Springwell Sundays

In the Bible, God would speak to Moses in the same way someone speaks to a friend. They even had a tent that they would spend time together in as they talked. There is a benefit to having a special place to pray and be alone with God. Today, we all need a place to be still and be with God.

If we want to hear the voice of God, being in His Word is key.  Sometimes it convicts us of sin.  His Word clearly says, “Don’t do that.” or “Do this.”  Other times, His word leads and directs but you have to read His Word to hear His gentle whisper.

When our lives get loud we lose our sense of balance.  We get uneasy and start to stumble. We lose our ability to hear the whisper of God’s voice telling us that He loves us.  If you want to hear the heart of God, silence is key. Being still in the presence of God is the difference between sight and insight.  It’s the difference between happiness and joy.

As believers, we have a call to share the message of Christ. We have a call to plant the seed, but God is the one who makes the seed grow. Are you trying to do God's part in it all? You are the planter, let God grow it.

Where do you run when life begins to be trouble? Where do you turn when something dies in your life. We can see the pain pay off or we can waste it. Where we go during these difficult times means everything.

Marriage is not easy and there are many factors that make it difficult. The culture we live in soaks into everything around us. Adversity and crisis occur in every relationship. If your life is not on a solid foundation, how can your marriage be?

Actions become traditions after a period of repeating them time and time again. How do you build the right traditions? You do it by having the right motives and the right attitudes. No matter what type of family you're a part of, it's important that you guard the attitudes because they will lead to traditions... good or bad.

Marriage is a dance. Is yours more like The Hokey Pokey than The Tango? It can’t be left up to chance. There are a set of Biblical dance steps for husbands and wives that will help bring the sizzle back into your relationship. The key to a great relationship with your spouse is really a great relationship with your Creator.

Have you ever had a prayer go unanswered? Have you ever been hurt by a Christ-follower not acting very Christ-like? Do you have more questions about faith than answers? The good news is that Christian faith doesn’t rest on these things. Our hope in Jesus is based on just one thing - the resurrection.

Why do we do what we do? Often times, the reasons we give for doing certain things or acting a certain way aren't the true reasons. Jesus said that it's not about all the other stuff. The root of what God wants from us doesn't revolve around what we do, but how we love. The essence of all God wants from us comes down to this one thing.
