Jacob's Well Church

When we address issues related to LGBT, our Posture is more important than our Position. Loving people when the situation is messy is one of the best indications of a healthy church.

This week we wade into the nuanced complexity of Sexuality in our culture.

Christians have a very high view of sex.

This week we look at the importance of understanding and living out our identity in Christ, in order to move away from our sinful, disordered desires. Experiencing God's meaning and destiny for our lives is impossible unless we embrace our new identity in Christ.

Understanding the power of saying no to disordered desires is powerful on the path to freedom.

Response to Week 1 of the Every Body series featuring Pastor Paul with Jordan and Grace.

In this message we will discuss the relationship between the spirit and the body. As Christians we believe that we are embodied spirits. The human soul is a symbiotic relationship between our minds, spirit, heart & body. We are not us without our bodies so we should love and honor our bodies. Our bodies are a gift from God so we should accept them as a trust and a means to fulfill our calling and vocation. Our bodies have been corrupted by sin or the disordered desires of the flesh. Giving in to our disordered desires creates slavery, while denying our disordered desires creates freedom.

There are many stages of Mom. Each one is unique with its own challenges, heartbreaks, joys and rewards. A good mom does not need to be a certain type of person, she needs to grow to be the right person for the right stage. Mom’s also need different kinds of support during different seasons. All this requires wisdom from Mom’s who are further on their journey. Care will need to be taken with those who's heart is broken on this topic. We will end the service by having older moms pray for younger women and by giving Moms a gift!

God has entrusted us with all off our time, talent and treasure. In this message we wrestle with what it looks like to steward these things, not just for our family and church but also in terms of legacy. To be a trusted steward means we must take seriously our responsibility and legacy.

The constant desire for more is a temptation that we all understand. How do we make sense of the greed and covetousness in our hearts?
