The Exhalation
Christmastime promises happiness—but for many, it delivers stress, disappointment, or a quiet sense of emptiness. In this message from Philippians 2:9–11, we look at why that happens and where lasting joy is actually found. Christmas isn’t about exalting ourselves; it’s about beholding the exalted Christ.This sermon explores how Jesus’ humility leads to His exaltation, why bowing down is the path to true joy, and how fixing our eyes on Jesus reshapes our hearts. If you’ve ever felt an “unhappy Christmas,” this message invites you to step out from the pressure to make life about you—and fi...

Encounter the Limitless Love of Christ
Pastor Austin Glenn of Kings Cross Church in Farmington, Utah joins the Westmark fam for Missions Month! Working through Luke 10:25-37, Pastor Austin encourages us to love like Jesus does.How did Christianity start off as a faith distinguished by the Jesus they served and the people they loved, to being a faith known for who they dislike and disagree with? If you ask your regular non-religious person off the street, "What are Christians like?" They will probably say, "they are racists, bigots, and judging." Obviously this is an unfair caricature but sadly perception is reality. What...

#2 - Om meditation og om at turde være i mørket - med Jesper Westmark

Der sad den skæggede mand i lotusstilling og gav en vild og dyb samtale om sorg...
