Pastor Kevin West
Such a sweet spirit as we gathered together online to receive communion walking into the Holy Week. Pastor Kevin speaks an incredible sermon called “Be Opened”.
In “When God Opens a Door” Pastor Kevin shows that many Christians are looking through spiritual windows rather than walking through doors God is opening. He not only provides the key to the door, but He opens an entire new realm of possibilities in the Spirit to challenge and excite you.

Guest speaker Dr. Lynn Hiles discusses the difference between law and grace in “Rules Or Relationship?” Believers have the choice of trying to live a performance-based life or one that is a mutual loving relationship with Jesus Christ.
In “The Mystery in Worship” Pastor Kevin brings us through the Old Testament when sin required consequences and justice, to the Cross where the Blood of Jesus brought mercy. At that point righteousness and peace kissed each other, truth met mercy, and now we can worship in Spirit and in truth.

In Part 3 of his series, “No Stoppers” Pastor Kevin uses the example of Elisha healing bad waters with salt to show that you are to do that spiritually in the world today. You are to pour the salt of the Word and the love of His Spirit into the hearts of those around you. Let your life make them thirsty enough to drink!
In Part 2 of “No Stoppers” Pastor Kevin shows how believers can be theologically correct but relationally wrong. Only when we have enough love in our own hearts to look beyond the sin and see the person Jesus loves intensely will we be truly effective in being a witness for Him.
Pastor Kevin opens the new year with his message, “No Stoppers.” He explains that fear will prevent you from moving forward and possessing the spiritual territory God has for you. When you look beyond fear and see the possibilities, then fear crumbles and vision becomes reality.
In “Creating The Atmosphere” Pastor Kevin and Pastor Stephanie demonstrate how creating a climate of worship will bring forth fruit from the spiritual seeds within you. When the worship ascends the rain of the Spirit will begin to fall.
In “Spiritual Conception” Pastor Kevin shows how the Holy Spirit conceives visions and dreams in you without the help of other human beings. If there is a conception then there must eventually be a birth. Carrying it to “term” may be difficult, but joy will come when the delivery is complete.
In “His Presence” Pastor Kevin shows how believers are carrying God’s Presence and are His change agents in the earth today. Since He has promised never to leave us His Spirit enables us to continue and expand the great works that drew multitudes into His kingdom.
In the concluding message of his series “Greater Things” Pastor Kevin shows how the flow of God’s spiritual river may take you right into the heart of the devil’s kingdom. Though you may not understand His direction at the time it will prepare you to use what you learn there to go from the ordinary to extraordinary and for the extraordinary to become normal.
In “Greater Things-Part 2” Pastor Kevin shows that the only way to do the works of God is to believe on Him and to know that He is both willing and able to do those works through you. It is imperative to know who you are in Him, and to believe that you are His hands and His voice in the world around you.
In “Greater Things”, Part 1, Pastor Kevin shows how Jesus said that because you have His Spirit you can do the same and greater things than He did while on earth. That ability is based on the strength of your relationship with Jesus, not any abilities you may have. Always seek to know and love Him more; the “doing” will follow naturally.
In his concluding message of the series “The Rewards of His Suffering” Pastor Kevin shows that you must create the atmosphere for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Evict anything that contradicts your availability to receive healing, deliverance, and peace so that Jesus gets all He paid for at Calvary.
Pastor Kevin brings part 2 of “The Rewards of His Suffering”, using Isaiah 53 as the descriptive cost of Christ’s agony on the cross. If the bill has been paid for salvation, healing, and a productive kingdom life then we should be bringing to Jesus the continual proof of His power within us.
In “It’s All About The Harvest” Apostle Jim Hodges shows that the Bible is a harvest manual that tells us to be productive, be purposeful, and be powerful. Using Luke 10 he emphasizes the need for prayer that the Lord will send forth laborers into God’s harvest. And if you pray that prayer, be assured that you WILL be sent!
In this morning’s sixth anniversary celebration of Expression Church Pastor Kevin brought the message entitled “Cut The Cord.” We must sever all ties to fear, shame, and the performance syndrome to allow Jesus to cleanse us from failure and dress us as the royalty we are. Cut off the past, and follow His command to live HIS life through us!
