Springhouse Church Sermons

We often chase peace as mere calm or the absence of conflict, but find ourselves shaken when life upends our fragile security. Isaiah boldly proclaims a peace that is not circumstantial, but deeply relational—a governing presence that steadies us amid chaos. Pastor Barbie challenges these comfortable notions, revealing that the Prince of Peace offers more than soothing feelings. Drawing from Isaia...

How can we truly hear and follow Jesus in a world of competing voices and spiritual blindness? The Good Shepherd’s call demands more than acknowledgement. It requires radical obedience and humility in recognizing our ongoing need for grace. Rooted in John 9–10, Pastor Jonathan explores the deep divide between those who claim to see and those humble enough to admit their blindness. With vivid image...

Fixing our gaze is not just a challenge in a scrolling, fractured culture. It's a spiritual battleground with life-altering stakes. As believers, we are called to anchor our hearts on Christ in a world of seemingly endless rubble, lost dreams, distraction, and shifting priorities. Pastor Barbie shares how our focus shapes our devotion, identity, and capacity for peace. She urges us to move from su...

We all long for belonging, but too often faith communities fracture over personal convictions, preferences, or cultural issues. Ephesians 4:1-6 presents a deeper challenge: What does it actually mean to live a life worthy of God’s call, especially when differences divide us? Pastor Ronnie reveals that unity is not mere agreement, but a Spirit-built reality marked by humility, gentleness, patience,...

When life grows noisy or uncertain, how does a believer discern the voice of God? Many seek soft guidance, but sometimes God intervenes with a roar -a holy disruption, demanding attention and orienting our hearts. Drawing from Scripture and practical experience, Pastor Barbie shares how God communicates in both gentle whispers and unignorable roars. Just as a lion’s roar signals presence and autho...

Does knowing about God replace truly knowing Him? Many believers choose security or ritual over a vibrant relationship, mistaking religion for the voice of the Good Shepherd. The ache to recognize God's leading collides with the noise of our instincts, reason, and emotion. Pastor Ronnie uses John 10 to question common beliefs about being saved. He explains that Jesus' death is more than just escap...

You're not alone if you've ever wondered whether God can actually speak to you. Or if you've been anxious because it seems like you can't hear Him. Pastor Jonathan speaks to the heart of that struggle and reminds us that sometimes the problem isn't that God's not speaking. Or even that we're not listening. But sometimes His voice is drowned out by other voices, pressures, and even well-meaning cli...

As believers, we desire a vibrant spiritual life but can find ourselves feeling dry or disconnected. Pastor Wayne shares timeless wisdom about returning to God as your true source. You’ll discover the difference between inherited faith and personal conviction, and why both are important for a healthy walk with God. You’ll learn about the different kinds of wells we can draw from and the importance...

We all go through dry spells in faith. The times when habits, old stories, or even serving at a church just aren’t enough. The truth is, they're never enough, and you'll only find yourself still thirsty and empty by Monday. That's because, as Pastor Justin reminds us, this thirst can only be quenched by the living water from Christ Himself. The real satisfaction isn’t found in checking boxes or ju...

We all hit dry seasons. Seasons when we do, it's easy to try to get by on routine, advice from others, or yesterday’s faith—only to realize we’re still thirsty for something real. Pastor Alan shares how easy it is to run on empty, hoping tradition or quick fixes will carry us, especially when life gets overwhelming and unpredictable. When the wells we've depended on run dry. The inherited routines...

We talk about "digging another well" to sustain our faith in the dry seasons. But what does that even look like? Pastor Barbie gives a practical demonstration of what it looks like for her to "dig a well" from Scripture, some of the tools she uses, and some of the things God's highlighted to her as she prepared for this week's sermon. You don't have to be a Bible scholar. She shows how honest ques...

If you've ever felt like your spiritual well has run dry or that you're exausted by the same old conflicts and disappointments, this message is for you. You'll see how past hurts and offenses can clog up your relationship with God and with others... and how that can keep everyone around you thirsty for something better, too. The good news is that you don't have to stay stuck. God invites you to mo...

