The Well - Abundant Life Church

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman dive deeper into Hebrews 9 and the shadows of the New Covenant. You cannot understand the New Covenant (New Testament) if you don’t know anything about the Old Covenant (Old Testament). The Old Testament is the picture book of the New Testament. The author of Hebrews said the Old Testament contained prophetic foresh...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman answer questions about resources for studying the Bible. The Bible is a self-interpreting book. It is meant to be studied by comparing Scripture with Scripture. You don’t have to be smart to know and understand the Bible, but it’s helpful to have resources. When you read a commentary or other resource for studying t...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss the New Covenant. A covenant is binding, unbreakable, and irrevocable. In God’s covenant, we are saved by grace through faith. We don’t have to do anything. We are declared righteous before God if we believe in Him and surrender our lives to Him. In Hebrews 8, the author clarifies the main point of his lette...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss how Jesus is our anchor, giving us the certainty of salvation. In Hebrews 6:9-20, the author reminds the Hebrews of the things that give them confidence that their salvation in Christ is permanent.

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil and Pastor Chad are joined by Rob and Olivia Poettgen for a special Father’s Day episode. When a religion distorts the genuine Gospel, it diminishes the power of Jesus's finished work. The evidence of being born again is that Jesus has changed us, and the mark of maturity is living in obedience to Jesus. A father’s role is to be the spiritual leader...

In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss how believers can grow in spiritual maturity. Many Christians are still in infancy spiritually, even after walking with and following Jesus for years. Often, believers think that because they know a lot, they’ve grown a lot. However, a disciple is someone who walks obediently to God, not somebody who’s simpl...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman talk about how the Word of God is living and powerful in believers’ lives. Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the Word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. His Word is true, trustworthy, and eternal. The enemy doesn’t want us to use God’s Word to fight temptation. He wants us to depend on others...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss the purpose of the Sabbath for believers. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. To stay in the race and finish strong, believers must get in the rhythm of having a weekly Sabbath. The purpose of the Sabbath is to intentionally rest and recharge your soul. We’re not commanded to keep a day as the Sabbath to earn...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Jeremy, and host Les Norman tackle the question, “What is God’s will for my life?” Have you ever wondered what God’s will is for your life?

Ever...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman talk about the elements of saving faith. In Hebrews 3, the author warns the ancient Hebrews not to doubt Jesus’ sufficiency. He reminds them of the Israelites who escaped captivity from Egypt. They had enough faith to get out of Egypt but not enough to enter the Promised Land! Although God constantly provided for th...

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman talk about God’s plan for man and how creation reflects His image. All creation, even those who don’t believe in God, demonstrate a need and desire for Christ. God desires that His image would be reflected in all His creation. He wants to be known, and He wants us to know Him. Once we know Him, He wants us to take H...

In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman discuss the difference between knowing about God and believing in Him. In Hebrews 2, the ancient Hebrews were drifting from their faith. Although they hadn’t rejected Christ and weren’t hostile to the gospel, they had neglected to respond to Christ’s gift of salvation. The nature of a drift is that it is subtle and slow, li...

In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil and Les Norman are joined by Clayton and Shari King from Clayton King Ministries. Clayton and Shari shared wins from the marriage conference they led at Abundant Life this past weekend and answered the question, “How do you know you are a Christian?   It’s easy to distort what it means to be a Christian. You can be wrong about many things, but salvation is...

In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman dive into what the Bible says about angels. How do angels reveal themselves to us? What do we know about spiritual warfare? Why is there a growing fascination with the supernatural? Angels can take on human form and a human body to carry out God’s will. They are God’s messengers and ministers. However, Satan and his army of...

In this episode of The Well, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and host Les Norman give an overview of the Book of Hebrews. Who wrote it? What is the historical setting? Who was it written to? How should we study it? The theme of Hebrews is the complete sufficiency and the absolute supremacy of Jesus Christ.
