Jacob's Well Church

A personal journey into the very real “inner life” experiences of fear and anxiety, and how prayer and God’s word can bring hope.

This world is warring against our well being. It creates an environment in which, the normal state of the average person is fear, anxiety, sadness, anger and isolation. If we are not proactive and intentional about our well being we will slip into patterns that will steal our life and put us in “just get by mode.” The good news is that Jesus has come to give us a full and abundant life even in the...

In this message we will celebrate that Jesus used His power and influence to bring redemption and the forgiveness of sins. He then empowers us to offer and declare forgiveness to those who put their faith in Him. We will celebrate this forgiveness and call people to fully embrace this forgiveness through a profession of our faith and the declaration of the forgiveness we have in Christ Jesus.

Earthly power, in and of itself, falls short of the reality of God's power. This power was fully realized in the power of Jesus as He fully surrendered to death on a cross. Jesus has a different definition of power, one that challenges our illusions about power; what it means, who it is for, and what its results are meant to be in the world.

Power is not evil, in fact God empowers us to serve the common good. Of course, power can be used for great evil and selfishness. We see that example in the High Priest Caiaphas and the religious leaders of Jesus' day. In this message we will call people to become aware of the power they have and ask them to consider how they use it. Do they use it to dominate and control? Do they keep it hid...

This weekend we celebrate the deliverance that God brings in our lives and to all of us as the people of God.

This message will be a warning to all who would live small and seek to acquire things for themselves as an owner. Not only will power, wealth and status leave us unsatisfied, but we all must remember that at the end of our life we will give an account for all that we have done and said. We should seek to live a life as a steward who will give an account, and we should turn to God for mercy and for...

We can learn from Esther's life how to move from an owner of our life, to God being owner of our life. Through her story we can be inspired to lay down our lives for others and see hope in our journey with God.

In the face of hatred and the reckless evil in this world, what can the people of God do? Mordecai was a man who had a radical trust in God and the sovereignty of his plan for his people and for the whole world. He saw his life not as an end unto itself, but rather as a means to advancing God’s plan. Mordecai's willingness to be used by God is a powerful example of stewardship. Once he achiev...

In this message, we show how God set up events for things to work out in just the right way, at just the right time. We see that all of this was part of the bigger picture of Christ's redemption.

In this message, we introduce the King who seems to be the most powerful man in the world but is weak. We see that he was actually a person crippled by insecurity, anxiety and was easily manipulated. We see that his central problem was that he considered his position, power, possessions, and privilege entitled him to be served. We are called back to stewardship in which life is viewed as a trust a...

In this message, we introduce the book of Esther with special attention to the One who is not mentioned; which is God. We show that the God who is the one who is behind the story of Esther is the one who is behind the greater story of human redemption through Jesus Christ.

Evangelism always means proclamation, and it always involves communicating the message of the gospel using language the lost can understand. Evangelism is proclamation of the gospel. In order to be biblical evangelism, the full message of the holiness and love of God, the sinfulness of every human being, the atoning sacrifice and victorious resurrection of Jesus for our sins, and the necessity of...

Calling is the gracious act of God by which he directs disciples to make disciples in a certain way, at a certain time, among a certain people, in a certain location, or through a certain vocation. Calls to service may be fluid, operating at varying levels and open to varying assignments from God. What must be constant in a disciple’s life, however, is faithfulness to God’s call, no matter the cos...

The call to salvation includes a call to vision and mission. Every person who responds to God’s call as a disciple of Jesus receives Christ’s command to make disciples of Jesus. Disciple-making is the God-given, Christ-enabled, Spirit-empowered duty of every disciple, whatever his or her station, location, or vocation. In this way, every disciple plays a significant part in the eternal purpose of...
