becoming a good samaritan

MISS SOME OF THE MESSAGES FROM JUSTSTART>? Listen to them HERE.

What if faith wasn't something to be held, but to be lived? Then it would be a lot about just starting. Just starting to do what our hearts show us, turning strangers into neighbors, following Jesus where Jesus goes... to those who need him, to the part of our own life that needs him.

One of the things we say over and over is that Jacob's Well isn't the kind of church you have, it's the kind of church you are. We want to be the church. We don't expect to be perfect - God didn't ask us to be. We don't expect to save the world - that's not our job. But we want to be part of God's love in the world in a way that matters; giving from the abundance God has given everyone last one of us to give, receiving the abundance God wants every last one of us to receive.

During these weeks we will learn, teach, think about, experiment with and practice being that kind of church. It will provide the focus for our Sunday gatherings and our GroupLife experiences in our homes. Interested in being part God's love like this too? Well... just start and stop on by any of these Sundays, contact our staff, follow our website, find a GroupLife group, or... just start in your own way.
