THE AFTERWORD: THE GREAT GIVEAWAY | Generosity Inside My DNA | September 29, 2024

Sunday, September 29, 2024 • Duration

Hey kids! Today, we’re going to talk about the intersection of religion and money! What could possibly go wrong! Jay and Dave talk about ways that Christian leaders have talked about money that’s destructive, and some better ways to discuss this sensitive but important topic. We also dive into some of the research that seems to demonstrate that Jesus was right when he said that “it’s more blessed to give than to receive.” We also examine some of Jesus’ words about generosity and how His (counterintuitive) teachings help us reexamine our lives. Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim

THE GREAT GIVEAWAY | Generosity Inside My DNA | September 29, 2024

Sunday, September 29, 2024 • Duration

THE GREAT GIVEAWAY | Generosity Inside My DNA | September 29, 2024 The story many of us believe is that the good life is found in getting *as much* as you can as *quickly* as possible. But this story is wrong. Jesus famously said the opposite - "it is more blessed to *give* than to *receive*" (Acts 20:35). In fact, Jesus claims that we’re made with a latent generosity within us because we are made in the Image of a generous God. We’ll look at how we’re actually hard-wired to give our lives away, and how that's the (not so) secret way to a truly meaningful life. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Matthew 6:19-23 NIV

THE AFTERWORD: Loving (Difficult) People

Tuesday, September 24, 2024 • Duration

Most people fall into one of two categories. When conflict - or just difficult interpersonal things - inevitably happen, they either “cut people off” or they “care too, too much.” South Hills congregation pastor Archie Jackson stops by to talk about how Jesus challenges both sets of people when it comes to dealing with people who are difficult to love. We chat about Jesus’ command to love one another, why the Church is more like the Muppets than we’d like to admit, and why it’s so draining to try to connect to some people. Speakers: David Tieche + Archie Jackson

RENEWAL IN THE (SILICON) VALLEY | A Renewed City, Church and World | September 22, 2024

Sunday, September 22, 2024 • Duration

In Luke 13, Jesus prays for His disciples, that they would love one another well. Jesus even says that people will know they are Jesus’ disciples by the way they live one another. But wow - this is not always easy. There are some people in our lives who are a real challenge to love. We dive into ways to love difficult people, realizing that often, it’s not even about them, but about how we respond. Because being patient, kind and forgiving is the way that Jesus treated us, and extending that love that God gave to us to other people is the way of Jesus. SPEAKERS: Archie Jackson (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Colossians 3:12-14

RENEWAL IN THE (SILICON) VALLEY | Renewed by Love in an Age of Fear | September 15, 2024

Sunday, September 15, 2024 • Duration

How much do you worry? Are you pretty unfazed by life, or do you trend toward anxiety? Is worry a sometimes annoyance, or a constant companion? Jesus talks about worry plainly in the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus’ message is pretty simple: knowing and experiencing the love of God drives out fear. In this way, fear is like a dashboard warning light, driving us to God to deal with the underlying concerns and worries we have about being left out, not having enough, or not being enough. And by bringing our fears to God, and being honest about them before Him, we find that God is inviting us to trust in His provision and presence. And like a candle drives out darkness, God’s presence can drive out fear and we can experience…peace. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), David Tieche (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Matthew 6:25-30 NIV, 1 John 4:13-19 NIV

THE AFTERWORD: A Panel Discussion on the Communal Rule of Life | September 8, 2024

Sunday, September 8, 2024 • Duration

We all want (or want to want) renewal from God in our life. And we know it’s something only God can do in us. But that this work is not passive, and that we have a role to be intentional. This past weekend, our staff outlined seven (7!) spiritual practices forming a “wheel of formation” or a communal rule of life that act like a trellis helps a vine grow. Dave and his three (3!) guests talk through each of the seven spiritual practices and their location in the life of the early church. And then in a candid discussion, we explain how the seven (Commit, Gather, Grow, Connect, Serve, Give, Invite) have shaped us personally and helped us become more like Jesus. Speakers: David Tieche + Archie Jackson + Ruth Beteivaz + David Kim

RENEWAL IN THE (SILICON) VALLEY | Communal Rule of Life | September 8, 2024

Sunday, September 8, 2024 • Duration

In the Book of Acts, as the early Church is being launched and birthed, two things are clear. One, it’s the work of the Spirit of God that’s creating and formed and shaping this group of early Christians. And two - this group is doing everything they can to participate with God’s Spirit in this work. Renewal and transformation is a work done by God alone, but it’s not a passive thing and it requires intentionality. In this panel discussion, WestGate’s pastors discuss some core things the early Church teaches us that mark committed effort toward collective formation into Christlikeness. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): John 15:4-5, Acts 2:41-47

THE AFTERWORD: Renewal in the (Silicon) Valley - Week 1

Sunday, September 1, 2024 • Duration

AFTERWORD DESCRIPTION: This Fall, we're talking about renewal, which simply means being realigned with God's presence. Jay stops by to talk about why this message is so personal for him. How is renewal different/distinct from revival? Are there aspects of it that we can control? And I ask Jay how does the vision from an ancient prophet named Ezekiel of a dry valley filled with dead bones relate to Silicon Valley? Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim

RENEWAL IN THE (SILICON) VALLEY :: Breathing into the Valley of Dry Bones :: Sept 1, 2024

Sunday, September 1, 2024 • Duration

In the Book of Ezekiel, God takes the prophet Ezekiel into a valley filled with dry, dusty bones of things that have been dead for a long time, and then asks Ezekiel, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel stammers back, “Only you know, Sovereign Lord.” Which is the correct answer. Sure, God *can* do anything He wants, but will He? Will He bring bones back to life? Only God knows. This story rings true, even for us today in our own valley. Everyone knows that the Bay Area is one of the most irreligious and unchurched areas not only in the United States, but the world. And it can seem rather hopeless at times. And in a valley filled with wealth, but in short supply of hope, filled with innovation, but in such short supply of wisdom and righteousness, can God bring even this valley back to life? Only God knows. And although we have no control over what He does or does not do - but we can take small steps to prepare our own hearts for God’s presence in hopes our renewal might spark something - not just in us, but in those around us.

Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration

Swoboda, who not only spoke at our 2024 Formation Conference but also over the weekend at all our of campuses.

Why Doubting Thomas shouldn't be called that 3. The practical implications of tongues of fire descending on people's heads on the Day of Pentecost and 4. Why Jesus's most important question to us might very well be, "What do you want?" Speakers: David Tieche + David Kim + Ruth Beteivaz
