West End Assembly Of God

God created family and redeems us to be free and connected in family. The church is a family called by God to help our culture integrate into the Kingdom of God and into the church. In Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Small Groups are the best way to Find Community and Experience Christ. #family #smallgroups #church #community #freedom #confession #redemption #transformation #Jesus #CultureShock #GrowthTrack #sermon #series #WEAG #RVA #Richmond

If the church is to be Christ's body and a reflection and extension of His love, then believers must live in the culture of God's Kingdom. That starts with knowing Him ... His plan for us, His life for us, and His mission for us. A mission that we can choose to be a part of or in the way of. Lead Pastor Shane Schlesman describes this shock to the world's culture, and even the Church's, as he prepares the audience for a monthly recurring discipleship training series, called Growth Track. Be inspired to Know God like you've never known Him before by joining a class on the first Sunday of every month at 11:30a ET.

What is your purpose? On the heels of last week's message to 'Just Say No!' to the many options that distract us from God's perfect purpose for our lives, comes a message from Dr. Dave DeMasters on what to 'Just Say YES!' to. Your primary purpose on Earth is to be focused in one area with eternal impact. What is that focus? Why is it is so important to ourselves and others? And, how do we fulfill our purpose? Watch, re-watch, and share with all this final installment in this four-part series on the brevity of our lives ... mist. #sermon #series #mist #life #purpose #choices #distractions #peace #trust #God #meaning #lifestyle #productivity #rva #weag #richmond

God’s peace is on the other side of our trust! But, the things we say yes to can easily get in the way of His peace. Much of what we think we just gotta have is probably not what we need. We have permission, and even a necessity, to say no to distractions that fill our time and lead us astray because Jesus knows what we really need. When we instead say Yes to God's eternal priorities the blessings of burdens being lifted will make it even easier to just say no to everything else. Share in the comments what you just gotta have that you're willing to let go of and say no to ... that you'll trust God in delivering the peace you seek. #sermon #series #mist #life #purpose #choices #distractions #peace #trust #God #meaning #lifestyle #productivity #rva #weag #richmond

Is it possible to live a life with NO REGRETS?! How? It seems that regrets plague the past and minds of most everyone. Are they not an inescapable part of humanity?! There is a Redeemer who will not erase the past but will free us from the bondage of regret and guide us in living a life without fear of regret. In this widely applicable message, Lead Pastor Shane Schlesman steps through what we must do to allow God to overcome our regrets. Life is too short to live in the past and to allow the past to diminish our future. Break through the mist of life to live for eternity.

We see from Navy Hill's history the tragedy of injustice. The darkness of wrongs committed against one group of neighbors has ripple effects throughout a community and for many years. Fortunately, penetrating the darkness with the light of Jesus' love for all can have an even greater ripple effect. God calls us to be instruments of justice in Richmond and beyond. But, it requires personal sacrifice. Pastor Jeremy Woltz explains further and illustrates with specific examples of the life we are to lead in impacting our community. Luke 4:16-21 and Isaiah 58:6-12 provide inspiration for the future of Navy Hill... a future we can all have a hand in setting right. #sermon #series #CityOnAHill #Richmond #Virginia #RVA #injustice #justice #race #discrimination #history #future #present #Jesus #love #service #sacrifice #volunteer #community #neighbors

Some don’t believe in healing because it is easier to believe God cannot heal than to believe He chooses not to heal. True faith is giving your healing into God’s hands over and over, knowing He has the power to heal but not being sure if His timing is to heal you now.
