Near Earth’s equator, there is a zone where the prevailing trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres converge, creating a phenomenon in which there is no wind — the doldrums. In the days of great mariners, if ships accidentally wandered into this zone, they may never leave — and the result was eventual death. Today, men and women still wander into areas of listlessness, and the results can be devastating. So this month, we’ll discover how to live in dead air, until we sense the Fresh ...

In Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT), the prophet said the Lord “will take delight in you with gladness” and “will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” Imagine the Lord singing and dancing about you! And if God can laugh, dance and sing with joy because of you and all the great plans He has for you, then so can you. No matter where you may temporarily find yourself, you are moving toward something amazing. The Well’s fifth core value is, “Have fun!” and we will do just that.

We have to have something that is bigger than ourselves that we are living for. If not, life itself grinds down and in until we are left with nothing but the sum total of our own selfishness, brokenness, and bitterness.

Jesus was a storyteller. The stories, or parables, that He told were to teach and illustrate something about God, His character, and His kingdom. Throughout June, we’ll take an in-depth look at a few of them.

Faith is difficult. It's tough, frustrating, and seemingly contradictory, and while the Bible has all the answers, finding them is another story — a vast, complicated, intimidating story. Thankfully, we don't have to figure it all out on our own. Not only do we have leaders in church to guide us, but we have each other. When we join together in community, we learn from others who are further along in their faith journey. As we worship and learn together, we allow others to speak into our lives. ...

Baptism is more than a symbol. Worship, evangelism, social justice, and even suffering have value and meaning in that they reflect the life and nature of God that is being formed in us. And baptism is an outward demonstration of that inward reality. We are not our own, and our lives are not our own. In baptism, we willingly lay them down and come up from the water dead to ourselves, alive in Jesus.

The promise of the Holy Spirit was a promise of something better, and yet Jesus’ followers mourned, because they didn’t understand. How often does God try to do something wonderful in our lives, but we resist and mourn, because it isn’t what we wanted or asked for? The Holy Spirit was given so that we would never lose our intimate connection with God in the midst of our confusing and broken world. So stop and breathe — let’s wait to sense God’s Holy Spirit speaking to our hearts and leading us t...

Even after the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” (Acts 1:6b, NLT) They were still expecting something that simply wasn’t going to happen. Why are our expectations so often in stark contrast to our experiences within the Kingdom of God? Jesus has given some pretty clear promises through his life and word — so why are they so hard for us to figure out and apply to our lives? Perhaps a fresh look at the tr...

It’s amazing the difference a week can make. One week for Jesus started with a proclamation, “Hail the King of Israel!” It ended with, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” How quickly people’s attitudes shift with circumstances and situations. If Jesus had said something — anything — would they have listened? Would we?

The life, death and resurrection of Jesus was the fulfillment of all that God had planned, promised and foreshadowed. This news — these stories of a savior — can bring us life-altering, life-forming lessons and insight. Too often, though, they only evoke memories of Sunday school, coloring pages and Christian cartoons. As we approach Easter, let’s slow down and look more closely at the classic stories of Jesus, and how they can impact the course for our lives and give us confidence to face our c...

This life is marked with hardship and difficulties, even in our faith. Jesus said, “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33 NLT) And it isn’t just that we don’t have to go through things alone, or that God will engage us and what we are dealing with. He has promised that in the end, we win. If we will set our hearts toward Him and our intent to do His well, Isaiah promises, we won’t be rejected and we won’t be put to sh...

In the Bible, God made all kinds of agreements with all kinds of people. But how does that work exactly, and what did Jesus say about it? The Apostle Paul asked if we should use the grace of God as a justification for our sin (see Rom. 6:1). Jesus didn’t come to undo anything that had already been set in motion; instead, He came to fulfill it for us, in us and through us. He is the covenant keeper, and that’s why we can trust the promises He gives. He will NEVER change the rules midstream....

In the earliest stories of God, we seem Him being close and personal with people. He walked in the Garden with the first man and woman. He called Abraham, Isaac and Jacob into a deep personal relationship. He invited the nation of Israel to be His people, and promised to be their God. No matter what went right or wrong, He was there — helping, teaching, engaging. He and His love seemed so relentless, personal and close. How should that affect our lives, our hopes, our faith? God is still present...

While we know men will always let us down, God is different. Numbers 23:19 (NLT) tells us, “God is not a man.” When God spoke to Job from a whirlwind, He asked him, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together…?” (See Job 38-39.) It’s no wonder Job replied, “I am nothing — how could I ever find the answers? I will cover my mouth with my hand.” (Job 40:4 NLT) To say that God is holy is not ...
