Sunday School Week 4 | Samson’s story shows us that even in times of intense hardship, hope remains because God is present in the valley. We must realize that it is Him and not us – even with our strong willpower and grit – who can turn an ending into the beginning of something good.

Sunday School Week 2 | Ruth's story shows us that even in suffering, hope remains because God draws near to the marginalized, transforms bitterness, and uses broken stories to create something good and lasting.

Sunday School Week 1 | Namaan's story illustrates Andy Stanley's quote, "To understand, you must first obey," perfectly. Namaan was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy (v. 1). When he heard that there was a God who could heal him, he imagined his healing process as one fit for a king – but God had a simpler, quieter approach in mind.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 7 | In the final week of our observation of the Sermon on the Mount, we see that Jesus contrasts two ways of living: a narrow path rooted in his teachings that leads to real life, and a broad, self-centered path that ultimately leads to destruction.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 5 | Money easily shifts from a useful tool into something that controls our hearts and fuels anxiety – especially when we equate it with security, identity, or worth. God invites us to rely entirely on him and turn from a life of self-preservation to one of generosity to those around us.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 4 | True transformation comes not from performing for others but from rooting identity in God’s unconditional love, which frees people from the exhausting need for approval and image management. Practicing faith in the “secret place”—where motives are hidden and hearts are formed—shifts life from striving and pretense to genuine inner change marked by rest, authenticity, and lasting fruit.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 3 | In our third week of studying the Sermon on the Mount, we learn that following Jesus isn’t about piling on more rules or proving our worth, but leaning further into Jesus and accepting the grace he offers freely to us.
