The Church As Family | Week 4 - Spiritual Families | October 04, 2026
Every family — and every close relationship — runs on the same four ingredients: doing the inner work, practicing real forgiveness, giving genuine attention, and speaking real blessing over the people you love. In this message, Brook and Elizabeth Mosser share raw, personal stories about therapy,...
-
The Church As Family | Week 3 - A Shared Life | September 27, 2026
In John 15, Jesus uses an analogy that He is like a vine, and we’re like the branches on that vine. It’s clear that He really does want us to grow in our maturity, and bear fruit, like a vine produces grapes. But real growth — whether it’s in a vineyard or in life — never happens by accident. In...
-
The Church As Family | Week 2 - A Genuine Community | September 20, 2026
It's possible to be surrounded by people and still feel completely unknown. This message explores what it takes to move from “just being in the same area” to real connection. How can we move in our relationships from sharing not just the same space, but sharing our burdens, honesty, and life...
-
The Church As Family | Week 1 - A New Family | September 13, 2026
Most of us think of faith as something private — a belief we hold, on our own terms, at our own pace. But Jesus had a different vision entirely. In fact, He called the people who followed him "brothers and sisters" — not a figure of speech, but an invitation into a real family. This message...
-
The Pace Of Peace | Come to Me, Learn from Me, and Rest | Sep. 6, 2026
“So much to do, so little time,” so the saying goes. Overextended schedules, unmanageable calendars, and impossible to-do lists—these are the markers of life in the modern world. But what if the more we try to do everything, the less we’re doing anything truly meaningful? Thankfully, busyness and...

The Gospel of John (Part 2) | To Whom Shall We Go | August 16, 2026
We all love the idea of change — the body without the workout, the career without the risk, the marriage without the hard conversations. In this message from John 6, we look at the moment Jesus' own followers heard a hard teaching and walked away. We explore what it actually means to stay…

The Gospel of John (Part 2) | Feeding the 5,000 and Walking on Water | August 02, 2026
Sermon Description: One of the more famous and recognizable miracles of Jesus is when He fed 5,000 people. But what people might miss is that this is not a one-off event, actually. Long before Jesus fed the crowds, God did the exact same three things for a desperate, wandering people fleeing...
-
The Gospel of John (Part 2) | The Authority of the Son | July 26, 2026
Whose voice actually gets the final say in your life — your own instincts, other people's expectations, the pressure to keep achieving, or something else entirely? In John 5, we explore how easy it is to know a lot about God and still keep Him at arm's length, and what it looks like to move from...
-
The God Who Is | The Everlasting God | July 12, 2026
Most of us are haunted by something — regret from the past, anxiety about the future, or the quiet fear that we've already missed our moment. In this message, we explore an ancient name for God — El Olam, the Everlasting God — and what it means that the God of the universe is not bound by time…
more -
The God Who Is | The God Who is There | July 05, 2026
In 2010, a performance artist named Marina Abramović sat silently across from strangers at the MOMA for three months — no words, no advice, no fixing — just sitting with people. And people wept. In a world of distraction and noise, we are starving for genuine presence. And not only that, somehow,...
-
The God Who Is | The God Who Sees and Provides | June 28, 2026
In a world where trust is at an all-time low, it's easy to conclude that we're on our own — that if anything good is going to happen, we'd better make it happen ourselves. But one of the oldest stories in the Bible tells a different story. In this message, we explore what it looks like to stop...
-
The God Who Is | The God Who Is My Shepherd | June 21, 2026
Most of us spend our lives chasing the feeling that we finally have enough — the right job, the right success, the right recognition — only to find the emptiness follows us there too. In this message, we unpack one of the most beloved and misunderstood passages in all of Scripture, Psalm 23, and...
-
The God Who Is | The God Who Is Faithful | June 14, 2026
We all know what it feels like to wonder if anyone is truly, reliably there for us — in the hard seasons, the unanswered prayers, the doors that won't open. But in the ancient book of Deuteronomy, written more than 3,000 years ago, we find one of the oldest names for God, El Ne'eman — the…

