Springhill Baptist Church Sermons

What does faithful patience look like as we wait for the return of Christ? In James 5:7–20, James calls believers to patiently endure, remain faithful, and persevere through suffering as they look forward to the Lord’s return. He gives us three examples of patience—the farmer, the prophets, and Job—and reminds us that our words should reflect the character of Christ. As we wait for the Lord, will...

This Sunday, we hear from Pastor Nick, as he shares from Mark 8. He shares the story of Jesus healing the blind man, twice. This passage has some unique and interesting features that show Jesus is more than healing the man, he is working to heal the problem of unbelief within His disciples. 

In this week's sermon, we examine James' stern warning to those consumed by idols. Believers are instructed to not allow earthly things take their focus off of the Lord. 

Where do conflict and division really begin? In James 4:1–8, James reveals that our outward conflicts often begin with an inward war, with ourselves, with others, and ultimately with God. The good news is that God offers grace and a path to peace. As we submit to God, resist the devil, seek Him, and purify our hearts, we can experience the peace that comes from drawing near to Him.

What does true wisdom look like? In James 3:13–18, we see the contrast between worldly wisdom and wisdom from above. Worldly wisdom produces envy, selfish ambition, and disorder, while heavenly wisdom produces purity, peace, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity. What are you sowing? Discover how the wisdom we pursue shapes the fruit our lives produce—and how we can ask God for wisdom, kn...

Can you really tame your tongue? In James 3:1–12, Pastor Jared Proctor challenges us to examine the power of our words and the condition of our hearts. Our tongues can be used to praise God or tear others down, revealing that the real problem isn't simply our speech, it’s our hearts. James points us beyond simply trying harder and toward our need for a new heart, self-control, and the transforming...

What does genuine saving faith look like? In James 2:14–26, James teaches that works never lead to saving faith, but saving faith always produces works. Pastor Jared examines four examples of faith and explains that saving faith is more than words, right theology, or an emotional experience. True faith looks to Jesus, repentance of sin, trust in Christ alone for salvation, and produces fruit.

In 1 Kings 19, we see Elijah wrestling with disappointment and false expectations about how God would work. Pastor Matt Kimbrough challenges us to examine our own expectations of God, remember that He is always at work, even when we don't see it, and keep our focus on Christ. When God doesn't work the way we expect, we can trust that He is still faithful.

In James 2:1–13, Pastor Jared challenges us to examine how we treat the people around us. God calls His people to reject favoritism, see others through the eyes of Christ, and live out the royal law by loving our neighbors as ourselves. Having received God's mercy, may we become people who joyfully extend that same mercy to others.

This week, Pastor Jared uses the illustration of a caper briefing to describe the series of instructions the book of James will go one to lay out in the following chapters. 

God uses trials to grow our faith and shape us into mature followers of Christ. Through James’ words, we learn how to persevere, seek wisdom, walk in faith, and trust God’s work in every season of life.

In this sermon, we consider the conclusion of Jude and its instructions for how we are to fight for our faith, the faith of others, and finally who we are to look to while doing so. Jesus is the author of our faith and the one we contend to be like. 

In this sermon, Pastor Jared concludes our Family VBS weekend by answering three important questions: Who is the Light? Where should the light be found? And why should we shine as followers of Jesus?

In this sermon, we look at the way God deals with the opponents to his mission. And how we are called to be on guard against lies from he enemy and from those trying to dissuade the church.

What does a healthy, gospel-centered church look like? In this message, guest speaker Norm Howell explores Paul's words to the believers in Thessalonica and reveals the blueprint God has given for His Church. As Paul highlights the faith, perseverance, and witness of this young congregation, we discover timeless principles that are just as relevant for the Church today. Join us as we examine God's...

This week we look at the threat to the church of false teachers and divisive people creeping into the church.

As we conclude Philemon - we look at the overall message of restoration and grace on display in this book.

This summer, we will journey through the New Testament letters of James and Jude. In this message, Pastor Jared explores the remarkable transformation of James and Jude, from skeptics of Jesus to faithful servants of Christ. He examines how their doubts were overcome and highlights their powerful call for believers to remain steadfast and contend earnestly for the faith.

In this message, we are called to consider the various ways we can show the kind of grace shown to Onesimus by Paul in the book of Philemon. 

In this passage, Paul shows that true Christian authority is expressed through love, relationship, and gospel-centered appeal. As those united by faith, we are called to trust Christ, forgive as He forgave us, and join His mission of reconciliation.

This week we celebrate our graduating seniors and encourage the youth to step into leadership roles throughout church. This week two graduating youth students prepared sermons to share. Jude Wallace covers the book of Ezra and Carson Trussell teaches from Ecclesiastes. 

In this message, we step into the tension of a church scandal and are reminded that in Christ, we are on the same team, called to gratitude for one another’s faith, love, and the ways we refresh each other’s souls. This message invites us to locate ourselves in the story: Are we peacemakers like Paul, wounded like Philemon, or in need of grace like Onesimus? Ultimately, it calls us to pursue recon...

It is Timothy Sunday! This is our annual Sunday where we highlight developing new leaders and have many elements of our service be lead by people filling new roles for the first time. Tim Anderson, a beloved member of Springhill, delivers a sermon on Luke 15.

Pastor Jared explains that in Ezekiel 8, God pulls back the curtain and gives a sobering vision of what is really happening beneath the surface of His people. What appears outwardly religious is inwardly corrupt. Hidden sin, idolatry, and spiritual compromise have taken root—and God sees it all.

Join us this week as we consider how God has not only saved us from sin, he has also taken our shame. How can we navigate a life filled with shame without Him? Praise the Lord Jesus for He took our shame upon Himself on the cross!
