A farmer cleaned up his prize pig, gave it a huge bath, put a bow on it, and then perfumed it up! He said to himself, “This pig will be different! It will stay clean and not want the wallow in the mud.” But as soon as the pig was let out of the care of the farmer, it went straight back to the mud hole and jumped in! Isn’t that like we are so many times?
We want to do right, but then inside of us something takes over and we run back to the mud! Imagine doing something that would CHANGE the pig’s nature to not like the mud but want to stay clean and follow the farmer instead of running away to the mud. It would be amazing.
Now imagine, if your inner nature could be CHANGED! Imagine how amazing it would be to live without even liking the “muddy things” of your life. The inner change in you would be so deep and effective that you would want to do what’s right and even have the power to do those things.
RELIGION is like the farmer’s attempt to fix the pig with a wash, perfume, and a bow. It doesn’t work. It tries to fix people’s problems by working on behavior and cleaning up outward conditions.
However, a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with God through Jesus Christ has the power to change your inner nature so deeply that you will never be the same and not want the old wrong ways of thinking, believing, and behaving. God literally and supernaturally changes you from the inside-out. That is the message of the Bible – not religion!
The message of Jesus has the power to transform individuals and families lives radically. Unlike self-help and many other methods of trying to manage life’s difficulties, the Gospel of Jesus has the power to change a person’s heart which affects every other area of their life.

Feeling shaken, broken, directionless, unsettled, and wondering about where your life is going? This message is for you. God doesn’t want you wandering around through life wondering about the answers to these questions. Jesus describes it for us in John 15. Join Pastor Bill this morning as he teaches on Real Life in Christ, the Abiding Life.
Hey friends, we were hoping for a Fall Church in the Park kickoff but the smoke from the fires are keeping us from doing anything outside. The Well has been donated a huge projector and screen for outdoor movies, but we are not in position to be able to do this either.
So I have been working on a way we can do church together and still have close fellowship with one another. You will be seeing our new resource and training come out in the next two weeks.
Fire Pit Church is coming and we believe you will love it!

Join Pastor Bill as he teaches on how to find peace in the middle of panic and chaos. Psalm 11 on June 28, 2020 – Church in the Park.
1 In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to my soul,
“Flee like a bird to your mountain, 2 for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; 3 if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. 5 The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. 6 Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.”
