Westcity Church

Love God | Love People | Follow Jesus

WE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL ABOUT JESUS

(Well, what did you expect from a church?)

We are old people and young, artists, people with disabilities, lawyers and plumbers, activists and accountants who have been captured by, and caught up in God’s Dream for the world and God’s purpose for our lives, that we see revealed in Jesus.

Maybe we are a church for those who don’t like ‘church’. A church for those who don’t want to play religious games or be entertained but on a good day, desire to live the love that God has shown us. HERE you can find out more on our vision, pilgrimage together, values, beliefs, practices and team. Also listen to our podcast The Westcity Way (episode 442, for the message given by Kelley Chisholm on Feb 4, 2024). This is a great summary on who we are as a church and what we are about – The Way of Grace.

Our desire as the Westcity community is to find God’s story in our stories and our stories in God’s story. Each week, we explore scripture so that it might capture our imaginations that we would be open to the Holy Spirit’s transforming work and be equipped to live God’s love.

Everyone is welcome and if you are unable to join us in person, you can listen to any of our Sunday sermons, via PODCAST on any of these platforms Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music Podcasts.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES

Series Overview

Women play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the Gospel story, and without their presence, faith, and actions, the narrative of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection would be incomplete, even non-existent.

When the disciples fled, it was the women who remained at Jesus’ side at Golgotha (John 19:25) and it was women who bankrolled Jesus’ Gospel ministry throughout his life (Luke 8:1-3). Indeed, it was Jesus’ own mother who (against Jesus’ own insistence) lovingly provoked him to enact his first public sign (as only a mother could – John 2:1-5).

As we are going to see throughout this series, it was women who first witnessed and proclaimed Jesus’ resurrection and it was a woman who first realised and acted upon the foretold crucifixion (Mark 14:3-9). It was (an adulterous) woman who is the first individual to receive Jesus’ judgment (mercy – John 8:1-11) and a woman to who Jesus plainly reveals himself as Messiah (John 4:25-26).

Last, but certainly not least… and it goes without saying, but, you don’t exactly get the birth of Jesus, without a very important woman. Women are central figures in God’s unfolding plan.

Advent kindles hope and renewal and that hope and renewal can be ours as we follow the author of “life, life and more life” (John 10:10 The Message).

Key Scriptures

Proverbs 31:10 – A woman of valor, who can find?

Isaiah 7:14 – Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

Luke 1:45 – Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!

John 1:1-14, Luke 2:8-16, Luke 4:16-20

Series Goals

This series aims to:

Progress through the Gospel narrative in reverse (i.e. from resurrection to incarnation)
Explore a few key moments, involving important women

This advent as we focus on the promise of hope and renewal that was fulfilled in Christ’s coming, we have a brilliant opportunity to share that hope in our families and with our friends (and enemies).

Let’s all catch the wonder and hope of His promises and let them settle deeply.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH

10am Children’s Program at Nanson Street

Godly Play is a great opportunity for children of all ages to listen, wonder and respond. We listen to the story, stop and wonder about the questions, then respond by doing our own work or play – each child can do their work differently.

SUNDAY YOUTH

10am Youth Program at Nanson Street

Sunday Youth (for high school age) happens during our weekend church service. It focuses on a facilitated discussion with a member of the teaching team or a specially selected church community member, around our church theology and how it relates to youth and culture. And we have fun!
