New Messge Series

This Sunday we will launch into our summer message series. The title is "Games of Life." We will be using many of the games we remember playing as kids as metaphors for the assumptions we make about life. We all play life by a certain set of rules. This series will examine our assumed rules and lay them against God's word. I am looking forward to this series, it should be fun, creative and hopefully very relevant to your life. this is a great time of the year to invite your friends to come and experience a Sunday with us. Just maybe your invitation is the very thing that crank starts some one's relationship with God.

See you on Sunday

Baptism

This video is one or our recent baptisms at Western Hills. Each baptism is special because it is someone's life changing for eternity. This baptism is unique because it was 2 brothers being baptized by their father. The video includes their testimonies and the church celebrating following the baptism.

God Bless

A Baby Blessing on Mother's Day

Parents, you been blessed with these children. As a church we believe they are a gift from the hand of a loving creator.

As parents, will you partner with God and with the members of this church to assist your children in growing, as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man? With humility and hope, will you love and nurture them and to lead them to faith?

The charge above is one we gave last Sunday to the parents of our "new babies." We also took on some promises as a church to be a part of the lives of these children and to help them grow in faith.

May God bless all of us as we live out these promises.

Who is church for?

We used this video last summer during our "Mythbusters" series. I thought it deserved one more shot here on the blog. The video is a parody commercial for a church where it is all about YOU! I am so glad that God is creating an atmosphere and attitude at Western Hills where we realize that church is not about us. Church should never be a place where we take our eyes off of the mission and start griping to get it our way. People are LOST and we need to be passionately focused on introducing them to Jesus, after all it is HIS church anyway. May God continue to bless Western Hills and keep us all focused on the mission.

Love Ya Much
