  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...

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 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...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

  Westside Family Church Summer on the Mount Week 1: The Good Life Pastor: Jonathan Hansen THE GOOD LIFE Matthew 4:23–5:12 Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are the meek. Jesus announces that the good life is already available to you (right now, today) in His kingdom—even if your circumstances never change. So here's the question I want you carrying into this whole series: what if we've spent our lives pursuing happiness in places that were never capable of giving it to us? Notes: Christian:  3 times in the Bible! Disciple: being a student at the foot of Jesus (260 times!) These days, we look as "Happiness" is achieving something. Needs to pursue, achieved.  (The Pursuit of Happiness (Declaration of Independence) // Will Smith) True Happiness is available to US today! Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: "Blessed are th...
