Christians are hated by the enemy. But...What is persecution? What is radical obedience? And how do we live lives set apart from the world?!

This week in "The Upper Room" we see that an Upper Room disciple is hated by the enemy. We can define the enemy as 3 things: The Flesh, Satan and Demons, and The World. As a 21st Century Christian we find ourselves comfortable with our faith and forget that being a Christian is a radical thing! We ask ourselves "Do we as a church really experience the type of opposition that Jesus is talking about?" and "Does our love and obedience to Jesus cost us anything?". Radical obedience is motivated by REAL love. What radical step of obedience is Jesus leading YOU to take?

This week in our series we look at John 15: 1-17. We see that Upper Room Disciples are fruitful in their lives by making their home in Jesus! The closer we are to Jesus, the better our lives will. The further we are from Jesus the worse our lives will be. Can we change our lives? Yes, but being at home in Jesus is the only way we can!

What comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? Do you think of Experiences? Do you think of truth? Do you think of a Helper? Let's talk about it!

This week in our series we examine John 14: 15-31. We see that Upper Room Disciples are helped by the Holy Spirit to hold on to God's commandments. In order to understand this we ask the questions: Who is the Holy Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit do? and How do we get the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the Power and Presence of Jesus living inside the people of God, and the good news of the gospel is that Jesus gave up his Spirit so that we may have the Holy Spirit in our supernatural life!

This week in "The Upper Room" we look at John 14: 1-14. In the scripture we see that Upper Room Disciples are hopeful in heart when we hold onto the promises of God. We define Hope as the confident expectation that what God has said, will happen! All through this chapter we see many promises of God, and we can rest on these promises when we find our hearts troubled. 

On this episode of The Rest of the Sermon we take a look at the commandment in John chapter 13 to "love one another".

This week in our series "The Upper Room" we see what it looks like to Love One Another. As we look in John 13: 31-38, we see that there are four points when it comes to Love. We find that Love is not a feeling, but a commandment, and that we cannot love until we first receive love from Jesus!

We had a guest speaker this past Sunday at West Side, Alex Clark! It was a great sermon that you can check out on our website or facebook.
