Westside Sermons

2 Corinthians 8:1-7 | God does extraordinary things when people see a need, seek the Lord, and step out in faith. This is the first of five messages in our REACH vision initiative.

Joshua 14 | At 85 years of age, Caleb receives his inheritance. He exemplifies faith patiently waiting and working for the Lord.

Joshua 6-7 | Often spiritual victories set us up for a let down. In our time of celebration we fall to quickly to common temptations. Learn the path to victory at Jericho and the agony of defeat at Ai.

Daniel 5 | The land flowing with milk and honey was also filled with challenges and temptations. So the first order of business upon entering was preparing properly for the storms.

Joshua 3:1-17 | God will often allow us time to wander in the wilderness of doubt and fear, but we should never settle there.  Before Joshua leads the Israelites across the Jordan, we see several steps of preparation which allowed God’s people to participate in the impossible.

Joshua 1:10-18 | There are people only you can reach. There is spiritual rest you are meant to enjoy.

Joshua 1:1-9 | Have you ever been stuck spiritually? Not growing? Heading in the wrong direction? The book of Joshua is a picture for Christians of how to move from wandering in the wilderness to fruitfulness in the land of promise.

John 8:1-11 | Many times Christians lose their freedom to the grip of fear and shame. Watch and learn to live forgiven as Jesus deals with the adulterous women and her accusers.

Romans 8 | Many Christians live in a constant battle with regret. Not so much from what they did, but what they didn’t do. The culprit that cages us in is often fear. Let Jesus set you free with the truth from Romans 8.

Mark 10:13-16 | By: Pastor Jay Dennis

Pastor Mike Taylor, our Minister of Missions, answers the question, "How do I deal with change in my life?"

Galatians 5 | Though free in Christ, there will be many opportunities in life when we must limit those freedoms or allow them to be limited. The Apostle helps us see the guidelines.

John 8:31-47 | Freedom is an unalienable right but apart from truth and surrender to Jesus an unachievable goal. Jesus invites us to find true freedom in one of his most famous statements.

Judges 2 | It took only two generations for the people of Israel to abandon and forget the Lord who delivered them. And yet, their story shows us how to keep that from happening to families of faith today

Hebrews 11:8-19 | Abraham is one of the Bible’s most powerful examples of living out life horizontally out of his relationship with God vertically. Life brings to all of us opportunities and tests for our faith, especially through our children.

Matthew 10:34-39 | All relationships face the same challenge. Even if we are “already” born again followers of Christ, we are “not yet” free of the ravages of sin. Jesus offers the only solution and path to lasting peace and joy in this life until He returns and restores creation.

1 Timothy 1:18-20 | The ultimate war is spiritual. Every believer is an Arrow in the hand of God. Listen as the apostle Paul encourages his arrow, young pastor Timothy to be all he was shaped and sent to be.

2 Timothy | If children are like arrows in the hands of warrior, they are meant to shaped, sharpened, and sent. But who will rise the challenge? From Paul’s example discipling young Timothy, God shows us the way we can accomplish our task.

Parents have an incredible responsibility to help shape the future. Solomon gives us some keen insights into what it takes and what it looks like. Family matters to God. Let’s do our best while finding our rest in God. Found in Psalm 127.

Believe it or not, you hold more of the future in your hands than you realize. In His sovereignty and great power, God put two universal principles in place which holds us responsible for praying well and sowing well. Found in Daniel 9.

Romans 8:18-31 // Jesus is coming back! Are there signs of his coming? The apostle Paul describes the challenges we will face, the hope that we have, and the things we should now do while we wait.

The resurrection of Jesus and testimony of those who saw Him afterwards continue to validate His identity as the Son of God and Son of Man. Does it validate anything else? Are there some things we must do before He comes again? The answers to those questions demand a response for each one of us.

John 3:11-15; Daniel 7 Our world and our community need saving? The prophet Daniel showed us He would come. And in this message we watch Nicodemus encounter “the Son of Man” live and in person. In Jesus, all of us find the hope for which we are looking.
