The Well Ministry

In the story of Jacob and Esau, we see for the first time a difference in the physical and spiritual designation of a firstborn. In this week’s message, Pastor Nathan shows us how God sees differently than man.

How well do we serve when there is no perceived benefit to us? In today’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks Genesis 24 and the example set by Abraham’s servant who goes to find a wife for Isaac.

When we are at our lowest we often wonder where God is. As Pastor Nathan unpacks Genesis 23 and the death of Sarah, he shows us how God is present and working even through loss.

Do we trust God with what we love the most? This week, Pastor Nathan unpacks Genesis 22 and explains how this story of Abraham and Isaac exemplifies how even in the tests and the trials we can stand on the promises of God.

Most Christians are familiar with what Jesus says about forgiveness in the New Testament, but what does forgiveness look like in the Old Testament? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan explains how the interaction between Abraham and Abimelek can help us understand the fullness of God’s forgiveness and set an example for what forgiveness should look like in our own lives.

Sometimes to see God’s faithfulness we have to first run out of options. Through the story of Abraham sending Hagar and Ishmael away, Pastor Nathan shows us how the hard road can be the road to God’s greater plan.  

Sometimes problems can take over our lives until they seep into everything and steal our joy. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan explains how through the birth of Issac God made a laughter and a joy that was specifically for Sarah. What joys has God planned for us?

In today’s sermon, Pastor Nathan reminds us God’s power is not determined by the number of people who revere him. As he unpacks the story of Abraham and Abimelek, we see how God used pagan people in un-believing places to bring himself glory and work everything together for the good of those who love him, just as he does today.

The Bible often urges us to flee from sin and flee from sexual immorality, so what happens when we set up camp near it instead? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and how Lot’s family, while rescued from the destruction, was influenced by their proximity to such a wicked city.

Hardened by the world and prayers yet-to-be-answered we can often be like Sarah, laughing at the prospect of the promise finally being fulfilled in her old age and developing an “I’ll believe it when I see it” attitude. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan dives into Genesis 18 and challenges us with an image of what faith-filled waiting can look like as we wait on our own prayers to be answered.

In 2 Corinthians it says that those in Christ are new creatures but what does that look like for the people of the Old Testament? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks Abram and Sarai’s new names and the symbol of their covenant with God.

Satan often convinces us to do things to cover our guilt or shame that actually bring about more of the same. This week’s sermon picks up in Genesis 16 after God told Abram that an heir would come from his own body but Sarai, ashamed and doubting whether that promise extended to her, took matters into her own hands.

Are you still making backup plans for something God has already promised you? In today’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks God’s covenant with Abram and how, even from the beginning, God is showing us that His promises aren’t predicated on us and our own abilities but on His goodness.

Have we become weary of doing good because we haven’t seen the results we anticipated? In this week’s message, Pastor Nathan teaches on the story of Abram rescuing Lot, and how we can be easily discouraged when we confuse what we reap with what is our reward.

Sometimes we need to go back. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks Genesis 13 where Abram and Lot have to decide where there are going to pitch their tents. It’s a helpful depiction of what those of us still fighting the good fight can do in the wake of the heartbreak of watching others walk away from the promise.

How is your faith in the famine? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan shows us how great moments of faith are often followed by famine, and challenges us with the question: Are we focused on what God said or what we can see?

Are we settling for mediocrity in our walk with Christ? In today’s sermon, Pastor Nathan dives into Abram’s call and encourages us to step out in our own calls today.

Everybody working together towards a common goal seems like something we should aspire to, but what if that goal is in defiance of a command of God? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Nathan unpacks the story of the Tower of Babel and how we often try to supplant God’s will with our own.

Even after moments of great faith, we see the humanity of Biblical heroes as they still make mistakes and fall into sin. In this week’s message, Pastor Nathan wraps up the story of Noah explaining how the covering of his sin and shame is an early representation of what Jesus’ blood does for us.

In today’s culture of instant gratification we’ve become pretty bad about waiting, but waiting is a common theme throughout the Bible. In today’s message, Pastor Nathan continues walking us through the story of Noah and gives us an opportunity to hear from God in the waiting.

We may think of the story of Noah as a story of destruction but in today’s message, Pastor Nathan explains how the story of Noah is really a story of salvation that can give us a deeper understanding of the salvation we are freely given through Jesus.

There is always more to know about God. In today’s message Pastor Nathan explains that though our spiritual walk might sometimes feel stale, God can speak fresh revelation even through verses we’ve read many times before. Fittingly, we then hear from Diane Williamson who brings us a word from the Lord in which He spoke a new thing through a familiar verse.

What does God’s forgiveness look like? In today’s message, Pastor Nathan dives into the story of Cain and Abel and explains how our own unforgiveness can prevent us from understanding the fullness of God’s.

Do we trust God with what he withholds from us? This week, Pastor Nathan unpacks the fall of man and encourages us to examine where our perception of God’s intentions has been distorted by the subtle lies of the enemy.

This week Pastor Nathan continues our series in Genesis explaining how God breathed life into Adam and how he continues to be all we need in and for life today.
