Living Spring Podcast

We often find ourselves trying to stay within our comfort zones. This week, we discuss how the Apostles exemplified the saying, 'If you want the glory of the Gospel, you must be comfortable with the grievances of the Gospel.

Today’s culture has migrated to outrage and picking a “side”. That is not the heart of our Heavenly Father. This Father’s Day, Pastor John talks about how our Father commands us to not declare something unclean that He has made clean, including ourselves.

Persecution is depicted in the Bible as a catalyst to spreading the Gospel, as the apostles and early Christians endured suffering with unwavering faith, turning trials into opportunities to witness for Christ. This steadfastness in the face of adversity not only strengthens our resolve but also serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

We are the hands and feet of Jesus. We are al called to serving in the body of Christ no matter how small the contribution may be. This week, we talk about how the early church found those within their own gathering to help with tasks needing to be done. You too, are called to service with our God given talents. What might that look like for you?

This week we talk about how the early Christians devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, and forming a loving and generous community that met everyone's needs. How might our lives be transformed for the better if we followed the early church’s example?

Acts Of The Apostles

Jesus promised that it would be better for the disciples when He left. That sounds crazy but it’s true. In this series on the book of Acts we see how the Church was born and what impact it has on our lives.

How could it be better if Jesus left? Jesus told the disciples when he left the Father would send the Holy Spirit who would teach us all things and remind us of everything that Jesus said to us. This week, Pastor John talks about hearing from the Holy Spirit.

This Mother’s Day, we talk about how the hardest situations we can encounter can be overcome with relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. Too often we rely on our own strength and put more pressure on ourselves than is necessary.

Jesus tells us in his Sermon on The Mount that we are the salt of the earth. By doing this, we as followers of Jesus, play an important role in bringing flavor and preservation to the world. This week, Pastor John talks about how just simply sharing our story with others can accomplish this.

The ascension of Jesus is a weird and little understood story in the Book of Acts. But a closer look at how the disciples understand the ascension helps us realize a major element of the resurrection’s power in our lives.

We all want to hear from God from time to time. Should I take this job? Should I get in or out of a relationship? The Holy Spirit is to guide us into all truth but do we ever really hear from Him? It turns out that we do. Quite a bit. This week we talk about how that usually works.