We all wrestle with wanting to look put-together, protect our pride, or control how others see us, especially in spiritual spaces. Sometimes, our desire for image or comfort keeps us at arm’s length from both God and authentic connection with each other. In this message, Pastor Jonathan shares how King David’s bold, “undignified” worship was less about outward display and more about letting go of...

Hard places are no stranger to any of us. We all walk through moments that feel suffocating, where disappointment, pain, or pressure make freedom seem out of reach. The temptation is to shut down, focus on what’s missing, or start believing nothing will ever change. But what if the breakthrough starts with worship? What if praise comes before freedom? Just like Paul and Silas, Job, and David, we c...

Ever felt like you woke up already burdened, weighed down by frustration, disappointment, or that never-ending sense of not being enough? It doesn't have to be that way. With the help of the holy Spirit, you can choose to let go of the heavy feelings you have, like anger, regret, or confusion. Instead, you can take on feelings like praise, kindness, and thankfulness. You don't have to wait for you...

Wee all know what it's like when a plan falls apart, a leader you look up to leaves, or life just gets incredibly messy and confusing. In this message, Pastor Barbie gets incredibly real about those exact moments. She breaks down the myth that everything in our lives needs to be steady and perfect before we can experience God’s joy or feel Him near. Instead of giving us easy answers, she shares he...

Have you ever wondered if Chirch is only for those who have it all together? Have you avoided talking about God's holiness because you feel unsure if you can live up to it or worry about what God might expect from you? Pastor Jonathan leans in, reminding us that it can be humbling and even a bit scary to see how far we are from God’s expectations. But he doesn't stop at the discomfort. From Isaiah...

Do you ever feel tired and empty, going through the motions but not really connecting? Are you waiting on God and not seeing his goodness? Pastor Barbie’s teaching resonates with people who find it hard to stay motivated and those who feel like they are just going through the motions of their faith. Maybe there are some days, you don’t want to be open or take a step forward. Sometimes, you can’t s...

Ever find yourself wondering where God is when life gets dark, frustrating, or just plain ordinary? Pastor Barbie invites us to sit with the reality that sacred moments aren’t just tucked away in mountain-top experiences or huge miracles. They happen in the middle of everyday messes, small joys, and even deep pain. She tells relatable stories about being a parent, dealing with loss, and always wan...

You may wonder if your story is too messy, if the labels or wounds others have given you are just your lot in life. This message throws open the doors to all—no matter what you’ve carried or the battles you still fight. Pastor Kevin doesn't shy away from difficult topics. He's experienced brokenness and confusion firsthand. What changed everything wasn’t wishing for a simple fix, but coming to the...

Ever felt like you’re following all the right steps but still missing something deeper? Many people walk through church doors confident in their faith yet quietly shackled to old habits, unhealed pain, or a fear of never “arriving.” Pastor Kevin describes this as the difference between getting wet and actually going swimming. Between being close to truth but not fully saturated by it. Pastor Kevin...

Ever wonder if you could really move forward after disappointment or failure? Pastor Barbie invites you into the heart of what it means to respond to God’s invitation to arise, even when self-doubt or the past holds you down. She shares her experiences with seasons of both deep difficulty and surprising joy, reminding us that the journey with God is marked by real questions, lingering shame, and r...

Chaos hits, even when you do everything right. The real tension is not in the storm itself, but in the haunting sense that maybe you’re alone, unseen, or failing. Pastor Kevin reminds us that sometimes we're in the middle of a storm, not because we made a wrong turn, but because we’re right where God called us to be. This is where peace is no longer defined by external calm, but by knowing who sit...

Division isn’t just "out there." If we're not careful, it creeps into our families, friendships, and even our faith communities. We get lost in being right, in old wounds, and in lines drawn by culture or tradition. Yet God has called us to something better: real connection, real unity, a place where Christ rules and grace is extended. You’re welcome to start where you are. The journey isn’t about...

Ever feel like your life looks fine on the outside while chaos brews underneath? We all know what it’s like to manage appearances, hoping our hidden mess will just stay tucked away. But as Pastor Kevin reminds us, God isn’t looking for perfection. He’s after transformation in the places we’d rather keep locked up. We can rest in His goodness as He tends to the wounds, disappointments, and stubborn...
