Matthew was a sinner. He was a tax collector. #Jesus turned Matthew’s mess into a great message. It is a message of #grace. Jesus offers the same message to us. - @davidchauncey

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

Matthew had a skill for writing and record keeping as a tax collector. #Jesus used Matthew’s pen to present His case. He took Matthew’s pen and turned it into the sword of the #gospel.

Jesus will also use any #skill or #talent you decide to give. - @davidchauncey

Who’s ready for #church tomorrow? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

This is Bob. When Bob was first asked to be a greeter, he said no. He just wanted to quietly attend church and stay under the radar.
3 years later, Bob says being a greeter is one of the most fulfilling things he’s ever done. Thank you for making everyone feel welcome each Sunday

What do we think when things are going well in life? We think that #God is #blessing us. What do we think when life gets tough? We think God has left us. That’s not what God teaches. God is the most relevant when we need him. He is #always with us. - @wbcpastorjohn

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

#God is on the move at Westside! It's a great thing to see people going public with their #faith from week to week. Give God #praise!

Did you know you are in the #Bible? “#Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.” - John 20:29 @davidchauncey

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

How do we deal with #trouble? #Jesus says, ”Let not your #heart be troubled. You believe in #God, believe also in me.” - John 14:1 @davidchauncey

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

So what do we do when we find ourselves caught up in self-pity?
1. Get into God’s #word.
2. Get outside of yourself and serve #others
3. Get together with God’s #people
4. Remember no one is #perfect, especially not yourself.

Sometimes we demand too much #detail of #God before we move forward and take a step of #faith. Sometimes we need to just go for it! - @davidchauncey

Thomas was not just #doubting Thomas. He was #loyal, #loving, and fully #committed Thomas. - John 11:16 - @davidchauncey

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

#Pessimism, excessive #criticism, #withdrawal, self-#pity; these negative tendencies don’t help our #heart. - @davidchauncey

[Westside Baptist @WBCgainesville]

One cup of #water can become a city block’s worth of #fog. Some of us take a small cup of #problem and let it become a huge fog that causes all sorts of #wrecks in our lives. -@davidchauncey
