Between Two Advents - Week 2 - Luke 2:8-21
This week in our Advent series we light the candles for Love, and we see that Advent reminds us the "Word" became flesh to rescue us from our brokenness.
Unchain the Joy - Philippians 4:10-13
As we close our mini series we see the final key to "Unchain the Joy" is contentment. The secret to our joy is trusting in the Strength of our God.
Unchain The Joy - Week 1 - Philippians 3:7-9
Join us as we start a new mini series "Unchain the Joy: Holiness over Happiness". In the season of family activities and holidays we look at where our joy comes from. Our greatest joy is found in gaining Christ!
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 7 - Matthew 28:16-20
As we close our series "Thy Will Be Done?" we look at the Great Commission. The authority of God's Son, Jesus, is the foundation for God's people to accomplish God's Will.
Thy Will Be Done? Week 6 Luke 22:39-46
This week we see that the process of discerning God's will for our lives is found in prayer. Prayer is the primary way to process our will from God's Will.
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 5 - Romans 12:1-2
This week we see that God gives His people His wisdom, by giving us His Spirit. The Holy Spirit guides the believers every step.
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 4 - Hebrews 4:12-13
This week we learn some practical tools to discerning God's Will through God's Word. The Bible is the lens through which we look at all of life's desicions.
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 3 - Proverbs 3:1-8, 11-12
This week we see that We as Christians are able to discern anything in our lives when we trust God with everything in our lives!
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 2 - Hebrews 5:11-14
This week we learn about discernment. We see that God's Will is that we would grow towards maturity by developing discernment.
Thy Will Be Done? - Week 1 - Psalm 40:6-8
This week we see that God's Will is that we live God's way as revealed in God's Word for the glory of God's Son, Jesus!
Thy Will Be Done? - Intro Ephesians 5:15-17
Am I Doing God's Will? By far is THE MOST asked question among Christians. In this series we break it do we know and why is it important. This week we "set the table" and lay down some framework for this series. Our Goal for this series is a disciples deepest joy is found in discovering and doing God's Will.

Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 5:1-16
This week, as we continue our series, we see that in God's household we care for each other with grace and honor.
Pillars of Truth // 1 Timothy 4:6-16
Success is like Godliness... it's not random!
Our Big Idea this week is the The Gospel + Discipline = Godliness!
Take a listen to hear all about how we should "eat and exercise" and what we should ELIMINATE and REPLACE!
Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:16-4:5
This week as we continue our "Pillars of Truth" series we see that Christians are called to keep the gospel pure from the enemy's pollution.
// The Rest of the Sermon // Pillars of Truth - Week 9

Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:14-16
This week we learn what it means to be the "Church" and the Body of Christ. The Big Idea is that how we behave as Christians is rooted in who we are, the Church.
Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:8-17
As we continue in our series we look at the church structure and the office of Deacon. The scripture outlines the responsibilites and qualifications of this position and how it differs from the office of Elder. The big idea is that the church will not grow beyond it's leadership structure. Health is more important than growth!
Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:1-7
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?"

Psalms of Summer - Psalm 23 Part 2
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.
Psalms of Summer - Psalm 23 - Part 1
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!
// The Rest of the Sermon // The Godly Father
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.

The Rest of the Sermon // Pillars of Truth // 1 Timothy 2:8-15 Part 2
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?!

Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 2:8-15 Part 2
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?
The Rest of the Sermon // Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 2:8-15
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!

Pillars of Truth - 1 Timothy 2:8-15 Part 1
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!
The Rest of the Sermon // Stacking the Stones
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!
