    Getting Intentional With Your Faith

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds Faith is more than something we believe—it's something we live. But how do we turn spiritual excitement into meaningful action? In this encouraging lesson, we explore Paul's instruction in Ephesians 5:15-16 to walk wisely and redeem the time God has given us. Drawing from Jesus' encounters with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:5) and Bartimaeus (Mark 10:49), we discover three essential characteristics of intentional faith: noticing others, preparing for opportunities, and taking action. Through Noah's example of obedience, Colossians 3:23, and Paul's reminder in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7 that God provides the increase, we're challenged to move beyond good intentions and put our faith to work. God provides the growth, but He calls us to plant and water. Are we prepared for the blessings we've been praying for? Join us at Westside KCK Church of Christ as we learn to make every opportunity count, serve with greater purpose, and live a faith that doesn't just believe—but acts.

    The Work Isn't Finished

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds "Thus far the Lord has helped us." — 1 Samuel 7:12 Those words remind us of two important truths: God has been faithful, and there is still work to do. After a year of remarkable growth at Westside KCK Church of Christ, this lesson looks back with gratitude and forward with renewed purpose. From increased attendance and improved outreach to the baptism of precious souls, there is much to celebrate. But the mission of the church has never been simply to grow in numbers. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His followers to make disciples. In Ephesians 4:15, Paul teaches us to speak the truth in love. And in John 13:35, Jesus declares that our love for one another will identify us as His disciples. This lesson is a call to every Christian to move beyond the sidelines, embrace opportunities to serve, encourage fellow believers, and remain steadfast in biblical truth. The Lord has brought us this far. Now, what are we willing to do for Him?

    See That You Are Not Troubled

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds There is always something new to fear. Another crisis. Another prediction. Another alarming headline. Another person insisting that this time, the end is near. Yet in Matthew 24:6, Jesus says, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled.” His promise is not that frightening things will never happen. His assurance is that no matter what happens, God is still God. In this lesson, we look at why Christians do not have to live in a constant state of fear and panic. James 4:13–14 reminds us that we do not know what tomorrow will bring, and Matthew 24:36 teaches that no one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return. Instead of trying to calculate God’s timetable or allowing fear to control our decisions, Jesus calls us to trust Him and faithfully serve God today. Habakkuk 3:18 gives us a picture of that confidence: even when everything around him fails, the prophet declares, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord.” Titus 2:13 likewise reminds Christians that Christ’s return is our “blessed hope.” We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds eternity. Jesus Christ will return, and the Christian’s responsibility is not to predict when—it is to be ready. So don’t panic. Don’t obsess. Don’t allow fear to make your decisions. Listen to Christ, trust God, live faithfully, and “see that you are not troubled.”

    The Bible Does Not Contradict Itself

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds The Bible Does Not Contradict Itself Critics of Christianity often point to differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and claim that the Bible contradicts itself. But a difference in detail is not necessarily a contradiction. In this lesson, we examine the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection and see how four different perspectives work together to give us a fuller picture of the same truth. By comparing the women who came to the tomb in Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1, Luke 24:10, and John 20:1, as well as the accounts of the angels in Matthew 28:2–3, Mark 16:5, and Luke 24:4, we see that one writer including a detail another leaves out does not make either account false. John himself explains that he did not record everything Jesus did (John 20:30–31; 21:25). Instead, the Gospel writers give us complementary testimony pointing to the same central truth: Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead. As Paul declares in 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. And because, as 1 Corinthians 15:14 reminds us, our faith depends upon the resurrection, these accounts deserve careful study rather than quick assumptions. Following the example of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, we should search the Scriptures, examine the context, and test what we hear. Four Gospel writers. Four perspectives. One Jesus. One cross. One empty tomb. One Gospel. He is not here, for He is risen.

