We are continuing "Our Best Year Ever" series as we talk about the importance of COMMUNITY. Jill Holley shares about the value and significance that community (her small group) has played in her life. Pastor David shares from 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15 about the role the community has in shaping us and supporting us.

In "Our Best Year Ever" Pastor David discusses habits and practices that we call can implement in our lives to see big changes in 2020. This week the focus is on "service" and special guest Holly Hulse shares her experience in serving in the church and the world.

Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10-11

Pastor David talks about Mary and Joseph this week as we continue the "Up Close and Personal" series. We will learn about how they each handled being "surprised" by what God was doing in the Christmas story and how we can be ready for God doing new things in our lives.

Pastor David Blackwood ends the "Up Close and Personal" series by discussing how God so loved us that God come into our stories through Jesus.

Aaron talks about Epiphany, the Wise Men, and three things we can learn from their arrival in Bethlehem when it comes to beginning the new year.

Pastor David Blackwood shares the "word of the year" for the West Campus of Wesley Church. This year the word is "provision" and is based on Exodus 16:1-4, 17-20. Listen as David discussing the importance in trusting God for our "daily bread" and how to be faithful stewards of what we have been given.

Pastor David talks about the story of King Herod and how the birth of Jesus threatened King Herod's position as "King". We will look at how today God might be asking us to change, to look at something a new way, or to allow God's kingdom to grow in our lives.

This week, Aaron challenges our student ministry to make room for Jesus this Christmas.

Pastor David continues the "Up Close and Personal" series by talking about what it means to wait on God. Especially, how do we wait on God when it is something really important and we might have been waiting for a long time. This is discussed through the experiences of Simeon and Anna in the Christmas story.

Scripture: Luke 2:25-38

Pastors David and Jessica Blackwood share a message about the importance of make room in our budgets, schedules, and tables for God. As we prepare for Christmas we can become so "busy" or so "full" that we can miss what God wants us to experience this Christmas.
