Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

THE GREAT GIVEAWAY | Generosity Inside My DNA | September 29, 2024 The story many of us believe is that the good life is found in getting *as much* as you can as *quickly* as possible. But this story is wrong. Jesus famously said the opposite - "it is more blessed to *give* than to *receive*" (Acts 20:35). In fact, Jesus claims that we’re made with a latent generosity within us because we are made in the Image of a generous God. We’ll look at how we’re actually hard-wired to give our lives away, and how that's the (not so) secret way to a truly meaningful life.

In one of His most famous teachings, when asked what the most important concept of the entire Old Testament is, Jesus says, that it’s to “love God” and then adds “and love your neighbor.” In this one teaching, Jesus forever links loving God with loving your neighbor. Later, in the Book of James, the author says that “faith without works is dead.” Loving God means using one’s life to serve and help other people who are in our circle of relationship. And doing so not only changes things around us, but also changes us. SPEAKERS: Finny Abraham (Saratoga), Keivan Tehrani (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): James 2:14-17…

In 1535, William Tyndale was burned at the stake at the order of the King of England for the grievous crime of translating the Bible into English, and then printing it and disseminating it. King Henry 8th was so furious, he burned 6,000 copies of the Bible. But today, we don’t burn the Bible. We just ignore it. In 2 Timothy 4, the Apostle Paul says what King Henry knew - that the Bible is dangerous because the Bible is no mere book. It’s the Word of God and it has the power to utterly transform us, in the process forging us into the likeness of Jesus in a world that desperately need it. The Bible really can do that. That is, if we let it. SPEAKERS: David Tieche (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): 2 Timothy 5…
What does it mean to change? And more importantly how does a human change? Is it even possible? Join John Ortberg as he shows that the 12 steps of AA are actually not only a powerful spiritual tool for us to truly examine our actual lives as they are in all of their brokenness, but to encounter the life transforming power of God - who is in the business of fixing broken humans when they come to Him in need.…
Perhaps nothing peaks our anxiety levels more than the “fog of uncertainty” around the future. What is coming down the road? Is it bad? Will I be okay? And that’s on a normal day. When actual bad news or events happen, it just exacerbates the worry. Now there’s *really* something to worry about. But we are not the first humans to worry about an uncertain future. Writing during a tense time of turmoil and persecution, the Apostle Peter wrote to a group of churches, advising them on some ways they could approach the uncertainty of life with both steady and enduring hope. And his advice back then is just as valid today - cast your cares on the LORD, for He won’t leave you like an orphan, but will take care of you. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): 1 Peter 5:5-10…
As we begin the New Year, whether we’re the “resolution-making” type or not, we’d all like to experience some sort of positive change in our lives. The story of God offers us a path toward not just “positive” change but the deep transformation we long for. But this requires a good deal of work on our part. Our lives are like icebergs. On average, only 10 percent of an iceberg’s volume is visible above the surface while 90 percent is submerged beneath the water. So we have to begin by asking the question, “What’s beneath the waterline, out of sight, in my life?” Which gets us into the difficult topic of mental and emotional health. Fortunately, Jesus himself embodies mental and emotional struggle—things like depression, anxiety, and anguish. And with Jesus as our guide, we too must become aware of and honest about our mental and emotional struggles, and begin there when necessary, so that God might guide us through. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Psalm 22:1-11…

WestGate Church Teaching
The prophet Isaiah, more than 800 years before the birth of Jesus, wrote that a Messiah would come, that the “government would be on His shoulders” and that His kingdom of justice of righteousness would last forever. This promise, of a King who will love what’s right and set things right, not only resonated then, but in our chaotic and broken world, resonates with us today. But. sometimes, we modern people, in our thirst for justice, skip over the “righteousness” part, and accidentally do harm. Or, we skip over the “justice” part, leaving empty non-sacrificial religion. But the kingdom of God is both justice AND righteousness. And together, these words show something not only about who God is, but what He’s up to and what kind of people He wants his image bearers to be.

When we think of Christmas, we might think of twinkling lights, or the words of Silent Night that say “all is bright, all is calm.” But that first Christmas was anything but quiet. The birth of Jesus was actually a conflict, as we see in the response of people in power, like Herod. And yet, into this world of conflict we hear the words of the Prophet Isaiah, who wrote, hundreds of years before Jesus was born, that someday, God will stop all conflict. The promise in Isaiah that God will burn (read: entirely destroy) the bloody boots and garments of conflict. And in this world, no matter what conflict we find around us (or even inside of us), the promise of Jesus is the promise of Peace.

