For The Preaching Of The Cross

Is To Them That Perish Foolishness;

But Unto Us Which Are Saved It Is

The Power Of God.  

             I Corinthians 1: 18

But God Commendeth His Love

Toward Us, In That , While We

Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died

For Us.

                   Romans 5: 8

For God So Loved The World

That He Gave His Only Begotten

Son That Whosoever Believeth On

Him Shall Not Perish But Have

Everlasting Life.

                    John 3:16

For All Have Sinned, And Come

Short Of The Glory Of God.

                     Romans 3: 23

For The Wages Of Sin Is Death;

But The Gift Of God Is Eternal

Life Through Jesus Christ Our

Lord.

               Romans 6: 23

That If Thou Shalt Confess With

Thy Mouth the Lord Jesus And

Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That

God Hath Raised Him From The

Dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved.

For With The Heart Man

Believeth Unto Righteousness

And With The Mouth Confession

Is Made Unto Salvation.

                   Romans 10: 9 - 10

For Whosoever Shall Call Upon

The Name Of The Lord Shall

Be Saved.

The above verses taken from the

Holy Scriptures is the Gospel

message that Westside Baptist

Church was founded upon.

Lonnie Smith started the church

in Hutchinson, Kansas to preach

the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that

men, women and children would

learn the truth from the Bible and

accept Jesus Christ as their own

personal Savior. His message and

testimony continues on some 50

years later. Read the stories

about the church and Pastor who

made a difference in people's lives.

The Gospel message Rev Lonnie

Smith preached was a simple one.

Men are born into sin and must be

saved from their sins. It would take

a Savior who was prophesied from

the very beginning and throughout

the Old Testament. Without this

Savior, mankind would be doomed

for eternity to a terrible and

horrible place called Hell. This

Savior was born and called Jesus

Christ...the Son of God. Jesus

suffered tremendous pain, torture

and agony dying on the cross so that

His blood could be shed to cover

and bring forgiveness for the sin

of mankind. He was the Supreme

Sacrifice unto God for every living

person to be born upon on this earth

in the past, present and future.

God has given mankind a choice to

accept His Son, Jesus Christ as

their Lord and Personal Savior and

be saved from their sins...but also

the choice to reject this Salvation

and be damned for eternity to a

place called Hell.

One God...One Savior...One

Salvation...Two Choices.

What choice have you made...?

Jesus Asks A Question.....

For What Is A Man Profited, If He

Shall Gain The Whole World, And

Lose His Own Soul? Or What Shall

A Man Give In Exchange For

His Soul?

              Matthew 16: 26

Here is the story and history of

Westside Baptist Church.
