The Sermons of Pastor Scott Julian
West Hills Church & Scott Julian
Scott Julian teaching. Mark chapter 13:24-37 highlights the urgency for followers to stay alert and faithful amid distractions. Jesus speaks of cosmic signs indicating the end times, urging readiness without speculation. He emphasizes the lasting nature of God's covenant and the mystery of his return. Through parables, he calls for active participation in God's kingdom and invites those uncertain in their faith to embrace salvation, reminding all of their collective responsibility to remain vigilant.
Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen Even mature believers can find their faith shattered by life's apparent injustices. In Psalm 73, worship leader Asaph takes us on one of Scripture's most honest spiritual journeys—from envying the prosperity of the wicked to nearly abandoning his faith entirely. Yet through divine grace and eternal perspective gained in God's sanctuary, Asaph discovers that God Himself is the believer's greatest treasure. This powerful exposition explores how authentic faith isn't the absence of doubt, but the conquest of doubt through God's unchanging character and promises.
Featured Teacher: Pastor Daniel Christensen In this message from Exodus 27:1–8, we explore the bronze altar—the first structure encountered in the tabernacle courtyard and the theological gateway to God's presence. Through blood, fire, and sacrifice, God teaches that sin must be atoned for before fellowship can begin. The altar's design, materials, and portability point forward to Jesus Christ, our final priest, sacrifice, and altar. We see that true worship begins with substitution and culminates in surrender. The only path to God is through the cross, where judgment meets mercy and sinners are welcomed into grace. Where there's smoke, there's atonement—and hope.
In this message from Psalm 71, we explore the faith of the aging saint who, though physically weak, remains spiritually strong and joyfully defiant. David, now old and beset by enemies, refuses to retire from praise. Instead, he testifies to God's lifelong faithfulness and commits to proclaiming His power to the next generation. This psalm reminds us that usefulness in the kingdom doesn't expire with age, and that God's covenant care spans from the womb to the grave. Whether young or old, we are called to a life of continual hope, courageous testimony, and increasing praise—even to the end.
