The Well Church of the Nazarene

This is the last week in our "Go" series, where we've been studying the Early Church and the Great Commission, emphasizing an old truth: Church is not a building or a time, but a people pursuing the mission of God. We were created to share life together; we need each other. And in light of this week's events, it is important to note that God's mission includes racial reconciliation. We are called...

We're picking up where we left off in the story of the Early Church, continuing our ongoing discussion about the role of Christ-followers in the Great Commission. This week the focus is on Philippians 4:4-13, and what contentment may have looked like in Paul's day, as well as today. The path to being content is not always an easy one to follow--especially in these days of social media influence. I...

In this Bible Study series, we're taking an in-depth look at the Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-18, and discussing the tools we can use to accomplish God's mission to invite, include, and train others while facing the battle within ourselves. Today's focus is on the Belt of Truth and its role in protecting us from the lies that might keep us from our mission.

Backup plans are the reality of life. Unforeseen circumstances affect our lives more so than our planning. How do we pursue God's mission when things go contrary to our plans? Contentment is rare in our world. But in his letter to the Philippians, the apostle Paul urges the Church to seek contentment that's not based on circumstances, but rather a focus on better things. Contentment does not mean...

Pastor Paul chats with Lauren Woolum, a graduate of Marysville High School and Kent State University. In her college years, Lauren experienced a transition in her faith, from viewing salvation as a get-out-of-hell free card, to learning what it really means to be a follower of Jesus and pursue his mission. She teaches part-time at Kent State, dabbles in woodworking, and attends and works at a coll...

Our scripture this week is from one of Paul's letters to the church of Ephesus, where he continues to guide and disciple them, encouraging them to keep going with The Great Commission. There are many ways you can engage in conversation around this passage, and we encourage you to take our discussion example and intentionally examine scripture and share your observations with others. Pastors Mara,...

In this Bible Study series, we're taking an in-depth look at the Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-18. The weapons Paul talks about in this passage are tools we can use to accomplish God's mission to invite, include, and train others, and we'll be discussing these in depth over the next several weeks. This week, the focus is Ephesians 6:12, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood..." The "...

"Go" - Week 3: Finding our mission in His Power. Church is not a time, but a people pursuing the mission of God. We are called to invite, include, and train others. Our mission is people. If we view others as the enemy, we're living contrary to His mission. Therefore, we need to choose the right weapons for battle--the offensive and defensive tools we need to fight darkness and accomplish this mis...

Pastor Paul and Jim Carsey talk about the days before and after World War II; the memory of his loving wife, Evelyn; and a history of God's unfailing provision over his life at home, in his 32 years of work for General Motors, and in his service to the church.

Josh, Paul and Mara discuss Acts 2:1-12 and the days leading up to Pentecost, when the disciples were in a waiting period between the resurrection and Christ's ascension. There are many unseen/unnamed people (men and women) who are significant in this story, which brings home the point that the Gospel is for everyone. But how do you explain the personhood, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit? H...

A journey through The Lord's Prayer - Week Six. This is our last week studying The Lord's Prayer, bringing our focus to its closing: "For Yours is the Kingdom..."

"Go" - Week 2: Finding our mission in His Spirit. The routines of our lives have shifted because of COVID-19, which allows us the opportunity to reevaluate what is important--in our personal lives and in our church. One thing we've experienced through this pandemic is that Church is not a building or a time, but a people pursuing the mission of God. We love our gatherings, and long for the day whe...
