WestWay Christian Church

This Sunday we begin our new series, Unshackled: A Study Through Galatians by exploring the background of Paul’s letter—who he’s writing to, why it matters, and what’s at stake. Then, we’ll read the entire letter aloud, allowing the urgency and clarity of Paul’s words to set the tone. As we focus on Galatians 1:3–5, we’ll see that the gospel isn’t just the starting point of faith—it’s everything. Christ gave Himself to rescue us. The only question is: are we living free, or still holding on to chains He already broke?

The final prayer in this series is the ultimate act of surrender to God. Asking God to “Send us” reverses the typical requests that we pray to God. Instead of asking Him to do what we want, we are telling him that we will do as He wants. We often do not know where God will lead us when we pray this prayer. Its answer will host challenges and sufferings, but also immense joy. Jesus told the church to go make disciples of all nations. This is an individual calling to YOU, and a collective calling to US.

Jesus’ dangerous prayer in the garden, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” was a prayer of determined surrender, trust, and courage. It’s a dangerous prayer that calls us to let go and find strength for the journey ahead.

When we ask God to search us, we're courageously inviting God to search and expose what’s truly in our hearts—our fears, our sins, our self-deceptions—not to shame us, but to transform us. It’s a dangerous prayer of humility and surrender that says: 'God, show me what’s real, test me to reveal it, confront me with what offends you, and lead me in your way—because I trust your truth more than my own perception."

The Holy Spirit was never meant for a select few. At Pentecost, He filled believers and empowered them to proclaim the gospel in every language to every nation. This is the birth of the Church—unified by the Spirit, fueled by the mission, and sent to the world.

How do you know you belong to God? What does it really mean to be part of God’s family? How does the Holy Spirit change the way we see ourselves—and each other?

This week, we continue our series on the Holy Spirit by looking at Romans 8:15–17. The Spirit doesn’t lead us into fear—He leads us into family. He confirms our identity as God’s children and unites us as co-heirs with Christ.

In a world that tries to define us by everything else, the Spirit reminds us who we truly are—and who we belong to.<...

We all want to live differently—but how? How do we actually experience freedom from sin, not just talk about it? And what does it really mean to be led by the Spirit?  

This Sunday at WestWay, we’re continuing our series on the Holy Spirit with a powerful message from Romans 8:1–14. We’ll discover that life in the Spirit isn’t just possible—it’s essential. The Spirit doesn’t just help us try harder—He empowers us to live in true freedom.

Come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and reminded:

Have you ever wished God would just make things clearer? In John 16, Jesus tells His disciples that some truths won’t make sense until later—until the Holy Spirit comes. Why? Because the Spirit doesn’t just inform us; He transforms us. He convicts us of sin, reveals what’s right, and prepares us for judgment—not to shame us, but to shape us into the likeness of Jesus. This week, we’ll talk about how the Holy Spirit leads us into truth, glorifies Jesus, and helps us discern—both personally and as a church.

Jesus promised that He would not leave us as orphans—and He kept that promise through the gift of the Holy Spirit. As we begin our new series, The Spirit-Filled Life, we’re learning not just what the Holy Spirit does, but who He is: the Spirit who stays. In John 14, Jesus comforts His disciples with the truth that the Holy Spirit would not only be among them, but would live in them. This marks a fundamental shift—from God’s presence being temporary and external in the Old Testament to being permanent and internal in the New. Now, because...

The world will attack our identity and who we are, but our identity is not found in this world, it’s found in being a child of God. 

God didn’t design us to go it alone. From the very beginning, He created us for connection—with Him and with each other. That design finds its fullest expression in the church—not just as a place we go, but as a people we commit to.

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the heart of the gospel: Jesus didn’t wait for us to clean ourselves up—He came for us while we were still sinners. His death wasn’t just a moment in history—it was the decisive act that broke sin’s power and opened the way to new life. In love, not condemnation, God sent His Son to save us. This is resurrection hope: we are fully known, fully loved, and fully invited into new life through Jesus. The only question now is—will we receive it? 

On Sunday, we'll see Jesus enter Jerusalem, completely trusting the Father's will. We'll see the disciples obey without full understanding. We'll see the crowds praise with a shallow trust and the Pharisees reject him outright. Palm Sunday challenges us to ask, "Who do we trust, and what does this trust look like in our lives?"

The Passover was not just an event in Israel’s history—it was a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Just as the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites from judgment, only the blood of Christ can cover and redeem us today. Will we trust fully in His sacrifice and live in the freedom it brings?

The God who calls us, loves us, and keeps us is worthy of our worship.

 Jude gives the church the tools needed to defend the faith against false teachers.

False teachers are not a new problem; Scripture warns us about their presence and influence.

Jude calls the church to contend for the faith in the face of ungodly influences.

The things we’re going through right now—the struggles, the setbacks, the suffering—aren’t random. Daniel 12 pulls back the curtain on the future, revealing that trials are not just obstacles; they are opportunities. Opportunities to be purified. To be cleansed. To be refined. And in the end? Glory. Resurrection. Eternal life. But here’s the question: will we face these trials with the wisdom God gives, or will we stumble through them blindly? The God who calls us to endure is the same God who equips us. Through His Word. Through His people. Through His Spirit. The world is unravelin...

History never surprises God. Kings rise, kingdoms crumble, wars rage—and He already knows the script. Daniel 11 lays it all out in jaw-dropping detail, proving that nothing catches Him off guard. But here’s the thing: God doesn’t just know. He warns. He cares enough to put up flashing lights, telling His people, This won’t be easy. Stay awake. Stand firm. Because evil doesn’t just march through history—it presses in on you, too. And when it does, your defense isn’t fear or frantic scrambling. It’s knowing who you are. You belong to the God who sees, who...

God is a God who hears us, draws near to us, and fights for us.

Daniel’s prayer life was both prompted and shaped by Scripture. God’s response to Daniel's prayer offers hope, as He grants both immediate and long-term promises, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. 

God is in control of history. This week, we’ll talk about how this chapter reminds us of God’s sovereignty, His ultimate victory, and our role in His plan.

Let's celebrate what God's done in 2024 and look ahead to 2025 and beyond.

Parents are called to faithfully disciple their children by living out their faith with love, power, and self-discipline, and trusting God with the results. 

Faithfulness is action. 

Prayer, Praise, and Proclaiming God’s faithfulness help us remember that He is in control as we align our actions and desires with His will.

God has given us what we need to thrive and grow in all circumstances.

God’s desire is for us to thrive and grow, no matter what challenges we face.
