Westside Church episodes

June 07 Evan Earwicker: Ruth, Ruth 1:1-22
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.

June 01 Ben Fleming: Namaan, 2 Kings 5:1-16
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.

May 26 Ben Fleming: Restoring the Good Life, Matthew 7:13–27
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.

May 17 Evan Earwicker: Judge Not, Discern Well, Matthew 7:1-12
Westside One: On the Mount Week 6 | God alone holds the authority to judge humanity – he does not pass that authority onto us. Rather than judge and condemn those around us in our own ignorance, we are instead invited to build intentional relationships with others that are supported by God’s perfect love for humanity.

May 10 Ben Fleming: What Money Can't Buy, Matthew 6:19-34
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.

May 03 Lindsay Parnell: Performing the Faith, Matthew 6:1-18
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.

April 19 Ben Fleming: The Luckiest, Matthew 5:1-12
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.

April 12 Evan Earwicker: The Greatest Sermon Ever Told, Matthew 4:23-5:2
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. Instead of a rule-based faith focused on managing sin, the invitation is to follow Jesus closely and be transformed from the inside out, leading to a full, abundant life shaped by grace.
