Westside Murray Sermons

The call to Christianity is the call to sacrifice your life for Christ. Not to earn anything, but to have the life the Lord has called you to as faithful servants of his…indeed, it is the only life worth living. Nehemiah 1:1-2:8.

If we want to walk closely with the Lord, we cannot do that apart from abiding in his word. In fact, abiding in his word is the catalyst for spiritual health in nearly every aspect of our lives. Jeremiah 2; 2 Kings 22

As we look at a famed vision given to the prophet Ezekiel amid some of Israel's darkest days, we will see God's promise to bring new life and hope into their situation and to all of us who are his. Ezekiel 37:1-14.

The birth of Jesus does not happen as we would expect, but it happens exactly as God planned. In fact, the way and the timing both demonstrate that God is in control the whole time. And this story provides a needed reminder that God works his way, on his time, and it’s always for the best.

Joseph faced an impossible situation, but when God revealed who the child was, everything changed. In the same way, when we truly see who Jesus is, it changes everything about how we live. Matthew 1:18-25

It is hard for us to conceive of life with no limits…and yet, what we find is that God does not have any limits regarding who he can use or what he can do, and the story of Jesus’s birth is a defining picture of that reality. Luke 1:26-38.

Many will miss the wedding feast of Christ and his bride (the church). Surprisingly, people won't miss the feast because they weren't invited; instead, they will miss it because they've either ignored the invitation or were unwilling to prepare for it. Join us as we close our Parables series. 

A Christian ought to reflect the love of Jesus in all of their actions. Join us as we look to the parable of the good Samaritan to show us how this is manifested in the life of the believer. Luke 10:25-37

Everyone struggles with the desire for having more than is needed, or with the fear of not having what we need. Jesus gives us a parable and a teaching that both warn us against the blinding effects of covetousness and the cripplying effects of anxiety. Luke 12:13-34

If we don’t realize that what impresses on earth is unimpressive in heaven, we will believe a lie and miss out on the Lord. What people naturally value is not the same as what God values. Therefore, we must look to the word and see what the Lord desires if we are to live a life that pleases him. Luke 16:19-31
