Living The New Life Part 3
Letting Your Life Shine
Today’s message is taken from Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae. This period of history has some parallels to ours with governments trying to shut down churches through health regulations. In the time period of Paul’s letter it was due to the Romans requiring allegiance to Caesar as the Supreme Being. In our day, “Government” thinks it is the Supreme Being, but we know the Triune God is the only Supreme Being. Paul reminds us that in “Living the New Life” we need to “Let our Live Shine” so others can see the transformation that knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior brings.

Living The New Life Part 2
Supremacy Of Christ
In a world where there many competitors for the title of #1, we need to remember
that Jesus Christ as part of the Triune Godhead is the only true #1.
Join with us today as we look at Paul’s letter to the church in Colossae
and clarify for them and us that Jesus Christ is truly Number One.
November 08, 2020
Living The New Life
Starting Points Part 1
We are starting a new series today based upon Paul’s Letter to the
Colossians. As we seek to know and serve God more intensely, we need
this reminder about who Jesus is and what He did for us. Why? We need to
tell others about the divine foundation of our new life in Christ.

Encouragement Part 13
Encouragement is one of the best ways to resist Satan’s destructive attacks on us. We want to be faithful to God’s call on us in Christ Jesus and Satan wants us to disgrace God. Encouragement was one of the main personal tools the Apostle Paul used to help the early Christians continue spreading the Gospel.

Partners With God
Impartation Part 12
Today’s message is all about imparting your God given experiences
to other followers of Jesus Christ.
This is important so that we can grow into unity
in Jesus Christ and fulfill the Great Commission.

Partners With God
Maturation part 11
Maturation is also known as growing in spiritual maturity.
We cannot remain as spiritual orphans and change the world.
We need a revival of Godly men and women who can raise up the next generations.
It is not based on doing things, but on being formed by those that know their God
and can share with us from their experiences.
October 11, 2020
Partners With God
Transformation part 10
Transformation is the message for today.
We need to exchange old ways of thinking for God’s ways.
In this message we will learn what God says about us
that is different than what the world says.
Tune in and start the transformation process.

Ancient Paths
In a culture that worships the novel and new,
we as followers of Jesus Christ are called
to follow God’s path which is tried and true.
Always compare the new with the principles

Great Awakenings
Part 2
Continuing our series, Partners With God, we are continuing to discover
God’s works as He brings people to Himself. God has been calling people
to join His Family down through time, but as we observe societal decay
and the increase of apparent evil it is our responsibility to ask God to
send awakenings and revival to the hearts of people everywhere. Join us
today as we examine the Biblical commands and the outcomes of previous revivals.
September 13, 2020
Partners With God
Today we begin looking at Awakenings and Revivals. As we Partner With God we will see the Holy Spirit work in the lives of others and ours to awaken them to the Love of Jesus. Join with us as we examine the need for an awakening and how we can Partner With God to expand the Kingdom of God and bring New Life to many others.
September 06, 2020
Partners With God
One of the most important challenges for us that have come to Jesus as our Lord and Savior is to develop a closer relationship with Him. It seems difficult to do, but if we learn a few things it becomes the keystone of a new life. Tune in for today’s message on Growing Closer to God.
We also get to honor our Lord and Savior by partaking of the Lord’s
Supper during the service today.

In today’s world we can feel very insecure, vulnerable and alone.

the Holy Spirit as we focus on God the Father and all His blessings for us.

Prayer changes us through drawing closer to God.
Declaration of Confidence in God’s Protection
No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tongue, which rises against us in judgment, we do condemn. This is our heritage as servants of the Lord and our righteousness is from You, O Lord of Hosts. If there are those who have been speaking or praying against us or seeking harm or evil to us or who have rejected us, we forgive them and, having forgiven them, we bless them in the Name of the Lord. *
Now we declare, O Lord, that You and You alone are our God, and besides You there is no other -a just God and Savior, the Father, the Son and the Spirit- and we worship You!
We submit ourselves afresh to You(today/tonight) in unreserved obedience. Having submitted to You, Lord, we do as Your Word directs. We resist the devil: all his pressures, his attacks, his deceptions, every instrument or agent he would seek to use against us. We do not submit! We resist him, drive him from us and exclude him from us in the Name of Jesus.
Specifically we reject and repel:
– Accidents
– Allergies
– Infirmity
– Infection
– Malignancies
– Pain
– Poverty
– Inflammation
– Viruses
– Every form of witchcraft
Finally, Lord, we thank You that through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross,
we have passed out from under the curse and entered into the blessing of Abraham
whom You blessed in all things such as: **
– Exaltation
– Fruitfulness
– Victory
– Health
– Prosperity
– God’s favor

