SunWest Church Weekly Sermon Podcast

When you squeeze a fruit you get… juice! If you squeeze an orange you get… orange juice! If you squeeze a mango you get… mango juice! You get the point. But what happens in your life when you’re squeezed? How does that juice affect the relationships with those around you? There are different fruits that produce different results in our lives. What we produce when we’re squeezed has a significant i...

Gentleness… is a strong hand with a soft touch. In a world of harsh critics, jaded opinions, and abrasive personalities, how are we to be gentle in a rough and tough society? Gentleness is a byproduct of being controlled by the Holy Spirit, it is strength under control. Let us explore together how gentleness breaks down rigid defences and can be one of our greatest witnesses to unbelievers.

Happiness… is something we all want. It’s something we are all chasing. But do you ever feel like you can’t quite catch it? Jesus invites us to quit trying to catch happiness and to receive joy. We’ll take a look at the difference between the two, and how to trade the unproductive pursuit of happiness for a life marked by joy.

The word "prodigal" means: spending money or resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant; having or giving something on a lavish scale. There is a famous story in the Bible called the Prodigal Son. Yet this story is actually about a Prodigal Father. The two sons in the story represent two different groups of people that are equally lost and in desperate need of a Prodigal Father. Which...

Doors closed. Drive in and out of garage. Blinds closed. This is the privatization of our suburban lives. Have we lost the art of neighbouring? Who is your neighbour? What does it look like to move beyond the doors and garages into relationships with those we are physically close to but relationally distant from?  Let’s rediscover the Art of Neighbouring.

The Bible refers to God as Father regularly. The Bible also uses many other titles for God. Out of all the different titles, Mother is not one we usually associate with God or use to describe God.

How have the women in our lives shaped our understanding of...

This has some very pragmatic steps, and this Sunday we are taking a significant faith step into that future reality by launching our Capital Campaign for the purchase of a building in Midnapore. Come join us for our “All In” Sunday as we kick off a two week campaign period that will conclude on April 22nd....

Easter is the highpoint of the Christian calendar. There is nothing more significant, and potentially altering for people than Easter. Let’s explore together, the implications of Jesus’ death and more importantly, resurrection for us and for the church. If Jesus rose from the dead, then…?
