Join us as we continue in our series in the book of Amos. In this sermon, we tackle the issue of poverty. Scripture seems to have conflicting messages about poverty, money, wealth, riches, etc. There are some things that are clear (we should treat those in poverty with dignity, love, sacrifice, and respect), others... not so much (is it bad to be rich?). Seeing how all of these messages in Scripture work together is actually key to our understanding of how we as Christians should deal with this issue of poverty, and how God expects us to help bring the Kingdom to it. Join us as we tackle this passage together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we talk about God's heart for how we address corporate injustice as Christians. Often when we think about justice we think about all of the ill of the world and feel overwhelmed. This is actually a good thing. Lamentation, which we’ll discuss briefly, can be a really good way to respond to all of the ills of life. However, we can also do more than just lament. We can respond with righteousness in smaller areas, being faithful where God has called us (e.g., focus on an area). Though subtle, it is clear that Amos is both pleading to God for mercy, and also doing his part (for him preaching) in helping create justice for others. We each have a part to play too. And if our heart, like God’s, bends towards mercy, we can really bless and serve others and push back darkness in the world. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

We continue in our series in the book of Amos. Today we tackle the topic of "spiritual injustice." Church hurt that is crated in individuals, often because of poor spiritual leadership, is a serious issue that God finds appalling. Further, God desires for people to know God, the true God, and worship Him. Both of these issues, spiritual abuse and spiritual neglect are issues that stirs God's emotions, and it should stir ours as well. Join us as we see the type of justice God wants from His people.

We continue in our justice and mercy series, this week focusing on how God feels about humanity, specifically humanity that is rebelling against God! Often we see God as this cruel, ready-to-punish God, but the Scriptures present someone quite the opposite, even when people are in active rebellion against God. How might understanding God's heart right help us in our pursuit to do good in the world? Join us as we study this important passage together. Hosted on Ausha.

Join us this week as we continue our series on justice and mercy by looking at Amos 2. How we see our sin and our need for Jesus will directly shape how we pursue justice and mercy in the world around us. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we kick off our series walking through the book of Amos. Amos is a prophetic book that focuses on justice, righteousness, God's heart for the vulnerable, and our response to the brokenness of the world. As we enter into 2024 (another political election year!) we'll likely be reminded, often, of the brokenness of the world. What should our response be as Christians? How do we care,t he way God does? Where might we be guilty of the same types of injustices without us even realizing it? As we walk through this series, focusing on justice and mercy, we have an opportunity as a church to be distinct, and to truly be a blessing to a polarizing and chaotic world. Hosted on Ausha.

Join us as we talk continue talk about the last theme of Advent, Joy. We'll discuss what biblical joy is, and how we can pursue biblical joy here and now by beholding the God's promise for a future of eternal joy. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

This Sunday we continue with Advent, meditating on the future love that we will receive in Christ. One day, because of God's love for us, we will be wed to Him in marriage. This is a wild concept, and one that is hard to even believe. What does it mean that we'll be wed to God? How much does God really love us? How can we receive this love even now? To be loved by a Divine Being is something our souls long for. Join us as we think about the coming love of Christ. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength…’” Isaiah 30:15. Each year The Well purposefully sets aside one Sunday a year to reset. We desire to stop, slow down, and personally remember the works of the Lord over the past year. We intentionally look forward and anticipate how He will move in the year to come. Why is this rhythm important? How do we thoughtfully engage with the Lord to reset?
