Wellspring Church DFW

This is Pastor Michael's final sermon as the Lead Pastor of Wellspring. In it, he traces how the Book of Matthew employs the name Immanuel-God with us-in the past, present, and future. The message is applicable an individual level, but it also speaks to God's work in Wellspring over the years, and into the future.

In the West, church has become a collection of individuals instead of a family. In this message, Pastor Michael concludes his series in Ephesians by offering five fundamentals for practicing church-as-family. Stay tuned for the end, where he summarizes the entire letter to show how the blessings of the Triune God are enjoyed in the context of church-as-family.

Life change is hard because our battle is not merely against the evil within us, but against supernatural agents outside of us. In this message, Pastor Michael discusses how to stand against the devil so we can walk in holiness, sustaining "life-change" over the long haul.

As they say, "work is a four letter word." Even for those of us who love their jobs-and statistically, most don't- work can be frustrating, and it has been, since sin entered the world and work became toil. In this message, Pastor Michael shares from Ephesians 6 how Christ transforms the work of our hands from mundane to meaningful.

Family life is hard enough as it is. If you add to that an anti-family culture, it's even harder. In this message, Pastor Michael teaches from Ephesians how earthly families can become the counter-cultural expression of our perfect heavenly family.

Do you feel consistently short on time? Most people think that if they can only be more efficient, they will finally have sufficient time. But the problem is spiritual, and what we really need is the Holy Spirit. In this message, Pastor Michael talks about how to manage our time by the Spirit's infilling - Which he is careful to distinguish from "charismaniac" misconceptions.

Darkness reminds us that the world needs light. As Christians, light is not just our environment, but our identity-in the Lord. In this message, Pastor Michael shares how our identity as "light in the Lord" affects our reality in the darkness of this world.

The world has changed so quickly that the church was unprepared for new definitions of marriage, sex, and identity. In this message, Pastor Michael teaches, from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, why these issues are paramount, and how we can articulate God's truth in love.
