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.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 2 | The Beatitudes reveal an upside-down kingdom where Jesus made statements like “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” (v. 3) and “Blessed are those who mourn…” (v. 4). Jesus did not mean that these people earned blessings by being sad or broken – instead he revealed how the Kingdom of God is available to those who are in broken places.

Westside One: On the Mount Week 1 | Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount reveal a radically different way of life rooted in God’s present kingdom.

The Gospel of John: Week 14 | Easter Sunday marks a day of not only the miracle of Jesus rising from the grave, but of an invitation for anybody and everybody to know that their stories are not over. No matter your regrets, failures, or uncertainty, Jesus invites every one of us to come and sit with him.

The Gospel of John: Week 12 | Jesus invites us to remain connected to him like branches to a vine, trusting that real transformation and fruitfulness comes not from abiding in his life and teachings – choosing to simply be with him – not striving to prove our dedication or worth.

The Gospel of John: Week 11 | The peace that Jesus offers isn’t found in specific circumstances or self-improvement. It is found by realizing that we are vessels of his goodness, and are fully reliant on his presence through the Holy Spirit.
