The Well | Manhattan, KS

theWELL is four years old! Pastor Josh takes some time to celebrate the anniversary of our church plant as well as explain the whys of our vision behind the whats of our ministry.

As we celebrate Father's Day, Josh Siders takes time to ask the questions, What does it mean to be a man? And how do you know when you are one? Are there rituals or learning experiences that help produce men? And we find out how the gospel informs on each of these answers

In this final message of the series, Josh Siders explains the importance of storytelling as we point people towards Jesus. And we consider how the narrative of Nicodemus from John 3 illustrates how Jesus Himself used creative elements to bring His listeners towards grace and truth.

Can serving others be missional or will it be manipulative and have strings attached if we want our helps to point towards Jesus? How did Jesus model serving others for us?

Jesus not only describes what he has come to accomplish, but also how he intended to do it by inviting outcasts to sit around His table. By this, we see that the kingdom of God advances one meal at a time.

How does our hurried and distracted lifestyle impact our participation on God's mission of helping people find their way back to God? What can be done to focus more and invite people into a space where we hear about their hopes and fears? This week, Josh Siders shares the second practice of a missional life and how the habit of listening is missional in nature.

This week we begin a new message series called #BLESS: Five Practices for a Missional Life. Josh Siders shares about orienting our lives towards reaching people with the love of Jesus and how we must begin with prayer for those around us.

What if you're missing out on half of God? Most of us know about the God who is protective and passionate and does not tolerate sin. But when we are broken and worn out, we need to experience the God who is comforting and nurturing. Sarah Siders shares about the kind heart of God and how to experience this if we never have before.

What does it look like to feel disconnected in worship? What are we called to do after our intimate times in communion with God? Jake Reeves answers these questions and finishes sharing his testimony and how worship played in.

How do we communicate with God? Why is it important to understand what "worship" is and how to do it in order for us to build a relationship with Him? Jake Reeves answers these questions and more as we continue our "WITH" series.
