Ever wanted a do-over? To hit the reset button? Or just a brand new start? We all want second chances, but sometimes struggle to offer them. What if that reluctance is hindering our own fresh start?

As we walk through the book of Jonah, we’ll discover the evidence of God’s grace and love for all–especially those who’ve found themselves going the wrong way.

April 5th - I Think I Need a Do-Over
Disobedience in the wrong direction doesn’t have to end in the sea of brokenness.

April 12th - The Space Between
Sometimes what we call problems and consequences, God calls provision and providence.

April 19th - Every Chance Requires a Choice
God isn’t done with you. Also, God isn’t going to force your hand.

April 26th - Give What You Got
To whom much is given, much is required. And that’s really important to remember when it comes to dealing with second chances.

Christians today face a dilemma: in a world that seems to increasingly reject everything we believe, how do we walk closely with God without caving to pressure or alienating those we hope to reach?

In this series, we’ll ask five key questions while examining the life of the prophet Daniel, who persevered in a corrupt culture that closely resembles our own--and emerged as an influential force in God's redemptive plan.

March 1st - Who Are You?
It's not just about standing out, it's also about how you do it. And the hack is remembering who you are because of whom you represent.

March 8th - What Has Your Heart?
It is culture’s greatest test: will I worship God, or something else?

March 15th - Where Do You Think You’re Going?
Be careful, that control issue might just turn you into a sinful beast.

February 22nd - Why Are You All Over the Place?
Our days are numbered, so don’t let them become unbalanced by a divided heart.

February 29th - How Do You Make a Difference?
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time. So preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words.

You know your giant. You recognize its walk, the thunder of its voice. Taunting you with your fears, failures, people you can’t please, habits you can’t break and a future you can’t face. But just like David, you can face your giants, even if you aren’t the strongest, smartest, best equipped, or holiest.

Looking at the life of David before he became King of Israel, we’ll discover how the same God who helped him Topple Goliaths will help you too.

February 1st - A Fear That Mocks You
The odds are not in your favor, and your giants know it. But in God’s power, they’re about to have a bad day.

February 8th - Raging Sauls
How do you kill your archenemy? With Grace and Kindness.

February 15th - Blind Intersections
Desperate, dried up and can’t see what’s coming. That’s perfect, actually.

February 22nd - Slump Guns & Plopping Points
Don’t give up, check your blind spots and get serious about finding God’s Providence.

Do you feel like things should be different? Like you’ve gotten off track? Forgotten your vision? Renew the Vision is the study of the book of Haggai and how God used the prophet to lead Israel to rebuild God's temple. By calling the Hebrew people to rebuild the temple, God led them in a renewal of the heart. And when our heart is in the right place, God’s Vision becomes clearer.

January 11th - The Time is Now
For some, it’s not a matter of what, but when. For ALL, the time is now.

January 18th - Do the Work, Remember the Promise
One step at a time, remembering your motivation in the face of resistance.

January 25th - A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
Right choices don’t always equate to immediate results. But the promise still stands.

Join us on January 5th as we start 21 days of prayer and fasting!

This year’s 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting theme is “Prayers of Faith.”
What does it mean to have faith while we pray?

The phrase “prayers of faith” can mean many different things to many different people. Is it following the “name it and claim it” philosophy, believing that God will give us whatever we ask if we just have enough faith (and thereby saying if we don’t get what we asked for, our faith is lacking)? Is it only praying “safe” or vague prayers that we fully believe we have the faith to support, and that God will do? What do we do when our prayers seem unanswered?
As we prepare for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, it’s worth taking a moment to examine the Bible’s teaching on the intersection of faith and prayer, specifically Jesus’ words on the subject.
In John 16:22-24, Jesus teaches us that praying in faith is directly connected to praying in His name, and praying in His name is directly connected to joy. The passage reads:
“Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.” (John 16:22-24, NASB 1995)
Two sources of joy
When Jesus first spoke the words of John 16 to His disciples, they didn’t know it yet, but they were about to go through tremendous hardship. Before the night was over, Jesus would be arrested, and they would be stricken with grief. To prepare them for what lay ahead, He gave them two promises that were specifically designed to lift them out of their sorrow.
First, He said: “I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you” (v. 22). That means: “You’ll never be alone. I will always be with you, and someday you’ll see me again, face to face.”
No matter our circumstances, we know and believe in faith that God will make all things right in the end, and we will be with Him. At their most basic, all of our prayers are really just asking God to be who we believe him to be: a God who loves us, who cares for us, and who will restore all things.
One day, we will see God face to face. Then our prayers will be answered in completeness. In the meantime, we can praise God in faith for what He has done in the past and what He will do, even in the midst of hardship or in the midst of seemingly unanswered prayer.
The second promise Jesus made was this: “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full” (v. 24). In other words: “You’re going to see answers to prayer that are so amazing, you won’t be able to be sad. You’ll be constantly rejoicing in God.”
At their most basic, all of our prayers are really just asking God to be who we believe him to be: a God who loves us, who cares for us, and who will restore all things.
In My name
To pray “in Jesus’ name” means to pray what He tells us to pray. Once we’ve determined what Jesus wants us to pray, we can present our request to the Father “in Jesus’ name.” Finally, we need to learn to endure in such prayers until the answer is released. Let’s consider each step:
1. Discover Jesus’ will: Answered prayer starts by asking Jesus to reveal His will in a particular matter. What does He want us to do? What is He going to do? Those are very different questions from what do we think should happen.

