12.26.21 - EXPECTING MORE
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
Tuesday Dec 28, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
Too often we get caught off guard by God's goodness and desire to bless us! Today, Pastor Jonathan encourages us to expect more out of the situations we are in. We can do this simply because of the goodness of God's character and the surety of trusting in him.

Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
The reality of the progression towards the manger is a difficult one to grapple with. What was Mary and Joseph's experience really like? For sure, it was unexpected, unfamiliar and uncertain, making Mary and Joseph uncomfortable. But through these experiences, both they and we experience the miraculous and praise worthy plan and goodness of God.

Friday Dec 03, 2021
Friday Dec 03, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
The ingredients of our lives should look much like the ingredients of the Anointing Oil the Israelites made. Learn about a Love that is flexible, a Fire that is sweet, a Brokenness that is beautiful and the Holy Spirit who brings it all together to make us a sweet smelling fragrance to God.

Monday Nov 29, 2021
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
This week, guest speaker John Rhodes talks about why we should be grateful for who God is and what he has done for us. If we don't reflect on these things often, everything that God has done for us can seem commonplace... normal. So join us in reflecting on the goodness and mercy of God this week!

11.17.21 - EYES TO SEE
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
Thursday Nov 18, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
It was Martin Luther that said we cannot keep a bird from flying over our heads, but we can certainly keep it from plucking out our hair, making a nest on our scalps and biting off our nose! It is the same with what we see. Often, we cannot choose what we look at, yet we can decide what to stare intently at. So, let's fix our eyes on Jesus in order to run well in this race of life.

11.14.21 - A NEW DIMENSION OF FAITH pt. 2
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
Faith changes us. When we begin to trust in Jesus, we begin to Look Different, Have Different, and Give Different. It's not a snapshot, but rather the beginning of an exponential curve towards Jesus. Today, we look at how faith changed the disciples, and how it can change us.

Thursday Nov 11, 2021
Thursday Nov 11, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
What does God's voice sound like? A whisper? A storm? Whenever and however he speaks, we need to be in position to hear him. And not only to hear him, but understand what he is saying to us whether in whisper or wind. But how do we do that? Listen in :)

11.03.21 - CLIMBING A TREE TO GET TO JESUS
Thursday Nov 04, 2021
Thursday Nov 04, 2021
Hey Westside Family!
In the hustle and bustle of a large crowd, a small man stricken with a life of sin and shame saw his opportunity for forgiveness. Zacchaeus climbed a nearby tree to just see if he can get to Jesus, when suddenly, he called Zacchaeus out of the crowd. This story shows that the opportunity is here, the time is now. We have the choice to give over our lives to Jesus and to repay debts and settle scores in the name of the Kingdom.

10.24.21 - ENDURING FAITH
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Often times it isn't the novelty of our initial experience with God that we struggle with. It's the long obedience in the same direction that gets us. Peter struggled with this too as we see in Matthew 14 and his battle with the winds and the waves to get to Jesus.
This week we see how Jesus lifts us up from the chaotic waters and helps us forward in our Enduring Faith.

10.20.21 - Courage
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
Thursday Oct 21, 2021
This Wednesday, Pastor Jonathan Rhodes speaks on being courageous as a Biblical Virtue. Juxtaposed by fear, courage cannot take root unless we lean on God to bring out courage in the midst of do or die moments.

10.17.21 - Practice
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Monday Oct 18, 2021
Progression can sometimes be daunting. In an instantly gratified world, the slow moving, steady faith of the practitioner can seem mundane. Yet Yahweh is beckoning us into the world of the practice, allowing Him to work through us as we continue to work out our salvation.
We are encouraged this week by Jake Wallace, our Youth Pastor, to become more like Christ by practicing behaviors that He taught and walked out.

Monday Oct 11, 2021
In the middle of the stormy seas of life, we have a Rescuer and a Deliverer. When we a swarmed by chaos, we can look to Him in faith, rise up in His arms and take the waves head on.
This week, Jonathan encourages us to not only allow God to rescue us from the storm, but to partner with God in His army to fight for our lives and the lives of those around us.

The Valley of Dry Bones - Glory in the Storm
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Monday Oct 04, 2021
With surging swells of chaotic waters seeming to fill up our lives, it's easy to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed. Yet the constant reminder of faith-followers is God's glorious presence is in the midst of the storm.
Don't let yourself get beaten up by life, past sins, and past decisions. Instead be built up by faith so that you can go forward as Jesus said:
"Get up, go and sin no more."

The Valley of Dry Bones
Monday Sep 20, 2021
Monday Sep 20, 2021
In Ezekiel 37, we see a chilling image of a valley filled with bones, a stormy wind sweeping through and the bones rising, and growing into a strong army. Something out of a movie, right?
But this beautiful picture of how God breathes on our death-filled lives and raises us up into a strong battalion has profound meaning for our lives.
Today hear from Pastor Jonathan speaking of a need for breath in the valley of dry bones.

It‘s Time to Prophecy!
Monday Sep 13, 2021
Monday Sep 13, 2021
No... not fortune telling (well... maybe sometimes), but that's not the main point.
Prophecy is about how you use your mouth. Proclaiming what God's will is for this moment, this time and this place.
Are you allowing God to speak through you? Or are you proclaiming words of negativity, discouragement and hopelessness? Today, we invite God to use our lips to speak his specific will for both our own lives, and the lives around us.
