   Behold His Prosperity

   Why do so many pursue success yet feel unstable or empty, even when surrounded by opportunity and advice? Psalm 1 thrusts us into the tension between worldly counsel and God’s design, challenging our influences and definitions of prosperity. Pastor Alan reveals how the promises of God are not automatic; they require discernment about where we seek counsel, whose path we stand in, and what we let shape our hearts. With practical stories and probing questions, he unpacks ancient words and contemporary struggles, showing how staying rooted in God’s Word moves us from restlessness to steadfast prosperity that is measured by spiritual fruit that blesses others. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 1:1-6; Proverbs 6:16-19; Luke 11:10-13; John 3:16; Romans 10:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 5:19-20, Colossians 3:7-9; Hebrews 11:1 Key Insights The Blessing of Being “Blessable”: Why prosperity is promised to those who avoid ungodly counsel and delight in God’s instruction. The Power of Influence: How what enters our eyes and ears subtly directs our steps toward—or away from—God’s best. Rootedness vs. Instability: The warning against becoming like chaff, blown and unsettled, and the practical joy of being deeply planted in Christ.

   Prince of Peace

   We often chase peace as mere calm or the absence of conflict, but find ourselves shaken when life upends our fragile security. Isaiah boldly proclaims a peace that is not circumstantial, but deeply relational—a governing presence that steadies us amid chaos. Pastor Barbie challenges these comfortable notions, revealing that the Prince of Peace offers more than soothing feelings. Drawing from Isaiah 9, the message contrasts the world's circumstantial control with Christ’s unshakable authority. True biblical peace requires submission, honesty, and courage to pursue reconciliation, not just the appearance of harmony. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 85:10; Isaiah 9:6-7, 26:3; Matthew 10:34; John 14:27; Romans 5:1, 12:18; 1 Corinthians 16:9; Colossians 1:19-20, 3:14-15; Ephesians 4:15; Philippians 2:3, 4:6-7 Key Insights Governing vs. Comforting Peace: Biblical peace is not a fleeting feeling but a ruling authority rooted in Christ’s reign. Peacemaking vs. Peacekeeping: Authentic peace seeks truth, humility, and love, not just avoiding conflict or settling for superficial unity. Submission and Trust: Receiving enduring peace demands surrendering control, trusting in God’s sovereignty even when outcomes are unpredictable. Key Sections 00:00:00 | Welcome and Announcements Reflecting on the value of community and upcoming opportunities for worship and connection. 00:04:33 | A Word for Us All Setting the stage for a collective challenge. 00:05:28 | Beholding the Prince of Peace Exploring Isaiah’s prophecy and redefining our concept of peace as authority, not ambiance. 00:08:26 | The Influence of Christ’s Reign How the Prince of Peace provides a ruling presence that anchors us as believers. 00:11:48 | What Rules Your Peace? A confrontation with our default settings—do circumstances or Jesus rule our inner world? 00:13:07 | The Cost and Calling of Peacemaking Recognizing that authentic peace may produce conflict but leads to reconciliation and truth. 00:19:10 | From Peacekeeping to Peacemaking Distinguishing between inauthentic harmony and the scriptural pursuit of real peace. 00:24:12 | Resting in God’s Authority Learning to submit, trust, and allow God’s peace to guard your heart beyond human understanding. 00:30:19 | The Strength of Biblical Peace Reframing peace as steady, active, and unbreakable, rooted in Christ’s government. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/prince-of-peace Subscribe & Follow the Podcast (https://springhouse.captivate.fm/listen) Download our app (https://springhousesmyrna.com/app) Our Website (https://springhousesmyrna.com) Online Tithes & Offerings (https://springhousesmyrna.com/give) Join our Livestream (https://springhousesmyrna.com/livestream/) Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

   Good Shepherd

   How can we truly hear and follow Jesus in a world of competing voices and spiritual blindness? The Good Shepherd’s call demands more than acknowledgement. It requires radical obedience and humility in recognizing our ongoing need for grace. Rooted in John 9–10, Pastor Jonathan explores the deep divide between those who claim to see and those humble enough to admit their blindness. With vivid imagery and personal stories, this message confronts our resistance to spiritual “shearing” and the struggle to trust God’s voice over self-reliance or cultural noise. The difference between the empty rules of the Pharisee and the tender tending of the Shepherd is not just doctrinal but profoundly practical and eternal. Scriptures Referenced Ezekiel 34:1-11; Matthew 7:1-5, 23:1-4; John 1:35-37, 9:11, 9:17, 9:30-33, 9:35-10:16, 19:14-15; 20:30-31; Acts 26:17-18 Key Insights Responding to the Shepherd’s Voice: Only those who know their need and recognize the Shepherd truly follow, while others remain weighed down by sin and pride. Blindness and Spiritual Sight: The journey from spiritual blindness to believing worshiper mirrors our lifelong process of surrender and transformation. Biblical Discipleship vs. Legalism: True correction flows from compassion and shared need, not self-righteous burdening; we are all beggars in need of the Shepherd’s bread. Key Sections 00:00:00 | Welcome and Announcements Pastor Barbie shares what's coming up over the next few weeks. 00:01:37 | Beholding That Moves Us Pastor Jonathan introduces the biblical meaning of “behold,” noticing Christ in ways that demand a personal, embodied response. 00:04:53 | Beholding and Consequences See how encountering Jesus provokes either transformation or rejection. 00:07:22 | Obstacles to True Sight The healed blind man and the Pharisees reveal the barriers: pride and comfort with spiritual blindness. 00:10:05 | Blindness and Ongoing Need Sheep (and people) persistently require tending and are easily led astray or burdened by sin. 00:17:53 | The Cost and Joy of Following Obedience is challenged by the allure of other voices and desires; real satisfaction is only found in trusting Jesus. 00:26:21 | Discipleship, Sin, and Community The dangers of isolation, legalism, and misunderstanding true holiness are addressed, with a call for authentic fellowship. 00:32:17 | The Voice of Compassionate Correction Contrasting self-righteousness with humble, compassionate discipleship that always points to the Bread of Life, not just hunger. 00:35:21 | Held by the Good Shepherd Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, lays down His life and unites His flock; our belonging does not rest on self-effort but His grace and sacrifice. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/good-shepherd Subscribe & Follow the Podcast (https://springhouse.captivate.fm/listen) Download our app (https://springhousesmyrna.com/app) Our Website (https://springhousesmyrna.com) Online Tithes & Offerings (https://springhousesmyrna.com/give) Join our Livestream (https://springhousesmyrna.com/livestream/) Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006
