THE WELL @ HOME CHURCH

God isn't limited by doors and walls; why would his church?

We are excited to have several individuals joining us, exploring different expressions of what many know as "church" from their homes.  This is supported scripturally and historically by the first churches in the Hellenistic world which largely met in homes. 

​

What IS home church?  Home church is a deliberately planted church experience in a host home.  It is not a social club or just simply a "Bible study group".  Even though many home churches may explore fellowship and study outside of their normal home church gatherings, "home church" is just as much of a "church service" as anything you've seen inside a brick-and-mortar location. 


These videos are here to help facilitate discussions and parallel the sermons given at our in-person services each week so that everyone is on the same page and we can encourage a feeling of unity.  Discussions in home church are often organic and may take on a different flavor, but in this way everyone can be looking at common themes and subjects.

Home Church Guided Lesson - January 19, 2025

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Sown" and is a part of our series titled "Firmly Rooted". Message given on January 19th, 2025. Christ's way of communicating to His people in a way they understand is truly amazing. His parables give us the keys to so many truths of His nature, including Faith and Perseverance. Through Faith and Perseverance we are driven to dive deeper into our understanding of the God who saves. This is why Bible study becomes so important: not only do we get the immediate benefit of learning something new, but it also stresses our ability to hold the faith and persevere by challenging what we THINK we may know about our truly infinite God.

Home Church Guided Lesson - January 12, 2025

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Planted" and is a part of our series titled "Firmly Rooted". Message given on January 12th, 2025. In what do you base your faith? Christ, right? But what does that mean? So many churches use the correct rhetoric, but then their actions seem to paint a picture of esteemed institutions that pride themselves on healthy budgets and robust program offerings. What really makes a church? Christ gives us some very clear answers to this critical question.

Home Church Guided Lesson - January 5, 2025

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Continue the Joy" and is a part of our Christmas 2024 series titled "Season of Joy". Message given on January 5th, 2025. Many of your calendars will note that Christmas is long-gone, but the church "Christmas holiday" doesn't end until 12 days after December 25th... today. With this one last remembrance of Christmas, we should look at the newness brought to earth during the events of Christmas and how that spurns us towards total rejuvenation!

Home Church Guided Lesson - December 29, 2024

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "The Jesus in Chanukkah". Message given on December 29th, 2024. Happy Chanukah! Wait... why are we celebrating Chanukah? Well, Christians typically don't because most of what we consider "mainline Christianity" is inherently biased towards the Gentiles, but Jesus himself actually celebrated Chanukah as well. I wonder what we could learn from it?

Home Church Guided Lesson - December 15, 2025

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Know the Joy" and is a part of our Christmas 2024 series titled "Season of Joy". Message given on December 15th, 2024. Mary certainly knew some things about the baby she was about to have, but she didn't know everything. It's almost unthinkable for many of us to go along with a plan that hasn't been explained to us, so how could Mary be so trusting? She reveals a part of that answer in her own prayer of thanksgiving in Luke 1.

Home Church Guided Lesson - December 8, 2024

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "See the Joy" and is a part of our Christmas 2024 series titled "Season of Joy". Message given on December 8th, 2024. God reveals Himself to the main players in the Nativity story through angels. When we look at how God communicated to these individuals, what can we learn about the nature of God revealing Himself? When we think to ourselves "God is being silent", is it possible that God IS revealing Himself, but in ways we do not expect (or desire)?

Home Church Guided Lesson - December 1, 2024

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Hear the Joy" and is a part of our Christmas 2024 series titled "Season of Joy". Message given on December 1st, 2024. So many of us are filled with ideas that the "reason for the season" is a baby in a manger; it's not. The significance of Jesus at Christmas isn't that he was born, but that He came at all. The Messiah had been long awaited for millennia since the fall of Eden. Prophets spoke for centuries prior about the coming of our Savior, God with us, who would show us God's compassion and power. The coming of this Messiah is the REAL meaning for the season. The question for us is "are you listening for the reason?" Are we prepared to hear the truth God has for us or are we too busy reading our own meaning into cultural holidays? If we're receptive to what God is showing us, we're destined to be blown away by the sheer Joy of knowing a God bigger than ourselves.

Home Church Guided Lesson - November 24, 2024

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Declining Arguments". Message given on November 24th, 2024. A wise person once told me "you don't have to accept every invitation you're given to fight." This is very difficult culturally, because we love a good struggle. Even those who claim to be "conflict adverse" often have a part of them that likes being "correct". It would be easy to look at individuals in the Bible standing for truth and argue that this justifies our desire for righteous conflict, but how did Jesus response to invitations he was given to disagree?

Home Church Guided Lesson - November 17, 2024

This is the guided lesson video to accompany our partners worshiping in home church groups. This message is called "Greatest Commandment". Message given on November 17th, 2024. We all know the greatest commandments: love God and love people. Sometimes what we don't really appreciate is that the first of these is "love God". Loving God MUST be the first and foremost important part of our faith. Otherwise, the entire theology of what it means to serve a truly divine God wastes away. Recognizing the dominion of God above all else is to firm foundation God desires, and we need.
