    The Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 1, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,466 views

    Each of us were born with a debilitating condition - spiritual blindness. Regardless of our desire to see, spiritually we were blind to the ways of God. Our only hope was for a miracle. Thankfully, Jesus is the Light of the world.

    The Light of the World John 9: 1-11 As a boy Robert Louis Stevenson was intrigued by the work of the old lamplighter who went about with a ladder and a torch, setting the street lights ablaze for the night. One evening in Edinburgh, Scotland, as young Robert stood watching with childish ...read more

    Elders In The Congregation Part 2 Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 20, 2018
     | 7,107 views

    When Paul left Crete, there were certain things that still needed to be set in order; there were false teachers to be silenced, and there was the pressing need for recognized spiritual guides in the assemblies. He left Titus to handle these matters.

    Chapter 1, Verses 5-9 Title: Elders in the Congregation For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of ...read more

    Gideon Prudently Pacifies The Offended Ephramites Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 20, 2019
     | 4,547 views

    They were angry with Gideon because they were left out and did not share in the glory. Gideon tactfully gave them the “soft answer” that healed the wounds and prevented division. Better to do that than to start another war.

    Chapter 27 Gideon Prudently Pacifies the Offended Ephramites [Judges 8.1-8.4] Scripture 1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply. 2 And he said unto them, ...read more

    Today we'll begin a study about the APOSTLES, what were the requirements to be an Apostle? There are some people today that call them selves apostles, but as we're about to see, no one today meets these requirements.

    It wasn't just wise men who had gifts for the Lord. Find out who the three wise women were, what their gifts were, and what they can teach all of us, even now!

    The Three Wise Women -- Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna Last week we spoke about the Magi who came and gave gifts to Jesus after He was born. We think of them as the “Three Wise Men”, even though we really don’t know how many there were. Each of the Magi’s gifts had a specific ...read more

    Let’s live like we’re dying…because we are. But let’s also live like we’re going to live forever…because we will…either in heaven or in hell.

    Living in Light of Eternity Mark 12:18-27 October 7-8, 2017 Rev. Brian Bill As we consider the massacre that took place in Las Vegas this past week, many emotions rise to the surface and numerous questions remain unanswered. Here are some that come to mind. • It bothers us that a motive for ...read more

    Retreat And Regroup

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,510 views

    The church says that the disciples were acting cowardly when they scattered after Jesus' arrest. If they did not and they were arrested and killed then who would have brought the Gospel to us? This is a DIFFERENT view of those events

    Retreat and Regroup Mark 14:27-32 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.’ 28 “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.” 29 But Peter said to ...read more

    Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Apr 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,597 views

    There were three powerful miracles that took place as Jesus was hanging on the cross. These were supernatural events, witnessed by everyone around and they had eternal significance. 1. Darkness. 2. The torn veil 3. Earthquake and resurrection.

    One day the reformer Martin Luther was feeling rather down. He had problems at his workplace. He felt the heavy pressure that came with being a professor, pastor, and father. And he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones. As he moved around the house lamenting for all that was happening, his ...read more

    What’s The Deciding Factor?

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 12, 2021
     | 1,905 views

    We were created to depend solely on God. Our Lord, and our Savior. We were created to be God’s Sons, and God’s Daughters. We shouldn’t fight this. We are His.

    What’s the Deciding Factor? Psalm 32:5, 7-9TPT I was reading this article about a couple and their plants. The wife stated, My household plants were drooping, She read about this horticultural hint, on how to keep plants looking fresh.

    Spiritual Depression; Its Causes And Cure - Philippians 1:12-21 Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 11, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,797 views

    I think if we were to take the book of Philippians and we were to try to understand emotions, there would be a map that goes like this with these three particular kind of emotions. One is anger. The second is sadness. And the third is anxiety.

    The book of Philippians is a very emotionally transparent book. It's the most emotional book in the New Testament. That's because Paul is sharing his emotions with them, but he's also processing his emotions with them, and he's also encouraging them to process their emotions in a ...read more

    Jesus Dines With Sinners Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,557 views

    Jesus showed mercy to lepers, prostitutes, adulterers and associated with people society treated as people to be avoided. Jesus sought out those who were down and out. When they met Jesus, their lives were transformed.

    There is something very gratifying about being accepted by people of high social status. If I am ever with someone with high social standing or if they have lots of clout, I am right away taken in. If my friends could see me now, I am thinking. I am easily starstruck by anyone with even a little ...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

    "What You Talkin' About, Jesus?"

    Contributed by Paul Ray on Aug 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,595 views

    Throughout the Gospel of John you will find Jesus using simple, yet clever, analogies about wind, water, bread, wine, doors, shepherds, light, – etc. Each instance was a teaching moment - created by misunderstandings among His audience.

    August 2, 2009 “What You Talkin’ About, Jesus?” John 4:7-15 / John 3:1-9 A few years ago there was a situation comedy, Diff’rent Strokes, where two cute young black boys were living, as adopted brothers, in an upperclass white family, and invariably there would come a time in each ...read more

    Uplifting Tired Arms

    As the arms of Moses were upheld, so we need to uphold the tired arms of the people in leadership in our churches.

    One of the most striking pictures of the church and its role was presented to me as I was walking up King Street in the uptown of Saint John one afternoon. King Street has been cited as the steepest hill in a city of Saint John’s size in all of Canada. A little boy, just tall enough to reach his ...read more

    What is our universal story of hope? It is the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

    For the entire month of January, we are going to focus on this thing called evangelism. Now to me that word is sometime scary and evokes many different emotions. For those of you with the spiritual gift of evangelism, you may get a little excited because this is right up your ally and you’re ...read more
