Invitations and short talks delivered by the men at the West Side congregation.
Invitation: A Better Place
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 2 Timothy 4:6-8, the apostle Paul refers to a better place which would follow his life on earth. His hope is the same hope enjoyed by all Christians!
Invitation: The Wonderful Hope of the Christian

In 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 and 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 the apostle eloquently describes the hope of the Christian in the resurrection.
Invitation: Overcoming Temptation
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 1 Corinthians 10:13 Paul notes that temptations are common to all men. We must resist temptation, and if we do we have the assurance that God will help us.
Invitation: God was not well pleased
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 1 Corinthians 10:1-5,11, the apostle Paul refers to the Israelites as an admonition to us, for God was “not well pleased” with them. From this, Paul makes three applications in verses 12-14. 1) Pride is a problem; 2) God is faithful; 3) Flee idolatry.
Invitation: Pure and Without Sin
Invitation delivered by: Josh Cox
1 John 3:1-9, the apostle points out the necessity of being pure and without sin as children of God.
Invitation: Both Savior and Lord
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In Colossians 1:13-20, Paul describes the preeminence of Jesus Christ. He is not only our Savior, He is our Lord.
Invitation: Eternal Torment
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells his disciples about the rich man and Lazarus, who when they died went to Hades. The rich man, when tortured in the flame, was not burned up. Likewise, hell fire and condemnation are eternal in nature.
Invitation: Nothing Except Jesus Christ
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 Paul states that he has nothing to offer except for Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. While the religious world offers so many other things, the only thing we have the right to offer is the gospel of our Lord!
Invitation: We are Debtors
Invitation delivered by: Josh Cox
In Romans 5:12 the apostle Paul affirms that death has spread to all men. The only way to escape death is through God’s gift to man (cf. Romans 6:23). As such, we are Debtors (Romans 8:12).
Invitation: The Mighty Word of God
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In Acts 19:20, “So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.” The preaching of the word brings opposition, but ultimately God gains the victory!
Invitation: The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In Matthew 27:32-54, Matthew narrates the crucifixion of Christ. This invitation is a reading of the narrative, with the invitation to take advantage of that sacrifice for our sins.
Invitation: Run to Obtain
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox ~
In 1 Corinthians 9:24 Paul uses the metaphor of a race to explain the fact that Christians should have a total commitment to obtaining the prize of eternity in Heaven.
Invitation: The Idea of “Ought”
Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox
In 1 Timothy 3:14-15, Paul uses the little word “ought” to establish that God will hold us accountable for our actions.
Invitation: May God Be With You Always
Invitation delivered by: Ben Schmidt
The Star Wars movies talk about “The Force.” The Bible reveals God to be the omnipotent and merciful creator and sustainer of all things. We are redeemed by His grace.
Invitation: God Keeps His Promises
Invitation delivered by: Josh Cox
Matthew 7:7-11 shows clearly that God keeps His promises to us.
