Westside Church episodes

August 09 Evan Earwicker: What Relationships Require, John 15:9-17
Healthy Relationships: Week 1 | What can we learn from the Bible when it comes to building healthy relationships? Because Jesus calls his followers to love one another, we learn that healthy relationships require commonality, consistency, and vulnerability – and the church can become a place of healing and connection in an increasingly lonely world.

August 02 Josh Cordell: Turn Towards God, James 5:13-20
James Week 4 | In this week’s sermon, Pastor Josh shows us how James often gives us simple, clear instructions on how we can turn towards God. In hard times, God calls us to come close. In good times, we are called to worship. While these actions can feel insignificant, it is only through the love of God that we can be made perfectly whole, no matter our situation.

July 26 Ben Fleming: What to Do with Conflict, James 4:1-12
James Week 3 | In the final installment of our series through James, we learn what to do when we encounter conflict with others. Rather than build up our defenses and look for ways to blame others for our actions, James encourages – or even demands – that our first action when dealing with conflict should be to turn to God and seek his grace in the situation.

July 19 Evan Earwicker: Words that Set the World on Fire, James 3:1-8
James Week 2 | James’ message in his third chapter sounds so harsh because he is being incredibly serious; words have the power to literally build up or tear down the character and wellbeing of the people around us. When Jesus interacts with the world, he does so with words of sincere kindness – and we should do the same.

July 12 Evan Earwicker: A House That Stands, James 1:22-25
James Week 1 | As we begin our study through James, we are reminded that faith was never meant to stop at understanding God’s Word. As the body of Christ, believers are called to carry the hope, compassion, and restoration of Jesus into the world, allowing God’s grace to flow through them in tangible ways every day.

July 05 Mike Meeks: Who Do You Say I Am? Matthew 16:13-17
Jesus’ question, “Who do you say I am?” is the defining question that moves faith from opinion to personal surrender. It reveals that our true identities are found not in performance, approval, or control – but in recognizing Christ as Lord, even if we can’t fully wrap our minds around the magnitude of that truth.

June 28 Ben Fleming: Adam & Eve, Genesis 3:1-21
Sunday School Week 5 | The story of Adam and Eve reveals that the humanity’s deepest problem is not simply that we break rules that God put in place; rather, humanity’s greatest issue originates from us choosing to distrust God’s goodness, which leads to shame, blame, and the hiding. To counteract this problem, God constantly invites humanity back into his perfect grace and love.

June 21 Ben Fleming: The Story of Samson, Judges 13-16
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.

June 14 Evan Earwicker: The Tower of Babel, Genesis 11:1-9
Sunday School Week 3 | We observe humanity’s drive to achieve, control, and remove limitations through stories as old as the Tower of Babel – and we can see that same desire echoed in our everyday lives as we interact with technology today. While the world pulls us into a world of efficiency and ease, God calls us to lives of community with others, even when it’s messy.
