Her legacy reminds us that when we live faithfully, God can work through us in ways we might never expect.

    Scripture makes it abundantly clear that Christ will return. As His followers, how can we wait well?   Jesus gave us a clear commission: to proclaim His Gospel to the ends of the Earth. At the same time, Christ cautions us against trying to predict His return—only the Father knows the time. Instead, He calls us to live with steadfast hope, pursuing holiness, godliness, and joyful obedience.  Tune in to discover how you can live a hope-filled life in light of Jesus' promised return.

    The message of Easter tells us that Jesus defeated death, rose from the grave, and ascended into Heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God. This is a powerful story, but if we're honest, the thought of Christ's ascension can be a confusing idea.  So, what does His ascension really mean? Listen in as we talk about how God's plan for our Savior resulted in Jesus ruling over us with intention, interceding for us with love, and commissioning us for a special mission.

    Who is Jesus?If you asked people who Jesus is, you'd get a variety of answers: “Teacher,” “Prophet,” “Savior,” or “Lord.” But what about “King of the Jews?” That title might not come to mind first, yet it's exactly what Pilate asked Jesus and what was inscribed on the cross at His crucifixion.Why does this title matter? Because understanding Jesus as King reveals the profound purpose behind His life, death, and resurrection—far more than we often realize. In our new series, Crowned, we'll journey through Gospel accounts to explore the significance of Jesus' kingship. Together, we'll uncover how His reign transforms our lives today.

    What if the resurrection wasn't just a moment in history—but the turning point of your life? The death and resurrection of Jesus isn't just an annual reflection—it's the event that changed everything. In the Gospel of Mark, we meet four witnesses who reveal who Jesus is: a Roman soldier who calls Him the Son of God, a religious leader who buries Him as King, women who proclaim Him risen, and a young man in white who points to our hope of new life.    Jesus conquered the grave, breaks our sin cycles, and offers us restoration. By placing your faith and trust in Christ's hands, He offers a way out of shame and gives us a garment of new life and renewal. Listen in and discover how the risen Christ invites you into a new beginning.

    What does Palm Sunday reveal about Jesus?  In Mark chapter 11, Jesus enters Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week, where He reveals Himself as the Messiah to the multitudes who had traveled there to celebrate the Passover. Now, thousands of years later, His identity remains the same: our righteous deliverer and promised king. Jesus is the solution to our sin, emptiness, and restlessness — so how will you respond to His arrival? We have the choice to either accept and celebrate His offer of salvation, or reject Him and face His judgement. Listen in as we unpack God's message to us through Christ's entry into Jerusalem: I have come to set you free!

    Are you willing to let Jesus open your eyes? Without Christ, we live in spiritual blindness—searching or longing for something we may not fully understand. Yet, when Jesus meets us in our brokenness, He meets us exactly where we are and offers His transformative power. The key is our willingness to acknowledge our need for Him.

    What are your motives for following Jesus? Not everyone follows Him for the right reasons, but eventually our true motives will reveal themselves.  As we walk with Jesus, it's important to do a heart check and ask ourselves if we're aligned with His purpose. Listen in as we walk through John 6 and consider these three questions:1.      Are you following because of who you want Jesus to be?  2.      Are you following because of what you can get?  3.      Are you following because of who Jesus is?

We live with internal passions to be fulfilled; every time we fulfill them, they grow. Once we have come to know Jesus and accepted Him as our savior, we learn that those in Christ have crucified their flesh along with their passions and desires. Yet, we still may experience these desires from our old life. So, as we learn to walk with the Spirit, Jesus points out a few steps we should take as we walk alongside Him. We must recognize that we have an inner struggle that goes towards fulfilling our flesh, we should acknowledge the fruit that is growing in our life and put our flesh to death in Christ Jesus. When we walk with the Spirit and crucify our flesh, we will see godly attributes growing in our lives like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

When we find ourselves going back to our old ways, habits, or sins, it's as if we are re-enslaving ourselves to the law and forfeiting our liberty in Jesus. Paul shows us that we lose the benefits of Christ, the scandal of the cross, and the motivation to love when we revert to the law and believe the lie that we can do it all on our own efforts. In some ways freedom is scary, we can find comfort in thinking that our faith is based on works, but Jesus is desiring us to know in deep ways that our faith is based solely by believing in the Gospel and accepting Christ as our Savior. Jesus saved us by grace alone, despite our flaws and shortcomings, He loves us deeply. We would be foolish to go back to the law and abandon a gracious Gospel and loving Father.

