This week we will take a look at how ‘Making Jesus Known’ is not just the mission statement of Westside, but the purpose and mission for all of humanity and even God himself.

Life & Labour - Part 1
Speaker: Joseph Peterson
Date: Sept 2, 2018
Text: John 17:14-16
In part 1 of this series, we will unpack John 17 by looking at following Jesus. What does it mean to follow Jesus. Put another way, we’re answering the question, “If I follow Jesus, what should I expect?” “Based on the life and teaching of Jesus, what sort of life does He call his followers to?” Is it a giant list of do’s and don’ts, is it easy, or comfortable, make your life better, awesome, terrible, or something different altogether? What should mark us as citizens of the Kingdom of God living in Vancouver?

How do I know God loves me?
“I know that God loves me because ...” - We may naturally answer this question based on our performance, success, health or a myriad of different ways. But is there a more solid ground for our hope that we are loved by God? 1 John teaches that the answer is a resounding YES. Specifically, we know that we are loved by God through God the Son, Jesus, manifesting the love of God through his life and, supremely, through His death on the cross in our place. God’s love has been clearly manifested through Jesus, and as this love grounds and transforms our hearts, we love others with a self-sacrificial, humble love as a response. And as we love one another as we have been loved, we reveal God’s love for those around us who desperately need it. In so doing, we make Jesus Known.

Throughout the New Testament we encounter descriptions that depict the Christian Church as being The Body of Christ, and we see many instances where instructions and commands are not directed toward the individual, but rather the community. This week we look at the origin, design, plan behinds God’s structuring of this community, and we encounter the purpose and mission of God in uniting Christians together in this way.

The Love of God
Speaker: Matt Menzel
Date: Mar 23 2014
Text: John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:1-11
Volumes have been written on humanity's need and desire to feel loved. Love motivates us, terrifies us, and can paralyze us. In a world like this the truth that 'God loves you' often falls on deaf ears. What does that even mean? How can we know that His love is for real? As we move toward the Easter season and the celebration of Jesus' resurrection we need to first pause and consider the fullest manifestation of God's love to us: the incarnation.
