Woodside Bible Church Romeo

Happy Sunday, church family! We are currently walking through our series, Big Ideas from Little Books, talking about relevant topics from smaller books in the Bible. The truths we will learn about from these books will help us to know Christ deeper and allow us to better understand Scripture. Join us this Sunday as we talk about why the church must beware of false teachers. We hope you enjoyed thi...

As Christians, one of our highest callings is to reach the world with the Gospel. This can sometimes feel like an overwhelming thing. We may feel like our life is too busy to find the time for this, or maybe our fear holds us back from preaching the Gospel. These are places many have found themselves in, if you are feeling that you are not alone. We have the ability as Christians to invite God int...

Happy Memorial Day weekend, church family! As you reflect on this day may you remember those who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms, that we hold today. Join us in a sermon on John-Mark in the book of Acts, where we will see that we are not defined by our failures. We serve a God of many chances and One who continues to pursue us even when we fail Him. We hope this week's message blesses y...

As Christians, it is our responsibility to share the Gospel. God's word makes it abundantly clear that our mission is to spread the Gospel. For some, sharing the Gospel is simple, for others it is nerve-wracking. At Woodside, we believe in making disciples, by reaching the world and our local communities with the saving grace of Christ. People everywhere desperately need Jesus. Spreading the Gospe...

As Christians, we work to honor God in all aspects of our lives, through our work, our words, in our friendships, so in our sex lives it is important we look to honor Him in that. We have been journeying through our What God Says About series. This week we tacklea topic that is not often talked about in the church—sex. Scripture has much to say about it though, so it seems important we discuss wha...

Our words hold a lot more power than we may realize. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” How we speak to others truly matters. We jumped into a new sermon series, What God Says About, applying God’s wisdom to everyday situations. In our everyday interactions with others, it can be easy to be flippant with our words—not re...

In our walks of faith, our lives have a big influence on the communities we are immersed in. Whether we realize it or not, the choices we make and the things we do have an impact. As God created us as communal beings, therefore, the groups we are a part of will be affected by the choices we make. Our series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal , is ending. We have been slowly walki...

Have you ever tried to cover up your sin? Going to whatever lengths you can to try to bury it, so no one will see it or discover it? At some point, a lot of us have been in that place, where we are full of shame from our sin and fear of what may happen if someone discovered our shortcomings. We can see where David was coming from in his efforts to cover up his sin with Bathsheba. But God calls us...

Over the past six weeks, we have taken a deep dive into the life of Daniel. We have seen from the challenges and hardships he faced, that he remained faithful to God through it all. As the body of Christ, we can learn from Daniel's faith and should strive to have the same in our lives. Today, we are closing out our series, Daniel: Clash of Cultures , looking at the life of Daniel as he faced sever...

For the past couple of weeks, we have been immersed in the world of Daniel, seeing His struggle through remaining loyal to God despite living in a culture that directly opposed God. Daniel displayed courage, loyalty, and faithfulness to the Lord through hardships and hostility from the crowds around him. Like Daniel, we too face the challenge of denying our present cultural norms and fighting to r...

As we walk this earth there will be pain; it is inevitable. Our pain may be physical or emotional and could come from a fellow brother or sister in Christ. Perhaps they sinned against you, said hurtful words, or brought harm upon you. When these circumstances occur, it can be difficult to forgive. We may wrestle with forgiveness for years, only being able to come to a place of forgiveness by the g...

When we are in Christ, we are called to look different from the world. In that, how we act, speak, and treat others should not be like how the world does. More importantly, we must treat our family of Christ with respect and intentional care. We are to treat them with the same love that Jesus has shown us. We are continuing our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture. We will hear...

Conflict is inescapable. It intertwines itself into every part of our lives. In our relationships, conflict will always come because of our fallen nature. But in a world that always looks to put others down and cancel each other, Jesus calls us to a better way, a peaceful way. Today, we begin a new series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture , where we will look at the gospel of Matth...

Several times, in the New Testament, Jesus’ healing ministry is on display where His power and authority are magnified. In our daily walks today, Jesus still has the same power and dominion over death and sickness. At times, He may not answer our prayers or fulfill our wishes regarding loved ones, or ourselves, how or when we would like. However, He makes it clear that through His healing touch an...

What is the soil of your heart? Are you obedient to the words of scripture? Would you say your heart is fertile? These are all questions that may arise as we listen to the parable of the sower in Mark chapter 4. Jesus teaches this parable to a large crowd of people, and He brings a calling to those who have an ear to let them hear. In other words, it seems like what He was trying to illustrate was...

Our world functions from our labor. We work each day to provide for our families. We encourage hard work and to do a job well done. We put a lot of emphasis on our career and how it will carry us. In the same way, we work hard at our job, we have a similar call as followers of Christ; to carry out God's mission He has for His followers. God calls us to spread His gospel and love to all the nations...

Throughout the years, most have tried to find the meaning and purpose of life. They pose questions like - Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? Who am I? How should I live? And statistics prove that year after year, more people are looking for those answers outside of the church and God, relying on and believing in money, self, power, politics, or something else! One reason why p...

Do the people around you know who you follow? The things that interest us tend to take priority in our lives; our children, our job, favorite sports team, a hobby, or even favorite series of books. We may have pictures, posters, shirts, and even often have conversations about whatever we follow! As a Christian, can those around us also see that we are followers of Jesus Christ? We continue our ser...

Do your relationships ever feel like a double-edged sword? On one hand, we all long for community - to know and be known. On the other, many of us have learned that entering a relationship opens us up to a lot of pain. As much as we need each other, people are the very ones who hurt, disappoint, betray, or even abandon us - and family is no exception. As we continue our message series, Family: Why...

Throughout the pages of Scripture, God sends and His people go. From Moses to Matthew or Jonah to John, God sends those who have a relationship with Him. So, where is He sending you? Today we begin our newest message series, Send Me: When God Calls Us to Go. Over the next three weeks, we'll look to Isaiah 6 for a glimpse of the way God calls and compels us to go! Through our study, we’ll come face...

Jesus ate with “sinners” because he came to bring salvation to those who were sick with sin. Jesus pursues sinful people and invites us to his table to eat and experience His saving work. Sometimes I think we forget that includes us! Have we truly recognized and received that grace? Or have we taken Jesus for granted - or perhaps rejected His grace altogether? Today, we continue our message series...

From childhood we've been taught more money equals more happiness. The only thing that's changed over the years is the kind of possessions we desire. The toys and games that brought us happiness then have been replaced by the "need" for bigger houses, faster cars, name-brand clothes, and the newest devices. Sound familiar? Join us as we continue our message series, James: Live the Truth, by asking...

No one likes to wait. We are a generation of instant gratification: we get what we want when we want it. So how do you think you'd last if you were told to wait years for something? Or even, hundreds of years? As we conclude our Christmas series, Eyewitness: Finding Your Christmas Story in Theirs, we turn to the book of Luke where we encounter Simeon & Anna as they respond to the arrival of Je...
