Jesus modeled discipleship in the context of a diverse community. As we seek to follow Him, we can't let individualism, idealism, and intimidation hinder us from sharing our lives with one another.

Rhythms of Life keep us connected to Jesus. They move us beyond religious checkboxes into a lifestyle that integrates faith into everyday moments.

The mission of Westside Church can be summarized as Life in Community, Love for our Neighbors, with Jesus at the Center. Pastor Evan breaks down each one as we look to the future of our church.

Jesus reveals the glory of God as full of grace and truth. We offer both to the world around us, following Jesus' example of compassion and redemption, while practicing empathy in our interactions with others.

God's holiness is so intense that impurity in His presence is dangerous, as seen in stories like Moses and the burning bush, Isaiah's vision in the temple, and Ezekiel's river vision. Jesus demonstrates a different expression of God's holiness throughout his ministry. His holiness and power don't condemn the impure but transform and heal those approaching him in faith.

God is a covenant God who made a plan from the beginning to show His faithfulness to humanity.

The wisdom of God is seen in his perfect acts, from Creation to Jesus' death and resurrection and in between, all God does flows from his infinite fullness of wisdom.

Often when we think of the justice of God, our minds go to an angry, vengeful God who executes judgment on the wicked. However, a closer look at scripture shows us that justice is action taken on behalf of the vulnerable. Throughout the entirety of the Bible, we see God’s heart for the outcast, orphan, and downtrodden. From the mosaic law to the sermon on the mount, it is clear that God’s heart is for those who cannot help themselves. As Christians, we must follow and embody the heart of God, taking on the cause of the vulnerable and making it our own.

The revolutionary understanding of God's nature as love sets Christianity apart and should guide our interactions with the world. Jesus provides the full and true understanding of God: Jesus shows us the mature working-out of love. In Jesus, God and love are linked accurately, intricately, indissolubly.

Old humanity dies with Christ & becomes new humanity exemplified by Mercy, Generosity, Forgiveness & Love.
