(Continuing our series in Colossians) How often is there an appealing idea that looks like it could work better or be better than Jesus? Paul gives us clues to a more mature life and faith, the soil where discernment grows so deception can be avoided.(Colossians 1:24-2:5) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20261025_DavidM.pdf

(Continuing our series in Colossians) We get an origin story of Jesus as Paul us understand who the "Son" really is - how he can hold things together and heal things that are broken. (Colossians 1:15-23) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20261018_DavidM.pdf

Gratitude can be a window into our priorities. We start a new series in the NT book of Colossians. The letter is framed by thankful prayer, a window the faith, love and hope of this early church community. (Colossians 1:1-14) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20261013_DavidM.pdf

We wrap up The Way series with what it means to grow and be in mission “together… for the sake of others,” the early church understanding of “partnership in the gospel” (Phil. 1:3-6, John 1:51) If you’re a WSGer don’t miss this important conclusion to the series that gives us a fresh posture and purpose to our mission.

In our series, The Way, we move from finding and following Jesus, to heart of how 'life to the fullest' is nurtured - being formed in the way of Jesus. Join us to explore how Christ is formed in you, and you are formed in Christ. (Gal 4:19, Eph. 4:11-15, Mt 28:19) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20260927_DavidM.pdf

Curiosity can get us to the offer of life that Jesus holds out for us, but the true experience comes when we start following. (John 1:35-43, 8:12, Matthew 16:24) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20260920_DavidM.pdf

Jesus invites us to, gives us and forms us into a new way of life - “life to the fullest.” We kick off this new series with how this life begins, by finding Jesus.

Reflect on your summer with God to help you step into the fall with Him (Ps. 139:23-24) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20260906_DavidM.pdf

What sustains the kind of good that overcomes evil? The early church didn't just rely on virtue, but a source of life that is beyond our own morality. Part 2 in Romans 12:9-21 calls us to this source! Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20260830_DavidM.pdf
