Humility. The life of John the Baptist is one who knows who he isn't, who he is because of who God says he is, and who Christ is. Advent teaches us Humility. We need a savior and Christ was born to save us. 

Repent is the word of Advent! Repentance is not just turning from our sin but turning to the greater love of God! John the Baptist's life teaches us in order to receive Jesus we must first repent! 

Take a listen as we discuss what to do in the midst of God's silence, why Christmas is on December 25th, how to be separate from the culture during the Holidays, and our favorite parts of Christmas and the Advent season! PLUS make sure to comment and tell us what you would title Jason's book that he hasn't written.... yet! If he selects your title, he promises to not pay you anything!

Did you know that the blank page in your bible between the old testament and the new testament represents 400 years of silence? That during that time no one on earth had recieved a new revelation from the Lord.   God's silence was finally broken by sending an angel to Zachariah.  The angel says that they have heard his prayers.... wow! What a beautiful way to end the silence.   Our Big Idea is this: God's silence does not equal God's absence.   Our God is always present and at work.  And when He is silent, it is way more about us than Him.  What do we do in the midst of the silence?

Take a listen as we recap The Upper Room Series and dive into Hearing God in Prayer.  Plus... If you listen for the banter, we brought the banter. Did you know Jason wanted to be Kevin Federline?

As we close our series, "The Upper Room", we take a minute and look back at all the things that God has done through this series, and OH MY GOODNESS! What a blessing! All because we "took the next step." When we look at John 17 we see Jesus pray. We can learn so much from his prayer. We see Jesus prays for himself, he prays for believers, and then prays for non-believers. The primary way that God forms us into disciples is through prayer, and communication is key to every relationship; Our relationship with God is no different!

Even in the midst of suffering, an upper room disciple can be filled with joy, love, and peace! 

Upper Room Disciples live holy lives because the Holy Spirit lives in them. 

What in our lives is separate and distinct from the world?  How do you feel and process conviction and condemnation? Would you rather cook the holiday meal or clean it up?   Let us know in the comments!

Christians are hated by the enemy. But...What is persecution? What is radical obedience? And how do we live lives set apart from the world?! Take a listen as we discuss the heavy AND the Holidays! 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 "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?

Get chummy with us as we interview the new, the wonderful, the talented and spirit filled, ADAM DELL!

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 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 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.

This week we celebrate Pastor Jason's 8th Year Anniversary here at West Side. Jason reflects on 8 things he has learned from his time here as Lead Pastor and shows us that following Jesus is a long obedience in the same direction. We are so thankful for the Jordan family and for showing us that the point of everything is to point to Jesus!

Revelation is a book of HOPE, not fear.  We are thankful that in the midst of our suffering we can look to our future. 

Join us today on the rest of the sermon as we listen to the staff process through the past couple of weeks at West Side.

As we continue in our Grief and Glory series, we learn how our grief is a part of our discipleship. We also learn that Hope is holding on to the fact that God is holding on to us.

This week we reflect on the 5 stages of grief and how Jesus is STILL faithful even when we are faithless. We use this time of grieving to glorify God and press in to Jesus while we honor the life of our beloved Johnathon Thurman.
