Springhouse Church Sermons

Why do so many pursue success yet feel unstable or empty, even when surrounded by opportunity and advice? Psalm 1 thrusts us into the tension between worldly counsel and God’s design, challenging our influences and definitions of prosperity.

Pastor Alan reveals how the promises of God are not automatic; they require discernment about where we seek counsel, whose path we stand in, and what we let shape our hearts. With practical stories and probing questions, he unpacks ancient words and contemporary struggles, showing how staying rooted in God’s Word moves us from restlessness to steadfast prosperity that is measured by spiritual fruit that blesses others.

Psalm 1:1-6; Proverbs 6:16-19; Luke 11:10-13; John 3:16; Romans 10:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 5:19-20, Colossians 3:7-9; Hebrews 11:1

• The Blessing of Being “Blessable”: Why prosperity is promised to those who avoid ungodly counsel and delight in God’s instruction.
• The Power of Influence: How what enters our eyes and ears subtly directs our steps toward—or away from—God’s best.
• Rootedness vs. Instability: The warning against becoming like chaff, blown and unsettled, and the practical joy of being deeply planted in Christ.

We often chase peace as mere calm or the absence of conflict, but find ourselves shaken when life upends our fragile security. Isaiah boldly proclaims a peace that is not circumstantial, but deeply relational—a governing presence that steadies us amid chaos.

Pastor Barbie challenges these comfortable notions, revealing that the Prince of Peace offers more than soothing feelings. Drawing from Isaiah 9, the message contrasts the world's circumstantial control with Christ’s unshakable authority. True biblical peace requires submission, honesty, and courage to pursue reconciliation, not just the appearance of harmony.

Psalm 85:10; Isaiah 9:6-7, 26:3; Matthew 10:34; John 14:27; Romans 5:1, 12:18; 1 Corinthians 16:9; Colossians 1:19-20, 3:14-15; Ephesians 4:15; Philippians 2:3, 4:6-7

• Governing vs. Comforting Peace: Biblical peace is not a fleeting feeling but a ruling authority rooted in Christ’s reign.
• Peacemaking vs. Peacekeeping: Authentic peace seeks truth, humility, and love, not just avoiding conflict or settling for superficial unity.
• Submission and Trust: Receiving enduring peace demands surrendering control, trusting in God’s sovereignty even when outcomes are unpredictable.

How can we truly hear and follow Jesus in a world of competing voices and spiritual blindness? The Good Shepherd’s call demands more than acknowledgement. It requires radical obedience and humility in recognizing our ongoing need for grace.

Rooted in John 9–10, Pastor Jonathan explores the deep divide between those who claim to see and those humble enough to admit their blindness. With vivid imagery and personal stories, this message confronts our resistance to spiritual “shearing” and the struggle to trust God’s voice over self-reliance or cultural noise. The difference between the empty rules of the Pharisee and the tender tending of the Shepherd is not just doctrinal but profoundly practical and eternal.

Ezekiel 34:1-11; Matthew 7:1-5, 23:1-4; John 1:35-37, 9:11, 9:17, 9:30-33, 9:35-10:16, 19:14-15; 20:30-31; Acts 26:17-18

• Responding to the Shepherd’s Voice: Only those who know their need and recognize the Shepherd truly follow, while others remain weighed down by sin and pride.
• Blindness and Spiritual Sight: The journey from spiritual blindness to believing worshiper mirrors our lifelong process of surrender and transformation.
• Biblical Discipleship vs. Legalism: True correction flows from compassion and shared need, not self-righteous burdening; we are all beggars in need of the Shepherd’s bread.

00:00:00 | Welcome and Announcements

Pastor Barbie shares what's coming up over the next few weeks.

00:01:37 | Beholding That Moves Us

00:07:22 | Obstacles to True Sight

00:10:05 | Blindness and Ongoing Need

Sheep (and people) persistently require tending and are easily led astray or burdened by sin.

00:17:53 | The Cost and Joy of Following

Obedience is challenged by the allure of other voices and desires; real satisfaction is only found in trusting Jesus.

00:26:21 | Discipleship, Sin, and Community

The dangers of isolation, legalism, and misunderstanding true holiness are addressed, with a call for authentic fellowship.

00:32:17 | The Voice of Compassionate Correction

00:35:21 | Held by the Good Shepherd

Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, lays down His life and unites His flock; our belonging does not rest on self-effort but His grace and sacrifice.

Fixing our gaze is not just a challenge in a scrolling, fractured culture. It's a spiritual battleground with life-altering stakes. As believers, we are called to anchor our hearts on Christ in a world of seemingly endless rubble, lost dreams, distraction, and shifting priorities.

