Westside Church Northwest Podcast

We are in a fight. A fight for righteousness, holiness, and truth. It’s not a fight against people but FOR people. Scripture says “Walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth)... Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them;  for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by the...

2000 years ago Jesus prayed for us. He prayed for YOU. And that prayer is still having an effect on us today. What did He pray over us? How are we coming into agreement with that prayer? Support the show

Jesus is the Son of God. But, scripture also calls Him the Son of Man. Understanding how Jesus operated as a man is crucial for us because He told us to go and do the "same works" that He did. (John 14:12) If Jesus did all of what He did merely as God then that disqualifies us from doing the same.  Support the show

Prayer is similar to sports. You can enjoy sports, but you won't do well if you try to play rugby with golf rules. Similarly, there are different kinds of prayer and different principles for those different kinds of prayer. In this message, Pastor Cory talks about the prayer of faith. What it is. And how this type of prayer we can pray in confidence knowing God hears and answers every time. S...

Intercession is another type of prayer Scripture talks about. To break it down, it is simply praying for others. If the majority of our prayer revolves around us and our needs, we are missing a huge impact our prayer life can have. In this message, Pastor Cory shows through the scripture how we effectively pray for others to experience God. Support the show

A lot of thoughts have been given about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit over the years. But, what are Scripture's thoughts on the subject? In this message, Pastor Cory goes through some scriptures that some have twisted or misunderstood to discredit this experience that is for every believer. Support the show

There are many misconceptions when it comes to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and praying in tongues. Polarizing opinions have been formed over the years based off of people’s experiences. But what does Scripture say on the matter?  Support the show

What is prayer about? Before Jesus gives His disciples what we call The Lord’s Prayer, He tells them to pray in this manner which means there is a way not to pray. Jesus said “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions” (Matthew 6:7) Prayer is about time together with God. It’s not about talking TO God. It’s about talking WITH God. In this message, Pastor Cory starts to unpack effective prayer...

Our perspective shapes how we live. It forms our priorities. But what happens when our perspective is off? Pastor Chris encourages us through the scripture to see what it looks like to have an eternal perspective. Support the show

"God is in control." It's a phrase used by a lot of good-meaning, church-going believers. But, if God is in control, why is there such pain and suffering in the world? Is everything that is happening at the orchestration of the Almighty? Or, are there other forces at work and are there things God has placed in our hands to take responsibility over? Pastor Mark guides us through scri...

God needs believers in places of influence. God is able to put knowledge and skills in you so you stand out above the crowd. The question is are we honoring Him? God will put you in places of influence where you have an impact in the culture and people’s lives. Support the show

There are times and seasons in our lives that can feel hopeless. Moments where it seems like we're not going to make it through. But, it's in those moments that test our trust in God. And He is always wanting to show up for us in those times. He is our provider. Not just when times are tough, but when the pressure is on. He is the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way. No ma...

Sometimes the place that God puts us in isn’t forever. Like Elijah, sometimes our brook of provision dries up. But God never leaves us to live in lack. He’s our provider and He has a place of provision for us. The question is, are we following where He’s leading us? Are we taking time to hear His voice? Support the show

The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came to bring life and life more abundantly. But, the way the kingdom of darkness robs people of purpose and hope, kills their potential and desire, and ultimately brings destruction in life is primarily through the ungodly currents of culture. How do we recognize what is of God and what isn’t? Today, we talk about truth and the underlying agenda...

Because Jesus rose, we have a living hope! A hope that there is more than this life. A hope that Heaven isn’t a destination we will one day get to but a present reality waiting to flood every area of our lives. Jesus is our living hope! Support the show

Walking in the Fear of the Lord is one of the hallmarks of a person following after God. Choosing to live in the Fear of the Lord does pose challenges against our will, ego, and agenda at times. But, there are many benefits that Scripture talks about if we choose to embrace and embody the Fear of the Lord.  Subscribe to the daily devotional videos by texting “devo” to  (509) 413-0134  or sign up v...

We must be good enough stewards that when God tells us to do something, we do it all the way. Partial obedience is still disobedience.  Subscribe to the daily devotional videos by texting “devo” to  (509) 413-0134  or sign up via email at wcspokane.com Support the show

We can not appease everyone and be a servant of Christ at the same time. When we start doing and standing for what's right, we will face resistance. We can not please man and God at the same time because God's ways are above man's ways.

God calls us to be holy as He is holy. But being holy and "appearing holy" are not always the same thing. Just because we look like we’re living for God in our public life doesn’t mean we are living for Him in our private life. Yet, scripture says, “We must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:10 AMPC) Who are we becoming in our priva...

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10 NKJV There are a lot of promises throughout Scripture for those who fear the Lord. But, what exactly does it mean to "fear God?" Is it to be scared of Him? In part one of this series, we'll dive into a scriptural understanding of what is and what is not The...