NextGen Sunday | Forming Disciples at All Ages | June 07, 2026
What if the kids and teenagers around you are already hearing from God — and just need someone to help them recognize it? This message explores the story of young Samuel and the surprising truth that God doesn't need perfect people to shape the next generation. He just needs willing ones.
-
The Gospel of John, Pt. 1 | Healing | May 31, 2026
What do you do when you've built the career, made the connections, and done everything "right"—and still feel completely empty? In John 4, we meet a powerful man who ran out of options, and in desperation, comes to Jesus. But this isn’t a bad thing. In this story, we discover that Jesus does his...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt. 1 | Living Water | May 24, 2026
In John 3, John the Baptist’s words—“He must become greater; I must become less”—become an invitation to step out of a self-centered story and into the larger story of God. This teaching explores why Jesus is greater, why earthly things can never fully satisfy our deepest longings, and how the...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt. 1 | He Must Increase | May 17, 2026
In John 3, John the Baptist’s words—“He must become greater; I must become less”—become an invitation to step out of a self-centered story and into the larger story of God. This teaching explores why Jesus is greater, why earthly things can never fully satisfy our deepest longings, and how the...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt 1 | Born Again | May 10, 2026
What does it mean to be "born again"? What's the point? Through a late-night conversation with a prominent religious leader, Jesus reveals the gifts that new birth offers—a new identity and awakening to a new way of seeing and experiencing God. Like a newborn encountering the world for the first...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt 1 | Cleansing the Temple | May 3, 2026
Why did Jesus make a whip, overturn tables, and drive people out of the temple? In Gospel of John 2:13–25, Jesus enters the temple and reminds us that God’s house—and our hearts—were made for relationship, not transaction. Join us as we discover how Jesus still cleanses, confronts, and calls us...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt 1 | Water Into Wine | April 26, 2026
Jesus’ first sign takes place at a wedding—transforming water into wine and revealing a deeper story of restoration, dignity, and new life. This teaching explores how that moment points beyond a miracle to the heart of the gospel: Jesus reimagining cleansing, identity, and belonging through his…
more -
The Gospel of John, Pt 1 | Behold the Lamb | April 19, 2026
In John 1, 19-51, we see a repeated invitation: “Come and see.” This passage isn’t just recounting events—it’s inviting us to slow down, pay attention, and truly behold Jesus. At its core, discipleship is not about doing more, but about fixing our eyes on Him in a way that transforms us from the...
-
The Gospel of John, Pt 1 | The Word Became Flesh | April 12, 2026
Written later in life, John’s Gospel is less a timeline and more a deeply reflective portrait, inviting us into the heart of Jesus. At its core, John writes so that we might believe—not just intellectually, but relationally, learning to trust in Jesus. As the Word made flesh, Jesus reveals God’s...
-
Easter 2026 | The Last Thing is the Best Thing | April 05, 2026
We all carry regrets — relationships that fell apart, decisions we wish we could undo, losses we can't stop grieving. In fact, regret might be one of the most universal human experiences. But what if regret doesn’t have to be the end of our story? The resurrection of Jesus isn't just a historical...

Long Live the King | For Us (Substitution) | March 22, 2026
Have you ever let someone else take the blame for something you did? In this message, we unpack the biblical idea of substitution and how Jesus willingly became our substitute. Through a powerful look at one of Jesus’ most famous stories - the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 – we discover…
more -
Long Live the King | God Wins (Christus Victor) | March 15, 2026
In the Roman Empire, crucifixion was propaganda—a brutal warning to anyone who dared resist the empire. But the New Testament makes a shocking claim: through the cross, Jesus wasn’t defeated—He was victorious. In this message, we explore the biblical vision of the cross as a declaration of…
more -
Long Live the King | No Condemnation (Satisfaction) | March 08, 2026
We all live with the fear of being judged—by others, by ourselves, and even by God. But what if God as Judge is actually good news? In this message, we explore the Bible’s legal and courtroom images of Jesus as a judge. We explore how the cross is the place where the verdict over our lives was...
-
Long Live the King | The Price of Freedom (Ransom) | March 01, 2026
What is something really worth? From $100 million paintings to priceless family treasures, we explore how value is defined — and what it means when the Bible says that Jesus gave His life as a “ransom for many.” In this message, we discover the immense cost and even greater love behind the cross…
more -
Long Live the King | Life Given for Life (Blood Sacrifice) | February 22, 2026
We’ve become desensitized to blood in our movies and on our screens — but Scripture says blood isn’t about violence, it’s about life. In this message, we explore why “the life is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11), how sin drains us at the deepest level, and why the cross is not divine cruelty but...
-
Long Live the King | The Cross as Deliverance | February 15, 2026
Why did Jesus die—and what does His death actually accomplish? In this message, we explore the cross as the new Passover. The cross is God’s great act of deliverance, fulfilling the story of Passover and leading us out of slavery into freedom. Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, willingly gave His…
more -
Here to Stay + Where We’re Headed | February 08, 2026
The story of WestGate Church—past, present, and future—and a testimony to what God can do when His people choose surrender over control, Spirit-empowered living over self-reliance, and sacrificial love over comfort. In Ephesians 3, the Apostle Paul invites followers of Jesus to trust God with…
more -
An Invitational Life | Missional Living for Ordinary People | February 01, 2026
Most Christians believe we should share our faith—but few feel like they know how exactly to do that. What does it look like to live an invitational life as an ordinary follower of Jesus? In Acts 8, Philip meets an Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road, and we discover how God uses ordinary...
-
Simple Faith | A Long Obedience in the Same Direction | January 25, 2026
Jesus didn’t launch his ministry from a stage—he built it around a table. In this message, we explore how meals were Jesus’ primary method of forming disciples, welcoming outsiders, and reshaping the world, and why reclaiming the table may be one of the most faithful, countercultural practices…
more -
Simple Faith | One Thing I Seek | January 18, 2026
In a world full of noise, options, and constant distraction, how do we keep God at the center? Drawing from Psalm 27 and Philippians 3, this message invites us to rediscover one thing—a simple, focused devotion to God that anchors us right in the middle of life’s chaos. SPEAKER: David Kim BIBLE...

Simple Faith | Sacred Simplicity | January 11, 2026

Simple Faith | Essentialism and The Good Way | January 4, 2026
For many of us, even though the New Year literally just started, we’re already feeling overwhelmed, behind, and stretched thin.

-
The Discipline of Remembering | December 28, 2025
As we step into a new year—whether we are the type of people who over-plan or feel overwhelmed—this message invites us to slow down and remember the One we’re most tempted to forget: God. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8, we explore how remembering (zakar) re-centers our lives in faithfulness, and we...
