Springhouse Worship And Arts Center Sermons

The start of a new year always brings the sentence, “This year I’m going to…..”  There are many of these we utter, lose weight, journal, spend more time with my spouse, get organized….  Pastor Kevin hits on another one that you’ve probably uttered, “Read my Bible”.  But there are many things that distract us from this and there is a deeper issue involved.

For the fourth message of the Advent Season, Pastor Ronnie looks to the story of Mary and what it reveals about God’s extraordinary use of the ordinary. He also revealed that we too, like Mary, have been given a new life because we have found favor with the Holy Spirit.

While exploring one of the most recognized stories surrounding Christ’s birth, Pastor Ronnie shows us that worship is far more than singing songs in Church. Whether it is following a star for 700 miles, getting in your car on a Sunday Morning or managing your work well, worship is an act of obedience that is always beyond what we realize.

For the second week of Advent, Pastor Ronnie explores the future: that Christ really is coming again. This message highlights the magnificence and joy of the creation of a “new heavens and new earth,” the important “dynamic in the waiting,” and how to understand the patient heart of God.

The realm of intellect was never designed to figure out the infinite! This eloquent sermon by special speaker, Pastor Cleopas Chitapa, who came all the way from Zimbabwe, Africa, will both bless you and remind you what it truly means to have faith.

For the first week of Advent, Pastor Ronnie Meek encourages the faithful to put their faith into action this holiday season. Instead of getting caught up in a season of getting, get caught up in loving your fellow-man by seeing them as God does and share the best news they will ever hear: Jesus loves them.

Barbie Loflin shares her personal testimony of who Jesus has been, is, and will always be to her (and for us, if we’ll let him.)

A brief summary of this episode

Pastor Ronnie Meek takes a shallow look at Jesus in Revelation concluding that too often we try to go deep with this book and miss the obvious: Revelation is about Jesus.

Isaac Meek, Youth Pastor, shares a timely message rejecting the culture of criticism that pervades society and calls believers to become builders through intentional encouragement.

Are you wealthy? This teaching by Pastor Bruce Coble on Colossians 3:1-4 describes what God says about the true definition of wealth. Listen and be encouraged not to look down on material things, but to look above. This is the Christ who says, “The more you learn of Me, the wealthier you become.”

Judgement: to form an opinion based on what you see, and then give voice to it. In this heartfelt message, listen to Pastor Barbie Loflin explain how you can move from judgement to discernment, and through this shift in perception, become the one to give hope to the world of people around you who desperately need the love that you can show them.

Did you know that “faith” is mentioned over 225 times in the New Testament? In this sermon, primarily based out of Luke 17:5-6, Pastor Ronnie expounds on a key principle of faith Jesus taught us: the amount of faith we have doesn’t matter! Also, listen carefully as he discusses why faith doesn’t always seem to work…

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…” (Galatians 5:1) In this message, Pastor Ronnie eloquently speaks about how Jesus taught freedom in the Bible. Learn how freedom isn’t free, or just might be!

Ever wondered what the difference between tithing and giving is? Well you won’t have to wonder anymore! Listen as Pastor Ronnie offers a Biblical foundation on handling finances in a way that glorifies God and brings blessing.

Even difficult times can be blessed when we walk through them with Jesus, obedient to his will. Listen as Pastor Ronnie shares a few stories of God’s faithfulness and offers solid Biblical teaching on tithing. You’ll learn about how our giving is in response to God’s great faithfulness and even walk away with a few “quotable quotes.”

There is likely no prayer in the Bible that has been given more attention than the Lord’s Prayer. In this week’s lesson, Pastor Barbie discussed some of her own struggles with the Lord’s Prayer as she was growing and maturing in the Lord. In her characteristic (and often hilarious) manner, she delivers a powerful message that will breathe new life and relationship into a prayer that has been so often reduced to a formula.

The Lord’s Prayer…wait, not the one you’re thinking of. That, as Pastor Ronnie explains, might be better titled “The Disciples’ Prayer”—a blueprint for how we should pray. This one in John 17 is the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in scripture, and it reveals key attributes about His character and His desires for the church.

Ever just stop talking or stop listening to someone? Does wonders for a relationship, right? The same principle applies to prayer. Pastor Ronnie explains to us our leaning toward silence rooted in Adam and Eve’s fall and how we can restore communication with God in our daily lives.
