Welcome to Westside King's Church   Have other questions you would like to see addressed in the podcast? You can email your questions to podcast@wkc.org   We have recently started a teaching series in our Sunday services around how the Holy Spirit works in our lives and the world around us, which leads to a big question. Who is the Holy Spirit? How does He work? Is the Holy Spirit still...

David in week one of our new series talks about the day of Pentecost and how some of the symbol and imagery on that day helps us understand some of what the Holy Spirit does.

Over this past weekend there was a lot of discussion raised around "can women preach?" "Is it biblical?" and many more questions due to a church service ordaining women for the first time in their history.    Join David and Tyson as they wrestle through the  biblical narrative around women as leaders, preachers, pastors, elders, or any other leadership position.    Have ot...

Over the course of the series various questions have been raised as we continue to wrestle what it means for us to think more biblically about the resurrection and how it affets us here and now. Bobby and David work through some of the questions we have been sent throughout the series.

You can email your questions to podcast@wkc.org   Have you ever wondered where the rapture is found in scripture? Is it a real idea we should take seriously? What about books and movies like "Left Behind" and "Thief in the Night" that have shaped this idea?    Join David and...

If we pay attention to how the Bible talks about resurrection, then we will see that resurrection is closely linked to ideas of Justice - how does it look to think about justice issues through a sense of resurrection. Will it change our notions of evangelism, salvation, and mission?

You can email your questions to podcast@wkc.org   Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about hell? Is it a real place? Do people really go there forever? Is it a big "lake of fire"? These questions and more are wrestled through in today's podcast   Join David and Tyson as th...

Misreading the trajectory of Christian hope often means that we assume our “aim” is to get away from earth, when the biblical message about resurrection and Christian future is about “on earth as it is in heaven”. A healthy Christian Theology involves looking beyond “what happens when I die” to rather ask “what happens when God restores all things”?

Welcome to Westside King's Church  Have other questions you would like to see addressed in the podcast? You can email your questions to podcast@wkc.org   Have you ever wondered about the historical evidence and accuracy of the Resurrection? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Wouldn't science suggest that people don't come back to life?    Join David and Tyson as the wrestle t...

Non-christian ideas of “Heaven and Hell” have influenced Christians to think about these ideas more than Resurrection. We need to explore what is meant by resurrection in the Bible and how it connects to God’s ideas of justice and putting the world right again. Many theologies of “afterlife” don’t conquer death, but rather just side-step it. When Christians have a bad view of “life after death” it...

There is lots of confusion amongst Christians (and the wider world) about what happens after we die.  Evidenced in shows like “the good place” and “Upload” we see the common idea of a disembodied “soul” future that is worked out on the basis of merit in a “different” place.  This is despite the New Testament offering a clear picture of what God intends for the future in the Empty Tomb. T...

How did Jesus dying actually change things? What about different views like Penal Substitution or Christus Victor? Which is the right view? Is one view the only way to understand the cross? &nbs...

Welcome to Westside King's Church  Have other questions you would like to see addressed in the podcast? You can email your questions to info@wkc.org   What is Tithing? Does the Bible affirm it? What does Jesus have to say about it?   The theology of grace and what is known as "Tithing" are not what Jesus had in mind. Discover in this episode of "Did Jesus Really Mean That" what...

What happens when we have preconceived expectations of how we think things are supposed to work. The big question of the sermon is "Is that actually how Jesus works?" 

Can our understanding of grace actually support a theology known as the "Prosperity Gospel". Join David and Tyson as they continue to discuss how Jesus defines wealth for our lives and what it means to "not store up your treasures on earth where moth and rust detroy..." 

David explore the difference between Compassion and Numbness as he concludes our Edge of the City teaching series. 

How would Jesus define wealth? And how does grace play a part in shaping our mindset around wealth and scarcity? Listen below to find out!

How does the church "seek wholeness" for its city? How do we as individuals do the same?

The role of prophet in the Bible was never an easy one. Perhaps it went something like this: don’t be so involved in city life that you forget what God called you to, but don't be so distant from the city that they forget who you are. Simply put, the art of the prophetic calling was to live at the edge of the city, to perform the delicate balance of being both engaged but different, relevant but c...

Do we have enough? How do we change our perspective on what we have and what we can give?

Are we Blessed? The answer to that is obvious, but what if it’s not the question that the Bible wants us to ask?

How can we be present to the world in a way that helps?

Is there a connection between our sexuality and our spirituality?
