West Side's Podcast

We are back in our "Pillars of Truth" series with the Big Idea that the local church will not progress beyond the spiritual maturity of it's leaders. We can ask ourselves "What if everyone in my church served, loved, and prayed like me?"

Start your weekend off in the most wonderful way and join us for a special episode of "The Rest of the Sermon" as we interview and gain wisdom from Missy Pogue, Director of Recycling Grace in Poplar Bluff. Her brief history and testimony Sunday was just the tip of the iceberg of what we could learn from this amazing woman. Make sure to take a listen and show her some love in the comments!

This week we welcome some very special guests, Recycling Grace Women's Center, to share their testimonies. RGWC is a local ministry that helps women break the chains off addiction and places them on the firm foundation of Christ's unconditional and unfailing love!

We just finished up our 2 week mini series through one of the most well known passages, Psalm 23. Join Alex, Nikki, and Jon as they talk all about the series, the 4th of July, and a few of those would-you-rathers that y'all love so much.

As we continue our mini series "Psalms of Summer", we finish studying the famous Psalm 23. The Big Idea this week is the Shepherd (Jesus) will keep us by His side for all times.

We take a pause on our "Pillars of Truth" series and study Psalm 23, arguable the most well known psalm! The Big Idea this week is that our Shepherd (Jesus) gives us exactly what we need, when we need it!

We spent Father's Day taking a break from our normal sermon series and seeing what the bible says about Fatherhood. Take a listen as we recap and expand on it. Plus all the banter and would-you-rathers your heart can handle.

On this episode of The Rest of the Sermon we keep diving into 1 Timothy 2:8-15 and go deeper into what Paul isn't saying, what he is saying, and how we live in light of that. This is a hard text to wrestle with so we HIGHLY encourage you to shoot us an email at info@westsidepb.org, send us a text at (573) 877-7333, call the church, send a facebook message, attach a note to a carrier pigeon, whatever you prefer! And ask those hard questions! We want to walk through this WITH YOU! Don't think just because it's a hard hitting text that we forgot to bring all the banter and silly questions. We've got loads of those plus we really want to know, John Wick or Jason Bourne? And who is your 007?!

As we continue with part 2 of Paul's letter to Timothy and these particularly difficult passage, we see that the Church shines brightest when it operates under God's divine order. Big questions require big work and to do this we carefully and prayerfully let scripture interpret scripture. We analyze different viewpoints on what Paul means in this text as well as see what exactly he is and isn't saying. In light of this text we see that 1 Timothy 2 holds us accountable to our view of the scriptures. We ask ourselves do we have the humble boldness to stand against the ever changing culture with the never changing scripture?

On Sunday we started breaking down the difficult text of 1 Timothy 2:8-15. We got to cover the first part of this two part sermon on the podcast and ended up having a great time doing so. We have some great banter, introspective would-you-rathers, and insight to the text that's helpful instead of hurtful. Please send in all your questions from this text, the sermon, and even this podcast! We want to answer all your questions!

We pick back up in our Pillars of Truth series as we look at 1 Timothy chapter 2. This scripture can be a tough one so we are taking our time and prayerfully and deliberately moving through this text in two parts. Men and Women are both EQUALLY VITAL in the life of the church and Paul tells us how!

This week we took a break from our ongoing series and heard a stand alone sermon through Joshua 4 entitled "Stacking the Stones". So, on this episode, we told our stone stacking stories. Ones that were told to us and ones that we lived. We laugh, we cry, and we have a great time on this one. It's potentially our longest podcast yet! We also have an absurd amount of Would-you-Rathers that seem to just keep getting weirder and weirder. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
