The 1015 - Q&A with Connie Wicks

This week, we're excited for the opportunity to visit with Connie Wicks, one of the supported missions and missionaries of WestWay Christian Church.

The 1015 - God is Good, All the Time

When should we worship? All the time. Our circumstances should not dictate our worship to God.  There are examples all over the Bible of people worshiping God when things are good in their life and when things are bad.  How can we worship God through ALL the circumstances we find ourselves in?

The 1015 - Everybody Worships...Something

Everybody is a worshiper. Whether they realize it or not, everybody worships…something. Followers of God in the Old Testament were bombarded with the idol worship of other nations and struggled with not making idol worship a part of their daily routine. Christ followers in the New Testament also dealt with other gods beings readily available for their worship because of the cultures they intertwined with. We are no different. What is pulling our hearts away from the One True God? How can we fully devote all of who we are to Him?

The 1015 - Responding to God

As we begin this series, we'll be talking about worship as the only proper response to the reality that God has delivered us from sin, a recognition that only God is worthy and, it places us into the story of God and his faithfulness to his people. Worship is the proclamation of identity: who we are, and who we are not. When we worship God, we proclaim what he has done, what he is doing, and what he will do.

The 1015 - Pentecost: The Role of the Holy Spirit in the Life of a Christian

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he told his disciples to return to Jerusalem to await a gift the Father would send them. 50 days later as the church met for the Festival of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended upon those gathered. The presence of the Holy Spirit was not just for them, it is for "all who have been called by the Lord our God" (Acts 2:39). What does this mean for us today? How does the Spirit act? What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit in the world and in the life of the Christian today?

The 1015 - Grace Conquers Sin

Jonah’s selfishness and anger are no match for God’s mercy and grace. 

The 1015 - God’s Kindness, Man’s Repentance

Jonah goes to Nineveh and warns them of God's coming judgment. The people respond by believing the message and repenting of their sin.

The 1015 - Moments of Crisis, Moments of Grace

Jonah's apathy and disobedience lead him to the depths of the sea where he encounters the fullness of God's grace.

The 1015 - God’s Justice, Jonah’s Apathy

A just and loving God sends the prophet Jonah to Nineveh in the hopes they will repent of their sins. Instead Jonah flees, demonstrating his heart of apathy, reluctance, and disobedience towards others. While our main text this week is Jonah 1:1-16, we recommend you read the entire book to see how this story plays out as we read and discuss it each Sunday in May.

The 1015 - Discipling the Next Generation

Jesus commanded us to “go and make disciples of all the nations”, but before we can go and make disciples of all nations, it starts in our home. While parents are the main disciplers of their children, each and every one of us has a role in making disciples of the next generation.
