Weekly preaching from Westwinds Community Church

What if we’ve been missing the point? Jesus’ teachings weren’t just meant to be heard—they were meant to be wrestled with, lived, and reshaped over time. In this message, we explore how His words challenge us to rethink what we’ve assumed, sort through what really matters, and embrace a deeper, truer way of living.

Let’s talk about what it means to actually live the teachings of Jesus.

View Details

What does it mean to be a real difference-maker in the world? In this message, Pastor Phil Stout unpacks Jesus’ challenge to his followers—to go out as ambassadors of a new way of living. But instead of power or control, Jesus calls for wisdom, authenticity, and a willingness to love even in the face of resistance.

How do we navigate a world full of noise, division, and conflict while staying true to what really matters? Let’s talk about it.

View Details

What if the way we see the world is completely upside down? In this message, Pastor Phil Stout explores the Sermon on the Mount and the idea of the “upside-down kingdom” Jesus taught about—a way of living that flips the world’s values on their head. From turning the other cheek to embracing humility, we’re invited to see life through a new lens.

Join us as we dive into what it means to live differently, with hope, peace, and purpose.

View Details

Can miracles really happen? In this talk, Pastor Cory dives into the story of Jesus turning water into wine and explores how we can find hope and take action, even when life feels uncertain. It’s a fresh take on balancing what’s in our control and trusting the bigger picture.

Tune in for an honest conversation about faith, choices, and finding our way through the messy parts of life.

View Details

What does your life say about what you value most? In this message, Pastor Cory Doiron kicks off the Epiphany series by exploring how the Magi’s journey to Jesus invites us to reflect on the trajectory of our lives. Are we chasing the temporary or building something eternal? With themes of stars, struggles, and stronger wine, we’ll discover what it means to center our lives on the way of Jesus.

Let’s start this year with purpose and direction. Join us for this inspiring message!

View Details

What does peace really mean? This week, Pastor Phil Stout reminds us that peace isn’t just the absence of conflict—it’s the powerful presence of Christ in our lives. From guarding our hearts and minds to reconciling differences, Jesus shows us a peace that transforms. Join us as we reflect on the gift of true peace proclaimed that first Christmas and how we’re called to live it today.

Peace be with you this Advent season!

View Details

This week we dive into the idea of joy during the Advent season, but not the kind of joy we usually think of—like happiness or bliss. Instead, it’s about a deeper, more soul-level joy that comes even in the middle of hard times. Pastor Cory looks at the Christmas story and points out how Mary and Joseph’s journey was full of struggle—oppression, shame, and even rejection. Yet, in the middle of all that, there was this announcement of "good news" that brought hope.

The message really challenges us to see joy differently. It’s not about avoiding pain or pretending life is perfect—it’s about finding God’s presence right there in the mess of it all. Whether it’s through ancient traditions, like the psalms and teachings of the Jewish people, or through the story of Jesus as Emmanuel, “God with us,” joy is something we learn through shared struggles and solidarity.

View Details

Think of it like this - we often have these preconceived ideas about who God is, right? Maybe we picture an angry judge keeping score of our mistakes, or someone distant and unreachable. This sermon dives into how those expectations often miss the mark, especially when we look at the Christmas story. The whole point is that God's love isn't something we earn - it's just who God is, all the time, no matter what. It's kind of mind-blowing when you think about it: Jesus didn't show up to convince God to love us (God already did!), but to help us understand just how loved we already were. It's like the Pastor Josh says - sometimes we get it in our heads, but it takes time to really feel it in our hearts. And that's okay - it's more about the journey than how quickly we get there.

“You are not oiling the wheels of a machine that’s about to roll over a cliff. You are not restoring a great painting that’s shortly going to be thrown into the fire. You are not planting roses in a garden that’s about to be dug up for a building site. You are—strange though it may seem, almost as hard to believe as the resurrection itself—accomplishing something that will become in due course part of God’s new world. Every act of love, gratitude, and kindness; every work of art or music inspired by the love of God and delight in the beauty of his creation; every minute spent teaching a severely handicapped child to read or to walk; every act of care and nurture, of comfort and support, for one’s fellow human beings and for that matter one’s fellow nonhuman creatures; and of course every prayer, all Spirit-led teaching, every deed that spreads the gospel, builds up the church, embraces and embodies holiness rather than corruption, and makes the name of Jesus honored in the world—all of this will find its way, through the resurrecting power of God, into the new creation that God will one day make.” — N.T. Wright

Christianity ... "has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. It is a scandal that there is not one single Jew who is a beggar, and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but for ours as well; while those who belong to us look in vain for the help that we should render them." - Roman Emperor Julian (361-363)

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mahatma Gandhi

View Details

[the ever advancing technologies that this generation has grown up with] “have made it possible to communicate in ever more extensive and complex ways. But they have also facilitated lifestyles where people are in touch with conversation partners on the other side of the planet, but not with next-door neighbors; where insurance lies in investments and pensions, rather than in friendships and extended families; and where face-to-face human interactions ceasing to become the encounter of choice for a generation who are used to having plentiful alternative ways to make themselves known to one another. The flipside of making ourselves more independent and self-sufficient is that we are simultaneously becoming more isolated and more alone. ... If you see the central quest of life as overcoming isolation, rather than morality, your notion of mission will change accordingly”

  • Samuel Wells, from the Nazareth Manifesto

“Evidence of the presence of the Kingdom of God is thick wherever and whenever people stand on the promise of God that there is more to this world—more to this life—than what we see. There is more than the getting over, getting by, or getting mine. There is more than the brokenness, the destruction, and the despair that threaten to wash over us like the waters of the deep. There is a vision of a world where God cuts through the chaos, where God speaks and there is light. There is a vision where there is protection and where love is binding every relationship together.” - Lisa Sharon Harper
