Merry Christmas! Why do you think God is making you wait? We all have things we are waiting to start, stop, come, go, or change. But for some reason, God is making us wait, why?
Join us in Luke 2:22-40 as Pastor Noah Tyler walks us through Jesus being Presented, Prophesied, Proclaimed & Praised as the Messiah. It turns out that God used Simeon and Anna's waiting to shape their wanting-- waiting is going to help people define what is worth being devoted to.

Ever wish you never met someone one? That person's impact on your life is probably a net negative effect. A good friend has a good effect on you because Good Friends Are Good For You.

Kingdom, Power, Glory 36:05

7 weeks ago36:05

36:05

What if you were standing on the edge of something big-- something really big-- and you missed it? Actually, what if we are missing a lot of big opportunities because we are focusing on the wrong priorities? Pastor Noah looks 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 to learn about King David's prayer and the Christian history of ending The Lord's Prayer with "For yours in the Kingdom, the power, the glory, forever. Amen." If we were to start looking at our lives through this lens and praying with the type of faith represented in this line of the prayer, we might not miss when God walks by right in front of us-- which is what happened on Palm Sunday so many years ago.

Today's Bread 37:46

10 weeks ago37:46

When we are dependent on others we can begin to feel unsafe, but Jesus teaches us to come to God for even the bread we need today. While it seems scary and unnatural, Jesus teaches us something surprising: Daily Desperate Dependence on God Produces Peace. Pastor Noah Tyler walks the Westmark Family through some of the implications of praying "give us today our daily bread." The challenge today is to avoid our normal reaction, instead-- don't just do something, sit there. Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together.…

Your Kingdom, Your Will 32:20

What does it mean to win in life? Jesus calls us to do something so unnatural for us, we are immediately opposed to it-- asking God for him to win, even when it means we need to lose.

The most rewarding relationships you have are rewarding because you trust the other person enough to be yourself. Yet, in our relationship with God, how often do we struggle to be real?

Join us as we kick off our sermon series, The Lord's Prayer. Pastor Noah Tyler takes a bird's-eye view of Matthew 6:1-18, emphasizing not just what Jesus is telling us we ought to do, but recognizing the way that Jesus teaches our hearts to be positioned so that we can know our Father and know His rewards for us. Being real with God is the most rewarding life. Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together.…