1 ADVENT - WE’VE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT | The Light of Freedom amid the Darkness of Burden | December 8, 2024
More than 2400 years ago, a prophet named Isaiah wrote words of hope to his people, the Israelites, that someday God might send help - someone to “shatter the yoke of oppression.” Using extreme language, the prophet yearns for a time when God sends someone to “shatter the yoke of oppression” - removing for good suffering endured and suffering inflicted. And not just removing - but shattering. This is complete victory. There’s no shortage of suffering in our world today, from large-scale conflicts to interpersonal struggles which seem unlikely to change, if not intractable or impossible. And it’s into this kind of bleak world that God promises to enter. Freedom from deep suffering is actually the fruit of being near and connected to God and knowing that He is with us and for us.

1 ADVENT - WE’VE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT | The Light of Joy amidst the Darkness of Despair | December 1, 2024
The weeks leading up to Christmas are traditionally called “advent” - a word which means “arrival” - in which we take time to pause and reflect on the arrival of Jesus, and what that means and meant for the world and for us. The first week’s focus is on joy - especially in the midst of a dark world. But we have such a shallow understanding of joy; we make it synonymous with “pleasure.” But joy in the Bible - both in the New and Old Testaments - is not something manufactured or concocted or even based on “good” circumstances. It comes from God Himself - and is a fruit of being near and connected to Him and knowing that He is with us and for us. And SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Isaiah 9:2-7…
As we approach Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of our culture’s annual rhythm. But if we’re honest, most of modern Thanksgiving is more about making food and travel and watching the Detroit Lions than it is taking time to really let gratitude flow out of us. But gratitude isn’t just something we do to be polite - it’s a deeply formative practice. But it’s also one that’s fleeting in our fast-paced culture. But it’s more than simply taking time to slow down. The Scriptures tell us that gratitude isn’t merely thanking God for the good things we have in our lives, but a deep, settled peace that we can trust and accept from God’s hands anything and everything that comes our way - even very bad stuff - because in God’s hands, even very bad things can be turned into very good things. SPEAKERS: David Kim (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Luke 17:11-19 NIV…

1 PARTY CRASHER: How Jesus Disrupts Politics as Usual and Redeems our Partisan Divides | Whatever Happens | November 17, 2024
The phrase “whatever happens” doesn’t conjure up visions of stability. When people say that - “whatever happens” - it’s usually because something bad is going to happen. For the church at Philippi, this was the case. In his letter to the early church in that city, Paul understood that the political climate was going to get heated. The earliest Christians in Philippi were in all likelihood facing serious persecution for political reasons. Incredibly, within this context, the Apostle Paul (who himself was a Roman Citizen) tells this group of Christians that no matter what happens politically, that they were to remember that their citizenship is in Heaven and their King is not Caesar, but Jesus. This would have real implications for the way they lived their lives - but Paul’s advice still rings true for believers down through the ages. SPEAKERS: Steve Clifford (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Philippians 1:27-28 NIV…

1 PARTY CRASHER: How Jesus Disrupts Politics as Usual and Redeems our Partisan Divides | A New Paradigm for Politics - Part 2
Our political climate is marked by many things: outrage, fear, anxiety, concern. If there’s one word that folks would NOT use it would be “peace.” It seems that settled peace is not often present. So how do we get that? Well, if the story of Jesus is any indication, Jesus not only is the Prince of Peace, not only brings peace, but invites His followers to be agents of peace in a world full of conflict. But this will not just *happen* - it’s a work of grace that requires much of us, from listening well, to actively working for the good of those who consider us their enemies. But the words of Jesus say that peacemakers will be called sons and daughters of God, so his invitation to be peacemakers is an invitation to join the “family business” of God. SPEAKERS: Mark Averill (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Matthew 5:43-48 NIV…

1 PARTY CRASHER | Paradigm for Politics, Pt I - Worship, Love Neighbor, Image of God, Wisdom, Justice, Speech| November 3, 2024
Paradigm for Politics, Pt I - Worship, Love Neighbor, Image of God, Wisdom, Justice, Speech It’s pretty common, in our charged political environment, to see people using strong, harsh and even demeaning language toward those they disagree with politically. But what gets lost in the vitriol and name-calling is that the very things we fear at a broad, societal level - collapse, violence, destruction - is actually rooted in the posture we choose to take toward one another (and toward those on the other side of the political aisle) in the person, intimate level. It begins with the choice between dishonoring or dignifying those with whom we disagree, between loathing our enemies or loving our enemies. And the Bible is clear - if you claim to love God, and hate your brother or your sister, you’re lying and kidding yourself. Enter, the invitation of Jesus, to extend undeserved love to others just as you have been extended undeserved love by God Himself. And in doing so, we bring about a very different sort of Kingdom: the Kingdom of God Himself. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): 1 John 4:19-21 NIV…
