I would love to see encouraging words flowing out to all those around us.
During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. This week, Jason walked us through Jesus' teaching on the Law. He reminded us that the Torah is not a set of legal rules, rather it is a vision for how to live into an entirely new Kingdom. The grace of the gospel isn't to set us free from obeying hard teachings, it is to give us a new heart so we might obey with our full selves. Jesus came to give us to transform us from the inside out. If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Pastor Greg continues our sermon series through Psalm 119 by giving a brief overview of how we got the Bible as we know it today and what the implications are for the Bible being the inspired Words of God.

Dostoyevsky once said that “beauty will save the world.” This week, Rick Callahan invited us to consider how Jesus' call to be Salt and Light echoes the call for Christians to fill the world with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. While many of us find it easy to focus on the first two, it's not always clear where Beauty fits in. Rick helped us explore how doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) can make the world a more beautiful place, helping us live into Jesus' command to be Salt and Light in a world desperate for healing and transformation.

The final word of our Words of Life series is "witness." When we consider all the words that have pointed us to the good life of the gospel it's not surprising Jesus would call us to let others know and invite them in! Explore this word, call, and impact (Acts 1:1-11) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250601_DavidM.pdf
The words we speak matter. They can bring life or they can bring death. This Sunday we'll take a look at the book of Proverbs together and learn how to bring life to those around us with our words.
While our culture tends to describe love through or enjoyment, what kind of love can truly change a person and impact society - even dispel the many fears we live with? We explore how the New Testament describes love uniquely different. (1 John 4:7-21) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250523_DavidM.pdf
Holiness is not a common word in our culture. Who aspires to be holy? Yet many would long to be called into something or grow into someone with meaning and purpose. Now you're getting at what the scripture calls holy. We'll unpack it through the ideas of wonder, calling and living.

Today we read Acts 5:17-32. We take a look at the contrast between the priests jealousy of Jesus's influence and the Apostles devotion. What we find is the priests were concerned with the influence they could lose and the Apostles were devoted because what they would lose to follow Jesus did not compare with what they had gained.
For the next 5 episodes we are joined by pastor, author, teacher, podcaster, and newly appointed Bishop of the Global Methodist Church, Dr. Carolyn Moore.

Fellowship is probably the most 'religious' sounding word in the church. Yet if get to the root of it, it helps us understand God's vision for our relationship with Him, His mission, and His church (each other).

Debbie McDaniel is a writer, pastor's wife, and mom. She knows something of how fear can derail a person's entire life. You see, Debbie wrestled with fear and anxiety for years. And her recovery didn't happen overnight, but she did come to think about it all in a different way. She turned to the Lord, and He showed her practical things she could do to alleviate her fear. Now, for one thing, she began to notice something. When she thought about her fear and she studied her own patterns related to being anxious, she realized that the majority of her fears didn't actually happen. And this is where a journal can come in really handy. By keeping a log of your fears, and then after a certain period of time, say a month later, check back and see how many of those fears actually manifest themselves. And you'll probably be shocked at how low the percentage really is.Next, Debbie said that she began to read words of life, as she says, “Soaking them in over and over, praying them out loud.” And she makes the great point that there's power in the Bible's words because it is God's Word. Isaiah 35:4 says, “Tell everyone who is discouraged, ‘Be strong and don't be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies.'” Debbie also advocates what she calls guarding your heart. And this involves a daily concentrating power that reminds you of truth, even in the midst of confusion.Again, this is where reading words of life is so critical. In this way, you're making the peace in your own heart a top priority. And it's okay to say that to yourself—as many times a day as you need. With just these few things, overcoming fear is within your reach. Let's pray. Father God, how powerful your promises are to us. Your words of life bring harmony. Help us to be on the lookout for friends and family who are struggling so that we can remind them of the times you've delivered us from fear and anxiety. Help us to make guarding our own hearts a priority. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

People use the word FAITH all the time. It's in music, poems, and every life - maybe even before someone gets on a roller coaster. We explore why Faith is so central to following Jesus and why it leads to life and relationship with God (Galatians 3:23-4:7) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250309_DavidM.pdf
Has the word CROSS become over familiar to you? In songs and phrases or maybe around your neck. Or maybe it's foreign to you, wondering what all the fuss is about with Christians? explore it with us and see what a window it is to the kind of life available in Jesus.

The scriptures point to a qualitatively different kind of life that can only come through one source. Do we choose it? (John 6:25-59) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250223_DavidM.pdf
