What are you carrying right now that is choking you. What is it that is robbing you of your joy?
Have you ever had a dispute that split your friendship and caused you to walk away?
Can you say that your spouse is your best friend? What are the qualities of a great friend?
We have to give up being lord of our own life, chasing our own comforts and self-gratifications. This path will just leave us spiritually empty and lost. But if we surrender, we will gain life. We will gain purpose and fulfillment.
We all want to choose a life that will lead to long term happiness, but when we dive into a relationship with God, it will guide everything else.
How are people swayed away from the good life God has prepared for us? Why do we exchange it for our own twisted desire?
In the midst of their worship they had assumed that God was just saying “love me, love me, say that you love me!” But God says there is one remedy to their foolishness. It isn’t a better worship service, a fog machine, an LED wall, or a wittier sermon. Instead, the immense roaring power of justice is what they need!
Maybe your mask is different, maybe you cover your insecurities with a big ego or maybe you have to pretend to be the smartest person in the room. If you are human, there are times when you will shield yourself from the reality of life by dressing up as someone other than who you are meant to be. That’s just a reality of the human condition.
We are in this together. We are called to care for each other and watch out for each other. We strive together, we suffer together, we succeed together, we win together.
We all want to be seen. We all want to be known. We all want to know that after someone sees the real us, they’ll choose to stay.
What does the Bible have to say about how to dress? What did those robes signify?
Someone once likened prayer to calling God on the phone. I had a bible college professor say once, “God’s phone number is Jeremiah 33:3.”
Jesus came to institute RADICAL CHANGE in our lives.
What is it that affects our interest in coming to the well?
We as people we are hiders. We have been hiding since Adam and Eve. And that is a big part of this story.
Often, God works through our own imperfect circumstances and the mistakes we make to bring about his goals.
Where do you find hope, fellowship, and community? It awaits you at the Well, the church of Jesus Christ.
The wilderness is death. Yet from wilderness, God brings life.
Has it been a hard year so far? We forget we are spiritual beings. We live a spiritual existence in these physical bodies.
The disciples didn’t understand the truth while they were living it out. But when it clicked in their hearts, they couldn’t hold it in.
What happens when you have been robbed— when your dream is killed?
Who do you think he is? Would you throw your coat down for him?
Have you ever noticed how sometimes life can feel busy but empty? You’re doing a lot. Working hard. Making plans. Trying to move forward. But somehow it still feels like something isn’t clicking. You’re active, but not fulfilled.
We love winning and we are so grateful for a God who wins! But, what happens when we lose? What happens when it’s not the outcome we desired?
You might think the Army of God is made up of people who have been “called” or chosen or ordained - you know, the professional Christians. But the truth is, when it comes to the Army of God, the second you become a follower of Christ is the second you are enlisted into the Army of God.
