The Well

“In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” That’s Romans eight, thirty-seven, and this is Something Good. Back in the Sixth Century, Pope Gregory the First came up with a list of seven deadly sins. Pride, anger, lust, laziness, gluttony, envy, and greed. For the next couple of weeks Ron will take you through each of them, as he shares his teaching series, “Undefeated: Overcoming the Deadly Sins that Drag You Down.”  

God is reclaiming ownership over things we have called our own. When we're no longer owners, but caretakers of our financial resources, it changes everything. In this message from Acts 4, Pastor Lutzer provides three diagnostic questions to know we've transferred ownership into God's hands. It's time we let God teach us to manage His resources.

If you’re holding a stale loaf of bread, and someone throws you a bag of gold, the likelihood is that you’ll drop the stale bread. Is there a parallel in the spiritual world? What are we holding that keeps us from receiving something better?

Matt. 6:19-21

Abram and Sarai knew the promise of God, but grew impatient with God’s timeline, not seeing how the promise could be fulfilled. They took matters into their own hands to further God’s agenda—and the results were disastrous. In this messy incident, we see the cost of sinful self-reliance and the abundant grace of God.

Love | A FRUITFUL FAITH

A former U.S. Marine Corps helicopter pilot, KJ Johnson is interviewed by Wayne Shepherd about his testimony and role as Director of Chicago's CS Lewis Institute. (click for more...)

Karl “KJ” Johnson, Lt.Col., USMC (Ret.), a former U.S. Marine Corps helicopter pilot with a 20-year military career, shares how God redirected his life toward intentional spiritual discipleship after recognizing a personal lack of being deeply discipled despite growing up in a Christian environment. Raised in Chicago with strong faith influences from his mother and grandmother, Johnson drifted spiritually during college and early military years, but recommitted his faith after marriage and fatherhood, developing a hunger for Scripture and Christian thought. His transformative experience came through the C.S. Lewis Institute, where structured, relational discipleship—focused on heart and mind—provided mentoring, community, and theological depth that reshaped his life and calling. Now the director of the C.S. Lewis Institute in Chicago, Johnson leads a yearlong, interdenominational discipleship program emphasizing intentional commitment, mentorship, and holistic spiritual formation, equipping believers from all walks of life to grow in Christlikeness and live out their faith in tangible ways.
