In just four chapters, the book of Ruth has walked us through what it looks like to be a man or woman of God, how friendships should look, what it looks like to pursue a spouse and lastly, what marriage should look like. Now, let’s be boring real quick and look at some stats. Looking at first marriages, 45-50% end…
As I sit here writing this message, I am in such awe that in just 3 short days I will stand at an altar before my friends and family and say “I do” to the most amazing man I’ve ever known who’s love I absolutely do not deserve. It’s no ordinary love, and it’s far from perfect, but it’s a…
If there was ever an award for the “Good Church Girl” (or GCG as I like to call it), I would probably win it. I was dedicated in a Bible church as an infant. My Dad was an elder. My Mom taught Sunday school (so naturally I always had perfect attendance).I had every badge possible and all my jewels were…
Manliness is one of my favorite topics. It’s also an extremely confusing one. If you listen to the world, there are a hundred different voices telling you what a man is. God has a voice as well. This week Boaz took to the stage as we entered chapter two of Ruth. Boaz is a true man. He is a man…
A Cycle of Sacrifice. In the aftermath of my wedding, my wife and I were so relieved and happy that everything had gone off without a hitch. In the days leading up to the wedding, we frantically set up and made sure everything was perfect. We had strung lights over every inch of the reception area, set up dozens of…
GENEROUS GOD, GENEROUS CHURCH At The Well we have been going through the book of Acts, and have looked at how the Holy Spirit empowers the church for Jesus’ mission. We see immediately that the early church in Jerusalem was marked by radical generosity.
Where is your life going? What path are you on? How will you get there? What legacy are you building with your life? If these questions freak you out or make you go “uhhhh.”, then keep reading this post.
After watching Jesus die for the sins of the world and then miraculously rise from the dead, the disciples were given a mission from Jesus: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts…
At The Well, we are doing a two-part series on the letter of Jude. In this short book, Jude reminds Christians of the seriousness of sin, the mercy of God, and the need to contend for the faith by believing and preaching the gospel. A few verses in, Jude hammers on the ungodliness of sexual immorality, and how it should…
We are continuing through Paul’s letter to the Philippians at The Well, and have arrived on the topic of anxiety this Tuesday. In chapter four, Paul says this to the Philippian church, “do not be anxious about anything” (v.6). WHAT IS ANXIETY? Anxiety is when we freak out and stress out over our lives. Many times it sinks in over…