Pastor Barbie shares how our focus shapes our devotion, identity, and capacity for peace. She urges us to move from surviving the ashes to beholding the significance of the cross, the person of Jesus, and the hope that outlives the fleeting trials of today. The secret is not in trying harder but in learning to see again.

Hebrews 12:1-3; Isaiah 26:3, Nehemiah 4:10, Matthew 6:21; John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 4:18

• The Battle for Focus: A distracted heart is easily derailed, but fixing your gaze on Jesus realigns your life and restores your peace.
• From Ashes to Beauty: Even in seasons of loss or failure, God specializes in bringing beauty out of what looks ruined—if we dare to trust Him.
• The Power of Beholding: We become like what we continually behold. True awe, worship, and perseverance come when we stop, see, and savor what God is truly doing.

We all long for belonging, but too often faith communities fracture over personal convictions, preferences, or cultural issues. Ephesians 4:1-6 presents a deeper challenge: What does it actually mean to live a life worthy of God’s call, especially when differences divide us?

Pastor Ronnie reveals that unity is not mere agreement, but a Spirit-built reality marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and radical love. Drawing from the true meaning of “koinonia,” he exposes the limits of outward religion and invites us to cultivate authentic fellowship anchored in Christ. The invitation: check our judgment at the door, bear with one another in love, and experience a kingdom life that brings heaven’s blessings to earth.

Ephesians 4:1-6 (NIV), Colossians 2:2-3 (NIV), John 17:3, 21-23 (NIV), Psalm 133 (NIV), Romans 14 (NIV), 1 Corinthians 13 (NIV), Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV), Proverbs 6:19 (NIV)

• Unity Over Uniformity: Biblical unity does not demand total agreement, but Spirit-empowered connection even amidst sharp differences.
• Essential vs. Important: Distinguishing non-negotiable core truths from personal convictions prevents us from burdening others or fracturing fellowship.
• Practical Kingdom Living: Real Christian maturity means choosing humility, setting our minds on things above, and refusing to pass judgment so Christ’s love shines to the world.

00:00:00 | When God Speaks in Silence

Pastor Barbie describes sacred spaces in worship and invites listeners to seek God’s voice in quiet moments.

00:03:11 | Announcements

00:13:29 | From Outward Rules to Inward Reality

Moving beyond “do nots” to the positive, Spirit-formed life shaped by doing what God calls us to.

00:17:13 | Koinonia: A Deeper Kind of Fellowship

Exploring authentic, Christ-centered community beyond superficial connections or shared interests.

00:22:45 | The Heart of a Life Worthy

Ephesians 4 lays out practical instructions: humility, gentleness, patience, and unity, rather than judgment or division.

Unity is “foolishly underrated” and often sacrificed for lesser concerns, but actually the channel of God’s richest blessings.

00:32:23 | Essential, Important, or Personal?

00:43:29 | Set Your Mind on Things Above

When life grows noisy or uncertain, how does a believer discern the voice of God? Many seek soft guidance, but sometimes God intervenes with a roar -a holy disruption, demanding attention and orienting our hearts.

Drawing from Scripture and practical experience, Pastor Barbie shares how God communicates in both gentle whispers and unignorable roars. Just as a lion’s roar signals presence and authority, God’s voice resonates through creation, convicts without condemning, and assures His people of victory and belonging.

Get ready to tune your spiritual ears not only to the subtle, but also to the powerful moments when God asserts His dominion and calls His family home.

Psalm 2:4, 8:3, 19:1-4; Proverbs 30:30; Isaiah 30:21, 43:1; Amos 3:8; Hosea 11:10; Micah 6:2; Luke 19:40; John 19:30; Romans 1:20, 8:22; Hebrews 5:13; Revelation 5:1-6, 19:6-9a

• 3 Kinds of Roars: Not every roar is the same. Sometimes a roar comforts and sometimes it confronts.
• Distinguishing the Roar: Simple ways to tell apart God’s guidance and the enemy’s guilt; seeing the lion’s roar as a sign, a guide, and care.
• Responding to Authority and Victory: Why God’s authoritative “roar” always leaves space for repentance, comfort, and alignment—and how believers can live from a place of Christ’s finished victory.

00:00:00 | The Faithfulness and Worthiness of God

Declaring God’s unchanging goodness and our sole foundation.

00:02:32 | Learning to Discern His Voice

Hearing God in various ways—even through creation and especially through the Bible.

00:04:05 | God in the Everyday and Creation

God’s fingerprints show up in ordinary moments and the natural world.

00:07:26 | When God Roars Like a Lion

Introducing the scriptural motif of the lion’s roar and its spiritual meaning.

00:10:43 | The Roar as Family Communication

God calls His people into alignment, assurance, and instruction through His voice—just as a lion gathers its pride.

