What if in the midst of hostility and opposition followers of Christ are called to pray for and seek the welfare of the place God has placed them? Our “State of the Church” for 2020 focuses on how we are living out the values of Worship, Community and Mission as the body of Christ at West Hills with the specific focus on how we can grow in seeking the welfare of the people that God has placed in our lives. This message looks back to the exiles in Babylon to connect how followers of Jesus today are God called to grow in their love for God and love for one another so that they can have a vital love for the city that God has placed them and open up their lives with the gospel.
