Living Spring Podcast

Too often we can think to ourselves that it’s just too hard to get started with changing something in our lives that we know needs changing. It starts with small steps toward a bigger goal in mind. This week, Pastor John talks about taking those smaller steps that will lead to a better “future you”.

“I want to be healthy”. But what’s healthy? “I want to be rich” But what’s rich? “I have so much to change”. Where do you start? In this sermon, Pastor John talks about why it’s essential to start with truth. When you start with truth, you end in health.

Paul tells us to pray. Continually, always, in all situations, are all some of the when and where we should pray in our lives. This week, we conclude the series of the Armor of God where Paul finishes Ephesians 6:10-18 with “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

A sword is only effective if you know how to use it. This week, Pastor Reed talks about five principles for using the word of God well.

This week we continue our series The Armor Of God with the Helmet Of Salvation. Pastor John talks about what it means to continue working out our salvation.

Paul encourages us to be ready with the gospel of peace. This sermon explores what the gospel of peace is and some ways to embody it in our lives!

Faith is about our motions, not our emotions. It is how we advance ourselves forward in the face of uncertainty. In Hebrews it is stated “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. This week, Pastor John talks about how faith can carry us into and through the unknown in this life.

Paul instructed the church of Ephesus to put on the full armor of God. One of those components is the breastplate of righteousness. As followers of Jesus, we are called to put off our old selves and put on the new. This week, Pastor John talks about what that looks like for our lives today.

If you have ever been to a gym or have taken your health seriously you have heard the term “strengthen your core.” That’s because we know that no matter what part of our body is strong, we are prone to injury if our core is not strengthened. This week we talk about the “belt of truth” and how truth is the what the rest of the armor depends on. A life not based on truth only hurts us in the end. d in the most unlikely of ways to do the most unlikely of things. 

By spending a little more time in the themes and details of the Gospel of Luke, we get a fresh look at the well-known story of Zacchaeus.

Come and see! These are powerful words we can use to invite others to get to know Jesus for themselves. A Jesus that knows us better than we know ourselves.

This week, we welcome Pastor Terry Beasley to Living Spring who brings a message of how obedience to God will have his promises take care of themselves. However hard it may be to understand what God is asking of us, we have a way of “helping” God which ultimately gets in the way of letting God be God.

Many times God does miraculous things in our lives. For a while we are in a state of awe and wonder. But often times we get so focused on the miracle that we lose sight of the Miracle Maker. This week we talk about how Gideon got distracted by the works of God and missed the character of God.

It’s often hard to understand where God wants us to go next. We want to put out some type of test to see if we are on the right track. Today we talk about Gideon and how put out a test. The problem was that he was actually testing Gods character, not seeking clarity.

Have you ever been asked to do something so simple by someone, only to discount its importance, and later find out the significance of that simple request? This week Pastor John continues our series examining Gideon’s call story and journey where he didn’t believe in himself, but the Lord did.

Sometimes in life we can get so focused on our circumstances that we miss the voice of God giving us hope. This week we look at Gideon and how God interrupts him in the midst of his uncertainty and calls him to something much bigger than he could ever imagine.

So many times we find ourselves full before the good stuff shows up at the table. Whether we were snacking all day or just couldn’t wait. The Lord has prepared a table for us and if we can just wait on Him for even just a little bit, the goodness He gives to us is more than worth the wait.

Too often we believe the lie that we are not able to receive His blessing and grace because of our sinful nature. The truth is, we do fall short, but He has provided us a way to be blessed with forgiveness by His Grace.

We all have certain strongholds in our lives that we battle with. Maybe it’s addiction, anger, lust, fear, or insert your struggle here. The apostle Paul tells us we are to take our thoughts captive and make them obedient to Christ. This week Pastor John talks about how this Devine weapon can help us in our walk of life with Jesus.

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we can all agree that there is a tension between what we know what we want to do with our lives and what we actually do. In almost every area of our lives we live in this tension. This week we talk about why that is and a very practical way to move the needle towards what we know we should do.
