West Side's Podcast

This week in "The Upper Room" we see that an Upper Room disciple is hated by the enemy. We can define the enemy as 3 things: The Flesh, Satan and Demons, and The World. As a 21st Century Christian we find ourselves comfortable with our faith and forget that being a Christian is a radical thing! We ask ourselves "Do we as a church really experience the type of opposition that Jesus is talking about?" and "Does our love and obedience to Jesus cost us anything?". Radical obedience is motivated by REAL love. What radical step of obedience is Jesus leading YOU to take?

This week in our series we look at John 15: 1-17. We see that Upper Room Disciples are fruitful in their lives by making their home in Jesus! The closer we are to Jesus, the better our lives will. The further we are from Jesus the worse our lives will be. Can we change our lives? Yes, but being at home in Jesus is the only way we can!

What comes to mind when you think of the Holy Spirit? Do you think of Experiences? Do you think of truth? Do you think of a Helper? Let's talk about it!

This week in our series we examine John 14: 15-31. We see that Upper Room Disciples are helped by the Holy Spirit to hold on to God's commandments. In order to understand this we ask the questions: Who is the Holy Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit do? and How do we get the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the Power and Presence of Jesus living inside the people of God, and the good news of the gospel is that Jesus gave up his Spirit so that we may have the Holy Spirit in our supernatural life!

This week in "The Upper Room" we look at John 14: 1-14. In the scripture we see that Upper Room Disciples are hopeful in heart when we hold onto the promises of God. We define Hope as the confident expectation that what God has said, will happen! All through this chapter we see many promises of God, and we can rest on these promises when we find our hearts troubled. 

On this episode of The Rest of the Sermon we take a look at the commandment in John chapter 13 to "love one another". This episode is Sponsored by: Matt Phillips at First Choice Insurance 573-686-2870 mphillips@fcins.net Smart Marketing 573-840-0334 https://getsmart.marketing/

This week in our series "The Upper Room" we see what it looks like to Love One Another. As we look in John 13: 31-38, we see that there are four points when it comes to Love. We find that Love is not a feeling, but a commandment, and that we cannot love until we first receive love from Jesus!

We had a guest speaker this past Sunday at West Side, Alex Clark! It was a great sermon that you can check out on our website or facebook. Today, we take some time to dive into Grace and Truth. Take a listen! *This Episode of "The Rest of the Sermon" is sponsored by Matt Phillips at First Choice Insurance in Poplar Bluff, MO.* mphillips@fcins.net (573) 686-2870

This week we take a pause on "Upper Room" sermon series and welcome a special guest Alex Clark to share his story. We look at Simon Peter through Luke's gospel to see that God can always do more. Alex also shares his story about his family and their son Judah, and how God uses life's interruptions as His interactions!

This week on the Rest of the Sermon we talk about the wise, the foolish, and the evil as well as some big things that are coming up this month as we "Fall" into October!

This week in our sermon series "The Upper Room" we see that disciples are honest about sin because of our hope in our savior, Jesus Christ! In the scripture we see that although Judas was close in proximity to Jesus, that does not mean that he was intimate with him. We can define sin as complete and total self-absorption at the cost of everything else, including God, but the beautiful thing is: There is more grace, love, and mercy in Jesus Christ than there is sin in us!

As we dive into the text of John 13 we find that Humble Service is the mark of EVERY Disciple. In this episode, we find that through scripture we are never too busy to serve and although it is hard, Jesus even served Judas! We as Christians also cannot humbly serve until we have been humbled BY service and that our salvation is our motivation to serve. Lastly, Jesus tells us that there is blessing in serving and carrying out God's word!

CALLING ALL DISCIPLES! Join us today as we begin our new sermon series "The Upper Room"! In this series we will go through the book of John 13-17. Today we look through Luke's gospel to see who was in the room and who wasn't in the room and we see that Jesus would rather make an impact on a few disciples than take on the masses and have influence.

As we close our mini series we see that Jesus asks us "What Do You Want?" As Christians, we often think that it's just about our Words and Works, but the test of a mature disciple is our Wants. In this episode we see that our deepest desires of Belonging, Security, and Significance are taken care of by God's love and provision.
