Wellspring's Podcast

If you ever have felt as though you and your family are too dysfunctional for God to fix, take heart! In this story today we will see an extremely functional God who is continually working behind the scenes to bend everything together for His purpose and for the good of those who love Him. We will look at 4 dysfunctions and talk about the 4 solutions as well as the main solution to everything, namely JESUS!

Forgiveness is so key to a life that is free. It is so key to a life of blessing. Are you struggling with bitterness? Are you still bound up by what people have done to you in the past? In this study we will look at the spiritual application of how we are to live in this world to show the love of Jesus in our world and it all starts with forgiveness.

With all of the things going on in our Country, it seems evident that we are far from where we should be as a nation. What are the things that made America great and how do we ensure that America will be great in the future? The answer is not in politics or the government, but the answer is in us as the church, bending our knees in humility and prayer. Join us in this study lead by Chuck Thornley.

There are times when God forces us to stay where we are in the midst of a drought in order that we may go deeper and find living water. Whenever there is a famine in our spiritual life, it is Gods way of driving us deeper. To the spring of living water. We have to be willing to go deeper than our circumstances. There will always be the temptation to go down to Egypt- which is a type of the world in the Bible) But, don’t go to Egypt- the world has water to offer, but it always comes with a cost. God wants to move us away from relying on the world and move us toward relying more on Him. Join us, as we talk about four principles of a blessed life and discover how to obtain the blessings of God, even in the middle of a famine.

Do you find time and time again- your joy turned to anger? Your love turned to bitterness? Your peace turned to worry? You and I as followers of Jesus have been given a birthright of blessing. That birthright is not only secured for us in heaven, but it is also available to us today, in a spiritual way. Things like love, joy, peace, wisdom. Just like Jacob couldn't take this birthright from Esau, No one can steal this spiritual birthright from us, but just like Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of beans, we can trade our birthright for something far less valuable. We can trade our peace for worry, our love for bitterness. Join us as we discuss the importance of these truths.

Do you ever think that if you just did things the worlds way, you'd get a lot more accomplished? Do you ever feel like it's so much harder to do the things that God is calling you to do? Well, the truth is, it is harder- in fact, it's impossible- that's why the gospel is such good news! Join us in this study as we look at the two approaches to obtaining blessing in our lives.

Why do doors sometimes never seem to open? Why do open doors sometimes slam shut? Why does God sometimes say no to us when we ask for things in prayer? Join us as we conclude our study in chapter 24.

All through out the Bible the relationship between God and His people is illustrated in the allegory of marriage. We as the church are the bride of Christ! Join us as we look at Genesis 24 as a picture of Christ's love and desire for his bride! We will look at 4 things that Jesus wants from us, his bride, as we approach the day that we will see him face to face!

While we may not all be called to be missionaries, we are all called to be on mission. And as followers of Jesus, God has a specific will for us to be on mission. This week we will take a Sunday and talk about the mission trip we took to Haiti and also spend a few minutes in Luke 10 talking about the mission that we are all to be on together in our own towns!

If we are sensing God's leading in our lives, how can we confirm that God is the one leading us? Are there practical steps to take in confirming God's leading for our lives? Join us as we look at 4 practical steps in confirming God's leading in our lives!

How can we be sure that we are praying in the right way? Are there things that can hinder our prayers from being answered? What is the best way to pray for God's leading in our lives? In this study we will look at 4 Key principles to prayer that will ensure that our prayers will be answered and we will be led in the way everlasting.

Join us as we spend some time asking this question: How can I know what God’s specific will is for my life? In this study we will look at five amazing attributes of Rebekah- and see how these attributes put Rebekah on the fast track to discovering God's will for her life.

There are many preachers and Christian leaders today who will tell you that God doesn’t have a specific will for your life. This is utter nonsense. Now, there are also some preachers and teachers that will tell you that God has such a specific will for your life that it would almost seem like God is hiding it from you and the only ones who will ever really discover it, are the super-spiritual ones who really beg God to show them and if your really blessed, then He will…… This too is utter nonsense. So where's the balance in it all? Join us as we spend some time asking this question: How can I know what God’s specific will is for my life? The purpose of this study is not to cause you to freak out about finding God’s will (This is about the life of faith not the life of fear) But the purpose of this study is simply so you would have faith to believe, that as you apply these principles to your life, God will reveal His will, as it unfolds in your life.

Imagine lining up on the battle lines, storming forward ready to fight with everything you have. You leap into the air off your fellow soldiers back and lunge towards the enemy. Reaching to your side you feel helpless, you've left your sword at home on the counter. How can we be prepared for battle if we are not studying and hiding His word in our hearts. Be encouraged God's word is powerful. Take full advantage of the wonderful gift He has given us.

Death is a real thing that we will all have to face. But the question is- How are we to deal with death? As believers, how are we to live in light of death? And also, how do we know for sure where we will go when we die? We will answer these questions as we look at the home-going of Sarah!

Whoever said the Bible is a book made up by humans obviously hasn’t read it. God’s Word is way too intricate and beautiful for it to be a creation of man. If you don’t believe that, than join us today in our study of Genesis chapter 22. Here we will see the fingerprint of God and a beautiful picture of the gospel 2000 years in advance. We will also look how and why God tests our faith through trials as we look at the greatest trial recorded in the Old testament- the "almost" Sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham.

What draws people to Jesus? When people seek him, what should we tell them? What should we point to? Join us this Resurrection Sunday as we learn strait from the lips of Jesus about what the answer is to seeing and knowing Jesus.

Has God done amazing things in your life, and if not have you seen Him do amazing things in the lives of others? See, whenever God does amazing things He always has the world in mind. He wants to encourage everyone's faith. When God makes a promise, He always fulfills it. In this section we will look at 3 specific lessons that we learn from the Promise of God being fulfilled. We will see 1. An Indication of Faith 2. An Insight into the Father 3. An Illustration of the Flesh

Have you ever dreamed of the day when you will finally arrive at a place of complete spiritual perfection? A day when you have no more temptations and struggles. Maybe you hope it will be soon- well not to burst your bubble, but this side of glory, we will never "Arrive". Just like Abraham- 25 years into his walk with the Lord...We will continue to have moments of struggle. But the key is Faith! Faith is like a muscle that we exercise. If we neglect it, it will get weak. If we exercise it, it will get strong.

Ever wonder what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit? This is a teaching from the "Deeper" classes on the different workings of the Holy Spirit- In particularly, the Filling of the Spirit.
