Series: Undivided AttentionSometimes circumstances have to be just right for something to be effective or to work properly. Sometimes, though, even when something is effective or working properly, we can't tell. A recipe may turn out exactly the way it's supposed to, but if we don't know what the finished product is supposed to taste like, how can we tell if the recipe was a success? If a play on the field didn't work, is it because the players didn't carry it out correctly, or did the other team just stop it effectively? Sometimes it may seem difficult to tell if the church - and by extension the Word - is working. We don't see the results we expected or the results don't line up with what we assumed we'd see. How do we know the church is working in our midst here or anywhere? Because the gospel grows. That's what it does - wherever it is proclaimed.

Growing Christians will be marked by loving generosity as they trust God for all things.

Grace is offensive. Holiness is offensive. Yet people everywhere are hungry for both. This tension sits at the heart of the missionary journeys of Paul and Barnabas as they navigate the treacherous waters of sharing the gospel in first-century cities.Following their progress through Antioch, Iconium, Lystra and beyond reveals a striking pattern. Initial enthusiasm often erupts into fierce opposition when the exclusive Jewish establishment realizes that God's chosen family is expanding to include "any old, pork-eating, idol-worshipping social reprobate." The message that anyone could come, repent, be baptized and experience transformation threatens those who've built their identity on being spiritually superior.What's remarkable is not just the opposition they face—public denunciation, stoning, plots against their lives—but their extraordinary resilience. They knew when to stay and when to flee, when to endure and when to move on. Their teaching to new believers wasn't false promises of ease but the stark reality that "it is necessary to go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." This counterintuitive approach strengthened rather than weakened the early church.The episode in Lystra highlights a particularly relevant challenge for modern Christians. When Paul heals a lame man, the crowd mistakes him for Hermes and Barnabas for Zeus, completely missing the true source of the miracle. In our spiritually curious but biblically illiterate world, even supernatural encounters won't automatically point people to Jesus without clear explanation.Following Jesus will make your life better, but not necessarily easier. The spiritual disciplines Paul practiced—solitude, fasting, prayer—build the resilience needed for the journey. In a society increasingly lacking the ability to handle setbacks, these practices prepare us for the inevitable valleys on the path to the kingdom. The gospel still grows most vigorously not in the soil of comfort, but through the faithful perseverance of those willing to count the cost.© Bentley Baptist Church Inc. www.bentleybaptist.org

Colossians teaches us that the gospel is not simply a one-time message that gets us into heaven or a safety net from hell that we place upon the footnote of our lives.The gospel is a good message of the supremacy of Jesus that saves us, sustains us, and sanctifies us to the very end when we know it, believe it, and apply it to our everyday lives.Colossians shows us how the gospel of Jesus Christ affects and redeems every single aspect of our lives and, when applied, causes us to be growing in the gospel until Jesus comes back again. Join us as we continue Growing in the Gospel together through our study in Colossians this Winter!

Main Point: Our full assurance of victory in Christ is built on a deep treasury, a powerful artillery, and a continued advancement

Acts 11 contains three different “Reports of Gospel Growth.” Each report presents pictures of the early church as they grew in understanding the mission of God in the world, and their role in it. As the gospel of Jesus Christ reoriented the lives of these early believers, remarkable things took place. We will organize these “Reports of Gospel Growth” under three headings showing how the church both practiced and grew in: 1. Gospel Unity, 2. Gospel Ministry, and 3. Gospel Generosity.

Luke 8:1-3 - Speaker: Josh Lankford - In this Gospel Growth, we consider a biblical theme from 1 Timothy 6 about how God wants us to invest everything we have (our money) in everything God is doing (his ministry).

Our Eternal King is supreme and preeminent over all things. In the letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul states that “For in Him, the fullness of God was pleased to dwell…” which means that Christ was not merely a good moral teacher, but the only one who ever existed as fully God and Fully Man. This reality makes Him the only one who is capable to sympathize with our weaknesses and save our souls! Please join us as we embark on a rich study of the letter to the Colossians entitled “The Supremacy of Christ.” ————————  This week, Pastor Jeff will preach from Colossians 1:9-12. The next message in this series is entitled "Gospel Growth." The main idea of the sermon is: Prayer and the knowledge of God's will are necessary for gospel growth ————————  Connect with Us: Website: parkwoodonline.org Facebook: facebook.com/parkwoodonline Instagram: instagram.com/parkwoodonline.org  Check out more resources and sermons online at: parkwoodresources.org

James 1:27 - Speaker: Joe Skinner - Throughout history God has repeatedly shown how he is caring and providing for widows. In 1 Timothy Paul gives us one of the largest sections on widow care in scripture, and emphasizes the importance of family and church in caring for widows. Today's Gospel Growth will explore how it is God has cared for widows throughout scripture, and how the we as the church have opportunity to reflect God's heart for widows today. God cares for widows, the church should too.

Part of what we pick up in looking at Jesus in the gospel is a way of viewing the whole world. That worldview informs all our values and deeply shapes our thinking and decisionmaking. . . . Another part of what we take up from beholding the glory of Christ is greater delight in his fellowship and deeper longing to see him in heaven. This has its own liberating effect from the temptations of this world. All these have their own peculiar way of changing us into the likeness of Christ. — John Piper

Corporate lingo about mission, vision, and values can be overdone, yet every organization will have driving principles determining the purpose for associating. A key essential for Westview Church is “gospel growth.” Listen to Pastor Brett's sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 which captures the content, necessity, and growth of the gospel. 

- Speaker: Ben Hulin - When Jesus talks about leadership, his message is countercultural. According to our Lord, the greatest leader is a servant to all. It's not about stepping on people to get ahead, but rather serving people in a way that pleases God. In our upcoming Gospel Growth class on leadership we'll look at a variety of themes including: balance in leadership, how to lead by serving, a leader's character, the humility of a true leader, limits of leadership, and more.
