Act 12:25–13:3 Have you ever had a moment when you needed God to speak to you? We all have, and often we are in a moment of crisis and are so desperate we can't hear because of the circumstantial noise. We are often reacting in hurt or confusion instead of acting with intentionality as we hear from God. Slow down, breathe, trust, and pray. But have you ever had one of those moments where you knew...

Have you ever met someone that was so full of themself that they sucked the air out of a room? Everything for them is well, about them and "their opinions" and "their accomplishment" that they feel everyone must highly respect.            Pride is a sin of attitude, heart, and spirit, much like covetousness. (See Romans 7:1ff.) Now, pride can be reasonable or justifiable self-respect, like taking...

Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? Well, consider this for a moment if you would; the Bible says in Romans 3:10-12, As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one.” (Also see Psalm 14:1–3;...

Jesus said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Mt 28:18–20. Because of this, it is important to note we are n...

I do not think we realize how close we came to the early Church; the body of loyal disciples came to become another Jewish sect. By the way, there were a lot of them. We are only familiar with a handful of the seventy or so in the first century in our New Testament studies. So, the gospel being confirmed and witnessed so clearly by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Samaritan in Acts 8 and...

Come join us this weekend at watersprings as we dive into God’s Word. We will be in Matthew 25:1-13 learning about the parable of the 10 virgins! Hope to see you there. Maranatha Lord Jesus!

How have you ever heard someone say that someone needs to, "Step up to the plate!" This is a literal statement from baseball because you can't hit the ball unless you step up to the plate and take your shot! It has also become an idiomatic expression that means taking initiative and responsibility for behaviors or challenges. Paul writes, in Galatians 6:4-5, "But let each one examine his own work,...

Have you ever considered not only what you believe, but also why you believe what you believe? Tonight we will look into the necessity of understanding your worldview, the questions that are absolutely necessary to ask and answer in order to better understand why you believe what you believe.

Hosea 11:1-9 God in the Old Testament is often misunderstood. Many believe the God of the Old Testament is an angry and mean God as opposed to the New Testament God who is loving and forgiving. But the God of the Old is the same God found in the New. God doesn’t change. God’s love and forgiveness are demonstrated in both Testaments and they’re the same. Come this weekend and hear Pastor Tim unpack...

Acts 10:9-48 Did you know that God keeps all His promises? "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." (2 Corinthians 1:20). God promised that He would send a deliverer, and He did. Jesus came to save all of us! God's plan of redemption is for all His creations, which are also waiting for the return of Jesus. (See Romans 8:19-23) But to us, Jesus...

Acts 10:17-28 You and I are commanded by God to go into all the world and make disciples. (See Matthew 28:18 -20) This assumes we will, in the power of the Holy Spirit, come into contact with all the ethnic cultures of the world. (See Acts 1:8) However, this was not the default thinking of the early church leaders. They were surprised when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Samaritans. Now, aft...

Why does it seem so hard to do things the way God instructs us to? He has made it clear, right? He has given all of creation His general revelation. That is God’s self-disclosure and self-communication in the universe and created world and reigns as King of all. (See Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20) In other words, creation itself declares God exists. Humanity's moral code is part of our designs. But Go...

One of the most profound forms of hypocrisy is when our external facade, the image we project to the world, starkly contrasts with our internal reality. We meticulously polish our words and actions to appear as devout Christians, yet our minds are often filled with thoughts that lead to secretive, ungodly behavior. This discrepancy between our public image and our private thoughts is a form of hyp...

In the New Testament, persecution of Disciples was never, always, and everywhere. There were pockets and seasons just like in the world today. Therefore, we should remember to pray for those believers who are suffering for their faith even as we gather for worship week by week. In Hebrews 13:3, we are urged to ‘Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yours...
