Wake Up! (Let’s Get to Work)
In a world marked by injustice, fear, and suffering, followers of Jesus are called to more than comfort, they are called to action.

Peace in the Waiting
In the midst of life’s waiting seasons, true peace can feel out of reach.

This Advent devotional explores how God’s promises, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the arrival of Jesus Christ invite believers to experience peace that surpasses all understanding.

In Luke 1:46–55, Mary sings a bold song of praise that flips the world right-side up.

Jesus is the Savior who brings justice, hope, and liberation—past, present, and forever. Join us as we explore how Mary’s praise leads us to a deeper Advent expectation and a revolutionary faith in the One who has come and is coming again.
Why Should We Trust the Bible?
Why can Christians trust the Bible? This week at Westside Church NJ, we explored the powerful historical, scientific, and spiritual reasons Scripture stands as the true, authoritative Word of God. From its divine origin to its supernatural preservation to its unified testimony about Jesus, the Bible proves itself trustworthy time and time again. Discover why God’s Word remains the foundation we can confidently build our lives on.
Why Should I Forgive?
When we refuse to forgive, we’re not protecting ourselves — we’re imprisoning our own hearts. In “Let’s Talk About It Pt. 6: Why Should I Forgive?” Elder Wes Hillman’s message from Matthew 18:21-35 reminds us that forgiveness isn’t weakness; it’s freedom. Through Christ, we are called to release others the same way God released us — with grace, mercy, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Christianity and Social Justice
Is social justice actually biblical? In this week’s message from our “Let’s Talk About It!” series, we explore how justice isn’t a political trend—it’s the character of God revealed through Scripture. Before culture ever defined “social justice,” God commanded His people to defend the vulnerable, uplift the oppressed, and walk in mercy, humility, and truth. Learn why Christianity and justice are not in competition, why Jesus embodied justice in His ministry, and how the Church today is called to live out the Gospel through compassion, sacrifice, and action.
Do People Really Go to Hell?
Hell is real — but so is hope. In this week’s message, Pastor Med brings clarity and compassion to one of the most difficult questions in Christianity: Do people really go to hell?

Why Am I Still Waiting for My Blessing?
Still waiting on your blessing? In this message, Elder Sam reminds us from Deuteronomy 8 that God’s delays aren’t denials—they’re divine preparation.
