West Church Podcast | Mooresville, Lake Norman, NC | Relevant messages for today
Welcome to West Church LKN! A message from Rev. Dr. Andrea Smith: West is a group of people that worship together, online or at Lake Norman High School, Mooresville, NC. 9 AM online service on Sundays, 10 AM in-person. If you come to West on a Sunday morning, you’ll find folks dressed in shorts and tee-shirts or athletic apparel, some coming straight from their soccer game. In winter, a pair of jeans and sweatshirt is common. At West, “all” means all people are welcome, and we actually live out that core value. West is an inclusive, safe community and we are not ashamed to say that. We believe in being real and relevant. We want to meet you where you are in your life. You’re not going to hear that there are absolutes — all questions and all pathways of exploration are welcome. We practice what we understand to be the Jesus way, which is radical love and acceptance. We encourage you to ask questions and wrestle with what we say on a Sunday morning. We don’t invest a lot of money in facilities. We worship at Lake Norman High School through an amazing partnership with the Iredell School System and have a strong online community. By not having a dedicated building, we can invest our money in community missions. Major missions: Support a sister church and orphanage in Uganda. Produce an annual Back to School Bash, where 1,200 disadvantaged students receive shoes, clothing, and supplies so they’re ready for success in school. Ding Dong Ditch Christmas MissionVisit www.headingwest.org for more information and to receive a free gift. I would love to hear from you. I’d love to know what questions you have about West. Email me or text 704-928-6083. Rev. Dr. Andrea Smith Pastor at West Church LKN info@headingwest.org

Ever feel like you need a little hope? Do you find it hard to find that hope? Hope is achieved by remembering promises. Promises that we aren’t alone, we don’t have to be afraid, that we are engulfed in a Love so powerful, so all-encompassing, it never dies. Despite whatever crap life throws at us, we can always have hope. In this message series we will explore how historical promises display hope.

- 479 - Deconstructing Religion Worship Series: Different Perspectives
Our new Deconstructing Religion worship series looks at what is at the root of who we are and what we believe. Over the years we were taught to believe certain things. In today’s society, people are starting to turn away from what they have always been taught and told about religion. As a Christian community we are going to look at some of the things we have been taught and examine difficult passages in Holy Scripture and see what they really mean and really say to us.

Father Richard Rohr writes,“Have you ever noticed that the expression ‘the light of the world’ is used to describe the Christ (John 8:12), but that Jesus also applies the same to us?”We need to start trusting our own aliveness so that we can be the light in the world for one another.What does that mean?It means listening to our gut when we don’t want to do something or act in a certain manner.

- 460 - Greed: The Art of Letting Go
Did you know that there are more Self Storage Facilities (businesses, not only individual units) than there are McDonald's in the United States? The Self Storage industry also brings in $20 Billion MORE per year than McDonald's...that's wild! In this sermon, Lexi Hernandez encourages us to look at greed through the lens of letting go. In what ways can we show greed that are outside money and possessions? Have you ever considered that we may be greedy about our time, our expectations of o...
Mon, 22 May 2023 - 459 - Selfless Love | Loving the People
How many of the 10 commandments do you know off the top of your head? Have you ever lived in fear of breaking those commandments, thinking God was out to get you if you had? Join us this week, for a special Mother's Day Sermon about selfless love. Jesus always aired on the side of "loving the people". When we go into the world and be "love" to and for others, we not only change ourselves, but we have the opportunity to bring about change in the world. West Church | Mooresville, Lake Norman, N...
Sun, 14 May 2023 - 458 - Judging is all about the comma
“Just not, least you be judged” is a scripture verse we often hear. Believe it or not, the meaning all comes down to a comma in how we understand that verse and what it was probably intended to mean to be when Jesus said it.This continues our series on Cancel Culture. What are some things you’d like or need to cancel out of your life? We live in a time where “cancel culture” is a real thing. We cancel things that are hurtful to humanity!

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 - 452 - Stopping to Stare
Palm Sunday sermon by Pastor Andrea SmithAs we are in our own journeys of Holy Week, may we ask ourselves the question, “Do we live in such a way that others would stop and stare?” (In a good way, by the way!) Do we love so radically that others, after watching, are struck by the ways that we love?Do we give so selflessly that others, after noticing how we give, find themselves wanting to be more selfless?Do we strive to seek justice for all, so that others, after hearing our callin...

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 - 449 - Demons -- What is keeping you from living life to its fullest?
So often we think of “demons (or the devil)” as little red figures that walk around with pitchforks, horns, and spandex with the intention of derailing us. However, demons are also the negative things in our lives that suck the life out of us. So . . . what sucks the life out of you?And no, the initial answer isn’t to go to a particular person that might be getting on your nerves right now! Seriously, think about it for a minute . . . and be willing to identify it.Negativity?&n...

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 - 447 - The Twists and Turns of Temptation
How do you deal with the deep temptations that face us all? Remember Satan/Lucifer means “light bearer.” And evil is never far away from shining light on things that will cause us to take the wrong twist or turn on our path.Hiding our temptations and pretending they do not exist is not the answer. We have a powerful example of Jesus being tempted and showing us how to withstand temptation. Each time he was confronted, he went within himself, relying on the power of God learned ...

When Jesus called the disciples, it was not that they’d been sitting around WAITING to be asked to go on the journey. Yet, when the ask came, they were willing to move. Are you willing to move today? Or do you have something that you are clinging to that keeps you stuck where you are?

Why is it that we say we are fine when we aren't? Maybe we don't want to get into the details. Or we don't want to burden others or be judged. Or . . . maybe we want to avoid the painful thoughts altogether! We live in a culture of "Quiet Quitting." We don't give our all anymore because we are spent, we are "done." In order to rekindle our passion and find our joy, we have to recognize that we aren't necessarily fine. In this message series, we are going to explore the reasons ...
Sun, 11 Sep 2022 - 422 - The Power Of... Listening
In this message we talk about the "Power of Listening!" We have 2 ears and 1 mouth . . . but do we really "get" what it means to listen? Remember, Jesus didn’t talk about being a better listener, he just did it. It was in the way he loved. He didn't come to be right, even though he ultimately had all the right answers. He came to reconcile. What does reconciliation look like for us today?

40% of our actions are our habits, we don't even know we are doing them.Habits have a powerful impact on our lives. What are your positive habits? What are habits you have that cause harm to you or others? Our habits are driven by what we crave and the reward we receive from the actions we take to fulfill that craving. For our bad habits, the difficult part is not just "kicking the habit" but instead figuring out what we TRULY crave that is causing the habit.Here is an ex...
