Westside Christian Church - Sunday Messages

Worship Pastor, Lane Parnell, delivers a powerful message about laments in the Psalms. God wants us to trust in him and come to him for our every need. As we lament, we we see present our grief and sorrow to God. His faithfulness leads us to trust in God.

Prosperity of this world looks different when you choose to follow Jesus. Rest looks different when you choose to call yourself a Christian. Jesus came to serve and calls us to action as his followers. As we serve others we show His love and live a prosperous life. (Proverbs 11:25)

This message explores the freedom of forgiveness found in Psalms 32. David rejoices because of his forgiveness and invites others to return to God. Unforgiveness is something many of us carry around. God calls us to forgive as he forgave in love.

God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always present. Psalm 139 shares these traits of God and challenges each of us to submit to God. To take our place in God's creation and allow God to lead us to freedom. God knows everything about us and has known us before we were ever created. He knits us together in our mothers womb and knows our every step. Yet he loves us.

We all need friends. Proverb 27:17 tells us that iron sharpens iron and we as people should make each other better. This means friends are an important part of God's kingdom and our growth as followers of Christ. Kingdom friendships are special relationships that Pastor Matt Ennis calls Iron Work Friends.

Cameron Robertson, Youth Pastor, shares a message about Proverbs 3 and the faithfulness of God. We are reminded that we must become less and Christ must become more as we are obedient to God. His promise is to be faithful and lead us.

Through Jesus Christ, God has victory over the enemy, forever. In His victory, He invites us to join Him. Through Jesus Christ we too can experience the victory of the cross and empty tomb. In Jesus we have been saved and he will return to judge the Earth. Psalm 98 calls us to join all creation in celebration of praise for God's faithfulness and mighty power.

Psalms 91 tells of God's faithfulness of protection for us. In the Psalm we see that what God wants most for us to love him. Love is shown through our trust. When danger comes, God wants us to place out trust fully in him.

This Father's Day we look to the Bible for an example of Godly man and father. On the pages of Acts 10 we find a character whose willingness to be a courageous leader plays a significant role in the spreading of the gospel to His home and beyond.

The Kingdom of God is different than the world we live in. In this message we explore the significance of Jesus overturning the tables in temple followed by His healing of the lame and blind. Jesus came so that we all may be free through Him. God wants us let go of the ways of the world and cling to Him. This unfiltered faith is seen in the love and truth children show for Jesus.

In the conclusion of this series about David, we look at David succumbing to sin and his response with God. In his actions we learn how God wants us to respond to him. He wants us to come back. (2 Samual 12)

David's journey to being the king of Israel was a long and windy road. David never lost his focus on God and His role in lifting David into leadership. God says that David is a man after his own heart. In this message we will explore the king and his relationship with God. (2 Samuel 7)

Wishing all of the moms and those who love like a mom, a very happy Mother's Day. In today's special message we look at God's love. The Bible uses many terms for love, but the love that embodies God is agape. We see the description of God's love through Pauls letter to the church in Corinth. (1 Corinthians 13:1-8a).

In the conclusion of the the Thrive series, we look at the Great Commission and hear from members of our church who have served as missionaries this year. Our faith requires action that is focused on others. In doing this Jesus reaffirms God's great promise to be with us.

We all have hurts, hang ups, and habits that get in the way of the freedom Jesus has called us to. In this message, we share the truth of the freedom we are to experience because of Jesus. We are challenged to break the chains and dump the weight of our hurts, habits, and hang ups. We all need recovery. Westside Christian Church is excited to launch Celebrate Recovery as a discipleship program to...

Money is one of those subjects that can be uncomfortable. Jesus spoke about the hold money can have on our lives. He wants us to thrive in him and find freedom in following Jesus. Breaking the bond money has on our lives allows us truly thrive. We do this by shifting our focus from money to generosity. After all, our God is generous and give us the gift of Jesus Christ.

This second message in the Thrive series explores salvation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are all called to use the gifts God has given us to glorify His kingdom. As we grow in our walk we are like a blooming flower and blossom. In this, we Thrive in Jesus.

In the final message of the Easter People series we find ourselves at the empty tomb on Easter Day. In this message Pastor Matt shares about God's power of rest and and conquerer of all. We explore the powerful name of Jesus and His impact on transforming our lives.