Before we can sincerely ask for this guidance, we must first empty out our own desires and expectations; only then will we be free to let the Holy Spirit direct our thoughts. We must get to the place where we can say, “Not my will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42).

The important point to remember is that we must not move forward until we are satisfied that we’ve truly heard from Him. Though His voice can come to us in many different ways, what matters isn’t how He speaks, but that we know He has spoken.
2. Ask the Father: Jesus said that because of His cross and resurrection, we can boldly and confidently go straight to the Father with our prayers. If we have discovered what Jesus’ will is and what we should pray, we can be confident that the Father will surely answer us in His own way and in His own time. In fact, Jesus literally assured us that we will always receive an answer when we pray this way.
3. Pray through: Prayer is not usually a simple process in which we merely ask for something and God immediately gives it to us. In practice, there is often a delay (sometimes a very long one) between the prayers we pray and God’s answer.

If someone doesn’t know that, they may become disillusioned because their prayers appear to go unanswered. That’s where enduring prayer comes in. We don’t continue praying as a way of pushing God to do something He doesn’t want to do. We keep praying because that’s what faith truly is, continuing to believe even when it’s hard or doesn’t make sense.
The Joy of answered prayer
In John 16, Jesus explained to His disciples the joy they would discover when they learned to pray in His name, to pray in faith. With complete openness, He described the hardships that lay ahead of them, but then quickly assured them that those seasons of hardship would become joyful times. They weren’t going to miserably hang on until it was over. They were going to be filled with joy.
Why? Because they would see Him again, and because He was going to give them a level of answered prayer that would change their entire attitude toward life. In effect, He said, “Don’t focus on the trials that are coming; look at the promises I’m giving you because these promises will lead you into a wonderful future … full of joy.”
This is what it means to pray in faith. You and I can rejoice right now because He’s given these same promises to us. As we head into 2026, will you consider joining your global Foursquare family in praying together during 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting? I can’t wait to see the joy the Lord will bring us through this time.

DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY PACKET OR THE ADULT PACKET BELOW:

Around the holiday season, we do our best to manufacture the themes of Christmas, and often end up worse than we started. What we need isn’t natural–it’s supernatural. And it starts with yielding to the power of the Holy Spirit to produce real fruit in our lives.

As we celebrate the season of Advent, we will invert the traditional order of the weekly themes, beginning with “Love”, THE primary fruit of the spirit, moving to the “Joy” that is flows forward, the “Peace” we can experience and ending with the real “Hope” we have today, while identifying and allowing the Fruit of the Spirit to work in us this Christmas season.

November 30th - A Love That Doesn’t Stop
It has to start here, or what follows won’t work.

December 7th - A Joy That Shines Brightest
It’s less about what happens to you, and more about what happens through you.

December 14th - A Peace That Doesn’t Make Sense
Perfect peace doesn’t mean everything settles down. It means you’ve found the right place to stand.

December 21st - A Hope That Looks Foolish
Why is it that at the end of seasons that we reflect on how it began? What if the end is the beginning? And how do we just sit and let that happen?

Each year, as Thanksgiving ends and we turn toward Christmas, we at Springs welcome the season of Advent—a season of watching, waiting, and worship as we prepare for the coming of Christ. This year, Advent begins on the last day of November. Each of the four Sundays before Christmas marks a step toward the celebration of Jesus’ birth, the Light of the World. Every week, we’ll light a candle and center our hearts on one of the beautiful themes of this season: Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope.

Each Sunday, a family or individual will lead us in a short reading and prayer as we light the candles together.

• Week One: Love
• Week Two: Joy
• Week Three: Peace 
• Week Four: Hope

Along with our Sunday readings, we’ll have a take-home devotional with a simple reading per week to help you engage your heart in the meaning of Advent throughout the week.

You can pick up a handout in the lobby, print your own at home, or download a digital PDF below.

Join us this Advent season as we light the candles, lift our prayers, and celebrate the beauty of our God — whose Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope shine through Jesus Christ, our coming King.

Whether we realize it or not, we spend a lot of time focused on “Me”. But to fully experience the life God has for us, we must be willing to reject our own comfort for the good of others. It’s not easy, and it sure isn’t comfortable. But when you deny yourself, God can do so much more. Using a blueprint found in Romans 12, we’ll discover that when there’s more of God in you, you Self, Less.

November 2nd - Do You, Less
The problem with a living sacrifice is that it keeps trying to crawl off of the altar.

November 9th - Take Less
When you put others before yourself in service, you take less.

November 16th - Need Less
When you are extravagant in your generosity, you need less.

November 23rd - Whine Less
When you are grateful in the grind, you complain less.

Throughout November, we’ll be doing our annual GIVE THANKS challenge!
This year, we will add adoration to our challenge.

