Westtown Church

Westtown Church's Easter worship services focus on what Christ's cross shows us about life. The cross not only manifests God’s power for our personal salvation & change but it also reveals for us Christ’s purpose for the world and our call to be a part of His glorious work that transcends our temporal existence. Together, we'll see how the cross calls us to be a part of what God...

Recently at Westtown, we’ve been asking, what do you see in the cross? Christ’s cross and His triumph over the cross through His resurrection is full of meaning as it answers life’s big questions such as who is God and how may we know Him? This week, we see how Christ’s cross answers the question how can we change for the better? We’ll see from Romans 6 how Christ’s cross empowers us as people to...

In our current message series, Portrait of the Cross , we're seeking answers to some of life's big questions through the lens of Christ's cross. Last week, we saw how God shows us who He is through the cross in answer to the question, 'who is God?'. This week, we answer the question, 'how can we know God?', by looking at the purpose of the cross. We'll also...

In the Portrait of the Cross sermon series we’re asking, ‘what do you see in the cross?’ We believe that by answering that question we’ll see how the cross answers life’s big questions. For instance, this Sunday we’ll see how the cross and Christ’s triumph over the cross answers the question ‘who is God?’ by portraying to us God’s character and proving Christ’s identity. This God, who reveals Hims...

As we have been walking through our Praying on Purpose series , we've taken a look at each portion of the Lord's Prayer together, and how it can impact our prayer potential. This week, we'll be in Luke 11 , focusing in on scripture that is integrally tied to this prayer as well. We will explore how our God acts as a friend, and a father – He asks us to pray with confidence and coura...

We continue our journey through the Lord’s prayer this week in our Praying on Purpose series by considering Jesus’ instruction to pray ‘forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.’ Jesus’ words raise many questions: if God forgives us when we believe in Christ, why do we need to ask forgiveness again? If we fail to forgive someone, are we no longer Christians? How can we forgive someone who hu...

When Jesus teaches us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” he is telling us, in a very simple way, that we should ask God for all our needs in prayer! But there's something more complex going on in this prayer. When we pray this way, God teaches us to trust him to be our Provider on his timeline. Through trusting in Him we become more thankful and generous people. Get Caught Up on thi...

The Kingdom of God was the hallmark of Christ the King’s teaching and ministry. Both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ began their public preaching ministries declaring, ‘repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.’ Christ healed, cast out demons, controlled nature, and raised the dead to prove He was God’s Son and that through Him God’s kingdom had come in power. Further, Jesus taught His disciple...

Jesus often said shocking things, never for their 'shock value,' but because God's truth often contradicts our life's outlook in surprising ways. Few statements were more shocking or revolutionary than Jesus teaching us to address God as our Father. To some of His hearers, addressing God as Father was scandalous and to others it transformed their understanding of God and the fa...

Many times, we follow Jesus reluctantly only to discover that He often joyfully blesses us when we step out in faith to follow Him. Support the show

Jesus often describes life in surprising paradoxes: the meek will inherit the earth, the person who loses his/her life will find it, and in order to be first, we must be last. Christ's words run counter to the spirit of our age but none more so than that true glory is found by forsaking our glory and beholding Christ's glory. Support the show

When the angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds to announce Christ’ birth, ‘the glory of the Lord shone around them.’ The coming of Jesus Christ manifests God’s glory. A common answer to the question ‘what is our primary purpose in life?’ is: ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever!’ Clearly, ‘glory’ is vital for knowing God and flourishing in life. But what is God’s glory and how do we glorify...

As the Advent Season begins, we long for the Lord to show us more of His glory, to grow our understanding of who He is, and to deepen our faith in His goodness and purposes for us – so that we might believe more fully, that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord. Our hope for this Christmas can be found in the promise of scripture, from 2 Corinthians 3:18: "As we behold Christ’s glory more and more,...

Jesus frequently gave thanks during His earthly ministry. As we see why Jesus gave thanks to His Father, we can learn how to be thankful all the time and in all circumstances. We'll culminate our thanks to God by celebrating the Lord's Supper together. Support the show

'I can't reconcile the idea of hell with a loving God - even if He is holy.' Such statements express one of the most common objections to Chirstianity. Many believers are also uncomfortable with God's wrath and the existence of hell. If you wrestle with reconciling or answering the objection of how a loving God can have wrath, then join us at Westtown at 9:00 and 10:45 AM where...

They say the only two certainties in life are death and taxes. But the Bible gives Christians some more (and much better) certainties! First, when we die, we will be with Jesus immediately! Two, Jesus will return to Earth one day! And three, these certainties mean we can live our lives with hope and in vigilant service of the Lord Jesus. Support the show
