2026.08.30 Sermon: Rival Gods

-
Image
Westside Family Church Rival Gods Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Notes:  Jesus talks about money more than anything else: our heart, forgiveness, heaven/hell, etc. Money is a heart issue!  He wants us to see that everything in our lives flows from our hearts. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy , your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad , your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matthew 6:19–24 Matthew 4:17: N...

2026.08.23 Sermon: A Misunderstood Invitation

  Westside Family Church A Misunderstood Invitation Pastor: JJ Lane Matthew 6:5-6 ESV  “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Jesus isn’t after our performance. He’s after our heart. Notes:  Billy Graham wishes he prayed more. The invitation to pray is not to pray more. The intention of prayer is to pray close #1 - Prayer isn’t a performance.  Matthew 6:7-8 ESV  "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Notes:  Performative Runners #2 - Prayer isn’t transactional. Pray...

2026.08.16 Sermon: Eyes on the Road

-

Westside Family Church Eyes On The Road Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Bucketlist Item! Highway 1 down the coast of California. Notes :  Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13–14 The kingdom of heaven is not just a future destination, it’s a present reality He's inviting you into today.  Sincerity doesn't determine your destination. Who you're actually following does. Grace gets you on the road. The hard road is the good road. You’ll Never Walk It Alone Notes:  1. GRACE GETS YOU ON THE ROAD Enter by the narrow gate.  Matthew 7:13 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. John 10:9 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us ...

2026.08.09 Sermon: The Peace for Anxious Minds

-
Image
Westside Family Church The Peace For Anxious Minds Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Notes:  Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall w...

2026.08.02 Sermon Notes: The Battlefield Within

Westside Family Church THE BATTLEFIELD WITHIN :  Fighting for Freedom in a World Built on Fantasy Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Communion 🍞 🍷Sunday  We live and die by the God's Word.  We go wherever the Bible takes us!    This generation has MORE ACCESS to fantasy; to pornography than ever before! You have heard that it was said, ' You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:27–30 The Odyssey; fed the lotus, daily, forgets the pain of his past.   Lust and Fantasy does the same thing. Odysseus on Calypso never f...

2026.07.26 Sermon Notes: From 'It' To 'Thou'

Westside Family Church Summer on the Mount   Week 2: From 'It' To 'Thou' Pastor Dan Deeble 21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ (aramaic term: idiot) is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be ...

2026.07.19 Sermon Notes: Wholehearted

Westside Family Church Summer on the Mount ⚽World Cup Finals👟🥅 (Argentina vs. Spain)⚽ Week 2: Wholehearted Pastor: Jonathan Hansen   Notes:  You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven . Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others ...
