Wellspring Covenant Church

When youʻre waiting in an unresolved, difficult situation (big or small, local or global) and the outcome is unclear, what are you to do? This week in Esther chapter 5, we explore two paths, two imaginations, and the futures they prepare— because a different ending may still be possible!

As we continue in the Book of Esther, we see courage at work in Esther as she is called to open the door to stepping up....when God calls us to be brave for a purpose. (Esther 4)

What are we to do when injustice is built right into the system we’re part of? In Esther 3, a Mordecai’s act of refusal collides with the machinery of power, raising a deeper question: how do we live faithfully in a world like this? Join us as we explore three small but courageous ways of being—and the hope we find in Jesus, who wasn’t promised a life of ease, but was faithful to his core identity and is with us still.

Join us as Pastor Kristi Ivanoff from First Covenant Anchorage continues in our series from the book of Esther.

There are seasons and situations in life when our accomplishments, gifts and significant moments go unrecognized. This experience of being anonymous feels uncomfortable and often hurtful. In the narrative in the book of Esther, today we look at Mordecai an example of courage when faithfulness goes unacknowledged.

In the face of power that has become harmful, how do we decide to respond? Join us as we begin our Easter sermon series in the Book of Esther. Together, we will grow courageous in opening the door to making moral decisions that reflect God's truth and love. (Esther 1, 2:1-18)

What if belonging is bigger than we imagined? In 1 Corinthians 12, guest preacher Melody Johnson from our Pacific Southwest Conference invites us to open the door to a deeper vision of the Church.

Easter is the door God opens— and it’s not where you expected it. What if the change you’ve been waiting for has already begun… in you and in the world? 

On Palm Sunday, two processions enter Jerusalem, but only one reveals the way to lasting peace. In Luke’s surprising version of the story, there’s a missing word, a weeping king, and a deeper path that invites us to discover why the door up opens downward. (Luke 19:28-40)

In this sermon on Philippians 4:4-9, we explore Paul’s words not as individual advice but as a vision for the church as a community. We reflect on the movement of rejoicing, praying, thinking, and practicing, and how these are not separate commands but a living rhythm that shapes how the church lives together. This message invites us to see God’s design for the church — not as a call to do more or do better, but as a call to realign with what God has already established, and to let that reality take shape in our shared life.

Was it worth it? Paul once believed he had built the perfect life. Then he encountered Christ—and everything changed. This message from Philippians 3 explores what actually makes a life worth pursuing. (Philippians 3:10-12)
