Dynamic Faith
I’m thankful for you and all our teams who have planned and participated with excellence during this season of new things. I am additionally thankful that we’ve been able to adapt Sundays and some of our events to new formats. VBS has been a mainstay for decades in our kids,…

On-campus services at West U Baptist (8:30am Traditional, 11:00am…
Freedom
Tomorrow is our country’s 244th birthday. I am proud to be called an American citizen, to be living in a country in which people are free. While our country provides us many liberties, none compare to the freedom we experience through a relationship with our Lord. On that topic, for today’s…
Look Up in the Chaos
We’re past the midway point of June, which means the year is close to half over! 2020 will certainly be a milestone year for the record books. Isn’t it incredible to think that, after the historic events we’ve faced and continue to deal with as of today, we’ve only gone…
This Sunday: A Very Special Sermon

New Things
Photo by Steven Kamenar on Unsplash Question: How far can you walk into the woods? No, this isn’t a challenge I’m laying down to you. It’s a riddle! You may have heard it before. The answer is tricky because of how simple and logical it is. So, how far can you walk into…
