October 04 Evan Earwicker: What If I Change My Mind? Romans 12:1-2

September 27 Ben Fleming: What Do We Do With Anger? James 1:19-20
Good Questions Week 3 | Anger should act as a warning light for us, not a steering wheel. Through Jesus’ teachings and the stories of how he handled anger, we learn that anger itself is not bad or sinful; however, we are never called to let our anger turn into hatred for another human being.

September 20 Evan Earwicker: How Do I Know if I'm Hearing God? John 10:11-27
Good Questions Week 2 | Hearing God often comes from knowing Jesus so deeply through Scripture, prayer, and community that we learn to recognize his voice and work in our everyday lives and let his character shape our decisions.

September 13 Ben Fleming: Does My Faith Have to be Radical? 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Good Questions Week 1 | In the first week of our Good Questions series, we learn from the Apostle Paul’s teachings that it is better to walk intentionally (and often quietly and slowly) next to Jesus than to put on an outward show to convince others that we are “good Christians.” A radical faith does not need to be a loud one.

September 06 Gonzalo Franco: Join In, Romans 15:30
This Sunday, Westside commissioned the Franco family as they prepare to move to Spain as missionaries. We had the privilege of hearing Pastor Gonzalo preach about mission work.
Pastor Gonzalo shares that the church’s ultimate mission is about introducing people to Jesus – not merely Christian culture, traditions, or institutions. Every believer is invited to participate in that mission, no matter where God has placed them.

August 30 Evan Earwicker: How's Your Posture? Philippians 2:1-8
Healthy Relationships: Week 4 | Healthy relationships require adopting the humble, selfless posture of Jesus. From Jesus’ example in the Bible, we see the value of prioritizing others and practicing vulnerability, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

August 23 Ben Fleming: Listening Like Jesus Did, John 4:4-30
Healthy Relationships: Week 3 | Through the story of Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well, we learn from Jesus’ example that listening is an act of love. Healthy listening does not involve interjecting or fixing the situation – it is slowing down and seeking to understand.

August 16 Ben Fleming: What Lies Beneath, Mark 14:32-37
Healthy Relationships: Week 2 | In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ interaction with God helps illustrate that healthy relationships begin by honestly confronting what is happening beneath the surface of our hearts – being brutally honest with ourselves and with whoever we are in friendship or relationship with – rather than avoiding difficult emotions.