April 19, 2020
Starting a new series today titled Connecting With Jesus.
Before we can experience the joys of knowing Jesus as our Lord and Savior we have to realize that He has had His eye on us for a long time.
We usually think that His love started on the cross, but it started in eternity past, read Ephesians 2:8-10 and know that God has plans for you as the object of His love. As believers during this COVID 19 crisis we have to be the leaders that provide hope to our neighbors. If we know the depth of God’s love for ourselves we can share that confidence with those that need to know Him as their Lord and Savior.
April 12, 2020
Today’s message is from Luke 24:1-12. In this current time of trial we
may be like the first disciples who failed to remember what the words of
assurance that Jesus had told them. Failing to remember can be one of
our problems too. As we celebrate the empty tomb we can remember the
words that Jesus provided to guide us into the next season of God’s
plans. We can be reassured of God’s love and provision for us during
this time by turning to Him in trust and love.
April 05, 2020
Today we will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper. We also will be trying a “different way” to worship together.

Respecting the rights of the artists, we are unable to stream them,
but we can worship together in this manner.
Two songs to remind of whose we are and how that affects us in this current time,
and two to remind us of why we celebrate the Lord’s Supper.

We gathered today at Westview Christian Center to observe the National Day of Prayer that the President had announced. WE read Psalm 91 and prayed against fear and panic. We also prayed for healing and wisdom on how to be the light during dark times. God will Prevail! Today’s message is titled, “Our Role – Witness.” We need to see ourselves as full time ambassadors for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. Campaigns are good for evangelism, but the everyday Christ-life by His people is the most effective.
March 8, 2020
Today we explore the foundation of all we do and think and that has to be that God is our Rock. Jesus is described as the “Rock of our salvation” and that provides the solid foundation by which we examine all that we do as witnesses of His transforming power.

Today was the first Sunday of March and it was a great service!

Today we wrap up the series, “Growing God’s Kingdom,” with the message, “Producing the Harvest.”We discover how we need to change our hearts into “good soil;” from hard, rocky and thorny so that God may be glorified as His Kingdom expands.The personal transformation of our hearts enables us to be an integral part of His Kingdom and transform the lives of others by introducing them to Jesus Christ.

As Jimmie Evans, Gateway Church, Dallas, TX says, “We must qualify to multiply.” Join us as we describe the essentials of God’s Word.
January 5, 2020
Beginning a new series exploring the Kingdom of God. Using the parable of the sower from Matthew 13 and Luke 8 to discover how God wants us to embrace His rule and reign. In the Kingdom, we need to understand who owns the field and who we serve. This series is designed to help us grow individually and be fruitful for God.
December 29, 2019
“Wise Men Still Seek Him” is the title and topic of today’s message. As we get ready for 2020 we need to understand our great God and how He works in the lives of individuals. Join us to get a glimpse of how God led the Magi to the home of Joseph, Mary and the Christ child and how he can influence your life. Blessings to you for the coming year, it is going to be a great one!
December 22, 2019
The most important thing is to reflect on the story of Christ’s appearing as a baby in Bethlehem. It is the watershed moment of all history and needs to be the key element of the new relationship we can have through faith in Jesus Christ. Our youth also provide us with great music of the season. Blessings to you in Christ Jesus during this season and all next year!
December 15, 2019
Today is when Westview Christian Center has their Christmas Party. We usually have a family dinner on the third Sunday, but today we combined the dinner with a Christmas Celebration.

God fulfills all of His promises. God also informs the faithful of His plans through prophecy beginning in the Garden of Eden. Today we look at some of those prophecies and promises and their fulfillment, as well as make some verbal declarations of our trust in God as our Lord and in Jesus Christ as our Savior. Join us and reflect on the Truth that came into our world in Jesus Christ.
