Living Spring Podcast

Is the God of the Bible real? Does He exist? Maybe it's not about finding the right answers, but asking the right questions.

Can we trust what the Bible says? It all begins with our approach to reading it. Dr. Kenneth Waters joins us this week from Azusa Pacific University.

If we want to know who God is, we must know Jesus. Dr. Bruce Baloian joins us this week to help us renew our understanding of the heart of Jesus. (2nd service sermon)

If we want to know who God is, we must know Jesus. Dr. Bruce Baloian joins us this week to help us renew our understanding of the heart of Jesus.

Dr. Steve Wilkins joins us from Azusa Pacific University to discuss the ever-controversial question: Intelligent design or scientific theory? Maybe neither?

Special Guest Speaker Steve Fitch of Eden Reforestation Projects shares the call to Christians to stop just going to church, but go out and BE the Church. This call is put into action through the vision of ERP: plant trees, save lives.

Whether we know it or not, all of us are living a life of impact. The questions is, is our life impacting the Kingdom of God positively or negatively? How we use our speech can play a monumental part in the answer to that question.

If you are a follower of Christ, you are a missionary. Your current job, family, neighborhood, friends, school, everyone you meet, everywhere you go; this is your mission field. Missions work is not reserved only for those who travel to distant countries and foreign cultures. But how can we apply the same principles here in our own surroundings? How can we turn our everyday life into a life of impact?

As we continue in our series on how to live a life that can have an impact on those around us, we have to ask ourselves, "Who is going to have an impact after me?". This week we take a look at how the Bible teaches the importance of impressing this life of impact on our children.

We were designed to live in community. We were created to have meaningful, serving relationships with each other. In order to impact those around us, we must be connected to those around us. We need the Body of Christ. This week we kickoff our new Fall Small Groups.

What does it mean belong to the body of Christ? To really follow & serve Him? He calls each one of us to be a part of His ministry of sacrifice, are we answering that call?

We all know that the Bible commands us to tithe 10% of what we earn, but what does God say about the 90% that we keep? Does He have a say? Do we let Him have a say? The earth is His and all that is in it...even our 90%.

It's incredible when someone gives their life to Jesus, like being rescued from certain death. But once the rescue is over, how do they live out that new miraculous life they have been given?

God is waiting. He has prepared a meal for us that will satisfy our spiritual hunger in ways we could never imagine. Can you wait for His meal? So often we become impatient and try to curb our hunger for Him with the things that the world offers. What will it take to get back to the place where we hunger & thirst for righteousness?

It's time for something drastic. The war is raging, the enemy is plotting. Are you ready to stand in the face of adversity? Do you have faith that can outlast persecution and trial? Are you willing to get out of your comfort zone and take up your cross? It's time for some extreme training, welcome to Boot Camp.

Brazilian Pastors Sebastian & Anne Marie Silva team up to bring the message this week as we learn how we can best be used by God in any situation. Sebastian & Anne Marie live and minister locally in Fountain Valley and have many years of ministerial history with Living Spring.

Have you ever tried to build something without the use of a level or ruler? Chances are, whatever you are building will come out crooked, lop-sided or structurally unsound. This is the way that Amos describes the nation of Israel. They had wandered away from God's laws and had become unsound. Can we examine the structure of our soul and find it sound? Or are there areas that God may need to tear down and re-build?

In the Old Testament, Elijah is basically described as "the man", spiritually speaking. He had such great faith that miracles seemed to be happening around him all the time. And then on day, it all came to an end and his faith was shaken. How could this happen? How does this happen in our daily lives? How can we get back into a right relationship with God?

This week we will be discussing Living Spring's view on evangelism by looking at these three components: Invest, Invite, Include.

Have you ever used cruise control while driving? You push a button and the car's computer takes over. Now imagine flying while using autopilot. How easy would be to completely forget that you are flying a course until it's too late. Many times we set our spiritual life on autopilot. This week's message will help us to identify the warning signs of a life lived on autopilot.
