    Gospel Community: Three-in-One in the Middle of the Mess (episode 1)

    Send a prayer. Gospel Community explores Paul’s vision of a people shaped not by preference or proximity, but by the grace of Jesus Christ. This week’s reflections invite us to see the church as a shared life—formed by the gospel, sustained by love, and sent together for God’s glory. In "Three-in-One in the Middle of the Mess," 1 Corinthians—a letter is written to a divided, conflicted church, yet it still bears clear traces of the Trinity. Through key passages on spiritual gifts, holiness, embodied life, and love, this episode highlights how Paul speaks of the same God at work as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: the Father who calls and sends, the Son who redeems and forms one body, and the Spirit who indwells, reveals Christ, and empowers unity. Rather than abstract doctrine, the Trinity becomes lived theology—an invitation to participate in God’s shared life right in the middle of the mess.  Continue the Conversation We encourage you to keep this conversation going with God—through prayer, reflection, and time in His Word. Consider reading and meditating on these passages as you listen (or after you finish), asking the Father to draw you deeper into life in the Son through the Holy Spirit: ·         1 Corinthians 1:4–9 — Grace in Christ; called into fellowship with the Son. ·         1 Corinthians 2:10–16 — The Spirit searches God’s depths and reveals God’s wisdom (the mind of Christ). ·         1 Corinthians 3:16–17 — The church as God’s temple, indwelt by the Spirit. ·         1 Corinthians 6:11 — Saved and made holy: in Jesus’ name and by the Spirit of our God. ·         1 Corinthians 6:19–20 — Your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit; glorify God with your life. ·         1 Corinthians 8:6 — One God, the Father… and one Lord, Jesus Christ… (a key Trinitarian pattern). ·         1 Corinthians 12:4–6 — Same Spirit, same Lord, same God: unity and diversity in the church. ·         1 Corinthians 12:12–13 — One body in Christ; baptized by one Spirit into unity. ·         1 Corinthians 13 — Love as the “more excellent way” that shapes every gift and every relationship. ·         2 Corinthians 13:14 — A classic Trinitarian blessing: Christ, God, and the Spirit together. ·         Ephesians 4:4–6 — One Spirit, one Lord, one God and Father: unity rooted in God’s oneness. ·         Matthew 28:19 — Baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    The Risen King Reigns!: Jesus takes His Rightful Place as King! (Episode 2)

    Send a prayer. Jesus didn’t only rise from the grave—He ascended and took His rightful place as King. In this episode of From the Well to the World (series: The Risen King Reigns), Pastor Dee and Bernie explore the power and purpose of the Ascension. Drawing from Acts 1, Psalm 110, and key New Testament promises, they unpack why the Ascension matters: Jesus has all authority right now, the powers of darkness have been disarmed, and our King is not distant—He intercedes for us from the throne. You’ll also hear practical encouragement for everyday life: how Christ’s enthronement frees us from living defeated, from carrying the burden of control, and from striving in our own strength—and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to walk with the reigning King. Close with a heartfelt invitation to surrender afresh to Jesus, our risen and enthroned Lord.   Scripture Used Acts 1:9–11 — Jesus is lifted up and taken by a cloud (the Ascension). Psalm 110:1 — “Sit at my right hand…until I make your enemies your footstool.” Matthew 28:18 — Jesus has “all authority…in heaven and on earth.” Colossians 2:15 — The powers of darkness are disarmed through Christ’s victory. Ephesians 2:6 — We are raised up and “seated…with him” in the heavenly places. John 16:7 — It is better that Jesus go away so the Helper (the Holy Spirit) comes. Resources Evans, Anthony T.

    Waiting, Whispers, Wind

    Send a prayer. In this reflective episode of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie linger in the “in-between” days of Acts 1:14—after Jesus’ ascension and before Pentecost. Through the themes of waiting, whispers, and the wind to come, they invite you to see how prayer, unity, and remembering Jesus can shape you in seasons when God has promised—yet hasn’t revealed the timing. If you’re waiting for clarity, healing, or direction, this gentle meditation offers hope for the pause and courage to trust what God is forming before the outpouring.  Scripture References Acts 1:9–14  Acts 1:11–14  Acts 2:1–4  Psalm 25:3  Luke 24:44–49  John 15:15  John 16:7  Joel 2:28–29 These passages anchor the waiting between Ascension and Pentecost, remembrance of Jesus, prayer, and the promise of the Spirit.
