Cain and Abel

Cain and Abel
Real death is separation from God, the source of joy and love. The “Way of Cain”—following our own path—leads to death. God offers the true way.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 3:21, 4:1-9; Leviticus 17:11; Psalm 16:11; Proverbs 13:12, 16:25; Matthew 10:29; John 1:29, 10:1, 14:6; 2 Timothy 2:23; Jude 1:11; Revelation 5:1-7Key InsightsNot every question needs an answer.Separation from God came because we hid from God.Following our own paths for gain or fame leads us away from God’s will.Cain knew what was required, but thought he had a better idea.The best we have is never enough.Christ’s perfect sacrifice creates the way back to God and eternal life.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

The Fall

The Fall
Sin fractures relationships, but God’s first response is pursuit, not punishment. Step toward the perfect love and restoration that he's provided through Christ!Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 3:1-24; Psalm 139:23-24; Romans 3:23, 12:2, 12:10; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 4:18Key InsightsSin always leads to destruction.Sin didn’t just usher in bad actions; it also caused us to question every person and relationship because we are all tainted by sin.The residue of our sin is always apparent, sometimes to everyone else even if it’s not apparent to us.Sin fractures our relationship with God.God’s first response to sin was pursuit, not punishment.Sin fractures our relationship with one another.Sin fractures our relationship with ourselves.Renewing our minds is possible and it’s a daily task.Hiding from God deepens the pain. Stepping towards God is a move begins the healing.God’s responses are always fueled by perfect love.God has a redemptive plan for your life.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

The Greatest Stories Ever Told
Do you ever wonder where your story fits? God’s story brings light, life, and redemption. It’s about Him, and you are uniquely made for His purpose.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 1:3; Psalm 139:13-14; John 3:30; Romans 1:16, 6:23, 12:4-5; 2 Corinthians 5:17-19Key InsightsYou are a part of the greatest story ever told.Because of Jesus, you are a new creation.There are no insignificant players in God’s story.God’s intention was for us to commune with Him forever, but we broke that because of sin.Yours is an important story, but it’s not the only story.We need to step out of the spotlight.Our stories are connected.There are no hidden figures in God’s story.While our sins are forgiven, we can’t forget about those affected by our sins.When we get small, He gets big.The entire story can be summed up with, “Let there be light.”“Your life as a Christian should make non-believers question their disbelief in God.” - Dietrich BonhoefferAbout SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

It’s showing up on the regular days.You can only fake it for so long before you fall asleep.The Holy Spirit empowers us to become better equipped to advance the Gospel and make disciples.Whenever we are tired, the Holy Sprit will bring us back to the cross.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

Everything should point to the main thing.Then you think about the upcoming election, does it cause peace and joy or does it cause anxiety, fear, or anger?The resurrection of Christ changes everything.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

What Do You Do When You Want to Throw In the Towel?

What Do You Do When You Want to Throw In the Towel?
We live in a culture where quitting is often a badge of honor. But what if God is calling you to stay. Listen as Pastor Kevin shares what to do when you want to throw in the towel.Scriptures Referenced1 Samuel 15:22; Acts 18:1-11; Romans 11:29, 12:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:18; James 1:2-3Key InsightsWe live in a society where quitting has become a badge of honor.The foundational question to answer about starting, continuing, or quitting something is, “Am I called?”You may have many to love, but you only have One to please.The CALL should be the primary factor in whether you stay or whether you go.When it comes to God’s call, you won’t have to make it happen.The Holy Spirit will lead you if you let Him.Walking out on what you’re called to do not only hurts you - it hurts others.When we throw in the towel, we’re left empty-handed.If you’re going to leave, leave with a blessing.You can’t mess up God’s plan.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

Glory to God
Serving obediently, with humility and love builds God's Kingdom. Kevin O'Dea shares stories of dedication and the eternal impacts of everyday acts of faith.Scriptures Referenced1 Samuel 8:4-7; Matthew:6:1, 10:32, 16:26-27; Acts 12:20-23, 13:42-46, 14:8-20; Romans 6:20-23; Philippians 2:5-10; Hebrews 11:6; James 1:17, 4:10; Revelation 22:12-13Key InsightsBecoming like Jesus will do more to bring people to Jesus than any program or event.When something extraordinary happens, it’s easy to elevate people above God.In our culture, just serving without getting anything in return, has largely become a lost concept.Sometimes the promises we are believing God for are not for us, but for a generation to come.Don’t let your disobedience in the past affect your obedience in the present.God will use your sore spots to train you.Self-centeredness will always taint your experience.The Lord is refining you to be more like Him.Your obedience could literally save somebody’s life for eternity.God owes us nothing, yet He will reward us if we seek Him earnestly.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

Recognizing False Teachers

That’s deception.Sorcerers perform in order to distract from the truth, rather than releasing a word from God.God does not share His glory with anyone. Be wary of people who think they are great and enjoy receiving praise.Be gleaners of the Word; find things that everyone skips over.Beware of those who live on grace and don’t change.Never assume that false teaching only happens from the pulpit.How to recognize good teachers and leaders.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

God is powerful and can transform our lives, but what does it take for that to happen?

He can be found.We have the choice to see things the way God does or the way we want to.God can handle your questions.God doesn’t consider our immediate circumstances when He asks for our obedience.It’s not enough just to see; we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit.Always obey the Lord. Always listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice.You have a choice.The Holy Spirit empowers us to do hard things.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.

Is it possible for every believer to hear and follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance? Pastor Ronnie teaches about receiving the Holy Spirit and recognizing His voice.Scriptures ReferencedJohn 14:16; Acts 8:26-40; Romans 8:9; Galatians 4:6Key InsightsThe Holy Spirit talks to you.Being filled with the Holy Spirit isn’t a one time event.The Holy Spirit can speak to you anywhere.The Holy Spirit is unlikely to ask you to do something big unless you’ve shown that you’re faithful in the little things.We often don’t truly understand what is big and what is small in the Kingdom.Unless we know God’s Word and learn to recognize the Holy Spirit’s voice, it’s easy to think our voice is His.About SpringhouseIf you’re looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we’d love to connect with you.
