WestWay Christian Church

Genesis 18-19 is often remembered as the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, but the biggest surprise isn't God's judgment-it's God's declaration that Lot was righteous. As we walk through Abraham's conversation with God and the events in Sodom, we'll wrestle with a question that changes everything: What does God mean when He calls someone righteous? This passage reminds us that righteousness isn't something we achieve through our performance but something God graciously gives to those who trust Him. 

God had made a covenant with Abraham, but that covenant was always about more than one man. In Genesis 17–18, God reveals that those who belong to Him are invited to trust His promises, follow Him in faithful obedience, and participate in His plan to bless the world. This covenant ultimately points to Jesus Christ, through whom we are welcomed into God’s family by grace. Join us as we discover what it means to live with the confidence and purpose of those who truly belong to God.

God had made a promise, but Abraham and Sarai grew tired of waiting. Instead of trusting God to do what He said He would do, they took matters into their own hands and attempted to accomplish through human effort what God had promised to accomplish Himself. The result was conflict, blame, suffering, and broken relationships. Yet even in the middle of the mess, God remained faithful-seeing, pursuing, and caring for those who had been hurt. Join us as we explore what happens when we stop trusting God, try to take control, and discover that God doesn't need our help nearly as much as He desires our trust. 

Have you ever wondered if God's promises really apply to your situation? In Genesis 15, Abram struggles to reconcile what God has promised with what he can actually see, and God responds not with condemnation but with reassurance. Together, we'll discover how the cross of Christ gives us confidence to trust God even when his promises don't seem to make sense. 

Genesis 13-14 reveals both the cost and joy of love. As Abram pursues and rescues Lot despite his repeated failures, he reflects the character of the God who pursues us even when our choices lead us away from Him. Through the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, we have been rescued and welcomed into God's family, and because we have been loved this way, we are called to love others in the same way. 

In Genesis 12, God calls Abram into the unknown with a powerful promise-to bless him, make him into a great nation, and use him to bless the world. Abram responded by stepping out in faith, trusting God even when he could not see the full picture ahead. This sermon explores how God's promises require faith-filled obedience and how Abram's journey becomes the foundation of God's redemptive plan. Through faith in Jesus, we are now included in that same promise and invited to live as people who trust God and carry His blessing to others. 

Genesis 11 shows that the problem has never been technology itself, but the human heart that uses God’s gifts to pursue self-glory, self-sufficiency, and life apart from Him. At Babel, humanity united around making a name for themselves rather than fulfilling God’s purposes, revealing the same temptation we still face today to be mastered by the things we create and consume. Yet even in judgment, God’s intervention was an act of mercy and grace, and the story ultimately points us forward to the unity God desires—not around ourselves, but around the good news of Jesus Christ.

WestWay is the kind of church that makes disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, then teaching these disciples to live in accordance to the words of Jesus. As his disciples, we take his message of God's mercy, grace and love starting in Scottsbluff through the ends of the earth.

Genesis 6-10 teaches that God's justice is not opposed to his love, but flows from it. In a world filled with corruption and rebellion, God preserves Noah through faith, protects His promises, and reaffirms His plan to work through His people to bring blessing and redemption to the world. 

On this day we honor mothers, we’re reminded that spiritual parenting is the calling of every believer—to receive a living faith and intentionally pass it on through prayer, discipleship, and example. With confidence that God’s Word always accomplishes His purpose, we pray that the same faith of those who came before us would remain strong in us and continue through us for generations to come.
