Westside Sermons

You were designed to serve. What does this mean in the context of the local church and how does your serving reflect Christ? Join us as we tackle the importance of serving in the church.  

God's design for church leadership is a topic that many people disagree on. What is a pastor? How does scripture define a pastor? Is there a difference between pastors and deacons? These questions must be answered before answering the big question, "What is God's design for church leadership?" As we look to God's blueprint, the Bible, we see the pastor role defined and ultimately how we can best reflect the kingdom of 
God through the church's leadership structure.

Why does Jesus command us to observe the Lord's supper? On the surface, it can seem like a strange concept. But when we dive deep, we will see what the Lord's supper reminds us of. 

How and when should you get baptized? Why is it important to get baptized? Do you have to get baptized to go to heaven?

These are all questions that the Bible answers clearly. In this sermon, we will examine the passages about baptism and discover how our baptism illustrates Christ's ultimate baptism from death on the cross to resurrected life.

You are designed to gather. In this sermon, you will learn why the local congregational gathering of the universal church is critical in your life as a follower of Christ.

What is the church designed to do? To answer this question, we must look at who it was made by, what it was made of, and who it was made for. The church is critical in unifying the body of believers. Join us as we kick off week one of "Blueprints".

What helped Emmitt Smith lead the NFL in all-time rushing yards? Daryl Johnston cleared a path for him. Who are you clearing a path for on your journey? What are you doing to care for and advance the kingdom of God in your circle of influence? This sermon takes a look at the importance of discipline in our lives and in the church. 

The Christian life is one that requires endurance. In the New Testament, Paul talks a lot about running races. Are you running a race? Where are you drawing your strength? This sermon dives deep into running your race with endurance.

Have you ever asked God, "Why?" Sometimes, God doesn't make sense to us. Why would he let someone have cancer? How could he use that suffering? Through Hebrews 11, we see how powerful faith is.

Faith says yes to God every single time. During this sermon you will see the story and character of Moses as he acted by faith to bring glory to the kingdom of God.
