Join us as we continue our series in Revelation. Today we zoom into Jesus' personal letters to the churches, looking at the first two churches, Ephesus and Smyrna. These are two churches heading in opposite directions. Externally, the one that seems to be thriving is internally dying, and the one that is externally dying is internally thriving. What does this tell us about our own spirituality and our own church, The Well? How might we apply this ancient truth to our lives and churches? Join us as we worship through this Text together.

Join us as we begin our series in Revelation, this week looking at John's first vision. Why does Revelation begin not with what the book is, why it is important, etc., but with a picture of Jesus? Might this be a hint and a clue for how to read the entire book? After introducing the book John begins his revelation with Jesus, because, spoiler alert, this entire book is really about Jesus! Join us as we worship Jesus together.

Join us as we conclude our Hosea sermon series, this week focusing on the unrelenting love of God. No matter how far we've strayed, or how many times we've fallen, the love of God is standing right there, ready to pick us up, ready to receive us again. It is hard to imagine a God who loves this relentlessly, but God does whatever it takes to help us to see this. This week, we see God taking almost risky measures just to prove His love. If we can receive even but a fraction of this, it'll change our lives forever. Join us as we conclude this hard, but beautiful book together.

In Hosea 6:1-6, Israel's words of "return" to God sound right, but mask a repentance that is shallow rather than truly surrendered. God exposes this and says what He actually desires isn't religion or legalism, but steadfast, faithful love and intimate knowledge of Him. That love is only possible because Jesus Himself lived it perfectly and offers it to us, inviting us out of religious performance and into a real relationship with Him.

Join us as we continue this fascinating book of Hosea looking this week at the tough and tender love of God. As Gomer goes into prostitution, leaving her husband, God draws the parallel and analogy that Israel has done the same with God. God, painting Himself as a Husband (which is fascinating in and of itself!) begins to show what he is going to do as a result of this. After showing what Israel's sin is doing to her, God does a ridiculous, overwhelming reversal. When God should punish, instead He pursues. And if we see that this story isn't just true for Hosea's original audience, but for us as well, it will forever change our perspective of God, and the way we live out our faith in Him. To receive love like this is almost too much for the soul. Join us as we study this together.

Join us as we begin our series in the book of Hosea, dwelling on the love of God. Hosea, on the surface, is a really difficult book. However, underneath the difficulty of the Text are deep treasures of God's love for his people, even when they don't really love or pursue Him. This week we focus on the loyalty of God despite Israel's (and our!) rebellion. This love, if we receive it, brings deep, deep life. Join us as we learn how to receive the loyalty of God forever.

God designed us not just to feel happy at times, but to be joyful as a way of life. In a world of painful and brokenness Nehemiah chapter 8 not only encourages us to find our strength in the Lord, but shows us how to posture ourselves to live in his joy. If Jesus was anointed with the oil of joy, then we as His followers are invited to be filled by it and known for it!

When someone we love is grieving, our instinct is often to find the right words, offer solutions, or try to make the pain go away. But what if one of the most powerful ways we can love others is simply by being present? In this episode, Mary and Tiffany Stein discuss practical ways to walk with the grieving, avoid common mistakes, and faithfully reflect the comfort and compassion of Christ. Together they explore what it means to weep with those who weep and offer others the same comfort we ourselves have received from Christ.

Pastor Jady’s message centers on the truth that through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, believers are saved by grace alone and adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters. Drawing from Galatians 4, our standing with God is based entirely on Christ's finished work, not our performance, and that we are heirs of God's promises. And it is because of that we don’t live under pressure to perform for God, but can rest in the Father's love and acceptance as walk through life WITH Him.
