Springwell Sundays

Fear is powerful. It can paralyze you, discourage you, and hold you captive at the same time. What can you do to combat fear? You need to remember that you have a creator who knows you, loves you, and holds you with His victorious right hand!

Have you found yourself facing something and said, “God I really don’t understand what’s going on here. You could do something about this, but you’re not and I don’t understand.”  If that’s the way you feel about a situation you’re in right now, then Habakkuk 2 will speak to you. So, let's talk about what you do in the in between time.

When is enough, enough? The illusion of enough is one that so many of us chase after. When I get enough time, enough money, enough confidence, then I’ll be good. What if the truth is, you will never have enough to feel like you’ve arrived. Jesus is our only source of enough.

Perfection seems like an amazing thing. It even feels like the thing we should strive for as believers in Jesus. What happens though, when life doesn’t feel perfect? What happens when we realize we can’t be perfect? The truth is, neither of those will ever come to reality. What can we learn? How do we avoid being blinded by perfection?

We’re all tempted at some point or another. We’re tempted to try to control a situation or the people around us. While it can be tempting, it’s never beneficial. What are the risks when we try to control our lives? What can we do instead? We have to know, it’s out of our control.

To become more like Jesus, we need to spend time with him and seek a relationship with him.  The Holy Spirit works in us, changing our hearts and minds as we behold him.

We’ve been told we have to trust God. Most of us believe we should and probably really want to, but how do we do that? What does a life of trusting God really look like? I may look different than you thought.

None of us like tests. We didn’t like them in school, and the tests we face as adults in life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and even cruel. What if, though, the tests of our faith weren’t God being cruel at all, but actually God showing his goodness and giving us something we can’t get any other way? Because that’s exactly what they are.

Have you ever felt like maybe God broke a promise to you? You made it on the other side of something and thought, “This is it?!” Maybe you had in your mind what he was going to do for you but he didn’t seem to do it. God will often do things we didn’t predict. So, how do you learn to trust him? How do you lean into him and keep believing even when the promise seems slow or even impossible?

Springwell Church was founded almost 30 years ago as a safe place for the broken, hurt, and left out. All of these years later, it continues to be a place for those people to find life in Jesus. One thing is clear, God continues to use Springwell in incredible ways, and, He's just getting started.
