Sam Storms says, "most Scripture speaks to us, whereas the Psalms speak for us". This is why the Psalms resonate with us at different stages and season of our lives. Starting this week, we will begin a 3-week series on the Psalms and their relevance to us today. This week, we begin with an overview to lay a foundation, then give a detailed look into Psalm 25. May we learn, grasp and apply the essential elements of this book of knowledge and may we draw closer to the heart of Christ as we do. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/the-throne-of-grace-and-the-pardoning-of-sinners http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/throne-of-grace-and-pardon-for-sinners.mp3 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:34:37 GMT Jud Brooks Three Weeks of Psalms psalms,repentance,christ,grace,sin What would it be like to live with some major ailment for 38 years, and to then be healed? And what would it be like to be told to go and sin no more? Which of the two would be more impactful? http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/signs-2-a-38-year-wait-and-a-call-to-holy-living http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/signs-2-a-38-year-wait-and-a-call-to-holy-living.mp3 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:45:33 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John faith,sign,holiness Jesus rebuked the people of Galilee for their lack of faith and their desire only for signs and wonders, yet in the midst of it all, he agree to heal a pleading father's son. Why? What do we learn about Jesus from how he treats this man, and what do we learn about ourselves in contrasting the unbelief of the people with the trusting faith of a desperate dad? http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/signs-1-a-desperate-dad-a-gracious-savior http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/signs--1-a-desperate-dad-a-gracious-savior.mp3 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:08:55 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John believe,sign,faith What happens when Jesus changes one woman's life? What happens because Jesus never loses sight of the harvest? And what could happen if a church was filled with people who had been changed by Jesus and had a harvest mentality? http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/when-jesus-rocks-your-world http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/when-jesus-rocks-your-world.mp3 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 18:53:09 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John harvest,evangelism,changed_lives What does it mean to worship? Does it matter where you worship? Can you just worship God, or do you have to worship Jesus? Is everyone - Christians, Muslims, Jews - really just worshipping the same God? Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well reveals to us the significance of worship for our lives and the importance of making sure our worship is on target. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/true-worship http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/true-worship.mp3 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:37:32 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John worship What is ministry supposed to look like? From Jesus' encounter and conversation with the Samaritan woman, we learn some valuable principles for how we are to minister to others today. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/jesus-and-a-thirsty-woman http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/jesus-and-a-thirsty-woman.mp3 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:19:53 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John thirst,living_water,ministry We all recognize that humility is important and desirable. It is one of the great Christian virtues, opposite pride. But where does it come from. And does anyone, in fact, possess it? John the Baptist knew that his purpose in life was to make much of Jesus and little of himself. We will look at John's humility while considering what it would look like for us today. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/why-jesus-must-increase-and-we-must-decrease http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/why-jesus-must-increase-and-we-must-decrease.mp3 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:19:11 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John humility,pride Tim Vanderveld was our Associate Pastor of Worship for 1997-2004. He is now an Associate Pastor at Converge Church in Minneapolis. Tim contracted gall bladder cancer in 2007. Four months ago, he was given just six weeks to live. Needless to say, the Lord has extended Tim's life. Tim has used this gift of time to speak in support groups, classrooms and churches about where his hope lies. This morning, via Skype, he is sharing from God's word and relating from his own experience of what it means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death with Jesus as his Savior. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/a-message-of-hope http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/a-message-of-hope.mp3 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 19:13:34 GMT Tim Vanderveld The Gospel of John glory,honor,hope,praise In these verses, John tells us that all of humanity is divided into those who are not under God's condemnation and those who are. This message will explore why people are condemned by God, and God's provision in Jesus Christ. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/light-vs-darkness http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/light-vs-darkness.mp3 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 20:45:38 GMT Gary Brooks The Gospel of John believe,condemnation,light,darkness When the gospel comes with power into a person's life, it impacts every area - especially those parts of our lives where there is competition for our allegiance to Christ, where idolatries may exist, and where we need to become more like Jesus and less like the world. Our attitudes and practices dealing with money and giving are of paramount importance in our personal discipleship. We will take two weeks to learn vital truths from God's Word in this crucial area. http://www.westhillsstl.org/sermon/from-couch-to-5k-and-beyond-part-2-learning-how-to-give-in-response-to-the-gospel http://www.westhillsstl.org/mediafiles/from-couch-to-5k-and-beyond-part-2.mp3 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:16:48 GMT Gary Brooks When the gospel comes with power into a person's life, it impacts every area - especially those parts of our lives where there is competition for our allegiance to Christ, where idolatries may exist, and where we need to become more like Jesus and ... giving,money,faith,obedience
