The closing portion of the Lord’s Prayer - Give us daily bread. Forgive us as we forgive. Lead us and deliver us. - is often thought of as three or four independent ideas. But in this teaching we discover that these words are all leading us to one crucial question: Do we actually want the good things God wants to give us?

In this teaching we explore the opening lines of the Lord's Prayer. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. When we pray, we pray to a God who is holy and set apart and yet loves us intimately as a Dad loves his kids.

Every young person is just one caring adult away from a meaningful and significant life. Josh Shipp and Steve will talk about the adults who help shape them at a critical time in their lives when it mattered most.

What could this next generation be? What could this next generation do? How do we help get them there? Ryan plans on highlighting the need to care for the “next generation”, showing that if care is not taken, great consequences have happened in bible. He is also going to walk thru several MAIN stories of the bible that have been led by TEENS.

Each year on the last weekend of Compassion Immersion Steve talks about the life of a missionary who left their mark on the world by listening to what God asked them to do and having the courage to carry it out. This year he’ll tell us about George Müller who opened many orphanages in England and inspired others to the same.

Victory in the storms of life is a choice between faith and fear. We much choose to put our trust in the promises of God instead of letting fear be our master.

As a church are we becoming a museum, a monument or a mission? Religion is at its purest when we honor God with our lives and when we take care of the least in society. What do you see around you or around the world that distresses you or excites you to action?

The people of WestGate are a generous people. This week we’ll celebrate the fruits of our giving over the past year. Yet, is there more? What would happen in our communities and on our planet if we committed to serving one on one, face to face with one another for one another one more time during the next year? Could we change a bit of our world?

When life becomes a complete mess, moving toward God in authentic worship will radically change your perspective. The symphony of praise in heaven in the book of Revelation can show us how to worship Jesus with more than our music. We must worship with everything that is in us.

What is honor? Who does our culture honor and what does Jesus’ life show us about true honor and humility? We’ll unpack that as we look at the writing of Paul to the Philippians.

We’ve learned to make light of our pain, to minimize it, ignore it and treat is as meaningless. In contrast we’ll look at how one of the Psalmists confronts his pain and see how, through his lament, his pain intersects with God’s presence and power.

Hezekiah, King of Judah, set his heart on God and God delivered him from his enemies. What can we learn from Hezekiah’s desperation and God’s faithful response?

Confession is crucial in how we deal with sin, it is needed in directing our living, and it enhances our understanding of God’s grace.

Most of us come to worship irregularly and with little or no preparation. In fact we prepare against any worship. We stay up late, fight with our friends and families, drag our kids. We are consistently and regularly prepared for distraction, not worship. We’ll look at what the Hebrews did to prepare themselves for worship.

Father’s Day means all sorts of thing to all sorts of people. Some believe that God knows us only as our earthly fathers know us. But what if we could really see that that God sees us as His beloved? How would that change us?

Steve fielded questions live during service. He also addressed questions that were submitted throughout this serie

Jesus destroyed death by rising from the dead, then he ascended into heaven. But what did the ascension of Jesus look like? Who saw it and what does it mean for us?

Jesus’ resurrected life gives us a glimpse of what it will be like for us. We’ll look at snapshots of the resurrected Jesus, what that means for us and what we’re to do until then.

The most common questions about heaven deal with when and where. In this week's teaching we look at the interaction between Jesus and the thief on the cross in Luke 23, to discover not only the when and where of heaven but most importantly the who.
