Pray for who you are, what to do, where to go

Most of us have said it before: "I was going to..." So much regret can be tied up in those words. I was going to lose weight. I was going to fix it. I was going to forgive them. I was going to quit that. I was going to finish that. No one plans to live an "I was going to" life, but many people end up drifting into one. In this message from 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, Pastor Noah Tyler, Lead Pastor of Westmark Church continues the Praying Like Paul series by looking at how Paul prayed for believers to become who God called them to be, to do what God placed before them, and to live for the glory of Jesus. Paul's secret is not to just try harder. Paul actually prays that God would make these Christians worthy of their calling as Christians, that God would empower their good desires and faith-moments, and that God would aim their lives toward the glory of Christ. It turns out that trying harder had nothing to do with it, but just asking God to intervene. If you feel stuck between good intentions and real obedience, this message is. call to stop simply feeling regret. It's a call to make sure you don't end up with an "I was going to" kind of life. Instead, pray. Pray to be who you're supposed to be. Pray to do what you're supposed to do. Pray to go where you're supposed to go. Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together

How to Pray for the People You Love

There are some people you don't just think about-- you carry them. A child making choices that scare you. A friend drifting from Jesus. Someone suffering, lonely, or pull in in the wrong direction. You love them deeply but you can't control them. So, what do you do with that burden? In 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13, Paul shows us what love does when it cannot fix, control, or be present: love turns into prayer. Listen as Pastor Noah preaches from 1 Thessalonians 3 and shows us how to pray for the people we love: thanking God for the grace we see, praying earnestly for unfinished faith, asking God for overflowing love, and praying that those we love would be ready to meet Jesus. If you love people, pray for them-- not just that life would get easier, but that their faith would grow deeper.

Praying to Know What to Do

What should you do when you don't know what to do? Is your first instinct to pray? People pray for all sorts of reasons-- We pray before meals, we pray when the test results come back. We pray when the relationship is falling apart. We pray when we get pulled over. And, sometimes, even people who say they don't believe in God find themselves crying out to him when they don't know what else to do. Working through Philippians 1:9-11, Pastor Noah Tyler finds the answer to this simple question: What should you do when you don't know what to do? Paul's answer may surprise you. He doesn't simply pray for circumstances to always be easy, He prays for something much more fundamental. This message explores how th love of Jesus changes the way we see our decisions, our relationships, our suffering, our future, and our everyday lives. We also look at the story of a hardened sailor caught in a deadly storm, whose desperate prayer-- "Lord have mercy"-- became he beginning of a life transformed by amazing grace. Today, if all you can pray is, "Lord, have mercy" let's start there and see where God would take us. Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together

Pray for Power

What should we pray for when we feel weak, empty, worn down, or stuck? In this message from our Praying Like Paul series, Pastor Noah Tyler guides us through Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21 to learn to pray for power. But it isn't what you might think of when you first hear "power." Not power so we can become more impressive, but power so we can become closer to Jesus. Paul prays that God would strengthen us through His Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through Faith. He also prays that we would have power, together with Go's people, to grasp the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love, and be filled with the fullness of God. Whether you are joining us live or watching later, this sermon is an invitation to pray bigger, deeper, more gospel shaped prayers. God is is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power at work within us. Westmark Church is a Family Growing Together

Pray for Unity

We all want our prayers to matter. Even people who struggle to believe in God will reach out to him in times of distress and pain. But is your whole prayer life praying for your food, safe travels, and sweet dreams? By looking at the content and heart behind the Apostle Paul's prayers in the New Testament, we will discover how to take our prayers to greater heights, into greater depths, and find ourselves shaped by the heart of God. This week Noah Edmonson, PhD student at DTS and University of Oxford, challenges our approach to God in prayer. We can be encouraged, given hope, all of which pushes us to unity in Jesus. Is that what's happening in your prayer life? If not, listen close as Noah walks us through Paul's prayer in Romans 15.

Pray to Understand What We Already Have

We all want our prayers to matter. Even people who struggle to believe in God will reach out to him in times of distress and pain. But is your whole prayer life praying for your food, safe travels, and sweet dreams? By looking at the content and heart behind the Apostle Paul's prayers in the New Testament, we will discover how to take our prayers to greater heights, into greater depths, and find ourselves shaped by the heart of God. This week Joseph Pelton, Young Adults Minister at Westmark Church, leads us through Ephesians 1:3-23 and challenges our approach to God in prayer-- we don't need more, we need to understand what we have.

The 7 Deadly Sins: Lust

In this final sermon from our Seven Deadly Sins series, Lead Pastor Noah Tyler begins in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 on to teach on lust as a disordered love of sexual pleasure. Looking at a number of different scriptures we see that lust promises satisfaction, but it slowly deceives us, isolates us, and teaches us to use people instead of love them. But the gospel offers something better. In Christ, we are fully known and fully loved. In Christ we are made holy, blameless, and free from accusation-- which means we can belong. Jesus does not merely call us away from impurity; he calls us into healing, freedom, and life in the light. Scriptures referenced include 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, Matthew 5:27-28, 1 Corinthians 6:16, 2 Samuel 13, John 8, and Colossians 1:22.

The 7 Deadly Sins: Gluttony

This week at Westmark Church, we continue our series on the Seven Deadly Sins with a heart-level look at gluttony. Gluttony is not merely about eating too much. It is about being ruled by appetite. In Philippians 3:17–21, Paul warns about those whose “god is their belly,” showing us that appetite can become a master when food becomes more than food — a refuge, reward, medication, or source of satisfaction. In this sermon, Pastor Noah Tyler looks at how gluttony can show up through indulgence, control, comfort eating, emotional distraction, and the search for satisfaction apart from God. But the gospel gives us a better hope: our citizenship is in heaven, Christ is transforming our lowly bodies, and the Spirit teaches us self-control. We’ll also consider how the practice of fasting trains our hearts to say no to lesser satisfactions so we can hunger more deeply for Jesus, the Bread of Life. Scripture: Philippians 3:17–21 Series: The Seven Deadly Sins Preacher: Pastor Noah Tyler Church: Westmark Church Join us as we learn to receive food as a gift, resist appetite as a master, and find fulfillment in Christ that was never in the fridge to begin with.
