Westside Church Northwest Podcast

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth asking an important question: Do we really know our history? In this message, we take a biblical and historical look at the foundations of our nation, exploring the role Scripture, prayer, and faith played in the lives of many of America's founders. We also examine why remembering history matters and how forgetting it can shape...

In Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Revelation, we discover a powerful truth: the love of Christ doesn't leave us where we are. It lovingly calls us closer through correction.  Each church received something different from Jesus. Some were encouraged. Some were challenged. Some were corrected. But every message flowed from the same heart—a Savior who deeply loves His people and de...

What does real faith look like, and how do we walk in it every day? In this message, we dive deeper into what faith is, how it comes, and why it must be released in order to produce results in our lives. Discover the two pillars that support biblical faith: knowing God's promises and trusting God's character. When we understand both, we can stand confidently on His Word regardless of wha...

Discover what it means to be “taught by God” to love one another, why we must increase more and more in love, and the practical power of love in everyday life. Key Truths: • Love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8) — it forgives, restores, and refuses to broadcast the failures of others. • Love edifies and builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1) — it encourages, celebrates others’ wins, and speaks life...

What are you planting in the soil of your heart? In this special Women's Night message, we explore Jesus' Parable of the Sower and discover a powerful truth: The Word of God is seed, and our hearts are the soil. If you've ever felt stuck, wondered why breakthrough hasn't come, or asked, "Why doesn't it feel like this is working?" this message offers practical enc...

Discover what faith truly is (a firm persuasion and conviction based on God’s Word), how faith comes by hearing and believing the Word, why it must be fed and released, and how to let it lead every area of your life. Learn from the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8), the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5), Abraham’s unwavering faith, and Jesus’ ministry of healing and teaching. This message will ch...

Love isn't just something we say. Love gives. Love is a life that is willing to give, serve, sacrifice, and put others first. The love of God was never meant to stay contained within us—it was meant to flow through us. Throughout Scripture, we see that God's love is demonstrated through giving. God gave His Son. Jesus gave Himself. And as followers of Christ, we're called to reflect...

Faith isn't wishful thinking. Faith isn't pretending problems don't exist. And faith isn't something reserved for a few "super Christians." Faith is trusting that God is exactly who He says He is—and that He will do what He promised to do. In this message, we explore what biblical faith actually looks like and why it matters in every area of our lives. From salvation...

What do you love most? Not what you say you love. Not what you intend to love. What actually gets your time, your attention, your affection, and your priorities? In this fourth message of the Love Is the Way series, we take an honest look at Jesus' words and the challenge they present to every believer: Is God truly first in our lives? It's easy to say we love God. The harder question is...

Forgiveness isn't a feeling. It's a choice. Jesus commanded us to love one another as He loved us. But what happens when we've been deeply hurt? What happens when the offense feels justified? What happens when the person who wronged us doesn't deserve forgiveness? The truth is, forgiveness isn't based on what others deserve. It's based on what Christ has already done...

The Holy Spirit is not a thing of the past. He is a person. And He is alive, active, moving, and available today. On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the birth of the Church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2—but this isn’t just history. This message is a bold reminder that the same Spirit poured out 2,000 years ago is still empowering believers right now. Too many Christians are trying...

In this continuation of the “Love Is The Way” series, discover how walking in love is not just a suggestion—it’s the key that unlocks the blessings, healing, provision, and protection God promised His people. From the Old Covenant promises of healing and fruitfulness to the New Covenant reality in Christ, Pastor Cory shows how love is the foundation that makes faith work and brings the fullness of...

Sometimes life leaves you tired, anxious, overwhelmed, or wondering if you’re ever going to feel whole again. But Psalm 23 reminds us of this powerful truth: The Lord is our Shepherd. In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Cody Tobin walks through Psalm 23 verse by verse, revealing the goodness, protection, peace, and healing that come from staying close to the Shepherd. This isn’t just a familia...

God doesn’t just love you… He loves you the same way He loves Jesus. That truth alone has the power to change everything. In this message, we dive into what it really means to believe the love of God—not just as a concept, but as a reality that heals, restores, and transforms your life from the inside out. Because when you truly understand: “I am loved by God” …it changes how you think, how you re...

What would change if you knew Jesus was coming back tomorrow? Would you pray more? Speak more? Step out more? This message is a direct, honest call to stop living passively and start walking in bold, obedient faith. Boldness isn’t about personality. It’s not about being loud or confident in yourself. It’s about being willing to say yes to God—even when it’s uncomfortable. From Gideon to Noah to Jo...

God is not looking for spectators. He’s looking for people who will step into the fight. Too many are okay with staying comfortable. Too many are sitting back, watching instead of engaging. Too many are letting fear, distraction, and culture keep them from stepping into what God has called them to do. But God is still asking: Who’s willing to stand? Who’s willing to go? We can stop living by circu...

What if the version of you that God sees… is nothing like the version you see? In Judges 6, Gideon is hiding—afraid, intimidated, and just trying to survive. But in that very moment, God shows up and calls him something completely different: “Mighty man of valor.” God doesn’t speak to where you are—He speaks to who He’s called you to be. And too many believers are living beneath that calling… hidi...

Easter is not just about Jesus rising from the dead… It’s about the same power that raised Him is alive in you right now! This Easter message brings it back to what the resurrection really means for us today—not just hope for heaven, but healing, restoration, and power for everyday life here and now.  When Jesus rose, it wasn’t symbolic. It was power. Power that defeated death. Power that broke fe...

Rooted in the powerful truth of “those who honor Me, I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30), this teaching challenges us to examine our hearts and make adjustments where needed. Honor isn’t just a feeling—it’s an action. It’s seen in how we treat God, His Word, His house, and the people around us. Through the story of Paul in Acts 28, we see how simple acts of kindness and provision reflect true honor—and...

Honor doesn’t happen by accident—it’s something you choose on purpose. Honor is not automatic, emotional, or circumstantial. It is intentional. It requires awareness, humility, and a deliberate decision to value what God values, even when it doesn’t come naturally. Throughout Scripture, honor is never portrayed as passive. It is shown through actions, words, and attitudes that are chosen—especiall...

God works through authority structures, and our response to them directly impacts what we receive from Him. Honoring authority is not about agreeing with everything or pretending leaders are perfect—it’s about recognizing what God has established and choosing to stay aligned with it. From biblical examples, we see that those who understood authority—both natural and spiritual—positioned themselves...

Honor is not just a good attitude—it’s a spiritual principle that determines what flows into your life. In this message, we continue to explore how honor positions believers to receive what God has placed in others. Throughout Scripture, we see that when people recognize and value what God has established—whether His Word, His house, or His appointed leaders—they open the door for grace, wisdom, a...

In a culture where disrespect is celebrated and dishonor is normalized, this message calls the Church back to a biblical foundation: honor is not optional — it’s powerful. Honor is more than politeness or outward respect. It originates in the heart. You can say the right words and still dishonor inwardly — and God sees the difference. Throughout Scripture, we see a clear pattern: “Those who honor...

“Living in the Green” isn’t about waiting for perfect clarity — it’s about moving when God has already spoken. In this message, we see how God works through motion, not passivity. From Paul and Barnabas stepping out without full instructions, to Isaac sowing in the middle of famine, to Jesus teaching that we are the seed planted in the earth — Scripture shows us the same truth again and again: God...

Many believers feel stuck, waiting on God for their “next step,” when He has already given clear instructions in His Word. In this message, Living in the Green, we’re reminded that obedience doesn’t always start with a new word—it starts with walking in what God has already said. “Living in the green” means understanding that God’s Word has already given every believer a wide-open path to move, gr...
