The Mirror. Have you ever looked long enough in to the mirror to either LOVE or HATE the person looking back at you? We spend most of our time looking around at everyone and everything else. In fact, we know more about the people we interact with every day than we know about ourselves (What we look like, habits, etc.). In this sermon from Romans 2-3:20 we find out why it's important to "look in to a mirror" when it comes to noticing the sins and faults of this world. Hint: It's not a THEM problem. It's an US problem. It's a ME problem. We have a problem. It's a sin problem. Knowing our problem will go a far way in finding out how to address it.

In the book of Genesis the Bible tells us of a catastrophic event. The loss of life staggering to a degree we could never fully comprehend: This at the hand of God, Himself. The wrath of God is something we have to come face to face with. It's a very real part of who He is. It's also how we can understand His Goodness and Grace. Grace in the flood? How is this story about Grace? This sermon examines how God chose to save a remnant. And how through the remnant God ultimately saved all mankind. It's part of our origin story, and it informs who we are as believers even to this day.

If the world was created to be good and perfect...then what in the world happened?! In this sermon, Pastor Tim explores the fall of mankind in Genesis 3 - the original sin. Join us as we dive in to the Word and look at how sin and death entered the world, how our need for a savior in Christ Jesus came to be, and other relevant topics to today's culture such as unease with our bodies and how God created us male and female. Sermon from our livestream on April 23, 2023. Thank you for watching! God bless!

Leaven. Leaven helps dough to rise. In and of itself, for baking purposes, it's a good thing. But there's a powerful lesson we learn about leaven from the Bible. You see, once leaven enters in to dough, it's nearly impossible to get it out. It will spread through the entire "lump" of dough. Ultimately, affecting the entire batch. When it comes to sin, a little leaven will destroy the whole batch. In this sermon from 1 Corinthians chapter 5 we find out how sin impacted the early church. Ultimately, we learn how to guard against the same happening to our church(es) today.

"What happens in Corinth stays in Corinth." Corinth, the AcroCorinth, a port city and a center for trade, polytheism, it all made for a unique blending pot for self-gratification and sin. But that is NOT the church. What should the church look like? How should the church act? What separates the Church from the rest of the world and culture? This sermon is an overview of the Corinthian culture. Find out how this book teaches Christians how to live IN the world, but not OF the world.  

Paul teaches us in the book of Galatians that we are NO LONGER SLAVES to sin. In this sermon we learn about how the Low magnifies our need for Christ. We can never measure up to a sovereign God! That does not sound encouraging, does it? In fact, it's worse than that. The Bible teaches us we are SLAVES TO SIN. There's nothing we can do to overcome our sin on our own. We all fall short of the Glory of God, and our sin just magnifies that. But, because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, we don't have to be a slave to our sin any more! This sermon, peppered with a couple testimonies of LifeSpring Christian Church members, is a practical reminder of this truth!

Before in the Old Testament people had to sacrifice lambs, and go to alters, and go to Priests, and do these things in order to make an atonement for their sin. God sent His son, Jesus, to die in our place. A perfect, pure sacrifice so we don't have to keep sacrificing. His blood is so powerful it covers all your sins of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And not just your sins but every other person in the world who ever was, is now, and will be to come. That is how powerful the blood of Christ is!
