WestWay Christian Church

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Gospel of Mark ends with three women going to the tomb three days after the crucifixion of Jesus. They arrive at the tomb, only to find the stone rolled away and instead of the body of Jesus, they meet a man who tells them Jesus has risen from the dead.

In Mark 11:1-11, Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, and the crowds welcome him as one who comes in the name of the Lord. Join us as we join them in praise Jesus this Sunday.

A relationship with Jesus changes who we are.

At the end of chapter 8, Jesus told the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me." Beginning in chapter 9 and running through the rest of Mark's Gospel, Jesus will teach what that means through his words and actions.
