Springwell Sundays

We have a real enemy. He's tricky and never provides any treats. How do we learn to recognize when he's attacking, lying, or tricking? We have to know how he works behind his many masks so we can learn how to not fall for his tricks.

We all have hurts, habits and hang-ups about something. At Springwell, we have a program to help you with yours. Today we will be highlighting the life change that takes place every Thursday night at Celebrate Recovery. Celebrate Recovery isn't just something we do, but a part of who we are. So, join us as we celebrate life change together.

Do you have some disadvantages in your life?  Are you under the impression that your sin has disqualified you from ever being used by God? Your disadvantage is God’s advantage. He makes assets out of our liabilities. All He needs is your full surrender!

Maybe your life hasn't looked like you wished it would. Maybe you feel like injustice and ridicule have been the theme of your life. There's good news! The God we worship doesn't waste a single event, person, or situation. In fact, it's the toughest circumstances that God often uses in the best ways.

Forgotten, left out, wasted. We've all felt that way at one point or another. Maybe you're there now. The good news is, God sees you. It's time for you to see Him too.

Lions have a calculated and unique hunting strategy that can sometimes take hours of patiently waiting for the right time. Why do they go to such extremes?  Because they are hungry!  Hunger and thirst are intense desires.  It is that same intensity that we need in seeking to be near God.

Experts say that for lions, living in a pride makes life easier and hunting as a group means there is a better chance that the lions have food when they need it. Life is better in community. We not only want friends; we need friends, like lions, for survival.

A lion's roar can be heard up to 5 miles away. The roar is in them. They don't earn the roar or even have to try to find it. They just roar. God has created us to be the same way in serving and loving other people. What happens when you begin to start what you're born to do? It changes everything.

We’re talking about worry.  It’s not as if we didn’t already have enough things to worry about before, but now, since the pandemic, our potential for worry has been upped by 100-fold, at least. And worry is one of the tools Satan uses to destroy our faith. Let's wrap up this series with how to hit the CTRL, ALT, DELETE button on bitterness.

Bitterness, whether it is known or unknown, for some of us, is the greatest source of pain in our lives and we may not even know it. We should hit CTRL, ALT, DELETE and get it out of our lives.

We’re going to be talking about some things we need to control…who are we kidding, these are some things we need to totally delete from our lives.  Gossip is one of those things. So, how can we overcome the sin of gossip?  We want to give you 3 questions we have to ask ourselves.

Because our mind is a battlefield, most of life’s battles are won or lost in the mind.  What comes into your mind tends to come out in your life.  If you have a negative mind, it’s almost impossible to have a positive life…it’s a daily battle to win the war against negativity.

What do they really think of me? If I’m not like that, will they still love me? Our fear of others and what they think can cripple our life, but what God thinks of us can bring a whole new meaning.

It’s insurmountable. It feels like it at least. The money is just not enough. The job is just too much. The issues we face are out of our league. Sometimes, the odds just seem stacked against us. How do we overcome the fear of our situation? The answer may be simpler than you think.

When we feel like we don’t have enough, it causes us to act out of fear rather than the strength God has given us. Let’s look at Moses and how his excuses for why he wasn’t enough became what God used in a big way.

I'm just not enough. I don't have what it takes. Our fear of not being equipped or enough for the job can cause us to shrink back and not try at anything. What if, though, God could use the things you think you lack to do more in and through you than you thought?

When work and family collide, you will have some decisions to make. Who or what is going to get your most valuable resource…your time? Have you decided to make a change? Let’s walk through what Daniel did when he found himself in need of a change.

Many of us, if not all of us, wrestle with the tension between work and family. We have to decide what is going to take priority. Giving up good things for the sake of what’s best is not easy, even when we’re convinced it’s right.

Join us Sunday as we talk more about Baptism! We will talk about what it really means and why it is so important. Don’t miss it!

Their life seems easy. The good times seem so good and the bad times seem so few. Your life, though, is tough. You're worried, lying awake at night, and unsure of what God is up to. Why does it feel like your story is so much tougher? Maybe it's because you aren't getting their full story and because yours isn't as hopeless as it seems.

We're tired. So many of us live exhausting lives and can't seem to find what it means to truly rest. Maybe rest is about more than just sleeping in or waiting for your next vacation. Maybe rest is something that Jesus can give us in the best of ways.

Debra Ponder has been a loyal, trustworthy and valued member of the Springwell staff family for many years. We celebrate Debra's retirement together.

He's the God over all. He's the creator and sustainer of all that we see and all that we are. When we get a glimpse of His creation and His character, it causes us to worship Him. It's time for us to look up and worship Him for who He is.

On his way through town, Jesus is interrupted by a woman who is desperate for healing. In the beginning of the story, she is a no-named woman who’s no more than an interruption, but by the end of the story, through her humility, she has been made a daughter.  I guess there are no interruptions with Jesus…we all matter!

Are you a workaholic? You have career potential to fulfill, a spouse to love, a family to raise… And every one of these things has tremendous value in your life.  None of them should be neglected.  So, how in the world do you find the time…the balance…for what’s important?
