Watersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastThe Tipping Point: The Paradigm Shift - Part 1 Why does it seem so hard to do things the way God instructs us to? He has made it clear, right? He has given all of creation His general revelation. That is God’s self-disclosure and self-communication in the universe and created world and reigns as King of all. (See Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20) In other words, creation itself declares God exists. Humanity's moral code is part of our designs.But God has also given us Special Revelation. Special revelation is when God reveals Himself through miraculous means. These include God's physical appearance, dreams, visions, th...2024-05-1950 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastV-Day Romans 8-----Call us: 208.524.4747prayer@watersprings.netOnline Giving: https://watersprings.net/give.phpServe at Watersprings: https://watersprings.churchcenter.com...CCLI Streaming License: 20080252 Size ECCLI Copyright License: 1406906 Size FDISCLAIMER: Closed captioning and/or transcription is being provided solely for the convenience of our viewers.

One of the most profound forms of hypocrisy is when our external facade, the image we project to the world, starkly contrasts with our internal reality. We meticulously polish our words and actions to appear as devout Christians, yet our minds are often filled with thoughts that lead to secretive, ungodly behavior. This discrepancy between our public image and our private thoughts is a form of hypocrisy that Jesus Himself warned against.Jesus said, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

There were pockets and seasons just like in the world today. Therefore, we should remember to pray for those believers who are suffering for their faith even as we gather for worship week by week. In Hebrews 13:3, we are urged to ‘Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.’ This underscores the unity of the Body of Christ, the universal church composed of all Jesus's loyal disciples, who are bound together...2024-05-0549 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastWhy Did it Have to be Snakes Exodus 6:28-7:13-----Call us: 208.524.4747prayer@watersprings.netOnline Giving: https://watersprings.net/give.phpServe at Watersprings: https://watersprings.churchcenter.com...CCLI Streaming License: 20080252 Size ECCLI Copyright License: 1406906 Size FDISCLAIMER: Closed captioning and/or transcription is being provided solely for the convenience of our viewers.

But after his debilitating encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, things for Saul changed. They will continue to change as Saul is more and more conformed to the image of Jesus as a disciple. The Holy Spirit will fill and empower him for his new life.Like many of us, Paul carried the scars and baggage of his old life, a life that was a far cry from the faithful disciple he was becoming.

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matthew 7:21–23) This shows us that everything about showing an outwar...2024-04-2143 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastGod Sees Broken People Exodus 6-----Call us: 208.524.4747prayer@watersprings.netOnline Giving: https://watersprings.net/give.phpServe at Watersprings: https://watersprings.churchcenter.com...CCLI Streaming License: 20080252 Size ECCLI Copyright License: 1406906 Size FDISCLAIMER: Closed captioning and/or transcription is being provided solely for the convenience of our viewers.

This fantastic event means so much to Christians as we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus this coming weekend. But have you ever wondered what let up to sure an exuberant celebration of Jesus? The adoration of Jesus and confession that He is the Christ was so great that the religious leader of Jesus Day asked Him to stop the disciple's declaration of who He was. Of course, He did not respond to their request, and they hated Him for it.-----2024-03-2449 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastWhen the Right Brings a Bloodbath This evening, we conclude a series of studies through the book of Judges. This is, no doubt, one of the most bizarre, difficult-to-understand, not child-friendly passages of Scripture. This portion of Scripture could easily be rated a strong R or even NC-17. Bible commentator F.B. Meyer said it was so distasteful, he cautioned people about reading it. And it all takes place because there was no king at this time in Israel; no godly leadership, no order. When there is a vacuum of godly leadership, there is confusion. The people were left to do that which was right...2024-03-2046 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastAn Unworthy Warrior Tim and Sherry Rupp will be presenting their ministry the “Strong Blue Line" to Law Enforcement Officers.

