What is Back to Church Sunday all about? It's thousands of churches coming together to create space for our friends, family, and community to come hear about the hope of the Gospel. It's a chance to reconnect with our Westside family who have been away, and to welcome new guests who are trying church for the first time, or coming back after a while.
What is Back to Church Sunday?
Hope for the Doubter
October 10, 2021 • John 20:19–29
Doubting Thomas had a hard time believing the unbelievable news about Jesus' resurrection. There's an important lesson for us to learn about the role doubt plays in our journey by looking at how Jesus and the rest of the disciples responded to Thomas' lingering doubt.
Hope for the Underdogs
October 3, 2021 • Bryan Fojtasek • 1 Samuel 17
David wasn't the right man for the job. That's if you judge him based on what everyone else saw: A young, inexperienced shepherd who wasn't supposed to be at the battleground to begin with. But when David saw Goliath standing up to defy God and the armies of Israel, he knew he had to act. David came from a complicated family with a scandalous past, he didn't have the right experience or training, and no one expected him to come out on top. But because David trusted in God's power, he was victorious. His story shows us that with God, there's hope for the underdogs.
