Springhouse Church

God's ultimate plan is to exalt Jesus

Springhouse Church
Shouting louder about biblical principles isn’t the cure for a lukewarm faith. True transformation requires a willingness to die to yourself. As we honor the men and women who gave their lives for our physical liberty this Memorial Day, let’s remember the greater war happening for our souls. Step out of compliance and into full surrender. #anchoredintruth #MemorialDay #SpiritualWarfare #FaithInAction #Surrender #BoldTruth #SpringhouseChurch

Arise in True Freedom | Pastor Kevin | John 15:4-5 & Galatians 5:1
Ever felt like you’re following all the right steps but still missing something deeper? Many people walk through church doors confident in their faith yet quietly shackled to old habits, unhealed pain, or a fear of never “arriving.” Pastor Kevin describes this as the difference between getting wet and actually going swimming. Between being close to truth but not fully saturated by it. Pastor Kevin unpacks why so many well-meaning people settle for surface-level Christianity, never realizing how much God longs to set them free. He reminds us that real change, doesn’t come from louder declarations or checklist spirituality, but from a daily, honest encounter with Jesus and his word. Whether you’re brand new or wrestling with old doubts, you’re invited to belong, to try again, and to ask, “Do I really want to be free?” There’s space for your questions here, and a next step that’s actually doable. You don’t need to fix yourself first—just come prepared to move forward. Bible References Psalm 16:6; John 5:1-8, 5:14-15, 8:31-47, 15:13; Galatians 5:1; Ephesians 6:12; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 1 John 4:7 Key Insights * Settling for spiritual “proximity” leaves us dry and unchanged. Full immersion in God’s truth creates real transformation. * True freedom is found within God’s boundaries, not outside them. * Excuses and busy schedules often mask the reality of spiritual bondage. * Everyone is welcome to start small and step into God’s freedom, no matter their past. Chapters: 00:00:00 - Welcome & Announcements Join us for an upcoming Instruments of Joy benefit concert. 00:02:09 - Owning Blind Spots and Love It's easy to mistake attempted faithfulness for true spiritual maturity, particularly in areas like love, where most overestimate their own growth and miss the lifelong challenge of loving as God does. 00:07:29 - Exposing False Freedom Many Christians often parade around believing they are free while quietly living in bondage, highlighting the cultural confusion between worldly and godly freedom, and why God’s limits are actually gifts that unleash joy and peace. 00:12:26 - The Discipline of God’s Love Why God disciplines those he loves, how our avoidance of authority affects spiritual growth, and the uncomfortable but freeing truth that discipline and freedom go hand in hand. 00:14:37 - Lukewarm Living and Self-Examination Lukewarm Christianity is where true transformation gets replaced by louder words or religious routines. The only real antidote is choosing daily to die to self and let God’s truth saturate every area of life. 00:17:49 - Do You Want to Be Free Pastor Keven shares Jesus’ direct challenge to the man at the pool of Bethesda, paralleling it with our own reluctance to truly seek freedom; excuses often feel safer than risking change, but Jesus calls us to “get up” and act. 00:25:34 - From Proximity to Immersion in Truth Knowing about God is not the same as surrendering to his truth.. It's like moving from standing at the edge of the pool to being completely submerged, where God’s voice finally becomes clearest and the old lies lose their volume. 00:41:48 - Concrete Next Steps for Real Change Immersion in Scripture is not about religious head knowledge but letting Jesus’ words shape every decision. #springhouse #springhousechurch #springhousesmyrna #smyrnatn #anchoredintruth Additional Resources Connect online: https://springhousechurch.churchcenter.com Download the app: https://springhousesmyrna.com/app Visit our website: https://springhousesmryna.com Giving: https://springhousesmyrna.com/give Follow the podcast https://springhousesmyrna.com/podcast Gathering Times Sundays at 9AM and 11:00 AM Thursdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

SET APART: A HOLY NATION | 1 PETER 3-5 | Pastor Jonathan
Why does real change seem so out of reach—even when you’re trying your hardest? Ever get weary of hitting the same wall and wondering why breakthrough never feels permanent? Most of us spend years trying to “improve” ourselves, only to run headlong into the parts of us we wish didn’t exist. Pastor Jonathan shares the story beneath the struggle: how God’s holiness doesn’t shame or discard, but ruins and then repairs us. When you stop hiding blind spots and dare to let God shine a light on the mess, you find there’s room for lasting growth, acceptance, and a new kind of strength. Holiness is not about out-performing your old self—it’s about letting the presence of God fill what’s broken, making you unmistakably different. Even if surrender sounds scary, it’s the first step toward the purpose and belonging you’re longing for. Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 3:1-6; 2 Chronicles 26:1; Psalm 145:17; Proverbs 9:10; Isaiah 6:1-8, 57:15; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Amos 9:11; Romans 8:11, Galatians 5:18-24; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 1:14-15, 2:7-8, 2:11, 4:3; Hebrews 4:16; Revelation 4:8 Key Insights: * Letting God’s holiness undo you is how healing and growth start. * Pride and spiritual numbness are replaced by humility and honest transformation. * Every blind spot healed is another door to freedom and influence. Chapters: (00:00:00) - Ruined in God’s Presence You won’t find freedom until you let God show you what needs to change—your undoing is where real hope begins. (00:04:41) - The Danger of Familiarity Complacency and pride can creep in when faith becomes routine. Rediscover the awe that keeps spiritual life tender, not brittle. (00:07:30) - Surrender versus Self-Righteousness Self-righteous striving never lasts, but humility does. See why honest surrender, not more resolve, is what makes us whole. (00:10:22) - The Mirror of True Holiness When you measure yourself by God’s character, not your track record, you find both conviction and comfort. (00:15:12) - Wrestling with Hard Truths Facing hidden patterns and naming blind spots is never easy. Pastor Jonathan shows that this tension is the birthplace of restoration. (00:20:58) - Living Set Apart The journey doesn’t end with self-awareness—learn to walk in new purpose, reflecting likeness you couldn’t earn. #springhouse #springhousechurch #springhousesmyrna #smyrnatn #anchoredintruth Additional Resources Connect online: https://springhousechurch.churchcenter.com Download the app: https://springhousesmyrna.com/app Visit our website: https://springhousesmryna.com Giving: https://springhousesmyrna.com/give Follow the podcast https://springhousesmyrna.com/podcast Gathering Times Sundays at 9AM and 11:00 AM Thursdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006
