Grace to you! Hello, my name is Dr. Price. Welcome to Spring of Living Waters (SLW). I am former Pastor/elder of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Kempner, TX and  Seminary Professor. One of the purposes of God’s word is to perform a reformation of our hearts, transforming our minds in such a way that illuminates who God is. This knowledge should impact our daily lives, reflecting the character of Christ in our affections and actions.

Persistence in prayer is essential to our ability to endure all things and be faithful in the mission God has left his people in the earth. Another important ingredient needed in prayer is “humility,” which is the reason Jesus teaches, “The Parable of the Pharisee & the Tax Collector” (Lk 18:9-14). We are instructed not to come before God puffed up in self-righteousness and boasting in one’s works like the Pharisee did. We are to approach God needy like the tax collector (i.e., beggars, Syrophoenician woman of Mk 7). We come his throne of grace with a humble attitude (embracing sober judgement of oneself). Our faith should reveal a trust that is fully committed to God and his love. We come to receive from God (only offering him praise and thanksgiving, longing to always be close to him) ……. childlike faith. 
 
In the previous parable, the tax collector is an excellent picture of a trustful little child before his father. He is our model of how we come to Jesus, the Son. Some might say, “but Jesus isn’t the Father in Heaven?!!!” But remember what Jesus told his disciples when Philip asked, “Lord, show us the Father...” Jesus’ response, “…Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:8-9). To come to Jesus is to come to the Father through him (Jn 14:6). Today, we will survey the characteristics of childlike faith as Jesus rebukes his disciples from preventing little children from coming to him.

Message: Child Like Faith (Luke 18:15-17)

At the close of the age, Jesus will usher in the full manifestation of his eternal kingdom., i.e., the new creation. He and John the Baptist announced its inauguration with these words, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand!” Since that time, this same kingdom (which is essentially spiritual in its essence) has been advancing in the earth. The Pharisees were completely blinded to this truth as they ask Jesus when such a kingdom would come (v20). Jesus responds, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, (21) nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ Or ‘There!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.” In part 1 of this sermon series, Jesus began to expose their misconceptions on the nature of such kingdom. He described: 
 
• A kingdom that would not arrive with outward show (such as loud proclamation, prancing horses, marching armies, and parades) as man is accustomed to. 
 
• Further, such a kingdom has a King who is not coming to rebuild our earthly kingdoms to rule over, but rather to overthrow and put them away along with all of man’s reign. 
 
• A kingdom that (in this age) is discerned spiritually by its citizens and visible to the world through spiritual fruit. 
 
• A kingdom that has a King who will not return in some hidden way to select group of people disclosing secret knowledge, but rather all in creation will see him when he returns, “For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of man be in his day” (v24). 
 
Now he continues to detail more signs of his return by highlighting how people will be living during the days just before his Second Coming. We will explore his warnings that will help us understand the importance of discernment and preparedness for his appearing.

Message: Coming King & Kingdom, Part 2 (Luke 17:26-37)

Theologian Hugh Martin(1822-85), wrote, “The gospel is that you have no right to go to hell. If you do, you go there trampling upon the Son of God.” Jesus lays down his life so that no one has to perish by turning to Him. 
It’s easy and ignorant to offer divine commentary on tragedy when there is a death toll to be grieved. When bad things happen in a fallen world under the reign of death, we often act judgmental and ask questions about how we can better control outcomes and blame people or lack of awareness. If we are not careful, we will assume privilege, superiority, or some kind of exceptionalism over deadly events For example: NOTED news articles and quotes. Jesus endured similar commentary about the Galileans slaughter in the temple during a season of religious sacrifices (13:1-3). To listen to more on this message, click the link.

Message: All Must Repent (Luke 13:1-5)

The One who is to be feared is also the One who has a deep love and intimate concern for His disciples. He knows and cares about the sparrows, which have little value to man. Those little birds which seem insignificant to mankind are known and counted by their maker. 
 
He also knows the very hairs of our head. The disciple need not fear (as man does) for mankind is of great worth to God, who cares about every area of our life. Nothing, then, will happen to the disciple, even death, outside of God’s infinite knowledge, love, and care. And since God has the keys, as it were, of heaven and hell, death can only usher the disciple into His presence. What need, then, to fear men, and to try to be a hypocrite? To learn more about the importance of fearing God in reverent love and practicing sincere faith, listen in.

Message: Precious In His Sight (Luke 12:4-6)

We are all recovering hypocrites, intentionally or unintentionally. That ought to humble us, make us reluctant to judge others (Matt. 7:1-5), and make us examine our hearts and our motives. Hypocrisy is like Yeast. It works gradually, almost invisibly, slowly spreading through the entire dough. It is not easy for us to identify it or to resist it. In fact this hypocrisy offers (false) comfort, (false) assurance, (false) confidence, (false) authority, and (false) belonging. Yeast is a single cell living organism in the fungus kingdom. Jesus is warning his Church of A little hypocrisy in the local church that is contagious. Groups can often build their identity on something hypocritical. Things like “bitterness, anger, fear, and even a victim mentality” are all forms of yeast that can spread through a batch of people. Disconnection, division, and discontent are all evidence of spreading hypocrisy. To hear more, click on the video.

Message: Yeast of the Pharisees (Luke 12:1-5)

The Kingdom of God is not just a matter of talk, but a display of its power (1 Cor 4:20). The Bible records a demonstration of such truth as Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray in a way that would position their lives to be reflectors (like mirrors) of the kingdom. His instruction to them on prayer could be summed up in one statement, “…seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you” (Mt 6:33). Next, the crowds witness a display of the power of the kingdom as Jesus cast a demon out of man by which it deprived of the power of speech. In response to such encroachment on Satan domain, he uses people to slander Jesus……….to discredit him……….to distort the undeniable witness of God’s work as they accuse him, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons” (v15). Like last week sermon, we will further explore Jesus’ response to these accusations as he now highlights the present reality of the Kingdom that lays siege, tears down the walls, takes power and captures the goods of Satan’s fortress (domain).
