Reach Pt 2 | Until All Have Heard | Romans 15:14 - 21

June 09, 2024 17:00 - 37 minutes - 86 MB

As Christians, one of our highest callings is to reach the world with the Gospel. This can sometimes feel like an overwhelming thing. We may feel like our life is too busy to find the time for this, or maybe our fear holds us back from preaching the Gospel. These are places many have found themselves in, if you are feeling that you are not alone. We have the ability as Christians to invite God into this struggle, He will listen and strengthen us as we aim to grow in our mission of r...

Reach Pt 1 | The Power of the Gospel | Romans 1:8 - 17

June 02, 2024 17:00 - 34 minutes - 79.8 MB

Before Jesus ascended into heaven after His resurrection, he brought all the disciples together as a sort of final commissioning. We have come to know this as the “great commission.” He told them to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to believe in Him. This was the mission of the disciples after Jesus took His place at the right hand of the Father and it is our mission as followers of His, today. We are beginning a two-week sermon series labeled, Reach: Where There ...

Visiting the Romans Road: How to Share the Gospel - Chris Brooks

May 20, 2024 18:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MB

At Woodside, we believe in making disciples, by reaching the world and our local communities with the saving grace of Christ. People everywhere desperately need Jesus. Spreading the Gospel should not be difficult or anxiety-driven, but rather an authentic conversation on faith and the need for Jesus. The book of Romans points out our need for Christ, why it is essential to share the Gospel, and where our salvation comes from. We see four truths from various chapters in Romans on a b...

What God Says About Femininity - What God Says About Part 6 - Jacob Ley

May 13, 2024 20:00 - 41 minutes - 95 MB

As we wrap up our What God Says About series, it is necessary that we look at what God says about femininity, especially on a day that celebrates the wonderful mothers in our lives. God’s word is clear that it values women, and their role in the church, in families, and in the world. Proverbs 31 is one of the most highly quoted scriptures that points to the value and need for women. We see three important points from this chapter on how to honor the women in our lives. We should ack...

What God Says About Sex - What God Says About Part 5 - Joel Tomkinson

May 05, 2024 18:44 - 46 minutes - 105 MB

We have been working through our What God Says About series. This week we tackle a topic that is not often talked about in the church—sex. Scripture has much to say about it though, so it seems important we discuss what God has to say. God makes it abundantly clear that sex was created to be shared within the covenant of marriage, as two become one. The stain of sin in this world has sadly tainted the view of sex, painting it in a way that one should explore their sexuality, rather ...

What God Says About Work - What God Says About Part 4 - Jacob Ley

April 28, 2024 21:58 - 42 minutes - 97.4 MB

We are going through our series, What God Says About. This week we look at What God Says About Work. What we do matters to God. We are the representation of Christ, how we work reflects Him. Colossians 3:23 says we should “work heartily as for the Lord and not for men.” God commands us to work hard and to serve Him in all we do. In Proverbs, we find some examples of things that hinder us from fulfilling our call to work. There are three examples of obstacles we may face when it come...

What God Says About Friendship - What God Says About Part 3 - Jacob Ley

April 22, 2024 02:46 - 36 minutes - 84 MB

Last Sunday, we started a new series, What God Says About, taking insights from the book of Proverbs, and applying God’s wisdom to some everyday situations we may face. When it comes to the way we speak to others, what we say matters. Our words hold much power. We have the choice to speak words of life or words of death over those we interact with each day. From Proverbs, we pick up a few pieces of advice when it comes to this topic. We should aim to speak less and listen more, to s...

April 10, 2024 20:19 - 36 minutes - 83.1 MB

We are diving into a new series, What God Says About, looking at the book of Proverbs to glean wisdom from about how to lean on God in the situations we face each day.

