Thank you for joining us at Horizon West Church! Today we start a new series of messages on who Jesus is, based on seven scriptures from the gospel of John. In this message, we look at John 8:12-20 when Jesus called himself the "I Am." Not only does this statement identify Jesus as one with God, it shows us our source of hope today. Jesus was not merely a historical figure; He is with us now, loves us just as we are today, and eagerly invites us to engage more deeply with Him.

If you prayed to make Jesus your Lord today, we want to rejoice with you! If you would want someone to pray with you, we are eager to do so! If you would like more information about our church, we're want to share. Please text the word "NEXT" to 407-77 so we can engage with you.

I Am | Jesus Is... | Pastor Chris Ogden | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! We are continuing the story of Joseph, and the internal struggles Joseph experienced when he met with his brothers who had sold him into slavery. The "soap opera" of Joseph's life included frequent deceptions and half-truths, paralleling stories from the lives of his father and grandfather. God is at work, even with these questionable actions of Joseph and his brothers. Shiloh explains for us in this story three important truths: God's faithfulness is not contingent on our faithfulness. Life's trials are not an infringement upon God's call on our lives. Our blessings come from (a lot of things but mostly from) how clearly we see.

Three Things to Remember | It's Not Fair | Shiloh Karshima | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! We are wrapping up our series on the story of Joseph, looking at the passage where Joseph reflects on his life and how God was always faithful and present in good and bad times. Joseph learned the truth that God's way is best, and we can learn the same from Joseph's experience. We can say these words with confidence: We don't know when, where, or how, but God is going to make a way where there seems to be no way.

Our Story and God's Story | It's Not Fair | Pastor David Loveless | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! In today's Bible passage, Moses is tending his father-in-law's sheep in the desert after running away in fear from Egypt. While in the desert, God grabs Moses' attention in a bush that was burning but not burning up. In the resulting conversation with Moses, God tells Moses he will lead Abraham's descendants from slavery in Egypt into a land that God promised. A key verse in this story is Exodus 33:15, where Moses pleads with God, "If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here."

Horizon West Church is approaching a similar challenge regarding a plan to build a permanent building on the property we bought last year. We, like Moses, need to commit ourselves to following God's leadership and listening for what God wants us to do. As the poet wrote in Psalm 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."

Of much greater importance is how each of us respond when God tries to get our attention to call us to serve God. We, like Moses, need to recognize God's presence, trust in God's promise, and follow God's plan.

Going for Gold | Pastor Chris Ogden | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! We are starting a new series focused on marriages, and this first message uses Genesis 1 to explore God's plan for humanity, and more specifically, God's plan for marriage. As Nikki Ogden puts it, "Maybe marriage is less about finding the person who makes you perfectly happy and more about finding the one whom God uses to help you become holy; to look more like Jesus." Pastor Chris explains, "The starting point in understanding marriage is to understand the love story between God and His beloved, humanity."

God's Plan for Marriage | The Perfect Ten(sion) | Pastor Chris Ogden | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! In this continuation of our series focused on marriages, Pastor Chris digs deeper into God's ideals for marriage as given in the first chapters of Genesis. One of these ideals is that we grow through close relationships. These relationships can be found in marriages and families, and Psalm 68:6 rejoices that "God sets the lonely in families" so that all of God's children can benefit from the blessings of close relationships. Another of these ideas for marriages is an equal partnership between the spouses, described in these passages from Genesis, a partnership benefitting from the differences between the individuals in a marriage. We want to build our marriage relationships on God's wisdom and catch ourselves before we confuse cultural expectations about relationships with the dreams for marriage that God shares with us.

Philippians 4:8 instructs us to develop and sustain a positive attitude: "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

Marriage Challenges | The Perfect Ten(sion) | Pastor Chris Ogden | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! In this continuation of our series focused on marriages, Pastor Chris examines how God's plan for marriages, including physicality, was established in the Garden of Eden as Adam and Eve were unclothed and "not ashamed." While sin has distorted physical relationships, God's plan for marriage still creates and sustains couples who follow it. Pastor Chris describes four cornerstones of this plan, which are exclusivity, mutuality, intimacy of emotion, spirit, and body, and the covenant commitments between couples.

Marriage Intimacy | The Perfect Ten(sion) | Pastor Chris Ogden | Horizon West Church

Thank you for joining us for this week's message! As we continue our series focused on marriages, Pastor Chris gives us seven important questions that people in relationships are thinking, if not verbalizing. Some of these questions come up when a couple start dating, some as the marriage matures, but none of these questions go away, because both people in the relationship are continually growing and changing. We sometimes think of the wedding as the goal to be achieved, but we're wiser to see the wedding as the starting line of a lifelong relationship.
