    It Is Well With My Soul Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2020
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,843 views

    Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

    OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 8, 2021
     | 2,103 views

    Paul began his Gospel message by pointing out the empty altar dedicated to the "Unknown God' whom the Greeks acknowledged and worshipped, then proceeded to tell them about the true and living God and how to know Him personally.

    Paul had now established common ground with the men of Athens by referring to the empty altar dedicated to the God of whom they know nothing yet honored despite their ignorance and uncertainty. Paul did not chide them or charge them with blasphemy, nor does he rebuke them for their polytheism. ...read more

    Overcome - Promises Of God For Those Who Do

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jun 14, 2021
     | 4,500 views

    Life can be a struggle, but deep seated is the fact that its not the physical things that wrestle with, it is the spiritual. JESUS overcame the things of the world, both physical and spiritual. GOD’s WORD tells us of HIS Promises to those who overcome.

    After Happily Ever Series

    Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 13, 2021
     | 1,084 views

    Some of you may think the church’s marital code is hopelessly outdated and irrelevant for today. Many believe the enduring myth that cohabitation works as a sort of trial marriage. The stats tell us that cohabitation actually becomes a trial divorce.

    If you’ve ever read The Little Mermaid story or watched the Disney version, you might think this is every woman’s fantasy. It’s a wonderful, romantic fairy tale of a beautiful girl falling in love with a handsome, rich and dashing prince, overcoming insurmountable odds to be together with a story ...read more

    We Will Not Hide Them Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 31, 2016
     | 8,537 views

    Let us resolve that we will not hide the sayings from of old in the Scriptures; rather, we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. Let us make known the faithfulness of the Lord.

    Psalm 78:1-8 We Will Not Hide Them 1/1/06 D. Marion Clark Introduction Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. ...read more

    Revive Me

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,064 views

    People want blessings. They want renewal. But they are not often so willing to obey and to praise God who gives it to them. That’s why, sometimes, meetings that tell you how to be renewed and be filled in the Holy Spirit are packed to the doors ...

    Opening illustration: I expect that if I were to ask you, ‘Why do you come to ‘The Well’ every week?’, many of you would answer, “I come to worship God and be fed with His Word … I want to hear the good news and grow in fellowship with other folks in the body of ...read more

    There Is A Fountain

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 11, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,248 views

    This fountain was commissioned by God Himself before He ever created the world. IT IS NOT A FOUNTAIN OF WATER -- IT IS A FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD. Zechariah’s prophecy tells us of the climax of God’s revelation of his plan of salvation - it’s the crux of the Gospel.

    TITLE: THERE IS A FOUNTAIN SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 13:1 In this magnificent passage, Zechariah states “A FOUNTAIN WILL BE OPENED.” When we think of the word “fountain,” we probably have in mind a fountain in a public park that sprays water into the air, somewhat like the Splash Pads we see in ...read more

    God As A Helpless Baby

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 6, 2024
     | 1,033 views

    In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, we tend to forget the cause of Christmas. We hear but we don’t hear. The Christmas story tells the most amazing story: that God came down to earth in the form of a tiny, helpless baby.

    GOD AS A HELPLESS BABY Lk. 2:10-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Having to Sleep in the Barn 1. Three college students -- one from India, one a Jew from Israel and the third a Hippie -- were having trouble finding a room for the night. After much searching, they finally found an Inn with only two beds ...read more

    Today, I want to tell you about the greatest gift that anyone has ever received. It’s a gift so wonderful that it changes our lives forever. Do you know what it is? It’s Jesus!

    There’s Just Something About Christmas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2022
     | 2,540 views

    Christmas is by far the most popular of these seven American holidays. Yet, not everybody can tell you why we celebrate every other holiday. Only around half of all Americans could retell the Christmas story from memory.

    It’s now just two weeks and just fourteen days until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: family gathering together, time off from work and obligations, and the strong sense of nostalgia we all feel this time of year. Nat King Cole captured the sentiment of the season for many ...read more

    The Consequences Of Producing A Crop Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 5, 2025
     | 445 views

    After sharing the Parable of the Four Soils, Jesus tells us what the consequences in our lives of seeing that fruitfulness will be. This sermon unpacks four consequences of seeing a "crop" of God's fruitfulness in your life.

    - I need to start with a word that I use quite a bit in sermons: context. - It is essential that we don’t pull passages out of their original context and try to make them mean something that the original author didn’t intend. Further, we need to look at what comes before and after to see if that ...read more

    Strengthened In Christ: Living The Impossible Life

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Jun 19, 2025
     | 465 views

    We live in a world that constantly tells us, "Be strong." "Believe in yourself." But when our strength fails, our minds confused, and we hit dead end, we discover that we are limited.

    Scripture: Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Good morning, Church! We live in a world that constantly tells us: “Be strong.” “Believe in yourself.” “You can do anything you set your mind to.” But there are days when those words fall flat—when our strength ...read more

    What A (Resurrected) Body!

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2020
     | 3,030 views

    There is a verse in the Bible that tells us that when Jesus returns "we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is". In what ways will we be like Him? In what ways will we NOT be like Him?

    What A (Resurrected) Body! Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not ...read more

     | 2,823 views

    In trying times like these, what is at the foundation of your life? In what have you based your faith? Psa. 118:22 tells us that trusting our lives to any foundation not set by the Cornerstone (Jesus Christ) is foolish.
