What Is This?
Hi everyone! It’s been a year since my last post, but in just a month I will be back at it again in a new place with a new focus. Welcome to Life on the West Side (formerly known as Avenue for Faith). Beginning in July I will be the new preaching minister for the West Side Church of Christ in Searcy, Arkansas. In each post I will link to a sermon and offer further resources such as a discussion guide, points to ponder, podcast of the sermon with commentary and interviews, and recommended resources to enhance and extend the discussion in hope of encouraging others ministers and inspiring faith formation for other disciples of Christ.
Who Is This For?
First, this is for committed disciples with a love for Jesus who call West Side their home. I will seek to inspire you to experience Christ throughout the week, to give you more opportunity to reflect on this week’s teaching, to give you the resources you need to use the lesson in leading your own class or agape group, and to encourage you in your own spiritual growth.
Second, this is for preachers, teachers, and church leaders gathering ideas to help in their own sermon prep, classroom instruction, and local ministries. I’ll tell you what I have found helpful, provide you with links to new as well as trusted resources, and network with you as we join together to meet the needs of our communities and raise up disciples for Jesus Christ.
What Is Changing? Will I Lose Anything?
Even though I am changing the name of the substack newsletter, podcast, and website, you won’t lose access to anything from Avenue for Faith. Everything is still here! Just make sure you know the podcast will soon be changing from “Avenue for Faith” to “Life on the West Side,” but you can still find it on your favorite platform. And you can always access this substack, all my sermons, and the podcast at nathanguy.com.
