  1. To Be Like Christ

    2D AGO

    To Be Like Christ

    Division isn’t just "out there." If we're not careful, it creeps into our families, friendships, and even our faith communities. We get lost in being right, in old wounds, and in lines drawn by culture or tradition. Yet God has called us to something better: real connection, real unity, a place where Christ rules and grace is extended. You’re welcome to start where you are. The journey isn’t about getting it all right; it’s about becoming a little more like Christ every day. Lay down the need to win, and pick up the invitation to live out radical forgiveness. Key Insights: Our true fellowship is in Christ.Knowledge alone puffs up, but Christlike love builds up and welcomes.In the end, the only thing that really matters is looking like Christ.Forgiveness is supernatural. You receive it freely and give it freely. Scriptures ReferencedPsalm 133; Proverbs 6:16-19; Matthew 23:15; Mark 12:22-30; 1 Corinthians 8:1b; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12-13; 2 Timothy 2:24-25; James 3:1; Revelation 12:10 Key InsightsOur true fellowship is in Christ.Knowledge alone puffs up, but Christlike love builds up and welcomes.In the end, the only thing that really matters is looking like Christ.Forgiveness is supernatural. You receive it freely and give it freely. Key Sections00:00:00 - Facing Division Tension, opinions, and hurt threaten to pull us apart, even inside the church. Pastor Ronnie exposes the roots of division and why even the "spiritual" can get it wrong. 00:09:46 - Embracing Forgiveness Some differences run deep, but Christ's call is to something deeper still. Here’s why forgiveness is always possible but never achieved in our own strength. 00:18:45 - Kindness Over Being Right We can cling to being "correct," but Pastor Ronnie’s raw stories show how humility, not certainty, sets people free. Being right can make you mean; kindness transforms. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/to-be-like-christ Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

  2. Arise in Calling and Grace

    APR 26

    Arise in Calling and Grace

    Ever feel like your life looks fine on the outside while chaos brews underneath? We all know what it’s like to manage appearances, hoping our hidden mess will just stay tucked away. But as Pastor Kevin reminds us, God isn’t looking for perfection. He’s after transformation in the places we’d rather keep locked up. We can rest in His goodness as He tends to the wounds, disappointments, and stubborn habits we'd rather ignore. Because when calling and character collide, we don't need shortcuts. We need the deep maturity that comes from deep growth and healing. Stop hiding and start letting the light in. Join the honest journey from maintaining an image to becoming whole, grounded, and ready for what’s next. Scriptures ReferencedEphesians 4:1–13; Romans 11:29; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Isaiah 6:1–8; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Romans 5:1–5; Revelation 3:20. Key InsightsGod’s call on your life is irrevocable, but maturity is a choice.Real growth begins when you address what’s hidden, not just what’s seen.Grace both opens and closes doors to shape you—not to punish, but to form.Character, not talent, is what sustains your calling. Key Sections00:00:00 - Dependent Not Driven Think you need to have it all together before God can use you? Discover why dependence, not self-sufficiency, is the real mark of a mature believer. 00:10:16 - Character Over Calling Hidden flaws won't stay hidden forever. Learn why your greatest gift won't take you further than your spiritual maturity. 00:17:15 - Embracing the Grace Gap Ever feel left behind or overlooked? See how grace works in the wait—healing what ambition alone cannot touch. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-in-calling-and-grace Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

  3. Arise Dependently

    APR 19

    Arise Dependently

    We live in a culture that celebrates self-sufficiency. We’re told to grind harder, manage outcomes, and control every detail. But what happens when you reach the end of your rope and realize the burden is more than you can carry? Pastor Kevin gets blunt: real spiritual growth doesn’t come from trying harder or earning your spot. It starts when you finally let go, rest, and admit you’re not the source of your own strength. Drawing from Genesis to the words of Jesus, he walks through the tension of wanting to do it all yourself—and the freedom found in surrender. This is not weakness; it’s wisdom. Becoming childlike isn’t about immaturity—it’s about owning your limits and trusting God to do what you cannot. If you’re worn out or stuck, you are right where you need to be. The invitation is simple but costly: rest, trust, and let Him carry what you can’t. Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 1; Proverbs 3:5; Matthew 23:12; Luke 17-18, 18:15, 18:17; John 15; 1 Corinthians 5:7 Key InsightsJesus is our Source.Rest is a part of God’s design.Faith is revealed by how much you depend.We don’t just need what Jesus gives; we need Jesus.The Kingdom belongs to those who depend on the Lord. Key Sections(00:00:00) - Trade Striving for Rest Most of us live exhausted, trapped in the idea that spiritual maturity begins with what we do for God. That pull to measure your faith by activity feels noble, but only wears you out. Pastor Kevin invites you to a different path—one where growing spiritually begins with giving up control, where the first choice is to rest instead of rush, and where God’s plan is to fill you up before you try to help others. (00:15:39) - Dependence Over Confidence A spiritual experience can slowly change into self-confidence. The more you learn, the easier it becomes to trust your own thoughts instead of relying on God. Notice the drift from dependence, as faith quietly shifts from Jesus to your grasp of spiritual things. Pastor Kevin exposes how easily we try to “do God’s job for him” and calls you to a radical return to childlike trust. (00:44:05) - Become Childlike Again Performing, producing, managing outcomes - these exhaust you yet bring no closer intimacy with God. Jesus welcomes only those who embrace utter dependence, like an infant with nothing to offer but need. Here, every pretense of strength is surrendered. You find lasting transformation not in what you achieve, but in how you trust and rest as a beloved child. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-dependently Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006
