Listen to a special message from Joseph Swan of Connexus Church in Barrie. God’s plan for our lives is that we would “run and not grow weary, walk and not faint.” Sometimes we struggle to step into all that he has planned for us due to the weight we carry from our past. There is a better way. Because of what Jesus did at the cross, God has made a way for us to live our lives unburdened! Westside is part of a leadership network with Connexus as we strive to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus together.

Christmas Eve message from Pastor Dave Stimers. What are your favourite Christmas traditions? I bet you have a few that you just can't do without. Traditions are powerful because they represent what is truly important in our lives. This Christmas, join us and start a new tradition (or rekindle an old one) that reminds us of exactly who we are.

From our Advent series, "All I Want For Christmas" - Part 4 with guest speaker, Dr. Isaac Odame. If we ever thought we had a lit bit of control over our circumstances, the COVID pandemic has blown that away. Our lives have been disrupted in ways that we never imagined. To make matters worse, extreme weather conditions have ravaged Canada’s coastal provinces causing severe flooding with devasting damage to infrastructure and loss of livelihood that will take billions of dollars to repair and restore. The anxiety, fear, trouble, sorrow, and pain generated by these circumstances continually threaten our peace of mind and heart. However, Christ offers us his supernatural peace; the kind of peace that does not depend on our circumstances. That peace is found in none other than Christ.

From our Advent series, "All I Want For Christmas" - Part 3 with Dave Stimers. When do you get to be happy? When you’re rich? Powerful? Beautiful? Comfortable? We’ve been told what to aspire to, and yet many of us are stuck living in fear and anxiety. How can we really find joy?

From our Advent series, "All I Want For Christmas" - Part 2 with Dave Stimers. God is love. We ought to love one another. That’s such a basic concept, and yet it is much more elusive than we might think. What kind of love should be evident in our community and how do we foster it?

From our Advent series, "All I Want For Christmas" - Part 1 with Dave Stimers. It can be hard to be optimistic in a world filled with problems. In fact, it’s pretty easy to get downright pessimistic or cynical about how things are going. But there is a formula for building something even stronger than a positive attitude. Believe it or not, we all have the chance to live in hope!

From the series, "Know Who You’re FOR" - Part 3 with Dave Stimers. I bet there are people in your life that you want the very best for. You want them to thrive. You want them to experience the best possible life. Part of following Jesus is making sure that we live lives that are FOR others.

From the series, "Know Who You’re FOR" - Part 2 with Zac Boot & Dave Stimers. God is FOR us, and that compels us to be FOR others. His love for us becomes our love for others! This week Zac shares how we can practically express this kind of love to our city. And Dave walks us through a meditation that leads to celebrating communion together.

From the series, "Know Who You’re FOR" - Part 1 with Dave Stimers. A lot of people are convinced that life is stacked against them. There’s certainly enough hardship to make it feel that way. The Scriptures tell us that even though life has many pains, God is FOR us. But can we really believe that?

From the series, "The Pace of Grace" - Part 10 with Dave Stimers. Some are big and some are small, but all of us face struggles in life. Our fear, guilt, or discouragement can seem overwhelming, but no matter what we might go through, God wants to give us the strength we need! Today we conclude our series through the book of Ephesians.
