Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "The Gospel Ascends" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "We Will Feast In The House Of Zion". Digging Deeper Questions: In the sermon Pastor Gabe talked about how we live in the fifth act of the Theodrama. What role do you see yourself playing in God's story? In Jesus' ascension He now sits at the right hand of God the Father, reigning and ruling over all things. How ought this dictate our lives? The ascension gives us power, purpose, and pardon. Which of these three is hardest for you to believe? Easiest? Why? Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-11 1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when you're standing in front of a decision and you're not sure if it's God opening a door — or if you're forcing one open yourself? In this episode, Pastor Jess and Pastor Gabe unpack a framework for discerning God's will that has shaped Westside's biggest current decision as a church, and works just as well for parenting, marriage, career, and the everyday moments where you're asking, "Is this from the Lord, or is this just me?"Discover:The "painted doorway on a brick wall" picture and what it reveals about forcing God's handThe 5-filter framework for discernment: Word, Spirit, Counsel, Circumstances, Spiritual UnityWhy God's will never contradicts God's Word — and why that has to be filter number oneHow to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's confirmation and His convictionThe "rudder vs. rowing against the current" picture for Spirit-led livingWhy every believer needs a Paul, a Barnabas, and a Timothy in their cornerThe "squeeze the lime" principle — stewarding what you already have before asking for moreWhy favorable circumstances alone aren't enough to confirm an open doorHow spiritual unity protects big decisions in marriage, family, and the churchReal examples from parenting school choices, waiting on a spouse, and Westside's current building decisionMost of us have tried to muscle our way through a wall we painted to look like a door. It hurts, it doesn't work, and it leaves us exhausted. The good news is that God isn't hiding His will from you. He's already given you His Word, His Spirit, godly people, real-life circumstances, and a community to walk with. When you slow down enough to let those five things speak together, what felt foggy starts to feel clear — and when an actual door opens, you'll recognize it because you won't have to break it down.Key Takeaways:God's will never contradicts God's Word — if it fails filter one, you don't pass goThe Holy Spirit is your rudder; peace and dissonance both have something to teach youCounsel that never challenges you isn't counsel — it's an echo chamberDon't mistake favorable circumstances for confirmation; run them through the other filters firstSteward what's already in your hand before you ask God for moreWhen the wind is in the sail, you know it — stop trying to blow into your own sailsQuestion for you to think about: What's a decision in front of you right now where you've been forcing a door — and what would change if you ran it through all five filters this week?Calls to Action:Subscribe so you don't miss next week's episodeDrop a comment with the decision you're discerning right now — we'll pray for youShare this with someone in a season of big decisionsConnect with us at Westside Community ChurchLINKS & RESOURCES: SUBSCRIBE to always see our content and let us reach more people for Jesus: https://www.youtube.com/westsidecommunitychurchpdx?sub_confirmation=1 Give to support this ministry and help us reach people all around the world: https://www.westsidecommunitychurch.com/giveSTAY CONNECTED: Website: https://www.westsidecommunitychurch.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westsidecommunitychurch Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westsidecommunitychurchpdx#MidweekMotivation #WestsideCommunityChurch #GodsWill #Discernment #OpenDoors #HolySpirit #ChristianPodcast #FaithDecisions #HearingGod #ChristianLiving #BiblicalWisdom #WalkingWithGod #ChristianCommunity #FaithAndLife #SurrenderToGod
How do we actually study the Bible? In Week 4 of 40 Days in the Word, Pastor Gabe walks through a simple, practical approach to understanding Scripture by asking the right questions and learning how to apply it to our everyday lives. We're challenged to move from simply reading the Bible to engaging and applying it—because going deeper in God's Word is what leads to deeper discipleship and deeper impact.
Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Gabe Kasper "Thomas" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Faithful Now". Digging Deeper Questions: Why do you think Thomas was so resistant to the testimony about the resurrection from his fellow apostles? Pastor Gabe told the story of his friend Kyle who walked away from the faith and how that unsettled his own faith. Have you ever had an experience like that? Something that caused you to doubt? Pastor Gabe gave 5 steps to walk through in the midst of doubt. Which step is most helpful for you? Least? Why? In the midst of doubt, we were encouraged us to cling to the promises of God. Admittedly, this feels circular, "I doubt God's promises, so I should cling to his promises? How does that work?" Well, how does that work? Scripture Reading: John 20:24-29 24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe." 26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Pastor Gabe George continues week three of our teaching series, The Life of Abraham. God isn't after surface-level belief, He's after deep relationship. In Genesis 15, we see a God who pursues us, makes an unbreakable covenant, and invites us to trust Him fully. In this message, Pastor Gabe explores the following Scriptures: GENESIS 15:1A ESV 1a After these things ... REVELATION 21:1-3 ESV 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. GENESIS 15:9-10 ESV 9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon." 10 And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half. JOHN 3:16 ESV 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. GENESIS 15:1 ESV 1 ... "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." GENESIS 15:7 ESV 7 ... "I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." HEBREWS 11:6 ESV 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. GENESIS 15:1-3 ESV 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." 2 But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 And Abram said, "Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir." GENESIS 15:6 ESV 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness. GENESIS 15:7-8 ESV 7 And he said to him, "I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." 8 But he said, "O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" GENESIS 15:17-18 ESV 17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, MATTHEW 1:1 ESV 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

What is our role in sharing the gospel?This week at The Ark Church, we welcomed special speaker Pastor Gabe George as he shared a powerful message about the responsibility every believer has in evangelism. While pastors are called to preach, every follower of Jesus is called to be a witness.Looking at Luke 15 and the heart of God for the lost, this message reminds us that the salvation of people is the most important mission on earth. Just as Jesus came to seek and save the lost, we are called to live with our eyes up, ready to reflect His love to the world around us.Pastor Gabe challenges us to live out this calling in three practical ways: through our actions, our compassion, and our proclamation. Our lives should point people to Jesus, our hearts should reflect His compassion for others, and we should be ready to speak about the hope we have in Him.When we step into God's mission, He promises His presence and power to help us reach people with the gospel.⸻

As we kick off our Lenten sermon series and book study, Pastor Gabe introduces the concept of the "spiritual junk drawer," why it matters, and how to get it clean. Hint: it's all about grace baby! Digging Deeper Questions: Reflect for a moment on the various influences in your life, from family and friends to popular culture, as well as your upbringing and education. Which has had the greatest impact on your spirituality? Does any specific idea or truth that's important to you come to mind? Taking a critical look at your spiritual and religious assumptions is a vulnerable task. It requires humility and trust. What are you feeling as we embark on this task? Would you characterize yourself as being cautious and guarded, open and unafraid, or somewhere in between?
