Jacob's Well Church

There are practices that historically have been so firmly established as part of the Christian faith that they begin to define what it means to be a Christian. For early believers, the idea of considering oneself a Christian who did not engage in these practices is like being rain that is not wet or a tree without wood. These practices are Baptism as a celebration of your salvation, Church as a pr...

In an age of complacency and polluted worship, there is a remnant that fears the LORD and stays faithful by keeping a book of remembrance.

Jesus' model of sacrificial leadership is just as important and needed today as it was during the time of Malachi.

In our waiting, it is important to remember that God is working in ways we do not know, and He will accomplish all that He has promised.

In the Book of Malachi, the new Idolatry was not the worshiping of false gods like Baal, but rather the Idolatry of half-hearted worship of the True God, Yahweh. This Idolatry created complacency and lukewarm devotion to God that was expressed in polluted worship, inadequate sacrifice, glorification of evil, and oppression of the vulnerable.

Leaders have influence over us. Whether we like it or not, we all have or will be considered a leader in some way, big or small.

God's holiness inspires us. Our holiness inspires others.

1 Peter 1:3-9 - Our unique way of life in this harsh, yet fleeting world affirms that we are chosen citizens of God’s Kingdom.

How did Simon become Peter? How did he become the most influential leader in the Christian Church? Jesus saw Peter. Jesus knew his name, and called him to become more. Jesus sees us, knows our name, and calls us to become more. Much like Peter's, our journey of "becoming" starts with being chosen, and– choosing to follow Jesus. There will be times we make great progress, times we ho...

We need great men to be husbands, fathers and leaders. A great man is good, strong and competent. He is defined by service and love. Be a great man.

The words i never knew you should stop us all in our tracks. Know and follow Jesus.

The Sermon on the Mount ends with a warning. Ignore Jesus' teaching at your own peril. Jesus repeats this basic warning using three separate illustrations. He also gives a powerful vision of what our lives can mean when we listen and follow his teachings.

As we come to the passage on The Golden Rule we pause to remember a man that truly lived it out in our day and age. --with special guest Pastor Brian Faught

Jesus’ teaching on judgement is a lot more nuanced than it first appears. 

Can we offer a critique without condemnation? Can we make a judgement without being judgmental? Humility is the key.

Special Guest Whitney Berthiaume joins us to talk about the cure for this anxious age we live in. 

The cure for Anxiety is Goodness?

This world offers so many things, but ultimately leaves us craving more. Where can we find the cure for materialism?