However, we are, in our humanity, predisposed to rebel against God. The sinful nature within us wants to rule. Saul was no different, and he would later admit that he went too far in his religious zeal. Many Christians fled Jerusalem when persecution began after Stephen’s death, seeking refuge in other cities and countries. Saul was tracking them down without apology or remorse for the families he was destroy...2024-03-1054 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastExcuses Excuses It is said in Numbers 12:3, "Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth." But even in his humility, this does not mean he was in some way without error. God calls him out, and he pushes back, giving the LORD God several excuses. It seems foolish to fight God, but a few men in the Bible do.

How far would you go to save a life? What would you give us for others to know the hope of Jesus? Do we sing with integrity, "I surrender all," or would it be more honest to sing "I surrender some."Is there anything more important than God in your life? I hope not. But are there things that distract you from fully following Jesus in complete abandon? Probably.

You might say that life is a proving ground where God daily prepares us for what He has prepared for us."For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Tragedy in our lives can change everything we know and depend on. As we have seen in our modern world, it does not take much to unravel the usual and mundane day-to-day and replace it with panic and chaos overnight.Stephen’s death was not in vain in God’s eyes. It is the tipping point of the New Testament, and God uses all these things for His sovereign purpose. As you can imagine, the warfare gets quite brutal as the Gospel goes out into the communities surrounding Jerusalem and beyond. We see not only...2024-02-1851 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastNew Life in the Desert Have you ever thought you knew God's plan for your life, only to have everything change? Me too!Thank God for the kindness of friends, family, and even strangers when life comes crashing down. We make plans and often have great hope for the future, but in reality, we can only experience the present, and life in the present sure has a way of shattering our hopes and dreams. (I am looking forward to Heaven.) Things often do not work out how we plan them, and those disappointments can be heart-wrenching and defeating. 2024-02-1448 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastThe Tipping Point We all have a tipping point. A moment where a choice will be made and culture changes. Malcolm Gladwell defines a tipping point as "the moment of critical mass, the threshold, or the boiling point." The world is more fragile than we think, and so are most people. Pushing a group or person over the edge of sanity or reasonable behavior does not take much today, especially when most people are on the edge of a break anyway while others are just looking for a reason to start a fight. The problem is the crowd can push u...2024-02-1148 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastTrusting God in a Broken Culture - Part 2 We cannot always trust what we see and hear in the headlines or social media.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the world, we can have confidence in our God to meet us in our greatest hours of need.

If God revealed Himself to you in fire, smoke, lightning, and thunder, and miracles beyond our human comprehension, would you choose to be loyal to Him then? Is that what it would take for you to believe? What if His voice thundered from the sky so you and all around you heard His words of love, grace, and the terms of relationship with Him?

That reality is beyond our finite comprehension and ability to understand in its divine fullness. We often try to dive into the depths of God's love, but we will need to come up for air in the end.

I think if you're afraid of God, you want to avoid Him, and the thought of Him brings negative emotions and feelings of dread. For example, Revelation 6:15–17 says, "And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him...2024-01-2436 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastHistory of Deliverance Rejected Have you ever wondered why the Bible is written the way it is? I mean, it does show the ugly side of humanity and the tragic cost of sin and rebellion against our Creator God. It also shows us how loving, merciful, and gracious our God is. Well, in some ways, the Apostle Paul answers that when he writes, "Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come." (1 Corinthians 10:11)Paul also writes to the Christians in Rome, saying, "...2024-01-2152 minWatersprings Church PodcastWatersprings Church PodcastA Healthy Fear of God I would argue that there is a difference between a healthy fear of God and being afraid of God.

You and I see, hear, and experience the effects of man's depravity all the time. So, how do we answer evil? Before we venture down this road, I would like to point out that evil is irrational.

This is more difficult if you are in multiple parties with the same people, so be careful. Other times, someone was well-intentioned with a gift but missed the mark for us, so we passed it on to others. But as Christians, we have the greatest gift of all we are to be giving away every day—the hope of the Gospel.
