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...

2026.08.30 Sermon: Rival Gods

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...

Westside Family Church Made For Adventure Pastor Jonathan Hanson Notes:  Ernest Shackleton (1914) https://heartstonejourney.com/men-wanted-for-hazardous-journey/ Men wanted for hazardous journey. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success. We do not want the safest option - we want the meaningful option . Men are not primarily created for safety. Created for battle for the world.  That desire for adventure, not a character flaw - we should cultivate "Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue." - John Eldredge STAND FIRM Part 4: Made for Adventure Genesis 12 & 22  |  Matthew 25:14–30 Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success. John Eldredge says, “Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battl...

2026.04.19 Sermon Notes: Why Is Jesus The Only Way?

Westside Family Church Why Is Jesus The Only Way Pastor Jonathan Hansen (Triish's last Sunday in worship will be Sunday, April 26, 2026.---She is moving to Dallas, TX!) Notes:  1 Peter 3:15 In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for he hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect When we are dealing with life or death consequences, persuasion becomes an act of love. Eventually the tornados of life and death and suffering, and t ragedy will come our way, and when it does, it will hit like a freight train. And then we start to ask the big questions… What are the apologetics? 1. Why are we here? 2. How did this whole thing happen? 3. What happens after we die? 4. How do I make sense of pain and suffering? 5. What's the purpose of my life? These questions are so important because if we understand the BEGINNING of the story (where we came from) and the END of the story (where we are going)...