In “The Same Power” Pastor Kevin stresses that you have more within you than you realize, and God places people around you to draw it out. Regardless of circumstances and obstacles the only path to take is forward. You have come too far to quit now!
In “Kingdom” Pastor Kevin explains that for the Spirit of God to manifest on the earth He must work through His people. His earthly kingdom is within our hearts. Only by turning that kingdom inside out can we be the loving voice and hands of Jesus to minister to a wounded world.
In “When Death Has Picked A Fight” Pastor Kevin shows that the greatest battle is not the situation itself but the struggle in prayer during the situation. When you are genuinely connected to the Lord in prayer He will not only bring the solution, but He will give the wisdom and strength to deal with it.
In “Won’t Let Go” Pastor Kevin explains that sometimes circumstances cloud your vision of Who God is and how He has always been faithful to care for you. This reassuring message will remind you once again that when it feels like you can’t hold on, then God’s hand holds you even tighter. His love just can’t let go!
Most people seeking employment often look first for what benefits come with the job. In “Psalm 103” Pastor Kevin reminds us of God’s list of benefits that come with our job description as believers. No earthly employer can top HIS offer!
In today’s message Pastor Kevin asks if you are going “From The Hearing To The Seeing”. Can you still trust God when you have a promise but don’t yet see the fulfillment? Proof of your faith is in waiting for HIS timing.
In "Religion Or Reality" Pastor Kevin shows that believers know how to talk like Christians but are not truly living in freedom in the kingdom of God. Real proof of Jesus living within you is demonstrated, not just talked about with others.
Worship blended into personal ministry and back into worship in a special move of the Holy Spirit today. Sometimes the message is not a sermon but simply His Presence settling our hearts.
The story of Joseph’s imprisonment in Egypt in Genesis 40, 41 illustrates that much can happen during the times when the Lord seems to be silent. In “God’s Timing May Be Between The Verses” Pastor Kevin explains that God’s plan is always in progress even though time and circumstances seem to hinder it.
In “Building Favor In Famine” Pastor Kevin shows how Joseph endured imprisonment, loneliness, betrayal, and famine before he finally found favor. Likewise God will use what seems to be your mistake or even tragedy to show you not only His favor but His faithfulness.
In “Homes, The Building Blocks Of Churches” Pastor Kevin emphasizes that individual home units must be based on God’s structural foundation. When the members of those homes then come together in a church the combined strength and unity not only edifies each member but attracts those who need a sure foundation in Christ.
Pastor Kevin discusses the availability of great resources in both the world and the Church. In “Managing Resources God’s Way” Pastor Kevin explains how Christians can best steward those things to advance the kingdom of God on earth.
Are you living your imaginations? In “Change The Picture” Pastor Kevin stresses the importance of casting down imaginations that are often false and rooted in fear. Only when the mind “pictures” are changed to positive ones based on the Word of God and His faithfulness can you live in peace and fulfill your destiny.
In “By Water and By Spirit” Pastor Kevin shows how a believer in Jesus needs a baptism in water followed by a baptism with the Holy Spirit. When the spiritual fruit and gifts follow these baptisms one more person is fully activated to terrorize the devil and populate God’s kingdom!
In "Expression Church-5Years!" Pastor Kevin rehearses how the Lord has brought us from temporary to a permanent home Through it all the Lord served us unconditionally out of His abundance of salvation, healing, and love. As a church we strive to serve others in the same way!
This morning was a special time of song, praise, exhortation, and prayer. Let yourself flow in the Holy Spirit as you become part of this worship experience
Which is easier to do, go forward into an uncertain future or step back into the comfortable, familiar present? In “Cross The Line” Pastor Kevin shows that it takes courage to leave the past behind and let God reveal the promised land of opportunity waiting for you to discover!
In Part 5 Of “Life After Death” Pastor Kevin explains that the process of answered prayer is far more important than the outcome. We want the “gold” of our own answers in our own ways. But God knows that pure gold goes through fire and time to be of its highest worth.
In Part 4 Of “Life After Death” Pastor Kevin uses the example of the woman with an issue of blood to show how it takes courage to go against society’s protocol standards. She wanted Jesus and her healing badly enough to risk everything to get to Him. Do you?