00:17:27 | Dominion, Warning, and Protection

Exploring how God’s roar establishes territory, warns His people, and marks boundaries against spiritual threat.

00:23:33 | The Roar of Final Victory

Victory is not just future but present—Christ’s finished work resonates as a triumphant roar to all who listen.

00:28:19 | Worship and Response

Invitation to worship as the right response to hearing and recognizing God’s powerful, loving voice.

Does knowing about God replace truly knowing Him? Many believers choose security or ritual over a vibrant relationship, mistaking religion for the voice of the Good Shepherd. The ache to recognize God's leading collides with the noise of our instincts, reason, and emotion.

Pastor Ronnie uses John 10 to question common beliefs about being saved. He explains that Jesus' death is more than just escaping hell; it allows us to be close to God. Distilled through vivid personal Through clear personal stories and honest thinking, a key truth comes out: we can't go where we haven't learned to listen, and hearing the Shepherd's voice brings lasting rewards and true peace.way from formulas and toward humble, obedient relationship.

1 Samuel 3:1-21; Psalm 119:10-11; Proverbs 14:12; Isaiah 55:8; Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 25:40 & 45; John 3:16, 10:4-5, 13:34; 17:3; 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

• Why avoiding hell is not the highest reason for salvation: Eternal life is defined by knowing God, not just by living forever or religious activity.
• How to actually discern God’s voice: Listening is a posture cultivated by doing what we already know, not by trusting feelings, instincts, or clever reasoning.
• The weight and joy of obedience: Responding to what God says carries responsibility and reward—hearing leads to following, and following leads to transformation.

00:00:00 | Welcome and Announcements

Barbie Loflin expresses deep gratitude for the spiritual leaders present and introduces the focus on discerning the voice of the Lord.

00:06:21 | What Does It Mean to Be Saved?

00:12:23 | The Value of Hearing God’s Voice

Ronnie Meek explains that knowing and hearing God’s voice is more precious than gold and gives believers confidence and direction for life.

00:23:40 | How NOT to Discern God’s Voice

Ronnie Meek warns against relying on instinct, emotions, or human reasoning to discern God’s voice, reminding listeners these can lead astray.

00:27:31 | How TO Discern God’s Voice

Ronnie Meek encourages cultivating openness, attention, and personal relationship, drawing from biblical examples like Moses, Elijah, and Paul.

00:36:10 | Learning to Hear God’s Voice

You're not alone if you've ever wondered whether God can actually speak to you. Or if you've been anxious because it seems like you can't hear Him.

Pastor Jonathan speaks to the heart of that struggle and reminds us that sometimes the problem isn't that God's not speaking. Or even that we're not listening. But sometimes His voice is drowned out by other voices, pressures, and even well-meaning clichés. But even in that, God can speak to us.

As he explains the temptation of Jesus, you'll understand why knowing, loving, and following what God has said is the best way to hear His voice amid the constant noise.

Deuteronomy 6 & 8; Psalm 91:11-13; Matthew 4:1-11; 27:40; Luke 4:13; 12:38; John 14:26; 1 Corinthians 7:9, 10:12-14; 2 Corinthians 1:8-9; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 22:17

• The Holy Spirit will not lead us in opposition to the words God has breathed out for us.
• Real discernment starts by prioritizing Scripture over feelings or spiritual trends.
• Even sincere believers can miss God’s voice by seeking experiences instead of engaging His Word.
• The enemy often tempts with half-truths, especially when we’re tired, distracted, or suffering.
• Jesus modeled resisting lies by anchoring decisions in what God already said.
• Catchphrase: Christianity Culture can’t give us the long-term sustenance that comes from the truth of God’s Word.

00:00:00 - Welcome and Announcements

Pastor Jonathan shares opportunities to serve in children’s and tech ministry, upcoming baby dedications, baptism signups, and then transitions the community with a prayer rooted in the value of God's word.

00:02:16 - Our Deep Need

It's easy to become discouraged when it seems like God is silent. Pastor Jonathan speaks to the underlying need and the real challenge at hand.

00:04:31 - Roots of Doubt

Wanting signs and feelings might make us feel disappointed in our faith, similar to the Pharisees during Jesus’s time. Simple spiritual phrases can cover up our need for real connection with God’s Word.

00:07:33 - Grounded in Scripture

Even the most persistent believers get distracted or overwhelmed by life. Making time for prayer and Bible reading is the key way we tune into God's voice and clarify what’s truly from Him in a world full of conflicting opinions and temptations.

00:10:29 - Battling Temptation with Truth

Pastor Jonathan explains how the enemy distorts our desires and the Bible. He shows this through Jesus’s temptation in Matthew 4. It is important to test what we hear, feel, and even what others say spiritually against the complete message of God's Word, not against culture or emotions.

