Feast Together

John 21: 4-14 We will look at the third resurrection appearance of Jesus in John. We will emphasize that Jesus provides and cares for the disciples, and focus on the importance of “table” fellowship; the togetherness and life we find at the table. 

The Big Reveal

Luke 24: 36-49 The Resurrected Jesus appears to the disciples showing fully who He is. Everything was leading up to this moment. Now that you know, what will you do with it? Full Service Link

Mary Anoints Jesus

John 12: 1-8 Sometimes accepting grace and help is hard. Jesus shows us how to receive a lavish gift. Mary seems to get it, when others don’t and she performs a moving act of worship.

The One Where the Band Breaks Up

Acts 15: 36-41 We will see how Barnabas was a friend willing to speak up and advocate for others, and we will be challenged to do the same. We will also explore the ins and outs of the dispute between Paul and Barnabas and how different values/perspectives can divide us even when we are both “right”.

The One with the Torn Robes

Job 2: 11-13 Friends show up in hard times. The one thing Job’s friends did right was to show up and sympathize with their friend. Sometimes “less is more” when it comes to our words for friends in times of grief. Like a good friend, Jesus is present with us in the hard moments. Full Service

The One Where the Rooster Crows

Matthew 26: 31-35 Jesus’s friends failed him just like ours do. Jesus knows rejection and hurt from friends, but he also loves and understands people enough to forgive and reconcile. This message will challenge us to remain in friendships and in Christian community, even when it is hard.

The One Where Jonathan Warns David

1 Samuel 20: 12-17 We will unpack the events of 1 Samuel 20, then explore the humble and sacrificial commitment Jonathan shows to David. Jonathan is willing to help David at the expense of his future, and he is willing to be second to him even though his birthright is to be first.

Say what you need to say

Matthew 18: 15-17 The Holy Resolution last week was to listen, now it is to speak. Now, we will look at Jesus’s teaching in Matthew from the traditional perspective in which we are the ones addressing the sin. We will see how speaking up can heal and make healthy relationships.  Full service link

Listen to Criticism

Matthew 18: 15-17 Stop being defensive! We will look at Jesus’s teaching on church discipline from the perspective of being the one called out for sin. We need to learn to listen to criticism and ask “what if this is true?” One of the hardest but most effective ways to gain wisdom and grow is to learn from the discipline and criticism of others.

The Greatest Sermon in the World

The Greatest Sermon in the World

1 Corinthians 2: 1-5  The past few months we have talked a lot about who we are and what membership at Westgate means. This message will explore the purpose/goals of a sermon. Generally speaking these are to help the listener; learn, change, be challenged, hear from God, and hear gospel.  Link to full service

Waiting Well

Isaiah 40: 27-31 Christians have been described as “people who wait” and we are currently in a season of waiting. We will explore how to wait well, what to do or not do as we wait, and why God makes us wait as all. Link to full service
