Kingdom Community | Week Four | 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12

Holiness isn’t isolation. It’s transformation in community. In 1 Thessalonians 4, we’re reminded that God’s will isn’t vague or mysterious: it is our sanctification. Kingdom people are called to abstain from sexual sin, abound in brotherly love, and aspire to quiet, faithful lives that honor Christ. Our bodies belong to God. Our brothers and sisters belong to God. And our best life is found within the King’s boundaries.   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

Kingdom Community | Week Three | 1 Thessalonians 3:1-10

Community is worth fighting for. Distance, distraction, and the enemy work overtime to keep us isolated, but Jesus calls us into face-to-face faith, resilient relationships, and shared hope. From prayer to perseverance, Kingdom Community is built when we show up, stand firm, and walk together. Discover how God uses people to strengthen faith and bring lasting joy.   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

Kingdom Community | Week Two | 1 Thessalonians 1

God’s Word doesn’t just inform us — it transforms us. A Kingdom community joyfully receives the Word, faithfully repeats it, and increasingly reflects it in everyday life. Even in hardship, the gospel takes root, bears fruit, and sounds forth to the world. Jesus calls us to more than hearing; He invites us into living obedience, holy perseverance, and a life worthy of His Kingdom and glory. Come rediscover the joy, power, and stability of building your life on the Word.   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

Kingdom Community | Week One | 1 Thessalonians 1:10

In 1 Thessalonians, we see a church chosen by the Father, called by the Spirit, and covered by the Son. Their faith worked, their love labored, and their hope endured even amid afflictions. This message explores the marks of a Kingdom community: a people changed by the gospel, joyful under pressure, and impactful far beyond their city. May we become the kind of church that doesn’t just gather, but radiates a community shaped by faith, love, and hope as we live for the coming King.

Seek First | Week Four | Luke 12

Fear was never meant to rule your life. When money becomes our security, anxiety takes the crown—but Jesus offers a better Kingdom. “Fear not, little flock… seek first the Kingdom.” As we trust the Father, prayer aligns our hearts, generosity releases heaven’s resources, and our treasure reshapes our freedom. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.   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