00:18:33 - Trusting Through Trials

Christian culture catchphrases and partial truths about God's wishes can confuse us, especially when we face pain. True peace and patience come from studying the Bible with others and seeing challenges as meaningful.

00:28:08 - Satisfied in God

Jesus’s life and sacrifice teach us that true joy and success come from putting God first. It's not about seeking rewards without sacrifices or taking easy routes. We are called to open our hearts, especially when we feel dry, trapped, or spiritually confused.

As believers, we desire a vibrant spiritual life but can find ourselves feeling dry or disconnected. Pastor Wayne shares timeless wisdom about returning to God as your true source. You’ll discover the difference between inherited faith and personal conviction, and why both are important for a healthy walk with God.

You’ll learn about the different kinds of wells we can draw from and the importance of digging wells for future generations. And you’ll also discover why it’s important to recognize when you’ve drifted so that you can take practical steps toward restoration rather than allowing your wells to become polluted through neglect.

Genesis 26:18a; Psalm 51, 63:1, 78:5-7a; Isaiah 12:3-5; Jeremiah 13:11b-13

• True spiritual life comes from God, the fountain of living water.
• Spiritual heritage must be passed down, not ignored or lost.
• Beware of polluted wells and spiritual stagnation.
• Personal responsibility is crucial for spiritual renewal.

00:00:00 - Welcome and Announcements

Welcome. Upcoming baby dedications and Baptism Sunday.

00:02:09 - Introduction

God has a personal word for everyone, regardless of where they are in their faith journey.

00:09:30 - Drawing Water With Joy

The foundational verse, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation,” reveals the essential “bucket” for receiving spiritual refreshment.

00:21:26 - Ancient Wells

Ancient wells carry the historical and doctrinal riches that previous generations have dug for us. It’s important to honor and draw from these established spiritual sources.

00:36:31 - Family Wells

Family wells represent the faith traditions and resources available within your family and church community, lovingly stewarded and personalized for your current context.

00:41:39 - Personal Wells

Personal wells are the ones we dig as we take responsibility for our faith and learn to dig through personal experience, discipline, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

00:46:38 - Polluted Wells

Without care, our wells can become polluted and these wells carry tremendous risk. We must be careful to avoid contamination through outside influence or neglect. Once contaminated, we need to avoid the wells that no longer bring life.

00:49:07 - The Source of Living Waters

The true source of all spiritual life is God Himself. He is the fountain of living waters and that staying connected to Him is essential for ongoing renewal.

We all go through dry spells in faith. The times when habits, old stories, or even serving at a church just aren’t enough. The truth is, they're never enough, and you'll only find yourself still thirsty and empty by Monday.

That's because, as Pastor Justin reminds us, this thirst can only be quenched by the living water from Christ Himself. The real satisfaction isn’t found in checking boxes or just receiving a dose of encouragement once a week; it comes from seeking Him as your constant source day after day.

Jeremiah 2:1-13; 29:11; Matthew 5:6; John 7:1-6, 7:37-39; Galatians 5:1; Ephesians 2:6; Hebrews 11:6

• True spiritual satisfaction only comes through an ongoing, authentic thirst for Jesus.
• Routines, good deeds, and temporary pleasures never truly satisfy. Only Jesus truly fills us.
• To be sustained, we need to be filled daily, not just once a week or on special occasions.
• Fixing dryness means returning to the source, letting go of DIY solutions, and boldly trusting Jesus to overflow through you.
• Passing down faith to family and community requires modeling daily dependence, not just knowledge or activity.

00:00:00 - Welcome and Announcements

Pastor Barbie welcomes everyone and gives updates on baby dedications and upcoming baptisms.

00:03:22 - More Than Proximity

When you're dry, simply being around spiritual things isn't enough. There's a real thirst that only Jesus can satisfy.

00:05:01 - Encountering Jesus at the Feast

What Jesus said carried incredible meaning for those who heard it. Pastor Justin shares about the significance of the festival, what it foreshadowed, and what people would have heard when He invited a dry, divided crowd to receive living water.

00:16:27 - Full, Filled, and Overflowing

Full, filled, and overflowing mean different things. The goal isn't simply to be full, but to be completely dependent on the source and then overflow.

00:33:03 - When Routine Becomes Religion

Like Israel, we can often quickly forget God's previous provision and abandon Him as the source. When we do, we find spiritual emptiness and cycles of captivity.

00:46:19 - Identity, Belief, and the True Well

Faith isn't about behavior modification. It's about continual trust and returning to Jesus so that we can move from dryness to becoming an active well for others.
