Coping In Community
Needing to cope, and struggling to cope, are inescapable parts of the human life. While many of us tend to isolate and convince ourselves we're "fine" during times when we're struggling to cope, the true calling of the Church is to cope together in community. This means we're called to offer help to those struggling to cope, and to ask for and receive help from others when we're struggling to cope. Coping in community produces a strength and hope that we simply don't find anywhere else.

Good Cope vs. Bad Cope
In this message we ask people to consider the ways they cope and if they could replace some unhealthy coping behaviors with others that are healthier. When we have healthy patterns in our life, we create margins and we are better able to take the punches that life throws at us. In this message we are challenged to compare ourselves not with each other but with the person we were yesterday.

Sucker Punched
The word cope means to deal effectively with something difficult or to face and deal with responsibilities, problems, or difficulties, especially successfully or in a calm or adequate manner. The word, to cope, comes to us through an Old English word that is derived from Latin which means to receive or take a blow with the fist. Life will sucker punch you. It will hit you at the worse time, when you are most vulnerable in a way that is often unfair and even cruel. What is worse is that these cha...

When We Worship Together - Summer Mixtape
When we worship together, our experience of the fullness of God's presence deepens, becomes exponentially more powerful than we could ever imagine. When we worship together, the depth of our knowledge, personally, of God's love and faithfulness in all seasons of our lives, becomes our shared knowledge, celebration of, response to, the overwhelming love of God. When we sing our pain, our love, our faith in God, together, Jesus is seen, heard, felt, turned to, and believed in; more and more people...

When Worship Gets Personal - Summer Mixtape
When worship gets personal, when all other distractions are removed, and it's just you and God, what song do you sing? This message is all about the right-now, personal, intimate love of God for you, and what it looks like to respond to God's love in times of personal worship, and not just through music! This is about being mindful of God, focused on His saving love and power through Jesus Christ, in all that we do. Worship is about our whole lives, and it reaches the deepest, most closely-held ...

The Words We Sing - Summer Mixtape
This message introduces the idea of how we can better understand the words we are singing and overall meaning of a worship song by considering three questions: Who is singing? Who are we singing to? What is the origin and intent of the words we are singing?

What's In A Song - Mixtape
We often ask ourselves, “did I get anything out of worship today"? The better questions we should ask are, “did God get anything out of my worship today?, was God pleased with my worship?, was He satisfied in my worship?, was my worship focused on my needs or God’s pleasure?, was I prepared to worship God or did I just show up and hope something good would happen?". Today we are going to consider how to prepare a true heart for worship by considering the hymn, Come Thou Fount. In this hymn we ch...

Serve (Our Shared Identity) - Tools
This message calls people into our shared identity as those who serve in Jesus' name. The commitment of Serve is a call to live a lifestyle of service for others and for God. It is a call to actively follow Jesus - to know him and becoming like him - by following his example of serving. When we do, not only are people seen, loved, and helped, but we also come alive more and more!

Share - Tools
We have been commissioned to go out and make disciples of every nation, and that begins with the boldness to share our story and God's story with the people around us.

Belong - Tools
"Belong" is one of our Five Commitments at Jacob's Well, and is one of the first tools we receive as God's people. We're handed identity, we belong. But we have a way of feeling like we don't belong, based on human stuff. Jesus says different. And it's important to focus on peace and who we are TOGETHER. It's a positive, not a negative, and the other Commitments need "Belong" to have substance.

Stuck - Wellbeing
This world is warring against our well being. It creates an environment in which, the normal state of the average person is fear, anxiety, sadness, anger and isolation. If we are not proactive and intentional about our well being we will slip into patterns that will steal our life and put us in “just get by mode.” The good news is that Jesus has come to give us a full and abundant life even in the midst of this broken world. He has also provided a path to renewal through the Holy Spirit, prayer ...

The Power of Easter - Power Struggle
In this message we will celebrate that Jesus used His power and influence to bring redemption and the forgiveness of sins. He then empowers us to offer and declare forgiveness to those who put their faith in Him. We will celebrate this forgiveness and call people to fully embrace this forgiveness through a profession of our faith and the declaration of the forgiveness we have in Christ Jesus.

The Illusion and Reality of Power - Power Struggle
Earthly power, in and of itself, falls short of the reality of God's power. This power was fully realized in the power of Jesus as He fully surrendered to death on a cross. Jesus has a different definition of power, one that challenges our illusions about power; what it means, who it is for, and what its results are meant to be in the world.

Place and Position: Caiaphas - Power Struggle
Power is not evil, in fact God empowers us to serve the common good. Of course, power can be used for great evil and selfishness. We see that example in the High Priest Caiaphas and the religious leaders of Jesus' day. In this message we will call people to become aware of the power they have and ask them to consider how they use it. Do they use it to dominate and control? Do they keep it hidden because of insecurity and fear? Or do they use it with wisdom and gentleness to be a blessing to thos...

Haman - Live It Well (Esther)
This message will be a warning to all who would live small and seek to acquire things for themselves as an owner. Not only will power, wealth and status leave us unsatisfied, but we all must remember that at the end of our life we will give an account for all that we have done and said. We should seek to live a life as a steward who will give an account, and we should turn to God for mercy and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ.

Esther - Live It Well (Esther)

Mordecai - Live It Well (Esther)
In the face of hatred and the reckless evil in this world, what can the people of God do? Mordecai was a man who had a radical trust in God and the sovereignty of his plan for his people and for the whole world. He saw his life not as an end unto itself, but rather as a means to advancing God’s plan. Mordecai's willingness to be used by God is a powerful example of stewardship. Once he achieves power he is an incredible example of a servant to his people.