Belief that is Alive - Easter at Woodside - Jacob Ley

April 01, 2024 03:54 - 41 minutes - 93.9 MB

This Easter Sunday we are ending our 'Believe' series, by diving into a commonly asked question, why should I believe in Jesus? There are many differing opinions that circulate in our culture, doubting the existence of Jesus. It can be hard to remain faithful to a God we can’t physically see, especially when our doubts drown out what we know to be true. Good news, Jesus isn’t shocked by our doubts! He invites us to bring our doubts to Him; He knows them and He will reveal the truth ...

final week of Jesus’ life. This Palm Sunday, we are beginning with true belief, and how that belief in Jesus shows in our lives. As we enter Holy Week, we begin with looking at Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, where the crowds placed palm leaves down as Jesus entered. They celebrated Him, acknowledging that He was there, in the name of the Lord. In the days to follow they did not yet know what would come. As their belief in the Savior was evident in their celebration, we see ...

It’s Not Just About Me - Confessions: Part 5 - Jacob Ley

March 17, 2024 18:00 - 38 minutes - 53 MB

Our series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, is ending. We have been slowly walking through Psalm 51, learning what true confession and renewal looks like. As we wrap up our series this week, we tackle the effect our sin and our confession of sin has on our communities. When one begins to experience transformational renewal, others will see and begin to desire that same revival in themselves. An individual's personal confession pleads for communal renewal. In tur...

Seeking Renewal - Confessions: Part 4 - Jacob Ley

March 10, 2024 20:53 - 43 minutes - 100 MB

This week we are journeying on in our series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, looking to Psalm 51 as a guide to help us in our journey of finding renewal in Christ. In times when we have messed up or let someone down, it is easy for us to be full of shame and think that hiding is better. But God invites us into something different. He tells us that we can experience life transforming restoration and renewal, when we go to Him in humbleness, He is faithful to hel...

It's On Me - Confessions: Part 3 - Jacob Ley

March 04, 2024 01:09 - 41 minutes - 94.1 MB

As we journey on in our series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, we will see that an essential part of confession is taking responsibility for our sin. In Romans, we see that Paul states, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” When we were born into this world, we entered into sin, our need for Jesus is very great. And the first step we take in the process of confession is realizing our sin and owning up to it. In confessing before God, it is imp...

God's Immeasurable Mercy- Confessions: Part 2 - Brandon Cleaver

February 26, 2024 02:14 - 35 minutes - 81.9 MB

When we appeal to the character of God and appeal to the cleansing power of God, we can experience His great mercy. Rather than carrying it on our own, the Lord is calling us to confess, surrender, release our grip on struggling to clean ourselves up. We can’t do it without Him. When we believe in Him and turn ...

When God Confronts Our Sin - Confessions: Part 1 - Jacob Ley

February 19, 2024 01:00 - 49 minutes - 114 MB

We are beginning a new series, Confessions: Erasing Shame and Experiencing Renewal, where we will look at 2 Samuel to better understand the role confession plays in our lives for us to find renewal. Today, we begin talking about this topic looking at David’s shortcomings when he gave into temptation and sinned against God. We see that the Lord confronts our sin so that we can experience renewal. To an extent, it’s as if we can have blinders on, where we can’t see the sin that tangle...

Faith in the Face of Lions - Daniel: Part 6 - Jacob Ley

February 12, 2024 14:09 - 45 minutes - 105 MB

Today, we are closing out our series, Daniel: Clash of Cultures, looking at the life of Daniel as he faced several difficulties and resided in a land that was hostile to God. As Christians, we are called to have faith, a faith that stands strong against the patterns of the world. Our faith can have an impact on the people and communities we are met with. We are the representation of Christ; the world is looking at us, watching our actions and lifestyle. God calls us to be faithful a...

Following a Father's Footsteps - Daniel: Part 5 - Jacob Ley

February 05, 2024 06:38 - 44 minutes - 103 MB

We are diving into another chapter in Daniel, looking at the fall of a king who opposed God. In this chapter, we see that God is sovereign over ungodly kings and kingdoms. We learn lessons from history and actively try not to repeat their past mistakes—it is the same for us as Christians. The word of God is full of stories of men and women who have fallen short, disobeyed God, forgot Him, and walked away, but thanks be to God that He never stopped chasing after them. We see that thr...

