Westside PG

This week, Tyler Alspaugh shares from Psalm 119:9–16 about what it really means to "keep your way pure" ... spend time with God. It’s an honest look at how relationships, worship, and time in His Word shape our hearts and keep us walking close to Him.

Our guest today is Matt Jaggers. Matt and his wife Josie work with FamilyLife Canada to strengthen marriage relationships. Today he focusses on mentoring by asking us to look beyond ourselves. He starts by referencing such Biblical relationships as Abraham and Lot, Moses and Joshua, and Paul and Timothy before transitioning to John Mark and his relationship to both Paul and Barnabas. This is a message that encourages all of us to become a mentor or find a mentor for ourselves.

Continuing the theme of our 2025 Women's Conference, Pastor Lucas Chance speaks on the "Sovereignty of God".

Westside elder, George Krahn, encourages us to be superheroes by supporting the real superheroes - missionaries on the ground in countries around the world. You can support local missions like The New Life Centre, Salvation Army Food Bank or overseas missions like The Bud Centre in Sri Lanka and Pastor Paul's ministry in Kenya. Another easy avenue to be a missionary is sending a shoebox through Operation Christmas Child!

Pastor Lucas Chance returns to the pulpit with a few months' worth of stuff to talk about. From the truth of the Word of God to the reality of what's happening in the world around us.

Pastor Paul Ndungu from InTouch Ministries, Kenya, joins us today. Basing his message on Philippians 4:6-7 he reminds us that we serve a God of peace.

Tom Birch takes us through the Bible and up to our most recent portion of the New Testament. He begins by pointing out some verses from Rich Mullins' song "Awesome God" to highlight themes of creation, salvation, and humanity's response to divine grace. The message is titled "Heaven".

Today's guest speaker is George Krahn, challenging us to obey Jesus' commands to love our fellow believers, neighbours, and even our enemies.

Scripture:

John 13:34-35

(34) “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. (35) By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

---

Romans 12:10

(10) Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

---

Luke 10:25-29

(25) On one occasion, an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (26) “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” (27) He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (28) “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” (29) But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

---

Luke 10:36-37

(36) “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

(37) The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

---

Luke 6:27-36

(27) “But to you who are listening, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (28) bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

(29) If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. (30) Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. (31) Do to others as you would have them do to you.

(32) “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. (33) And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. (34) And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. (35) But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. (36) Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Tyler Alspaugh returns with a look at how God's grace has continued to be available to us throughout history.
