Springhouse Worship And Arts Center Sermons

A brief summary of this episode

What does geometry have in common with being born blind? And just what is hubris? These and more questions are addressed in Jesus’ encounter with the man born blind.

Would you believe that the first evangelist to hold a mass outdoor meeting for Christ was a Samaritan woman who had been divorced five times and was living with her boyfriend? Oh, and what are the four most empowering words you can say to someone?

Mary of Bethany offers us several beautiful examples of a life spent at the feet of Christ. Whether approaching Him as a student, to learn of Him, to grow in wisdom and in knowledge, or drawing near in our brokenness in order to lean into Him and draw strength from Him, we see through her life that He is accessible, approachable and is moved by hearts that turn to Him. And knowing this, we find that the perfect and appropriate response to that kind of love, is to lavish our best upon Him. So, join us this week as we learn from, lean into, and lavish upon…. the feet of Christ.

“Born Again?” “Saved?” And just who is Peanut’s mother? You find a lot of mysteries unfolding in Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus.

Hitting the Knuckleball. How did Jesus deal with that stretch where everything seemed to just be coming apart at the seams? He dealt with it the same way we must deal with it. The answer might surprise you.

Occasionally life throws us a curve. Is it real or an illusion? How do you hit a curve? Today we look to see how Jesus hit the curve ball.

A brief summary of this episode

Is Jesus really all that important? OK, them how important is He and why?

You have never heard the story the way you are about to hear it; unless of course, you have heard me tell it. — Joseph the son of David.

“Ghost of the future, I fear you more than any specter I have seen.” We do indeed fear the future, but the only thing absolutely certain about the future is that Christ is coming again. What do we really know about His coming and what will it mean?

Does the Bible tell us to celebrate Christmas? No, but it certainly does tell us a few things about how to celebrate it. Join the Ghost of Christmas Present in learning the secrets of celebrating Christ’s birth in both want and abundance.

A visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past takes us all the way back to Eden to trace the ever-increasing light and anticipation building to the coming of The One.

How does a person who is a reed become a rock? What is the “meh” line? How fast is an electron? Are we trending upward or downward? Boy does this sermon answer a lot of questions.

Meeting Jesus is not the same thing as following Jesus. How do we follow? What to expect when we follow. Why we don’t follow.

What happens when there is a strong calling on your life, but you have too may deep-seated issues to actually fulfill that calling? What we find in the Word is that God, in His mercy, will bring those issues to light so that they can be dealt with and removed, much like chaff from the heart of wheat. One might say, we are sifted toward freedom. So, what are the warning signs that we are heading into a season of sifting, and how do we respond when He lovingly strips away the things we hide behind and reveals our own heart to us? Join us as we take a journey into Simon Peter’s season of sifting and find within it, glimpses of our own undoing.

The book of Daniel is a companion to the New Testament book of Revelation. In this teaching we look at: the power of poetic symbols, evidence for the veracity of a 6th century B.C. authorship, and Daniel’s overview of world events.

In Psalm 57:4, David makes the statement, “I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. Be exalted, O God...”  And as I read these words, I cannot help but wonder how many of you have been in the same situation; contending with people who are on the attack and seem to want nothing more than to hurt you and bring you down. With Daniel serving as the example, we find that there is a way to walk through those seasons and face those situations; to live in such a manner that “the God Whom you serve continually,” will move in and rescue you.    This week we run hard after the God Who is forever Taking Down Lions.

I Am Like Jonah… today’s sermon explores the many ways we are like Jonah in our attempts to run from the Lord. Yet. His call s irrevocable. We can zig and zag and sleep and complain but the call remains.

You know you have been called by God to do something of eternal significance while on this planet. You sense His drawing, but you just cannot seem to make that next move. Is there perhaps a key to getting out of the spiritual rut and beginning to move forward in His plan for your life? “Whom the Lord Has Appointed” offers some insight (from the book of Jeremiah) in how to turn the corner, begin to trust God on a deeper level, and get out of the ditch and into the true work of the Kingdom.
