Springwell Sundays

Have you ever been in a difficult situation where you just knew God could do something about it—but He didn’t—and that confused you? Then you’ll probably relate well to the story of Habakkuk.

The Great Commandment calls us to love God and love others, but Jesus adds a crucial modifier: “as you love yourself,” revealing that we can’t truly love others until we first see and love ourselves as God does. This message emphasizes a divine order—loving God first, which then shapes our identity and enables genuine love for others. When we secure our spiritual “oxygen mask” through a relationsh...

You can say all the right things, do amazing stuff, and even show off your faith—but if love isn’t behind it, it’s just noise. Let's dive into what 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 teaches us about the power of real love, and why it’s the one thing that gives everything else meaning.

Fear is powerful. It can paralyze you, discourage you, and hold you captive at the same time. What can you do to combat fear? You need to remember that you have a creator who knows you, loves you, and holds you with His victorious right hand!

Have you found yourself facing something and said, “God I really don’t understand what’s going on here. You could do something about this, but you’re not and I don’t understand.”  If that’s the way you feel about a situation you’re in right now, then Habakkuk 2 will speak to you. So, let's talk about what you do in the in between time.

When is enough, enough? The illusion of enough is one that so many of us chase after. When I get enough time, enough money, enough confidence, then I’ll be good. What if the truth is, you will never have enough to feel like you’ve arrived. Jesus is our only source of enough.

Perfection seems like an amazing thing. It even feels like the thing we should strive for as believers in Jesus. What happens though, when life doesn’t feel perfect? What happens when we realize we can’t be perfect? The truth is, neither of those will ever come to reality. What can we learn? How do we avoid being blinded by perfection?

We’re all tempted at some point or another. We’re tempted to try to control a situation or the people around us. While it can be tempting, it’s never beneficial. What are the risks when we try to control our lives? What can we do instead? We have to know, it’s out of our control.

To become more like Jesus, we need to spend time with him and seek a relationship with him.  The Holy Spirit works in us, changing our hearts and minds as we behold him.

We’ve been told we have to trust God. Most of us believe we should and probably really want to, but how do we do that? What does a life of trusting God really look like? I may look different than you thought.

None of us like tests. We didn’t like them in school, and the tests we face as adults in life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and even cruel. What if, though, the tests of our faith weren’t God being cruel at all, but actually God showing his goodness and giving us something we can’t get any other way? Because that’s exactly what they are.

Have you ever felt like maybe God broke a promise to you? You made it on the other side of something and thought, “This is it?!” Maybe you had in your mind what he was going to do for you but he didn’t seem to do it. God will often do things we didn’t predict. So, how do you learn to trust him? How do you lean into him and keep believing even when the promise seems slow or even impossible?

Springwell Church was founded almost 30 years ago as a safe place for the broken, hurt, and left out. All of these years later, it continues to be a place for those people to find life in Jesus. One thing is clear, God continues to use Springwell in incredible ways, and, He's just getting started.

Scripture is truly amazing. It has the power to transform our hearts and minds every time we read it. It embodies the truth and reveals God's heart to us.  Some verses seem to speak more loudly than others. Whether it's a verse that comes at just the right time or a verse that connects you to God's heart when you need it most, scripture can literally change our lives.

There are often challenging and desperate times when waiting for change can feel hopeless. We may begin to wonder, "Will this ever get better?" The resurrection of Jesus reminds us that there is hope even when things feel hopeless because Jesus has risen! Hold on, your Sunday is coming!

New seasons of life are tough. On one hand, we often want things to change, on the other, the unknown can be a bit scary. The good news? New seasons don’t have to be dreaded. What if new seasons could serve as a reminder of what God is doing and who he is? Change is coming and 41 is going to be a good one!

It may not be a 9 foot tall giant named Goliath, but we all face something we feel like is bigger than us. We all have people that we feel like have decided to be our enemy. Where do we fight our greatest battles, though? How do we fight the biggest giant in our lives and win?

Are you trying to hold on to faith? Are you beginning to doubt what you’ve been taught about God? Are you confused as to what to pray and where he is? This is a  message about how constant pursuit of an ever present God will lead to what you really always wanted.

When life feels wrecked, if we’re honest, we have a lot of questions for God. We wonder why it happened and what he’s doing as we’re going through it. What if I told you that questions are good, but the right questions are better? What if we could ask the right questions and see that it all happens for a reason?

Peace that surpasses understanding. That’s what the peace of God is. The question is,  what does it feel like? How do we get it? How do we keep it? The truth is, sometimes life has to fall to pieces for us to truly understand peace. Once we get it, though, it makes all the difference.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. The truth? Storms in life happen. They are inevitable. We don’t choose the storm, but we can choose how we prepare for the storms and how we react when  the come. When the seas are stormy, there’s a steadiness that we can hold on to. That’s the God we serve.

Are you waiting on the hand of God to move for you? It’s all about faith.  A kind of faith that believes, even when it does not see, a kind of faith that is persistent, and a faith that is moved and marked by actions. Let's talk about faith.

We all have questions and we all have doubts. We’ve been taught to never question God or God’s ways…but we do question God and His ways.  We’re going to be talking about doubt. You see doubt doesn’t have to be the end of real faith…it can be the beginning.

Jesus asked a man who had lived his whole life without being able to walk, Do you want to be well?  Why would He ask him that?  Was Jesus looking for information? Find out why Jesus asked him this question and why we are being asked this question today.

Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" This might be the most direct, pointed, most critical question of all the questions that He ever asked. So... how do you answer this critical question?
