Prayer Over Might | Kingdom Values | John 17:1-8

Power is not found in force but in surrender. When we rely on our own strength, we grasp for control, but Jesus shows a better way through prayer. In John 17, He lifts His eyes to the Father, choosing alignment over striving and trust over self-reliance. Kingdom people do not reach for the sword first. We reach for the Father. Prayer becomes our first instinct, shaping our hearts to His will, His work, and His presence. Step into a life where communion with God leads the way.   Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give   FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church:  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville  ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville  ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

Set an Example | 1 Timothy 4:11-16

Don’t wait to be older, louder, or more qualified to lead. God calls you to live a life worth following right now. In your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your purity, you are already setting an example. Stay rooted in truth, grow in what He has given you, and refuse to coast. Watch your life. Watch your teaching. Keep going, because what God is forming in you will impact more people than you can see.   Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give   FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church:  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville  ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville  ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

Pursuit of Righteousness | Matthew 6:33

We don’t drift into righteousness. We pursue it. What fills your thoughts when you wake up and what lingers before you sleep reveals what your life revolves around. Jesus calls us to seek His Kingdom first, to hunger and thirst for what truly satisfies. When righteousness becomes our pursuit, we don’t just find direction, we find fulfillment. Chase what lasts.   Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give   FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church:  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville  ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville  ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

SERVE | Week Five | Ephesians 4:1-16

We weren’t called to spectate, we were called to build. When every believer embraces their role, the church becomes what Christ designed it to be, united in Spirit, grounded in truth, and growing in love. God has given each of us grace to serve, to strengthen one another, and to speak the truth in love so the whole body can grow in Him. Step out of passivity and step into your purpose, because every member is a minister.   Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give   FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church:  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville  ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville  ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org

SERVE | Week Four | Philippians 2:1-10

Selfish ambition builds empty lives. When we live for ourselves, we miss the joy we were made for. Jesus shows a better way through humility, surrender, and sacrificial love. Take on His mindset, look beyond yourself, and discover the life that comes through serving others.   Invest in the mission and vision of Westside: https://westsidebaptist.org/give   FOLLOW Westside Baptist Church:  ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/westsidegainesville  ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/westsidegainesville  ► Website | https://www.westsidebaptist.org