The Dangers of Pride - Daniel: Part 4 - Joel Tomkinson

January 29, 2024 06:03 - 45 minutes - 104 MB

Today, we are moving forward in our series on Daniel, looking at the journey of Daniel’s life and his courage to stay loyal to God whilst living in a culture that rejected God. Pride so simply entangles us in its grasp. It is easy to get caught in the success of what we complete or achieve and give ourselves all the credit, puffing ourselves up with more pridefulness. God warns us of the evil that can infect our hearts when we indulge in pride. But he does not leave us to figure it ...

Faith in the Furnace - Daniel: Part 3 - Jacob Ley

January 22, 2024 05:44 - 44 minutes - 101 MB

Today we will continue our series, Daniel: Clash of Cultures, looking at another courageous story of Daniel and his friends in Babylon. When faced with the direct command to bow down to a false image by King Nebuchadnezzar, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bend their knee to a fake god. They had the courage to refuse and remain loyal to God alone; even if their refusal meant a sentence to death. Through the bravery of these young men, we see how courageous faith rejects id...

A Kingdom Dream - Daniel: Part 2 - Jacob Ley

January 15, 2024 04:49 - 43 minutes - 101 MB

We are continuing in our series, Daniel: Clash of Cultures. Seeing how Daniel remained faithful to God in a culture that directly opposed and went against Gods commands. Have there been moments in your life when you faced great difficulties—feeling like God was so far away? It can be tempting to turn your back on Him when we go through those times. But we can remain dependent on Him. We will learn today that Gods wisdom, kingdom, and authority is greater. Listen to the newest sermon...

Welcome to Babylon - Daniel: Part 1 - Pastor Ryan Nast

January 08, 2024 01:12 - 38 minutes - 87.9 MB

As Christians in a modern world, we can feel like foreigners under pressure to blindly accept values that directly conflict with the gospel. Today, we're beginning a new series called Daniel: Clash of Cultures. When we step into the world of Daniel, we find ourselves in a land known for its excess, sin, and violence. This is also the reality of the age we currently live in. The key to Daniel's survival and ours is to recognize cultural influences, remain dependent on God, and receiv...

The Incarnation of Redemption - Emmanuel: Part 4 - Pastor Jacob Ley

December 25, 2023 04:22 - 43 minutes - 99.8 MB

We are concluding our sermon series, Emmanuel: God with Us, looking at the incarnation of Jesus; and how His birth and resurrection saved the world. Through God sending His Son, Christ has given us freedom—if we believe in Him. We can embrace God’s redemption in Jesus alone; by recognizing our condition, trusting in Gods saving action, and receiving His adoption. True freedom is found in Jesus—not the kind that allows us to do whatever we want; but the kind of freedom that releases ...

The Incarnation of Humility - Emmanuel: Part 3 - Pastor Jacob Ley

December 18, 2023 17:17 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

We are continuing in our series, Emmanuel: God with Us, looking at the incarnation of Jesus and its impact on the world. In a world that is very self-centered, as the body of Christ, who have been called to humility—it is vital that we reject this mentality and strive to put on humility. It is not always easy to deny ourselves and put others before our own desires, but when we are struggling with this we can look to the example of Jesus. Jesus led by His example of humility; we can ...

The Incarnation of the Word - Emmanuel: Part 2 - Pastor Brandon Cleaver

December 12, 2023 06:31 - 43 minutes - 98.8 MB

Today, we are continuing in our series, Emmanuel: God with Us. Words have much power; God gave us a book full of His words to speak to us. He not only speaks to us through His Word, but through His creation. John 1:14 reads, “The word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Through Jesus’ incarnation, He brought the Word to life. Jesus is God’s creating word, revealing word, and saving word. Join us today in the newest message of the series, The Incarnation of the Word, and hear about God...