With Jesus sacrifice on the cross, He abolished the law and the need to work or earn our salvation. Paul helps us see that the purpose of the law is because of our sin, until God sent Jesus Christ to be the full atonement for our sins. What a privilege that we can be free in Christ and have the promise of adoption of faith in Christ alone.

Our culture is always trying to gain and get more as if there is this invisible ladder we are trying to climb, but when is enough truly enough for us?

Paul even exclaims, “for me to live is Christ, to die is gain.” We have an opportunity to bring the Gospel everywhere, we should not be ashamed of it, for Christ dwells in us if we have placed our trust in Him alone. Embracing adversity requires us to know that endurance inspires faith, we should rejoice in Gospel proclamation and recognize that adversity is a win-win.

    In our message series, Metamorphosis, we are talking about transforming our minds with the word of God. Today, we will hear how our ambitions are welcomed in Christ, but we must submit them to God in an act of obedience to Him. Jesus had ambition, a ton of it. His ambitions were submitted to God, and He led them out with fervor—being the atonement for all. We have the chance to align our dreams and ambitions, just as Jesus did with God. When we submit them to God, He will exceed our expectations and align our desire with the desires of His own. We must put off worldly ambition and put on godly ambition. Listen further to the latest sermon of the series, as we learn what it means to see how God's work changes our ambition.

    What is the state of your emotional life? Over the past decade, anxiety has heightened among people everywhere. Anxiety is a fierce battle to fight, at times seeming impossible to overcome. So how can our constant worries and swirls of anxiety turn into peace? As we continue in our message series, Metamorphosis, we will talk about the hold that anxiety has made on many today. Anxiety can feel inescapable and suffocating. We may lose hope of ever feeling free from its chains, but we will see that there is hope. What was once anxiety can be turned into peace, by the grace and power of God. Through praying with gratitude, meditating on what is good, and living out God's word, we can experience our anxieties turning into peace. Join us in the latest sermon of the series and be encouraged to fight anxiety with hope and gratitude.

    As Christians, one of our highest callings is to reach the world with the Gospel. This can sometimes feel like an overwhelming thing. We may feel like our life is too busy to find the time for this, or maybe our fear holds us back from preaching the Gospel. These are places many have found themselves in, if you are feeling that you are not alone. We have the ability as Christians to invite God into this struggle, He will listen and strengthen us as we aim to grow in our mission of reaching the world with Christ. We are in our second week of our series, Reach Where There Is No Church, preaching on the topic and importance of spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Christians are called to bring the Gospel to the world, we can read our direct calling in Scripture. We are a part of the body of Christ, we have brothers and sisters who are all on the same mission with us, thankfully we don't have to do it alone. Our mission is to reach, to reach until all have heard. We can do this together as a body of Christ by discipling one another in mission. We can have courage to spread the Gospel because we are empowered by Christ. Join us in the latest sermon of the series, Until All Have Heard, and be encouraged to share the Gospel.  

    Power of the Gospel - Reach: Part 1 - Woodside Bible Church

    Before Jesus ascended into heaven after His resurrection, he brought all the disciples together as a sort of final commissioning. We have come to know this as the “great commission.” He told them to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to believe in Him. This was the mission of the disciples after Jesus took His place at the right hand of the Father and it is our mission as followers of His, today. We are beginning a two-week sermon series labeled, Reach: Where There is No Church, discussing the necessity to bring the Gospel to the ends of the Earth. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. Maybe you've asked the question, “How do we live out the Gospel to reach the world?” It can seem daunting to look out to a world in darkness and try to reach all who are lost, thank God that we are not alone in our journey; we have a family who are all a part of this commission. As believers, we should aim to live with a faith and longing to go, recognize the power for all who believe, and live unashamed of the Gospel. Join us in the first sermon of the series, Power of the Gospel, and walk in boldness as you proclaim the good news.