In Part 3 Of “Life After Death” Pastor Kevin presents you with a choice. Will you settle for the comfortable, familiar restrictions that don’t require moving forward or will you get up and learn to live in freedom with responsibility? Do life. Don’t let it “do” you!
Today was a special day of worship, honoring the 25-year ministry of children’s pastor, Pat Michael, and an encouraging word to start the week by Pastor Kevin. God has a place for everyone to be fruitful in His kingdom.
In Part 2 Of “Life After Death” Pastor Kevin discusses how ‘first love’ is the love that Jesus has for you, not your love for Him. If you don’t live out of His love your Christian life will be based on works only, not out of a joyful service based on mutual love.
In Part 1 of “Life After Death” Pastor Kevin explains the difference between trying to follow a religion that stresses a list of “do this, and don’t do that” or having a true relationship with Jesus that changes your culture. You have a choice of struggling with your old nature or allowing Jesus to make you into the new creation He intends you to be.
Jesus never takes you out of your world but rather brings His world into yours. In “God’s Kingdom Invasion” Pastor Kevin explains how to live a kingdom life in a very earthly environment. When Jesus invaded the earthly kingdoms He enabled His Church to do the same.
In “Eternal Things That Matter” Pastor Kevin shows us that even the worst of trials lasts only a moment compared with eternity. God puts us in situations greater than our own strength to show us what and Who is in us so that we can do the exploits He knows we can do!
In “Chains Off, Walk Free!” Pastor Kevin uses the example of Peter’s imprisonment to show that once God breaks the spiritual chains off you, then you need to walk out of the mental prisons in your life. God didn’t promise an easy walk, but He did promise to walk beside you forever!
In “God’s Call Is An Invitation” Pastor Ronnie shows that how you respond to God’s call on your life is an option. You can view it as an obligation or as an invitation. What you decide it is determines the degree of fulfillment and the amount of joy you have in your relationship with God.
Pastor Kevin declared in his message that today can be your “Independence Day.” Jesus came to bring deliverance to the captives of sin, not to bring judgment. Come out of your spiritual prison and be the light to your world that He intended you to be.
The music segment was greatly anointed by the Lord, and Pastor Kevin did not interrupt the worship that followed. Soak in the sweet Presence of the Holy Spirit in song and in prayer during this special service today
When the Israelites crossed from the wilderness into Canaan God no longer provided manna to eat. They now ate what the Promised Land produced. Pastor Kevin applies this same principle to your new life season in “Old Manna Or Fresh Produce?”
In “The Bridge To Hope” Pastor Kevin explains how important it is to go from relying on what you see to trusting the Spirit to fulfill your hope in the unseen. By allowing the Holy Spirit to pray for us in our times of weakness we can move away from self-reliance into dependence on His strength, and therefore His perfect outcome
There comes a time when you must take your dreams, however long they have been put on a shelf, dust them off, and activate them. In “To Dream or To Do?” Pastor Kevin explains how to reignite your vision, go beyond the planning, and begin to build again.
In this special Mother’s Day message Pastor Kevin uses the example of Deborah, a female judge, to show how a “mother in Israel” could change a nation. She stopped trying to fix the situation and rose up to eliminate the source of the problem. What God said to her He says to all: “Rise Up!”
In “The Seed In The Stump” Pastor Ronnie explains that we may have experiences that cut us to the very heart of what we are. We often don’t see ourselves as God sees us, but He allows circumstances to expose the seed of His greatness in us and to make that seed produce the fruitfulness that He envisions.
In “Don’t Forget The Fragments” Pastor Kevin explains that Jesus will make use of every bit of your life, including those parts you think should be discarded. When He enters your situation it often is not in the way you expect, but He will use the parts you call “waste” to nourish you and many of those around you.
If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you? In “The Point Of No Return” Pastor Kevin asks if you simply must speak of the things you have seen and heard Jesus do. Only actual experience with Him allows you to give eyewitness accounts!
Special guest Marty Gabler delivers a powerful prophetic word just for Expression Church. Hear what the Lord says that is perfectly in tune with the next 50 and beyond!
A credible witness gives firsthand accounts of what he has personally seen, heard, or experienced. If required to prove that Jesus is alive today could you demonstrate it through your own life? Pastor Kevin explains how to go from theology to actuality in “Evidence Or Hearsay?”
