After the Sermon: Philippians 4:6-7 by West Hills Church

We live in a world where stress is constant, pressure is unrelenting, and noise fills nearly every corner of our lives. For many, worry has become a daily companion, something we carry into our relationships, our work, our homes, and even our sleep. It’s no surprise that anxiety has become one of the most universal human experiences of our time. Long before modern culture named anxiety, Scripture...

Ask the Pastors Season 7 Episode 10: "How sinful is gluttony?" by West Hills Church

After the Sermon: John 17:6-19 by West Hills Church

Never in the history of humanity have more people had more access to more information than we do today. And yet never have we been bombarded with more misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies. Surrounded by so much confusion, it’s no wonder that two-thirds of Americans today believe there is no such thing as absolute truth (Barna, “American Worldview Inventory 2025”, May 2025). But this c...

Ask the Pastors Season 7 Episode 9: "What is this '6 7' thing about and should Christians care?" by West Hills Church

After the Sermon: Galatians 6:11-18 by West Hills Church

As we wrap up Paul’s letter to the Galatians this Sunday, there is one message he wants to leave ringing in our ears and hearts: It’s all about the gospel. Not circumcision (v12), not keeping the law (v13), not what we have done for God (v13), but rather what He has done for us by sending His Son Jesus to die for our sins. As Paul concludes, “far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our L...

Ask the Pastors S7 E8: "Should Christians choose public, private, or home school?" by West Hills Church

After the Sermon: Galatians 5:25-6:10 by West Hills Church

As we near the end of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he offers us some (almost) final commendations. Having already exhorted us how we are to “use our freedom” (v13) personally - “walk by the Spirit” (v16) - as well as interpersonally in a more general sense - “through love serve one another” (v13) - Paul now gets specific about what loving service looks like in the context of gospel community. J...

Ask the Pastors S7 E7: “Is sports betting a sin?" by West Hills Church

After the Sermon: Galatians 5:19-25 by West Hills Church

Recently in our walk through the book of Galatians, we have celebrated the freedom we now enjoy as followers of Jesus (“Christ has set us free!”; 5:1). The apostle Paul explained what we’ve been freed for (“for freedom”; 5:1), what we’ve been freed from (we are no enslaved to the “desires of the flesh”; 5:17), and what we’ve been freed by (“for through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of...

Ask the Pastors S7 E6: “How has the Word of Faith movement influenced evangelical churches today?” by West Hills Church

After the Sermon: Galatians 5:13-25 by West Hills Church

Last week in our walk through the book of Galatians, we celebrated the freedom we now enjoy as followers of Jesus (“Christ has set us free!”; 5:1). The apostle Paul explained what we’ve been freed for (“for freedom”; 5:1), what we’ve been freed from (we are no longer “obligated to keep the whole law”; 5:3), and what we’ve been freed by (“for through the Spirit, by faith… in Christ Jesus neither ci...

After the Sermon: Galatians 5:1-15 by West Hills Church

The young Christians in Galatia started their Christian life well. They were walking in the freedom of God's grace. After hearing anti-Christian teachings, they were prone to turn towards a works righteousness. Because of our sinful nature, we are still prone to legalism and licentiousness and lose the very freedom Christ died to secure for us. In this sermon, we see how Christ has given us his Sp...

This conversation was the second part of a discussion where the pastors explained the reasoning behind the structure of their corporate worship service. They began by discussing the introduction of the Pastoral Prayer, detailing its purpose and structure. The conversation then moved to the sermon, covering topics such as its ideal length, the practice of standing for the reading of scripture, and...

After the Sermon: Galatians 4:20-31 by West Hills Church

Our lives are filled with choices. Paper or plastic? Cash or credit? “Round up for college” or feel guilty for not rounding up? And that’s all just the grocery store checkout line! But of all the choices we face, perhaps none is more important than this one: religion (for God) or relationship (with God)? LAW (striving to please God with my obedience) or GRACE (resting in God’s pleasure through Chr...

After the Sermon: Galatians 4:8-19 by West Hills Church

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!” (2 Cor 5:17) At least that’s how God now sees us. But how we actually live? Sometimes that’s another story. The apostle Paul was no stranger to this tension. In Romans 7 he confessed, “ I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in [me] another law waging war against the law of my mind...

Ask the Pastors S7 E4: "Why do we corporately worship the way that we do? (pt.1)” by West Hills Church
