: February 3, 2019 Text: Missions Sunday This week we will take a look at how 'Making Jesus Known' is not just the mission statement of Westside, but the purpose and mission for all of humanity and even God himself. We'll see how the plan of God from before the world began was to reveal himself through Christ, and how we can more faithfully engage in the missi...

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: January 27, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:17-25 As we continue Jesus' walk toward the cross we'll take some time to slow down in the upper room during the last supper. What can we learn about our own hearts and lives as Jesus' disciples are confronted by the sin of Judas?

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: January 20, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:6-16 In this message we drop in and witness the extravagant display of Mary's love for Jesus and show how Judas betrayal of Jesus serves as a harsh contrast to her.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: January 13, 2019 Text: Matthew 26:1-5 In this sermon we will set the stage for the last three chapters of Matthew. We'll look at four unmistakable realities of Jesus that make our total surrender to Him vital for any who want to experience life in Him.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: January 6, 2019 Text: Isaiah 57:15 In this sermon we will kick off the new year with a look at the biblical concept of revival. What does revival mean? Why should we care about it? And how can we experience it personally and as a church?

Speaker: Joseph Peterson Date: December 30, 2018 Text: Psalm 73 How do we become a community of contentment in a culture of consumerism and discontentment? We do this by looking to our King and his vision for the Kingdom of God.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: December 24, 2018 Text: Isaiah 6:1-7 As we finish off this Advent Series we look at the final name of the Messiah Jesus and ask: how can Jesus be called the Prince of Peace when there seems to be such little peace in the world?

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: December 23, 2018 Text: Isaiah 6:1-7 In this sermon we will look at the third title for Jesus found in Isaiah 9:6 -- Everlasting Father. What does it mean that Jesus is Everlasting Father? And if He is, how should we feel about approaching Him?

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: December 16, 2018 Text: Isaiah 6:1-7 In this second of four Advent messages coming out of Isaiah 9:6 we look at the name Almighty God and consider how Jesus could be both God and man and what the implications of that are for us.

Speaker: Norm Funk Date: Nov 18, 2018 Text: Job 1:13 - 2:10 In this sermon we begin a three-part journey into the heated topic that comes with the presence of evil and the supreme rule of God.

Speaker: Matt Menzel Date: Nov 11, 2018 Text: Job 1:1-12 In this sermon we will begin an examination of the life of Job. More specifically, we'll focus on the conversation that God has with Satan as a back drop to the events recorded for us from Job's life. How are we to understand the person and work of Satan in our world? What's at stake as he disguises himself to deceive? How can...
