Westside Family Church What's Your Over/Under? Pastor: Dan Deeble Read Ephesians 6 Respecting your father (parents); offer an apology. Momma Deeble! It matters how Men show up in the world. Strong (toxic masculinity)---------------------------------Sensitive (Emasculated, weak) What is Looks-Maxxing, physique just right, spraying too much Axe Body Spray. Gym-maxxing Maxxing - Masking - Insecurity Question of Identity We need boys who are gentle at a dance and heroic in a shipwreck.  -- GK Chesterton Centurion: occupier, tax-taker, cheapter,  Luke 7:1-10 1 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2  There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.  3  The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant .  4  When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this,...

Westside Family Church Building Bonfires: Cultivating A Life Lived For God Pastor: Jonathan Hansen Notes:  Building a life with God, takes work! I. CLEARING THE LAND Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles , and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 Sin entangles our lives and drags us down.  There are things we have to cut away. The Lord will cut some things from our lives! Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful . John 15:2 This reframes the pain of clearing. It's not punishment, it's preparation. God cuts things away that need to be thrown into a burn pile. This is part of his work in our lives. "Midway along the journey of life (midlife crisis) , I woke to find myself in a dark wood, for I had wandered off from the straight path. How hard it is to tell what it was like—this wood of wilderness, savage and stubborn. A bitter place. Death could scarce be worse.” ~D...

Westside Family Church Hold The Line: Three Battles Every Man Must Win Pastor: Jonathan Hansen N otes:  Faith should NOT be domesticated.  The bears at the zoo verses Kings Cave, bear can, 20-30 yards away.  See the stars where there is no light pollution. Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men (be courageous), be strong. Let all you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NIV) But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 (NIV) My thesis: If you win the internal battle of the soul, you can win the external battles of work and the relational battles at home. But if you lose the inner war, the rest of your life eventually crumbles. The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the s...

Westside Family Church Seen and Strengthened: A Mother's Day Message For Every Season Pastor(s): Jonathan and Lindsey Hansen  Notes:  Capable - Strong - Praiseworthy High School Sweethearts, Atlanta, GA - met @ 17 years old. So many different stories represented on Mother's Day at Church. There are principles in God's Word.   God is with you - sees you and knows you. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. Psalm 3:3 Jesus is here and he is with us! Billy Graham: "Suffering shouldn't make us bitter people - instead, it should make us better comforters for others." Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me . I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Ruth 1:20-21 Naomi feels like the road ahead is impassable.  Have we come to a season as this? navigating, a job c...

Westside Family Church   Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen? 2026.05.03 (I didn't attend--migraine and slept through service, watched on 05.09.2026) Pastor JJ Lane Jesus ENTERED suffering Jesus DEFEATED suffering Jesus is PRESENT in suffering And Jesus will END suffering Notes:  God, why do bad things happen?  Maybe you showed up to church hoping someone can answer the question for me? Can JJ give us the right answer; stories, represented in our church family?  I wish JJ could answer the question so you can have a relationship with God. He can't even do it for himself.  Why? JJ's wife and his miscarriage. What is he certain of? Betting his entire life on--- I have hope and that hope has a name.  That name is Jesus! Why do bad things happen to good people? If suffering is meaningless, then what hope do we have? There's no justice, no redemption; we just have to live with the suffering of this world. If suffering is meaningless, why does it feel so wrong? ...
