Church Matters
Sep 28, 2025 | Matt McAlvey
Celebrating 10 Years Together
In this sermon celebrating Parkside Westside’s tenth anniversary, the pastor reflects on God’s surprising provision in the church’s beginnings—from a conversation in a Lakewood bar to the faithful commitment of a small core group—and traces His continued faithfulness over the past decade. He reminds the congregation of Jesus’s words in Matthew 5, calling them “the light of the world,” and urges them to shine through good deeds, love for their neighbors, and bold witness to Christ in a dark world. The sermon closes with the charge that because Jesus is the true light who overcame darkness through His death and resurrection, His people are now sent to reflect that light in Lakewood and beyond.
