One of the most radical things you'll ever encounter is grace. God's grace in our lives change us, and that changes how we live. Join Pastor Noah Tyler as he discusses-- if you get grace, you give grace.  Looking at Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:13-14, and 1 Peter 4:8-10, we see how our grace-based relationship with God gives me a grace-based identity, which allows me to have grace-based...

Ever wish you never met someone one? That person's impact on your life is probably a net negative effect. A good friend has a good effect on you because Good Friends Are Good For You.  Join Pastor Noah Tyler as he walks us through Hebrews 3:12-13 and Hebrews 10:23-25. Here we see God's word expounding deep truths to people in hard circumstances-- and right in between are these teachings...

Can you die of loneliness? It turns out you can. God has designed us for friendship and for life. Join Pastor Noah Tyler as he works through John 15:14-15, learning from Jesus himself what it means to be a friend.  As we talk about relationships, we pay attention to 4 relationship convictions that govern healthy relationships: 1) I am worth knowing, 2) You are worth knowing, 3) I accept the risk o...

Easter is a day to remember God's plan to break the curse that "all good things must come to an end." When Jesus came back to life, he made a way for us to come to God. Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through Acts 17:22-24, showing how Paul answers one of life's hardest questions with the resurrection-- How can we find life that will last? You can find life in Jesus!

What if you were standing on the edge of something big-- something really big-- and you missed it? Actually, what if we are missing a lot of big opportunities because we are focusing on the wrong priorities? Pastor Noah looks 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 to learn about King David's prayer and the Christian history of ending The Lord's Prayer with "For yours in the Kingdom, the power, the g...

We need protection, but we also need the testing that will grow us. But those are the very things that Satan and our own sin will use to tempt us toward evil.  Looking at Matthew 6:13, Pastor Noah Tyler explains our cry out to God for protection against what we can't handle in this world. We need to ask for protection that leads to our perfection.  Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together...

Forgiveness is important enough that Jesus wanted us to include in the way we pray. A lack of forgiveness is like a flesh-eating bacteria we store away in our hearts. Pastor Noah Tyler talks about the three parts of forgiveness: releasing, reconciling, restoration-- and the blessing that lies on the other side of it.  Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together.

When we are dependent on others we can begin to feel unsafe, but Jesus teaches us to come to God for even the bread we need today. While it seems scary and unnatural, Jesus teaches us something surprising: Daily Desperate Dependence on God Produces Peace. Pastor Noah Tyler walks the Westmark Family through some of the implications of praying "give us today our daily bread." The challenge...

What does it mean to win in life? Jesus calls us to do something so unnatural for us, we are immediately opposed to it-- asking God for him to win, even when it means we need to lose.  The life-changing hard truth is that your biggest wins come from losing to God. What does it look like for you to stop wrestling with God and experience victory through losing to God?  Westmark Church is a Family Gr...

Why is it difficult to talk to God sometimes? How are we supposed to relate to God? Jesus invites us to see God as our Father, and if we do-- we will want to see His name hallowed in all the world.  Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together.

The most rewarding relationships you have are rewarding because you trust the other person enough to be yourself. Yet, in our relationship with God, how often do we struggle to be real? Many of us go through the motions and are either performing or forcing our religious actions, when the reward is found by coming to God in honest, humble faith.  Join us as we kick off our sermon series, The Lord&a...

Pastor Ryan Thies walks us through the book of Philemon, showing us the call to restoration and forgiveness.  Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together.

Scott Ford walks us through Colossians 4:2-18, taking a historical look at the characters that Paul mentions in his letter. If Christ was good enough for all these people to focus their lives on him, what does that mean for you? Who are the people surrounding you? What are you banking on for your life?

We will all be drawn to the things we think will give us life. But as we look at Colossians 3:1-11, Pastor Noah Tyler asks us to consider our path forward.

You want to grow. Everyone does. But how do you grow?  Walk with Pastor Noah Tyler through Colossians 2:6-23 and hear the warning to protect yourself so you can grow.  So, don't forget your roots.

What exactly is makes a good day a good day? Today, reading through Colossians 1:24-2:5,  the Bible is teaches us how we have need someone strong to trust in and a hope big enough to hope for.  While there are so many other things to distract us from it, the real hope is to reach glory, and the only way to do that is through the mystery of Christ in you. Is that a mystery that you have experienced...
