The Well Church of the Nazarene

Purpose is not something we create for ourselves—it's something we discover as we respond to God’s calling and live as sent people. God has uniquely gifted and positioned each of us to serve, showing the world the love and mission of Christ through our everyday lives.

Stewardship is not about ownership but trusting in covenant. A generous life gives evidence to a heart that is devoted to God. God provides not just for consumption, but for participation in His mission

Devoted believers share truth, life, and disciplines centered on Christ. As we move from simply attending to truly belonging to a covenant community, God shapes us together into a people who reflect His love and mission.

As prayer is our response to a covenantal relationship with God, Scripture is God’s voice that forms His people through teaching, correction, and training. As we consistently engage and respond to His Word, we become rooted, transformed to live out His covenant purposes as disciples of Jesus.  

Jesus teaches his disciples that prayer is not a vending machine or a checklist of requests, but rather a response to our covenantal relationship with God, rooted in identity, trust, and alignment with His will. The Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to live as God’s people, shaped by our dependence on his leading, provision, and grace. 

Guest speaker, Dr. David Mabry from Encompass Ministries, explores the biblical framework for building healthy, Christ-centered relationships by focusing on the New Testament's "one another" commands.

By breaking down our relational calling into five actionable steps, we can move beyond simply existing near people and into intentional engagement, bringing Jesus' heart into our daily interactions.

On the first Easter morning in Luke 24, the women arrive at the tomb expecting death--but in the Upside Down Kingdom, graves give birth to life! The stone is rolled away, He is not there, and the greatest flip in history is revealed--Jesus is ALIVE! What looked like the end was actually just the beginning, and God is still turning our stories right-side up today.

In this message, we look at Jesus' "cleansing" of the temple through a different lens. Rather than just an act of anger, we see Jesus clearing out the "business as usual" to make room for those on the margins. We often think the way of Christ is "upside down," but when we see that life comes through death--just like pruning a tree for new growth--we realize it's actually the only way to live right-side up. What needs to be cleared out of your life to make room for what God wants to do?

In the Upside Down Kingdom of Jesus, humility and confidence find common ground in the light of God’s mercy. Luke 18:9-14 will help us check our posture, revealing whether we are performing for OR relating to God.