We have a special handout for you, with Scriptures.
It is simple: Read the scripture daily and write down 3 things for which you are thankful.
Use the scripture - read it, pray it, sing it, write it. Write 3 things you are thankful for each day - share them online, put a notebook on the table for the month, or pray them. Choose whatever works for you!

How does it feel to know someone's in your corner; supporting, coaching, sharpening and cheering you on? Now imagine if entire generations could experience support like this. Using models of generational relationships in scripture, we’ll learn what can happen when we develop relationships that shape, share insight, and speak into our souls.

October 5th - Who’s Around You?
For the follower of Jesus, engaging with His church isn’t optional.

October 12th - Who’s Next to You?
Iron doesn't sharpen itself, and you shouldn't either.

October 19th - Who’s Ahead of You?
We all need someone to see in us what we can’t see, and draw out in us, what we wouldn’t without them.

October 26th - Who’s Behind You?
Everyone has influence with someone, and an incredible opportunity to impact the future.

In Jesus’ time on Earth, He wasn’t interested in token gestures. He didn’t care about outward behavior. He challenged the “religion” of the day. He smashed preconceptions. He called out haters and critics. He shook up anyone whose faith was lukewarm, and He brought hope to the broken, the lost, and those tangled in sin by showing them what true worship could be.

In this series, we’ll go beyond the simple slogans of what it means to follow Christ, and open ourselves up to discover the knots in our lives that Jesus wants to undo, so that we can live an authentic faith.

September 7th - Hypocrisy
Jesus has zero tolerance for hypocrisy. But he has unlimited grace for a sinner in need of forgiveness.

September 14th - Indifference
Spiritually Stale and Depressingly Detached doesn’t just break Jesus’ heart–it turns his stomach.

September 21st - Hollow Worship
Worship isn’t just the songs that we sing. It is the way that we live.

September 28th - Spiritual Pride
Following Christ isn’t a competition. Pride can take over when God has blessed us with strong relationships, great careers, or exceptional talent—but a humble heart beats any of those, any day.

Join your Springs Family in prayer, each day September 15th through October 26th.

Each day we will pray any time the clock hits 7:14 (am, pm or both!), aligned with:
You pray wherever you’re at, with others around you, or on your own, but regardless it will be united in prayer with your Springs family! Each week will have a theme, with a prayer point each day from the 40 Days of Prayer Guide, available to download below, or as a printed copy at our Welcome Center.

A summer series through the book of James, a letter that serves as a how-to manual for the Christian life. When we deal with trials, contentions, and lack of faith, James teaches us that we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances. The foundation of the book is the importance of faith; faith or the lack thereof can determine the direction of one’s life.

We have a take home resource for you to engage with through this series. You will find that attached at the bottom of this page.

July 6th - Hard Life, Good God
Trials test faith in order to make spiritual pilgrimages complete. They are part of the “good gifts” God gives his people in order to make them whole.

July 13th - Real Religion
Practical Christianity mandated by the gospel, and characterized by both truly “hearing” and then resolutely “doing” the truth.

July 20th - The Royal Law of Love
Favoritism and discrimination are violations of the kingdom law of love.

July 27th - The Cause and Effect and Cause
There is no dichotomy between faith and works, and you can’t have one without the other.

August 3rd - Wisdom From Above, Here Below
Small things can cause great results, for bad or good. What if the solution was available to you before the problem arrived?

August 10th - God’s Enemies & Devil’s Allies
Those who fracture community through selfish ambition are playing for the wrong team.

August 17th - Mo Money, Mo Problems
Be careful as to not let the things of this world move you from faithful to faithless.

August 24th - So, To Close the Loop…
Speaking mainly of prayer, James closes, restating some of the letter’s key themes.

The last song we sang during our music section of Sunday worship on June 22, 2025 was called “Make Room”. This song was written by a group of called Community Music. As I listened to the chorus:
And I will make room for You
To do whatever You want to
To do whatever You want to, Jesus (repeat)
Holy Spirit reminded me of a Children’s message he gave years ago. Like most Children’s
messages he gave me an image, a visual aid to help get the point across.
Consider a glass jar with a lid filled with rice, beside the jar is a small bouncy ball.
You are the glass jar and all the rice is your life, your family, activities, desires,
possessions, etc. you get the picture, a full jar.
Let’s say the ball represents Jesus (the trinity the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit).
Now unscrew the lid and put the small bouncy ball in the jar full of rice and put the lid back on. What happens? There isn’t room for the ball.
Now take the jar full of rice empty it carefully into another container, put the ball in the
jar, now pour all the rice back into the jar. The amazing thing is every piece of rice goes back into the jar and you can screw the lid back on.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Jesus doesn’t say clean up your life or get rid of your life. He says look to me first, I am the way, put me first. I will show you the whole truth and the only way to come into a full relationship with the LORD. I will give you the fullness of life in the midst of your everyday life. This song is a song of confession, repentance and surrender calling us to make room for our Creator, LORD and lover of our soul. Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him and we will come to him and make our home with him.” John 14:23
My Love in Jesus to you all, Pastor Deb
