Build Yourself a Springhouse

Build Yourself a Springhouse - Part 1

If you've ever been in a springhouse, especially in the summer, you will likely know that there is a sense of refreshing there. The air is cool. The water is cool, clear and tastes like no other water you drink. (My memories anyhow)
I have very clear memories of my childhood visits to at least two springhouses.
God intends for your soul to be a place refreshed as well as refreshing.

Here are three of the six things you can do in your life to "Build Yourself a Springhouse" of refreshing.

Learn to be SILENT
Learn to PRAY, truly pray, and to have prayer at the beginning, middle and ends of your days.
Learn to REST! Recover a rhythm of work and rest. Learn to truly Sabbath.

This coming Sunday we will finish with the last three things you can do.

How can you talk with those around you about this question that everyone considers at one time or another? We explored this question on Sunday. Click the link below to watch the message online now.

Which Guy will you be?

On Sunday, we compared the two "guys" Jesus talked about in Luke 18. Jesus compared a Pharisee (religious person) to a tax collector (humble worshipper). He made it clear that the tax collector came away justified in his worship because of his humility. Some of the characteristics of the Pharisee (Don't be that guy) were. He loved to compare himself to "sinners" to feel better about who he was. He loved to compare himself to "lowly worshippers" who weren't giving as much as he was. He kept a list of stuff he did for God as a way of impressing God and others. On the other hand, the tax collector came to God with these attitudes: He came humbly He was sorrowful and repentant. He recognized his need for grace and mercy The Big difference between the two was that the tax collector, in his humility, was able to: Rest in what God had done and would do by His grace. Reach out to others because of what He had been given. Releas...
