The Well Church | Messages

John 15:1-11 || Jesus is inviting us into close relationship with Him. To stay connected though to His covenant love and the joy found in it takes fighting for through His Word and prayer.

Acts 2:37-41 || After receiving God's saving grace through repentance and faith, Christ's 1-way love compels us to tell the world we belong to Him now! That proclamation of identification happens through a demonstration called baptism.

Christ's covenant love compels us to a singular initial response - repentance and faith. For it is by grace that we are saved.

What is the Bible and how can we know it is true? In part 2 we explore how the Covenant God has revealed Himself and the resulting implications on our joy, submission, and confidence.

The covenant-making God is full of covenant-keeping love.

God's sacrificial love for us compels sacrificial love from us. In order for God's mission of being known to go forward, sacrifice is required. We see this blueprint in the incarnation of Jesus, where God is known through an all-in, self-dedicating, high-costing, comfort-forsaking, others-embodying kind of love. This love that we are recipients of then calls us to be instruments of love for others...

Genesis 1:1, 2:7 || For our Family Worship Sunday we explored how God creates out of nothing, shapes it into something, and then breathes life into it.

Nehemiah 9:38-10:39 || Understanding God's Word leads to a commitment to change.

Nehemiah 9:1-37 || Understanding God's Word leads to confession - both of our sin and of God's goodness. We rightly see who we are in the light of seeing who God is.

Nehemiah 6:1-7:4 || Despite opposition that tries to distract, discredit, and disgrace us, God will triumphantly finish the restoring work that He began.

Nehemiah 5:1-19 || When our personal agendas drive us we end up oppressing others and endangering the work of the gospel. Thankfully, God steps in to eradicate injustice, defending the oppressed by lovingly confronting selfish hearts until they come into alignment with His glory.

Nehemiah 4:1-23 || We have an enemy who fiercely opposes God's gospel restoration in us and through us. Thankfully, Christ is our victor in this spiritual war. With His overcoming power He meets us in our attacks so that we might carry on the good work.

Nehemiah 2:9-3:32 || The people rally behind Nehemiah's God-given vision of restoration and wholeheartedly begin building.
