Join us as we dive into Luke 1:39–45, where Elizabeth asks, “Why has the mother of my Lord come to me?” This isn’t just about miracles—it’s about God showing up where we least expect Him. From unborn babies leaping in the womb to hearts filled with the Spirit, God approaches us in our fear, doubt, and waiting. In this message, we’ll see how recognizing His presence and responding in faith opens the door for God’s work in our lives. He’s already come near—will we see Him and respond?Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Mary’s question, “How will this be, since I’m a virgin?” reminds us that faith often begins with wonder, doubt, and questions. Even in the midst of silence, limitations, and uncertainty, God keeps His promises, supplies His power, and begins miracles before we can see them. Because God came once in impossible circumstances, our hope is alive today. Nothing is too big, too broken, or too far gone for Him.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we continue our Questioning Jesus series looking at an intriguing question asked by Jesus' own disciples. The disciples asked, "Why this waste..." as a woman pours out expensive oil over Jesus' head as she worships Him. Is worship and sacrifice ever a waste? Are we more like the disciples, or the woman? And how can we get to her state? Join us as we think about sacrifice, generosity, and more importantly, intimacy with Christ as we study this passage together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we unpack a conversation between Jesus and a Pharisee named Nicodemus about what it really means to be born again. We’ll dig into what it takes, what it actually looks like, and why Jesus’s words can be trusted, even in a world full of people claiming to know heaven. Being born again isn’t about trying harder, following more rules, or proving anything, but rather it’s about surrendering to the Spirit and letting God give you a brand new life.Hosted on Ausha.

Join us as we continue our Questioning Jesus series, this week looking at the mystery of healing. The leper is essentially asking Jesus not if He can heal, but does He love him enough to heal him. Jesus has compassion, and heals. So... what about us? Can God heal us? Most of us would answer yes! Does God want to heal us? How do we know? What if He doesn't, should that lead to disappointment... or something else? Join us as we wrestle with these thoughts together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
This week, we are looking at the question that Peter asks Jesus right after he is restored and recommissioned, "Lord, what about him?" Jesus gives Peter a calling, and Peter immediately begins to look at John, leading to comparison in his heart. If we are honest, we are like Peter. What is the antidote to comparison? It is contentment in Christ - fixing our gaze on him and focusing on the "who," allowing Him to define our "what." Join us this week as we talk through calling, comparison, and contentment in Christ.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we continue in our Questioning Jesus series, this week looking at a question from Jesus' cousin, John the Baptist. What happens when Jesus isn't who you expect? What do you do? John here is doubting his faith because Jesus isn't meeting his expectations, and, if we're honest, most of us have been in or are currently in that camp! What do we do when God doesn't meet our expectations? Join us as we study this question together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
As we continue our Questioning Jesus series we see a disciple ask Jesus a question about forgiveness. Who should we forgive? How should we forgive? How many times? Why do we struggle to forgive? Join us as we explore God's compassionate heart toward you and others.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
In Luke 5:27–32, Jesus turns a meal into a miracle. He calls Levi, a corrupt tax collector, to follow Him, and the table that once symbolized greed becomes a place of grace. This sermon explores how Jesus sees us, heals us, and sends us—transforming Pharisaical pride into humble participation in His feast of mercy.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
As we continue our Questioning Jesus series we see a question about fasting... a forgotten but important means of grace. What is fasting? Why weren't the disciples or Jesus doing it? Should we fast? If so, why? Just like the previous 3 weeks we also see assumption, again, the great ruiner of the soul! What would happen if an entire church fasted, and what if in that fast we got something even deeper than what we were fasting for? Join us as we tackle this complicated passage together!Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we continue our Questioning Jesus sermon series and explore a question posed to Jesus by a lawyer attempting to justify himself: "Who is my neighbor?" Through Jesus’ interaction with the lawyer and the story he shares about the Good Samaritan, we see both the barriers within the lawyer’s heart that are hindering him from true justification and the ways Jesus expands his—and our—understanding of Biblical justice.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
We continue our series "Questioning Jesus" with a question each of us tends to ask in our hearts when trouble arises, "Lord, don't you care?" Our minds will tell us yes, but our hearts will tell us no. How do we overcome this feeling of being forgotten? The story of Jesus calming the waters gives us a good clue. Join us as we study this passage together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we begin a new series looking at the questions that were asked to Jesus during His ministry on earth. Questions reveal a lot, mainly what we think about God, and what we really desire. We often, without even realizing it, ask the same questions as the people in the Biblical stories. Today we look at the question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Simple question, but the amount of misconceptions and beautiful promises this story carries is more than what originally meets the eye. Join us as we dive into this series together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
We say this at the end of every service, every Sunday. Do you know why? Who are we sent to and what do we do when we get there? Am I really qualified to be sent? God wants to us to be sending and to be a sent people so that all peoples would enjoy Him!Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we celebrate what God is doing in our church to conclude our series in 1 Corinthians! Paul tells the church to honor and submit to people who act like Stephanas. Each of us has the ability to be like Stephanas, and we have many of them in our church. Why are they so refreshing, how can we be this, what does this have to do with church planting, and how does this summarize Paul's message of unity throughout 1 Corinthians? There's a lot packed into this text! Join us as we finish this book and this series together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we are in our second to last week in 1 Corinthians, this week thinking about generosity. Paul comes off the heels of the resurrection and then starts talking about what most see as a bunch of travel plans. In reality, this is a practical application to the resurrection. What do we do while we're waiting for death to be fully destroyed? We build the Kingdom. And how we give to the Kingdom is a practical way to do this. What does it look like to live sacrificially? Join us as we begin to conclude this book.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we explore the hope and power of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:35–58. Paul lifts our eyes beyond the grave, showing us that death is not the end but the doorway to glory. Like a seed that must die to bear fruit, our mortal bodies will be transformed into something imperishable and glorious. In this message, we’ll see how the resurrection reshapes the way we face death, live in the present, and surrender what needs to die in us today. Our hope is that you’ll walk away with renewed courage, knowing that because of Jesus’ victory, death has lost its sting and your labor in the Lord is never in vain.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Paul calls the church to remember that everything we believe hinges on the resurrection. If Jesus didn’t rise, our faith is empty, our sins still stick, and death still wins. But if He did—and He did—then everything changes. Because Jesus walked out of the tomb, our future isn’t decay but renewal. Our bodies won’t stay buried—they’ll be raised, restored, and made new. This hope isn’t wishful thinking—it’s the fuel that keeps us steadfast when life feels heavy, when death feels final, and when the world feels broken. So the real question is: are you living like Jesus rose from the dead?Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
Join us as we continue in 1 Corinthians looking at the second of two passages regarding women in leadership within a local church (or at least supposedly about women in leadership!). Today, through another difficult passage, we see Paul's intensity towards the importance of corporate worship and the order that is needed to make sure the Lord is being rightly praised and received. For our context, if this passage has very little to do with women in leadership, where does that leave The Well on this issue? Join us as we tackle another difficult passage together!Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
As we continue in 1 Corinthians we hit an extremely awkward, and candidly hard passage. This passage has been used in lots of ways throughout church history, ironically, usually doing the exact opposite thing Paul is commanding. What does head coverings have to do with women's roles within the church, or with the angels? How do we apply difficult passages like this one in other parts of the Bible? Join us as we tackle this difficult section together.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
