The Joy of a Thankful Heart
September 4, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • Luke 17:11–16

Have Faith in God's Promises
August 21, 2022 • Pastor John Klumpp • Numbers 13, Numbers 14
You don't have to read far into God's word to find http://promises...they permeate scripture. Time after time we see God make, keep and fulfill promises. So what shakes our faith in the promises God makes? This Sunday we'll see why that happens and how God is worth of our trust.
Guarding Against Deceptive Leaders
August 14, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • 1 John 4:1–6
We will encounter church leaders and teachers who claim and may have the outward appearance to be from God, and doing God's work. But what's real? What's true? Are you able to see through the smoke and mirrors to spot a wolf? We'll talk through some ways to spot these false teachers and listen to God's Spirit of truth.
What Should We Do When We Sin?
August 7, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • Romans 7, Romans 8
God's desire for us is to pursue personal and practical holiness. Though we are righteous in God's eyes, we're still human, and prone to sin. While God is gracious, His word prescribes steps we as His children can take to live in right relationship with Him when we fail.
God's Design for Care & Correction

The LORD is My Shepherd
July 24, 2022 • Pastor Michael Swindell • Psalm 23, Ezekiel 34:1–16
The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well-known and beloved passages of scripture. While it serves as a great comfort during difficult times, there are several implications on a deeper level that we would be wise to cling to.
Handling the Truth of God's Word
July 17, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • 2 Peter 1:19–21
How is it possible that we can have one Bible, and so many denominations? Our views of the authority of scripture affect what we believe about God and His word. At Wellspring, we believe the Bible is the ultimate source of truth, and we'll discuss why this Sunday.
What Do We Do With our Anger?
July 10, 2022 • Pastor John Klumpp • James 1:19–20, Galatians 5
We know that the Biblical goal of our emotions is to help us love God and love others. So how do we deal with the emotion of anger? Does it draw us closer to God and love others appropriately? We'll look at 3 ways we can submit this emotion to the Lord.
What Do We Do with Our Anxiety?
July 3, 2022 • Pastor John Klumpp • Philippians 4:6–7
Anxiety is an emotion, and one that can cripple an immobilize us if we do not confront it. And like all emotions, God knows we will experience it, and can use it to draw us closer to Himself. How do we take it to Him and how do we get the Lord's peace when we experience anxiety?
The Destructive Drug of Self Pity
June 26, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • Luke 15:22–32

God's Heart for the Nations
June 12, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • Revelation 7:9–12, Psalm 67
We know the words of the Great Commission ("Go and make disciples..."), and we know that God's desire is to see representatives from every tribe and tongue around his throne. But what does God expect from us, as individuals and as His Church? How do we bring the gospel to all nations and spread His glory throughout the Earth?
God's Glory and Our Role
June 5, 2022 • Jake Boerman • Isaiah 43:7
God’s glory is very literally the most important—significant—goal and movement of the entire universe. It’s what all things are moving towards! We have a role to play in that, and we get to choose what our role is. One leads to our ultimate satisfaction in life and God receiving the glory he’s due, the other to perpetual dissatisfaction, wondering why we exist as we seek our own glory or glory in lesser things.
The Glory & The Joy of Good Works
May 29, 2022 • Pastor Steve Gibson • Genesis 37:2–28
What happens when life doesn't turn out the way we hoped? Or if we find ourselves in a place we thought God would never lead us? Will we continue to trust the sovereignty of God and His promises?
