2026.09.20 Sermon: Jesus is for Every(one)

Image
Westside Family Church Jesus is for Every(One) Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Notes:    Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16 How is this Happening? Gospel planting. Community development. Caring for vulnerable children. One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you. For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. Romans ...

Image
Westside Family Church Jesus Is The (ONE) Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Notes:  Love Jesus. Become like Jesus. Share Jesus. (God) wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes… Romans 1:16 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people . Titus 2:11 Notes:  POINT 1: JESUS IS THE ONE When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi , he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”  “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Si...

2026.09.06 Sermon: Build Your Life

  Westside Family Church Build Your Life Pastor: Randy Frazee Notes:  Fill in the blank: How do we build our lives on a foundation of rock? #1 – We must hear the words of Jesus. So then, faith come by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 Practicing Christians: More than 2 in 3 (68%) are Scripture Engaged, meaning a smaller minority are disengaged.   Casual Christians: Only 23% qualify as Scripture Engaged, leaving the majority disengaged or in the movable middle.  Nominal Christians: Just 8% qualify as Scripture Engaged, meaning roughly 92% are not actively engaged with the Bible by their metric.  “I believe the Bible is the Word of God that guides my beliefs and actions." “I read the Bible to know God, the truth, and to find direction for my daily life.”  Jesus said, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and p...

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

Image
  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

Image
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...