    When Worry Chokes The Word

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds Worry and anxiety can become like thorns—slowly wrapping themselves around our hearts until our spiritual growth is being choked. Jesus describes this danger in Matthew 13:22: the seed grows, but “the worries of this life” choke the Word and make it unfruitful. The problem isn’t simply that we have cares; it’s when our cares have us. In this lesson, we consider how worry can consume our attention, drain our peace, and keep us from producing the spiritual fruit God desires. Jesus calls us to seek His kingdom first and reminds us not to worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:33–34). Philippians 4:6–7 teaches us to replace anxious thoughts with prayer, and 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast our cares upon God because He cares for us. There will always be another problem, bill, deadline, or uncertainty demanding our attention. But we don’t have to let temporary cares choke something of eternal value. Jesus still invites the weary and burdened: “Come to Me…and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

    Come to the Feast

    Preacher - Pacer Blevins Those words from Jesus’ parable in Luke 14:16–24 capture one of Scripture’s great invitations. God has prepared the feast and opened the way for us to come to Him, yet Jesus warns that people can become so occupied with everyday life that they turn down what matters most. This lesson explores the excuses made by the guests in Jesus’ parable and the excuses we still make today. Possessions can capture our hearts. Careers, school, and busy schedules can consume our time. Even family can become an excuse for neglecting God when family should instead give us an even greater reason to seek His guidance and serve Him faithfully. God offers something far greater than anything this world can provide. Jesus came that we might have abundant life, and in John 14:1–3 He promised to prepare a place for His people. Revelation 7:16 and Revelation 21:4 give us glimpses of that promised home—a place without hunger, scorching heat, death, sorrow, or pain. Then comes another challenge from the parable: invite others. When there was still room at the banquet, the master said to go into the highways and hedges and compel people to come so that his house might be full. Christians have been given the privilege and responsibility of sharing Christ’s invitation with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and those who are struggling. Romans tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, but Christ paid the price for our sins. In Mark 16:15–16, Jesus commanded that the gospel be preached to all creation, and Acts 2:38 records Peter’s call to “repent and be baptized” for the forgiveness of sins. All things are ready. Come to the feast—and invite someone else to come with you.

    How to Make Christianity Feel Like Good News

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds “Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” — 1 Peter 3:15 That verse assumes something important: Christians have a hope that other people can see. In this lesson, we explore how our lives can make people curious about Jesus. Philippians 2:14–16 calls Christians to shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Matthew 5:16 tells us to let our light shine so others can see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. That light is especially noticeable when the world around us is filled with anger. When others are furious, we can be peaceful. When others are cruel, we can be kind. When people assume the worst, we can be gracious. When rumors spread, we can care about truth. And when the world seems hopeless, Christians can demonstrate the “living hope” described in 1 Peter 1:3. Our goal is not to win every argument or prove how much better we are. Romans 5:8 reminds us that “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” We are people who needed rescuing ourselves. We cannot convert anyone by force or argument. God gives the increase. But we can live so that someone eventually asks, “Why are you different?” When that happens, we have an opportunity to point beyond ourselves and say, “Let me tell you what Christ has done for me.” Give them a reason to ask.

    How to Be a Christian the Rest of the Week

    Preacher - Phil Reynolds It's easier to remember we're Christians when we're surrounded by Christians. But what happens when Sunday worship ends? Jesus didn't say, “You are the light of the church building.” He said, “Ye are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14–16). In this practical lesson, we explore how our daily Christian walk can shine before others through the way we speak, listen, serve, forgive, handle inconvenience, and respond when life doesn't go according to plan. From Paul's instruction to do everything in the name of Jesus in Colossians 3:17, to Peter's call to live honorably and “be ready always to give an answer” in 1 Peter 2:12 and 3:15, Scripture reminds us that people are watching how Christians live. Even Paul and Silas, imprisoned and suffering, prayed and sang praises to God—and “the prisoners heard them”(Acts 16:25). The challenge for this week is simple: each morning ask God, “Help me represent Christ well today.” Then look for a person to encourage, an opportunity to help, and an opportunity to mention your faith naturally. Don't merely attend church on Sunday. Be the church wherever you go Monday through Saturday.