The Incarnation of Glory - Emmanuel: Part 1 - Pastor Jacob Ley

December 03, 2023 18:22 - 40 minutes - 92.8 MB

We are beginning our Christmas series, Emmanuel: God with Us. Several have asked the question, “What if God was one of us?” Seeming to overlook the incarnation of Jesus. Each Christmas, many celebrate the birth of Jesus to the world, through this event, we see that God answered this question with the incarnation of Christ. Today, we will learn how we can see God's glory by beholding the person of Jesus and the work He accomplished through His time here on earth. Join us in the first...

The Absurdity of the Unforgiving Christian - Conflicted: Part 5 - Pastor Jacob Ley

November 29, 2023 02:47 - 48 minutes - 111 MB

Our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, is coming to a close. In this last week, we will look at forgiveness and how vital it is in the body of Christ. As we walk through this world, we will face pain. That pain may be physical or emotional, and it may be caused by a brother or sister in Christ. When they hurt us, it can be difficult to come to a point of forgiveness; only being able to after conviction and stirring of the Holy Spirit. Jesus gives us several ex...

Making Up Instead of Breaking Up - Conflicted: Part 4 - Pastor Jacob Ley

November 20, 2023 00:13 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

We are continuing in our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, learning the importance of handling bouts of conflict in a God-honoring manner. In our culture today, it is easy to succumb to the simple ways of handling conflicts—canceling each other. However, Jesus calls His children to a higher standard, one that honors and pursues peace within the body. He has given us a way to go about reconciling these issues within His word. Join us today and listen to the la...

Lost in the Crowd - Conflicted- Part 3 - Pastor Chris Brooks

November 13, 2023 02:55 - 35 minutes - 81.4 MB

Today, we move further in our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, taking place in the gospel of Matthew. We are to love and care for our family of Christ, the same way God has displayed to us. He calls us to not tear one another down but to lift each other up in love and harmony. The Lord displays, in His word, the importance of going after the ones who stray from the faith rather than canceling them. Listen to the newest message of the series and hear how God ...

Hindrance or Helpful - Conflicted: Part 2 - Pastor Jacob Ley

November 07, 2023 21:19 - 44 minutes - 103 MB

We are continuing in our series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, looking at the body of Christ and how to handle when conflicts arise. When we claim Christ, it is important that we stay vigilant of our words and actions. Our impact on others is vital, we should have a motive of not hindering others, but rather being a help. We should also look to be vigilant of our own sin and its impact on our life, removing it from our lives. Listen to the latest message of the s...

Embracing Inability - Conflicted: Part 1 - Pastor Jacob Ley

October 30, 2023 04:47 - 43 minutes - 99.7 MB

Today, we begin a new message series, Conflict[ed]: Pursuing Peace in a Cancel Culture, tackling the topic of conflict. We will look at the book of Matthew, as Jesus talks about the community of Christ and how to handle conflict in a Christ-like manner. Christ makes it clear that the foundation of our relationships should always begin with humility. He always brings us to a point of internal reflection; in that He wants us to examine our hearts to see the state of it. In turn, befor...

Today we continue in our series, Thy Kingdom Come, looking at the Gospel of Mark. We will be reminded of the great comfort that Jesus reigns over creation. There are times when we face all-consuming anxiety, when doubts and what-ifs fill our head. In these times, we can lose sight of God and forget that He is near.

As the word deepens itself in our lives, it will reach further, sin...

The Seed is the Word - Thy Kingdom Come: Part 3 - Pastor Jacob Ley

September 24, 2023 23:37 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

We are moving forward in our journey through the gospel of Mark, where we will be met with the question, what is your heart towards Jesus’ word? In Mark 4, Jesus tells a parable that describes the different types of soil of the human heart. Jesus states that there are four kinds, the hard heart, shallow heart, distracted heart, and fertile heart. As we contemplate the state of our hearts, Jesus drives home the importance of having a fertile heart --one that is obedient and open to t...

Jesus asks some thought-provoking questions in the gospel of Mark, which will call us to examine our hearts and ask...
