Westside Church Spokane Podcast

In a culture where disrespect is celebrated and dishonor is normalized, this message calls the Church back to a biblical foundation: honor is not optional — it’s powerful.
Honor is more than politeness or outward respect. It originates in the heart. You can say the right words and still dishonor inwardly — and God sees the difference.
Throughout Scripture, we see a clear pattern: “Those who honor Me, I will honor.” (1 Samuel 2:30)
From Eli and his sons losing their promise because they dishonored God… to Jesus being unable to do mighty works in Nazareth because of familiarity and offense… to the centurion who received a miracle because he understood authority and showed honor…
The message is clear: honor unlocks access. Dishonor restricts it.
This teaching challenges the idea that honor must be earned by personality or performance. Instead, we honor positions God has established — up, down, and shoulder-to-shoulder. Honor flows in every direction. It is not about who someone is. It is about who we are before God.

“Living in the Green” isn’t about waiting for perfect clarity — it’s about moving when God has already spoken.

In this message, we see how God works through motion, not passivity. From Paul and Barnabas stepping out without full instructions, to Isaac sowing in the middle of famine, to Jesus teaching that we are the seed planted in the earth — Scripture shows us the same truth again and again: God blesses obedience in motion.

Many believers are not stuck because God is silent — they are stuck because they are waiting for details instead of acting on what they already know.

This teaching confronts the idea that we must have every answer before we move. Instead, it reveals that direction often comes after obedience, not before it. When we live inside the boundaries of what God has already said, we are “in the green” — free to act, grow, build, and produce.

You’ll be challenged to stop circling the same place and start putting your hand to something again — trusting that God will redirect you if needed, but will always move when you move in faith.

You were planted to produce. You were built to move. And God is waiting for you to step forward.

Many believers feel stuck, waiting on God for their “next step,” when He has already given clear instructions in His Word. In this message, Living in the Green, we’re reminded that obedience doesn’t always start with a new word—it starts with walking in what God has already said.

“Living in the green” means understanding that God’s Word has already given every believer a wide-open path to move, grow, and act. Jesus has commanded us to make disciples, share our faith, pray for the sick, and walk in His ways. These are not optional suggestions—they are green lights to go, without hesitation or fear.

Through the story of Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13, we see that God often sends us without giving every detail. They were simply told to go—and as they moved, God directed, protected, and opened doors for greater influence. The same is true today: movement brings clarity.

This message calls believers out of spiritual paralysis and into confident obedience. You don’t have to wait for perfect clarity to begin. God’s command already carries His power. As you move forward—being fruitful, multiplying, and taking dominion—you’ll discover that God meets you in motion.

If you’ve been asking, “God, what’s next?” this message may be the answer:
Live in the green. Keep moving. Trust God to lead you as you go.

In this message, we explore the biblical meaning and purpose of the anointing—not as a special experience for a few, but as a reality for every believer who is born of God. Scripture reveals that Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed One, and that His anointing doesn’t stop with Him—it flows into His body, the Church.

Using the life of Moses and other biblical examples, this teaching shows how the anointing turns ordinary moments into holy ground, equips believers for impossible assignments, and sustains us through adversity. The anointing does not remove challenges, but it empowers us to overcome them. From Pharaoh to the Red Sea, from resistance to victory, God proves again and again that what He calls, He also equips.

This message emphasizes that in the New Covenant, the anointing no longer comes upon select individuals for temporary tasks—it lives within every believer through Christ. No matter the opposition, pressure, or season, the anointing of God enables us to stand firm, move forward, and walk in victory.

If you’ve ever wondered how to face adversity with confidence, live with spiritual authority, and rely on God’s power instead of your own strength, this message is a reminder that you are anointed, called, and built to overcome.