There is no more joyous time for Christians than the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Join us for this Easter extravaganza in song and expressive dance followed by Pastor Kevin's message "God Had a Dream."
In "Receive So You Can Give" Pastor Kevin shows how you as a Christian cannot truly love and give to others until you first learn to receive genuine love from Jesus. Once you let the unconditional love of God fill you then it will flow from your heart to all those around you desperately needing that love.
When David found himself surrounded by people so discouraged that none could help him then he reached inside himself for the memories of all that God had done in the past. Pastor Kevin shows you how to get up and charge ahead in "When There's No One But God."
In the continuing series on the life of David Pastor Kevin explains that the process between the promise and its fulfillment is the most critical part of your journey. But when you know that Jesus is THE way, THE truth, and THE life you also know that He is your beginning, your end, and "Everything in Between!"
David had a Goliath, a Saul, and incoming javelins before becoming king of Israel. In "Just In Case" Pastor Kevin describes how a spiritual Goliath, Saul, and javelins are sent by God to teach you to fight for the vision He has given you. The process is painful, but the results are eternal!
Using the story of David and Goliath Pastor Kevin explains how a stone and the enemy's own sword in the hands of God's child made Israel's foe her slave. Learn how to defeat the spiritual giants hindering your life by implementing three important principles in "Goliath, You're Going Down!"
In “God, The Devil, Or You?” Pastor Kevin explains that it is not always easy to determine the source of the affliction. What is critical is to grow during it and realize that you will come through it victoriously. You have a Guide Who has been there before you!
Using the prodigal son as an example Pastor Kevin asks if you view your relationship with God as a servant or as a son who is heir to all. Your choice determines how much you give, and how much you receive.
Have you ever considered that difficult situations could be good gifts sent from the Father into your life? Pastor Kevin explains that God loves us enough not to leave us in our self-made boxes. Learn how to break free in “Living Beyond Your Boundaries. “
Today’s service was the year in review by Pastor Ronnie, resolving to ACT in 2018 through Audacity, Consistency, and Tenacity by Pastor Stephanie, and a call to come to the King’s table by Pastor Kevin. Get up, and get moving. You are royalty!
Today we celebrate the birthday of our Savior in song, dance, worship, and a message. Enjoy the 2017 version of An Expression Family Christmas Live!
The Lord interrupted the plan of the service, and everything flowed in His direction this morning. Enjoy the worship, testimonies, and prophetic words that came from hearts close to His own
After a beautiful start with worship, water baptisms, and baby dedications, Pastor Kevin tops it all with his message entitled “What Will Be Or What Is?” We can either live hoping for a better future or start discovering what God is doing in our lives right now. He is at work, even when we can’t see it.
Can you be peaceful in the midst of stressful circumstances? Is your foundation shaken when life isn’t living up to your belief system? Pastor Kevin explains how to turn fear into assurance with his message “Peace Be Unto You.”
The Lord moved in prophetic words instead of a sermon today. Listen to His voice as God speaks into various life situations. He has a word for YOU!
In “You Are Different” Pastor Kevin teaches us that as long as we are looking at ourselves we cannot see Jesus. When we get our eyes off ourselves and our failures , we see Him in all that HE is. At that point our behavior begins to change, and we become like Jesus!
In “His Grace Is Sufficient” Pastor Kevin shows how God’s individual, specialized circumstances in your life are designed for two things: to show you His loving grace in the good and the bad and to toughen you to be able to withstand anything. The challenge is letting Him do the work without your “help!”
Pastor Kevin reveals the goodness of God in our lives even when "we can't see it." He shows us the parallel between us and the Israelites as they were on their journey from what appeared to be security to a place that required risk into the Promises of God. When we move from just discussing the memorial of God to the current news of God which is us living our lives abundantly in the land that flows with milk and honey.
In “Without Spot Or Wrinkle” Pastor Kevin shows the difference between viewing yourself through your own eyes or through God’s eyes. You have a choice of looking at dirt (flesh) or looking at divinity. He LOVES what He has made. So should you!
Join in the celebration of our church dedication service today as Pastor Kevin and staff share the remarkable journey of the past four years. From a small white building with 60 people through another nine locations God has shown us through His faithfulness how to be the expression of Christ in every day real life!
