West Ridge Students

In this one-off sermon based on our 5 in 25' initiative, we look at the man on the mat who is lowered down to Jesus in Mark 2 to find that everyone deserves an opportunity to be brought into the presence of Jesus. 

In a follow-up to our first message on a invitation to rest found in Matthew 11:28-30, Pastor Nate Galloway breaks down what it looks like, practically, to take steps toward rest. "Until Jesus is enough, we will never find rest." This powerful statement begs the question: "If Jesus was all you had, would He be enough for you?"

As we discuss kicking off a new series, Charlie is joined by Seniors Cole Hancock and Skylar Parker. They talk about their experiences to prove the fact that you can be physically drained while being spiritually revived. In our exhausting lives, the rest that the world offers pales in comparison to the Holy Spirit within us who brings rest to our souls.

As we kick off a new series on Rest, we dive into Matthew 11:28-30 to find an invitation to take the yoke of Jesus upon us. In the midst of a stressed-out world, we find that allowing Jesus to teach us His way of life see's that we experience rest for our souls in the way that we are truly meant to as followers of Him.

In this sermon, we are taken back to Genesis to look at the life of Sarah, to see that the Lord was faithful to through her most difficult times. Through learning to trust in Him, we see that Sarah was able to build her faith around the fact that God was writing her story even when she couldn't see it. In the same way, God is writing your story, today.

This week, we are joined by our young adults pastor Todd Hampton, who takes us through the courageous life of David - a man who was after God's own heart. Knowing that God fights our battles, we are reminded to identify the giants in our lives so that we can surrender them to Him. 

In this series, based on the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, we look at the lives of three different heroes of the Faith. Tonight, we look to the life of Daniel to see that a faithful walk devoted to God is a testimony to those watching. 

In this short sermon, we praise God for what He did through our high school missions team in Nicaragua, and look forward to the mission He has set before us. Like Philip in Acts 8, we are called to go and share the news of Jesus Christ with those who He places in front of us. Will you go?

This weeks topic of discussion was put to a vote amongst the students. In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses a depraved church in Corinth with the same lessons that we look through tonight to find the importance and how-to in resisting sexual sin. Society has placed us at a disadvantage, but we have victory in Christ.

Based on 1 Timothy 4:7-8, students Charlie, Andrew and Bella discuss being broken down in repentance and built up in godliness for spiritual growth. They talk about the conviction of surrendering control, repenting of our worldliness, and committing to a reckless pursuit of walking with Jesus as a high school student.
