Invitations and short talks delivered by the men at the West Side congregation.
Invitation: Walk in Love
In Ephesians 5:1-4, Paul contrasts a walk in love with certain sins. Just as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us, we should have a selfless love for others.
Invitation: Repentance and Sin
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
A short 10 minute talk where the following point is made. Sin constitutes a turning away from God. Repentance is a turn back to God. No sin can be forgiven unless repentance is present.
Sermon: The Work of Evangelism
Speaker: David Hightower
This short invitation lesson is David’s first effort. David is a fine young Christian, and his lesson on the importance of Evangelism as a work of every Christian is worth a listen and viewing!
Invitation: Judge the Living and the Dead
Invitation delivered by: Tommy Davis
(2 Timothy 4). Paul was ready for the day when Jesus would return to judge the living and the dead. Will you be ready?
Invitation: The wicked will fall but the righteous will stand
Invitation by Stan Cox
Proverbs 11:3-6 shows that the wicked will fall because of their wickedness, while the righteous will stand. This is not always seen in the temporal world, but we know that God will settle all accounts at judgment.
Invitation: You have answered me
Invitation by Stan Cox
Taken from Psalm 22, the Messianic prophecy includes applications to us. Though we may sometimes feel forsaken, God is never far from us. (cf. vs. 21) “Save me from the lion’s mouth… You have answered me.”
Invitation: The Saving Gospel
Speaker: Stan Cox
In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the apostle notes the fundamental truths which make up the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. He assures the Corinthians that salvation is theirs, “if you hold fast that word…”
Are You a Friend to Jesus?
Invitation by: Josh Jackson
The text of John 15 is discussed to indicate the necessity of expressing our love for Jesus, by being obedient to Him.
Paul’s View of Death – Invitation
Invitation by Stan Cox
The Apostle Paul expresses a mature and spiritual perspective toward’s death in 2 Corinthians 5:1-8. One we would do well to emulate.
Invitation: The Exalted Christ
Invitation by Stan Cox
Scriptures such as 1 Peter 3:22, Philippians 2:5-10, Acts 2:32-33 and Hebrews 1:1-3 all teach that God has exalted Jesus to His right hand. He is both Savior and Lord!
Invitation: Rich and Wicked
Invitation by Stan Cox
In James 5, we have a description of rich, wicked people who were oppressing Christians. Whether the wicked rich, or any other, if we live for God we will overcome such persecution, and live eternally in joy!
Invitation: How to See Good Days
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
1 Peter 3:10 Peter explains how to live a good life here, and receive God’s approval for eternity. Refrain from evil, and do good!
Invitation: For Not All Have Faith
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
Many today believe that in order to be a person of faith, you have to leave reason behind. In contrast, Paul in 2 Thessalonians 3:1-ff states that the unreasonable (and wicked) ones are those who do NOT have faith!
Invitation: Fleshly Lusts War Against the Soul
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 1 Peter 2:11, Peter states that fleshly lusts war against the soul. Sin is destructive to our souls, and our standing with God.

Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
The character qualifications for elders that Paul revealed to Titus in Titus 1 are qualities we should seek to have in ourselves as Christians.