In “No Condemnation” Pastor Kevin shares the good news that those who are in the Spirit are free from condemnation. If God isn’t keeping a record of your shortcomings then neither should you. Walk in the freedom He died for you to have.
In Part 4 of “Illumination” Pastor Kevin poses some questions: Are you following Jesus as He was before His resurrection or after it? Do you see Jesus as He was on earth or what He is today? The answers determine what YOU are now!
Rev. Jim Hodges from Dallas, Texas brings a stirring message on the DNA of a true Jesus movement. In “Recovering Apostolic Momentum” Pastor Jim lists three challenges Jesus gave in Matthew 4 to everyone who is a believer. Have you met those challenges successfully?
When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit they activated a death process that should have been subject to them. In Part 3 of "Illumination", Pastor Kevin shows us how to bring the "over there" of heaven into the "down here" of earth.
If you are willing to sow the seeds of your dreams into God's spiritual soil you will learn His ways and not just His actions. In Part 2 of "Illumination" Pastor Kevin explains how you can have less fear of God's process when you know He will always bring life out of death.
In Part 1 of "Illumination" Pastor Kevin explains that when Jesus brought the Light He also separated revelation from ignorance. Once you see His Light you must continue in it, or the devil will sabotage you in darkness.
First message in our new church home: "Tap What's Within You!" Pastor Kevin caps off our celebration service by showing that all the resources we need to fulfill God's dreams in our hearts are already within us. We just need to tap into them.
In his tribute to our last temporary home, Pastor Kevin prepares us for transition in "One Last Time." Next week we will open the doors not only to a new building but also to a future that the Holy Spirit will set ablaze with His power!
Today's service was a flow of praise and worship that continued to build. Exhortations by Pastor Kevin and others emphasized the need to create the atmosphere and soak in the Holy Spirit "rain" that fell. Enjoy!
In "The Power of the Holy Spirit," Pastor Kevin shows that you are like a modern-day Ark of the Covenant that carries the actual Presence of God. When you truly realize what it is you carry you will walk every day with your "inside" OUT!
In week 4 of "What Lies Ahead," Pastor Kevin declares that God is about to thrust us into areas well beyond our capabilities and skill sets. What we pray for in secret will become an open display, and what we dream about will become reality when the Holy Spirit empowers His Church. That's US!
Are you paralyzed by fear as you stand at your personal "Red Sea"? Continuing in "What Lies Ahead," Pastor Kevin assures us that when we take steps forward we will see God remove the barriers so that we can see the salvation of the Lord. Get moving!
In the second week of "What Lies Ahead," Pastor Kevin shows that you have a choice between bowing to the pressure of the world system or submitting to God's process of building your life in Him. You can take the easier road or let God take you on His path to Life. Hint: choose Life!
Before Peter denied Him Jesus assured Peter that He had already prayed for him, knowing that Peter's greatest test of his faith was about to occur. In "What Lies Ahead" Pastor Kevin shows that true repentance means not just changing your actions but changing your thinking. Only then will you stop repeating failure.
In this special "Independence Day" service there was freedom in worship, individual ministry, and prophetic declarations. Pastor Kevin concluded with an exhortation to bless others by letting yourself become the unique person that God created you to be.
In Pastor Kevin's continuing series "God's Ways" he explains that many have dreams and abilities bottled up inside of us. Will we open ourselves and control the contents to bless just a few? Or will we allow ourselves to be broken so that the flow is unhindered and blesses many?
Pastor Kevin continues with Part 3 of "God's Ways" in which he explains how necessary it is to step beyond your comfort zone into the vision God has for you. When you rely more on the Holy Spirit than on the practical you will see Him move in supernatural ways you never dreamed possible.
In Part 2 of "God's Ways" Pastor Kevin shows that the Church must not only minister to unsaved and hurting people, but also to the healthy world-changers in the congregations. Move beyond the pain of your past to dreaming the big dreams God has for you and watching Him bring them to fruition.
As unbelievers and even as new Christians we know only how God acts in certain situations. Pastor Kevin explains that we first must learn how much God loves us. Then, as we return that love, we will learn "God's Ways".
