Weekend Messages from Jacob's Well

Every day we tell ourselves a story about who we are, how life works, and what’s possible for us. When those stories are shaped by fear or insecurity, they can quietly hold us back. In this message, we confront our personal narratives with God’s truth and begin telling ourselves a better story.

What if your body isn’t a problem to fix, but a gift to receive? This message invites us to step back from shame and disappointment and rediscover God’s view of the body—as something good, intentional, and deeply connected to our spiritual lives.

On Christmas Eve, we remember that God did not come with power or spectacle, but with a heartbeat. In the quiet vulnerability of a tiny heart, Jesus chose less so we could receive true peace—with God, within ourselves, and with one another.

Christmas Communion invites us to step off the Christmas crazy train and slow down long enough to be fully present with Jesus. Rather than learning something new, this message creates space to remember—through quiet, scripture, ancient prayers, and communion—the God who chose less so we could have what matters most. In stillness and gratitude, we rediscover the simplicity, intimacy, and hope found...

Pastor Brian helps us take an honest look at the frenzy that December so easily becomes—and how often busyness steals the very peace, joy, and presence our souls are craving. What if the life we actually want is on the other side of slowing down? Come explore the invitation Jesus gives us to step off the “busyness crazy train” and rediscover a pace that leads to calm, clarity, and spiritual life t...

Christmas can feel like a crazy train—packed schedules, pressure to create perfect moments, overspending, and a pace that leaves us exhausted by January 2nd wondering, "What just happened?" What if the thing we’re actually longing for this season isn’t more… but less? If you’ve ever wished you could do this season differently, listen now, and get off the Christmas Crazy Train!

Discover why seeing Jesus as the embodiment of God’s wisdom can reshape how you make decisions, handle relationships, and navigate real life. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a smarter, steadier way to live, this message points to the One who shows us how—inviting us to learn His way, live His way, and experience the difference it makes.

In this message, we explore what Proverbs teaches about true wealth—how wisdom reshapes the way we see money, purpose, contentment, and the kind of life that really lasts. Come see how a wiser path can bring clarity, freedom, and a deeper sense of meaning.

Walking with the wise leads to wisdom. The people we walk with don’t just shape us—we shape them. In this message, we’ll explore how to intentionally walk with those around us in ways that lead to deeper wisdom, healthier relationships, and lives that reflect the heart of God.

In this message from Proverbs, we explore how wisdom in parenting begins with respect—formed through humility, discipline, and centering our lives on God.

Who are you listening to? In this message, we meet Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly in Proverbs and discover how the voices we follow shape our path toward life—or away from it.

What is wisdom? Is it just what you know, or how you live? From Socrates to Solomon to Jesus’ words that “wisdom is known by her children,” Proverbs trains us in real-world discernment for the choices that shape our relationships, work, and home. This message opens the door to discovering what true wisdom looks like—and where it begins.

What if right and wrong are nothing more than personal opinions—does the Christian story still hold up? Guest speaker Greg Koukl from Stand to Reason examines where moral relativism fails and shares a clear, loving strategy for responding to the accusation of intolerance.

The church can be both breathtakingly beautiful and painfully imperfect. It’s a place where grace and brokenness meet, where real people walk out their faith together in all its messiness and complexity. In this final message of the series, Pastor Brian explores what it means to become a “Churchless Christian,” why that path leaves us vulnerable, and how God’s vision for His people calls us into s...

You’ll be surprised at the Holy Spirit’s power—It's still moving today, just as in the book of Acts. This message unpacks the Great Commission and the legacy of a church devoted to Scripture, fellowship, prayer, and witness. You’ll be invited to pray for three people by name, tell your story, and join the mission God is already blessing in the Chippewa Valley.

What do we do with our anger, grief, and disappointment when the church itself becomes the source of hurt? In this message, we face the reality of “church hurt” head-on and wrestle with how Jesus invites us to respond differently. Instead of letting pain harden us, we’re called to channel anger into compassion, hate into love, and to rediscover the hope of Christ’s promise: the church is still His...

What does true love for our country really mean—holding onto pride, or humbly living out God’s call? This week we look at an ancient warning that challenges us to rethink patriotism and discover where our ultimate allegiance belongs.

Every family tells a story. Some chapters are marked by love and faith, others by pain and brokenness. From the book of Zephaniah, we see how one generation’s choices shape the next—and how cycles can be broken when someone chooses a different path. What legacy of faith will you leave behind?

Is the story of Jonah all about the big fish—or is it really about something more? In this message, we see a man clinging to anger while God patiently invites him to let go. And just like Jonah, we can hold onto control or resentment, instead of letting our compassionate Father rewrite our story through repentance.

Ever feel like you’re busy building a good life, yet still come up empty? Haggai shows us how even good things—family, success, comfort—can get out of order and leave us dry. In this message, Pastor Ryan invites us to realign our loves with God and discover the life and peace only He can bring.

Have you ever felt everything in life was right on track and how it should be—only to find out it’s definitely NOT? In week two of Fall Fast, Fall Forward, the book of Amos reveals how God’s plumb line exposes the flaws that we can’t see, calling us to repentance, truth, and restoration in Christ.

Rediscover the power of repentance—not as a heavy burden, but as a skill that leads to deep transformation. Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves, and too often those stories keep us stuck. But God, in His mercy, calls us to return—to rethink, to realign, and to experience healing, renewal, and joy.

Connections Pastor Whitney Berthiaume wraps up our Surprised by Joy series with a powerful and personal message titled “He Calls Me Redeemed.” Drawing from her own story and the words of Paul in Philippians, Whitney reminds us that even in our most broken moments, God is near—calling us by a new name, offering healing, and inviting us into joy. If you’ve ever questioned your worth or wondered if y...
