You Are Amazing! body*MIND*spirit (PARTIAL RECORDING)

(Partial Recording)You Are Amazing! body*MIND*spiritIf there is anything amazing about us, it is our minds. Not only can't we really understand how our brains do all they do, we don't even know all what they do and can do. There is more potential between your ears than you will ever know. With such potential for greatness comes potential for problems. We know that part too. Depression, anxiety... mental illness and simple challenges abound bringing great pain to our lives. What was God thinking (speaking of minds)? Again, no answers, but as a community and stewards of this amazing gift of 'mind' it is something for us to talk about together.Jacob's Well information can be found at http://jacobs-well.net or Jacob's Well Minneapolis on FacebookOlder messages (back to Pre-Christmas 2010) can be found in the archives at http://jacobswell.podbean.comWe have a Mobile-Friendly Messages Page

You Are Amazing! BODY*mind*spirit

You Are Amazing! BODY*mind*spiritYou are not only amazing, you are an amazing whole human being. A big part of that 'whole' is your body - you know, that thing you see when you look in the mirror. Our bodies are a huge part of our identity with so many complicated feelings, questions and issues related to them. Like...How do you feel about that body of yours? What potential does your physical self possess? How do you / should you care for yourself? How do you relate to others as physical beings. Well, we won't answer all (or any) of those questions, but we can sharpen the focus and give some perspective on these questions that matter.Jacob's Well information can be found at http://jacobs-well.net or Jacob's Well Minneapolis on FacebookOlder messages (back to Pre-Christmas 2010) can be found in the archives at http://jacobswell.podbean.comWe have a Mobile-Friendly Messages Page

You Are Amazing! Intro

You Are Amazing!
THIS Sunday we're atMinnehaha Falls (MAP)! So, practice your praying and see if you can't get some summer-like weather for us. But rain or shine we'll be there kicking off a brand-new series, "You are Amazing!" You are, you know. The mere fact that you can read this paragraph and know what was going through my head when I wrote it says that you are one of the most magnificent products of this universe! You are an amazing person with amazing potential and therefore amazingresponsibility. Let's hold that all together and get the
whole amazing picture of who we are. See you atthe Falls! ~Greg

We GET to do this! Part 1

Life might be hard (got a story about that?) but life is good. In fact that's true about everything God calls us into. Being church together is one of life's great opportunities. Watching people grow, being part of 'sacred
moments' in people's lives, having your own eyes and heart opened in ways they weren't before... that's good stuff. And we GET to do this. It's time to put a nail in the coffin of the ought to's and have to's and to thank each other and celebrate the church we get to be.

Stuff That Works: Doing Your God-Time

Maybe you've got this figured out, but for most of us the solo parts of  learning and growing in faith can be a real challenge. Getting proficient at reading the Bible, learning to pray, bridging real life decisions with what you believe doesn't happen automatically and takes practice. Wouldn't it be nice to take time as we shift into our summer schedules to figure some of this out together? We thought so. So, THIS Sunday, along with a cup of coffee, good people and great music, we're going to learn about and try some stuff that works.

What's your m&m? Part 2

For the church to be healthy, it has to take care of itself. But if being church is all about itself it has gone terribly wrong. You are called to the church AND sent out to the world. That's your mission. It's taking who and where you are and finding ways to serve others. It isn't always convenient, it isn't always easy, but it always matters. This Sunday we are going to take a hard look at how this works, how it feels, and what difference it makes in the world. Be prepared to be surprised!

What's your m&m? Part 1

There are over six billion people on this planet, but there is only one you. What makes you so special isn't that you are greater, better, faster, smarter... but simply that you are different. That's important because it means that you are particularly shaped to make a contribution no one else can make. This Sunday, and on May 19 we are going to discover how that shapes who we are as a church and what we do in the world. It's your m&m. It makes life more fun and the world a better place.
