Springwell Sundays

In this message, we’ll look at James, the brother of Jesus, and how his own story gives weight to his teaching on faith and works. James knew Jesus personally, but eventually came to recognize Him not just as his brother, but as Lord. From there, James challenges believers not to settle for a faith that is only heard, discussed, or claimed. Real faith produces action.

Sometimes life leaves us feeling like we’re running on empty—tired, discouraged, overwhelmed, and unable to see all the good around us. Elijah reminds us that even when we’ve run far from God or can’t see what He’s doing, God hasn’t left us, He meets us right where we are.

There’s another side of joy and that’s peace. When life feels chaotic, we can choose joy and peace that’s only found in our Creator. No matter what we’re facing, Jesus is our ultimate safety net, and His presence gives us a peace and joy that circumstances can’t take away.

It’s easy to think we’ve lost our joy, when the truth is we’ve simply lost our focus. Lasting joy grows when our eyes stay focused on Jesus and the attitude he showed. The more we humble ourselves, serve, and keep Him at the center, the more we’ll find the deep peace and joy we’ve been missing.

Joy has a way of leaking out when we try to base it on our circumstances, other people, or the things we have, but God offers something much deeper. As we begin walking through Philippians, we’ll discover that real joy grows when we see God’s purpose in every season, shift our perspective, and remember that our hope is ultimately found in Jesus.

Our real Enemy is not the people around us. It’s not our spouse, our kids, our friend, our co-worker, or a stranger on the road. Our Enemy is Satan and he is out for blood! How do we fight back? We know who our Enemy is, not let’s learn how to combat his strategy and attacks.

Life’s biggest battles are often the ones we don’t see coming. Satan’s greatest tactics are distraction, deception, division, and destruction. How do we stay alert and not fall for the tactics? The answer lies in what Jesus came to do for us.

We may not be able to see it, but we’re in a real spiritual battle. We have an enemy. Let’s expose who our enemy is, how he works, and why Jesus has complete authority over him, reminding us that while the battle is real, the victory already belongs to Christ.

Growth isn't usually comfortable. God uses discipline, honesty, and surrender to shape us into people who reflect His character. It's a challenging process, but it shapes us into who we are meant to be.

Our prayers are the way we communicate with God. They are how we share our feelings, fears, and desires with him. He answers our prayers. The thing about answered prayers, though, is that they don’t always look like answered prayers. They don’t always look like we thought they’d look. How do we learn to see God’s activity in our lives? How do we learn to pray with different expectations?

What if instead of covering up your flaws, your mistakes, or your doubts you cried out to God with freedom to express your honest feelings? Let's look at the Psalms for examples of honesty and raw emotions that come from unfiltered conversations with our God.

It’s okay to bring your questions and pain honestly to God. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, challenges us to trust God’s character even when He doesn’t respond the way we hope. He’s still present in the fire and he has a purpose for it all!

Springwell Church is an amazing place with a great mission. It’s a place that welcomes all and invites all to be a part. So, how do we invite people to Jesus and to church? How do we make a REAL invite? It’s not as complicated as we may think.

We have a tendency to complicate what God made simple. That even applies to Salvation. So let's strip away all the noise and look at how simple salvation really is.

Psalm 23 is one of the most famous chapters in all of the Bible. We are his sheep, he is our shepherd. How does God, our Shepherd, keep us safe? What about when we go through the toughest things life has to offer? The good news is that his goodness and mercy will follow us forever.

Psalm 23 is one of the Bible’s most recognized passages. It offers us assurance and safety, no matter what's going on. It’s a beautiful invitation of rest and security in God. Let’s dive deeper into this Psalm and get the full context of what it means for us.

We often can't admit that we're carrying more than we can handle. We try to find a way to reposition or shift the weight, but that just makes the weight even more difficult to hold. What if we accepted that we aren't strong enough to carry the weight, but there is someone who is?

Your life may feel like a mess right now. Maybe you’re even asking, “Why me?” Like Joseph, sometimes we don’t understand what God is up to. Even when we don’t understand it, though, we believe this may be tough BUT GOD is still working.

Joseph had a dream but things didn’t go according to his plan. Now he’s in a waiting period. He’s waiting for his dream to become a reality. What do we do during seasons of waiting? How do we not just make it through them, but how do we flourish in them? Waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons if we’ll stay faithful.

The unexpected happens often and fast. Life can throw curve balls that make us feel like we’re gonna lose it all. What is it about the unexpected that has such an impact on us? What if we could learn to expect the unexpected and have tools to make it through? Let’s learn from Joseph.

We are all aware of how busy and distracted life can be. There are hundreds of people, priorities, and pressures competing for our attention every single day. When we look at the ministry of Jesus, we see that despite having limited time and an eternal mission, He consistently slowed down to gather people around tables. Meals became places of connection, formation, restoration, and relationship. T...

Standing tall in your faith looks like fighting temptation, standing up for others, and taking ownership of your decisions. But you don’t have to do these things alone. We weren’t created for isolation. God wants community and friendship so that we can better serve and lead others. When we aren’t alone, it’s easier to stand in our faith.

A woman of God knows WHO she belongs to, WHY she was created, and WHERE her help comes from. She does not have to strive for identity, purpose, or security because they are found in God alone. When she leaves empty idols, misplaced trust and walks in surrender to God, her life becomes a ripple of His love, truth, and faithfulness to the world around her.
