Welcome to our online worship service! We hope that you are blessed by your time with the Westside family today. Today we are starting a new message series on salvation. Our main passage today is Acts 16, which tells the story of God setting Paul and Silas free from prison. Their miraculous escape helps us understand the connection between salvation and freedom. Jesus wants to break our chains and set us free, no matter what is holding us captive.

What must I do to be saved? There are countless important questions we wrestle with throughout our lives, but there's nothing more important than understanding how to find salvation. God carefully orchestrated a series of events that led to a Roman jailer asking this question in the context of God setting captives free. And that helps us understand that salvation is about freedom. The takeaway for us is that Jesus wants to set us free from everything that holds us captive.

Ephesians 4 paints a beautiful picture of what life in the church ought to be like. We should be equipping each other for ministry, building each other up, pursuing unity and maturity and inviting in the full measure of Christ. The church is functioning well when everyone is willing to do their part of the their work. The whole point of studying unity together is uniting behind our common goal--loving God, loving our neighbors, and making disciples. In this message we share three important words for 2023--Healthy, Focused, and Growing--and highlight a few ways we can make a kingdom impact.

Christians from different backgrounds worship the same God and read the same Bible. But they don't always agree on everything the Bible says. Why is this? In this message, we turn to James 1 to discover the importance of knowing God's word as best we can while also showing humility and kindness to others who see things differently. We also explore some of the practical reasons why Christians can read the same Bible but end up with different conclusions about what it means.

Welcome to our online worship service! We hope that you are blessed by your time with the Westside family today. We are continuing our message series on unity called "Bridgebuilders" by exploring some practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs. God presents us with two paths--wisdom and foolishness. The path of wisdom means taking the time to separate fact from fiction instead of immediately jumping to conclusions. If we learn to walk the path of wisdom, we'll be able to stop conflicts before they ever really start.

"Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." -Proverbs 18:2. "Understanding" refers to taking the time to patiently and prayerfully separate fact from fiction, which is especially important when we begin talking about tough Scriptural matters or controversial things that people have done or said. Our commitment to the truth should motivate us to be very discerning about what we share with others and what we accept as truth.

Welcome to our online worship service! We hope that you are blessed by your time with the Westside family today. We are continuing our message series on unity called "Bridgebuilders" by taking a close look at Romans 14. Paul is writing to the church to help them navigate a tough Scriptural issue that is threatening to divide the church and destroy the work of God. This passage helps us understand how we can navigate tough issues in today's church without compromising our integrity or causing divisions that will distract us from our mission.

In Romans 14, Paul is writing to a church that was splitting into factions over Scriptural issues. Although he has a clear stance on which side is right, his emphasis is to help the church navigate the differences in a Christ-like way.
