Gospel of the Kingdom: A Kingdom Divided Against Itself (Matt. 12:22-28)
Wellspring Church DFW
In this message from Matthew 12:22-28, we witness the dramatic collision of two opposing kingdoms when Jesus heals a demon-oppressed man who was both blind and mute. The crowds recognized this as the work of the promised Messiah, the Son of David, but the Pharisees, unable to deny the supernatural power, accused Jesus of operating by demonic authority. Jesus responds with devastating logic: “If Satan casts out Satan, his kingdom cannot stand.” This sermon unpacks the critical difference between the temporary relief offered by pre-Jesus spiritual practices (like burning incense or speaking...

Gospel of the Kingdom: God's Chosen Servant (Matt. 12:15-21)
Wellspring Church DFW
In this message from Matthew 12:15-21 and Mark 3:7-11, we explore the character, purpose, and method of Jesus as the ultimate leader—and contrast it with the toxic leadership patterns plaguing the modern church. As Jesus withdrew from the Pharisees’ conspiracy, healed multitudes (including Gentiles from distant lands), and commanded silence about His miracles, He fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy of a gentle, lowly servant who would not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick. Jesus grew His ministry through love, humility, truth, and self-sacrifice—not through self-promotion,...

Gospel of the Kingdom: The Man with the Withered Hand (Matt. 12:9-14)
Wellspring Church DFW
In this sobering message from Matthew 12:9-14, we witness the moment the Pharisees cross the line from opposition to murderous conspiracy against Jesus—all because He healed a man on the Sabbath. By asking, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath?” Jesus exposed their hardness of heart and demonstrated that He is indeed Lord of the Sabbath. But the healing itself isn’t the main point; it’s a sign of God’s love and a confrontation of idolatry. The Pharisees valued their rules over people, their sheep over the sheep of God’s flock, and their religious system over the Messiah...

Gospel of the Kingdom: The Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:1-8)
Wellspring Church DFW
In this message from Matthew 12:1-8, we explore one of the most controversial moments in Jesus’ ministry: when He declared Himself “Lord of the Sabbath.” The Pharisees had turned God’s gift of rest into a crushing burden, and when Jesus’ disciples plucked grain on the Sabbath, the religious leaders were outraged. But Jesus responds with brilliant theological precision, showing that he is greater than the Sabbath. His claim wasn’t just about religious freedom—it was a declaration of His divinity, and it’s what turned the Pharisees from opponents into murderers. But this passage...

Gospel of the Kingdom: Come To Me All Who Labor (Matt. 11:25-30)
Wellspring Church DFW
In this encouraging message from Matthew 11:25-30, we explore one of Jesus’ greatest invitations: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” After pronouncing judgment on cities that refused to repent, Jesus reveals the heart of the Father—a God who hides spiritual truth from the proud and “wise,” but reveals it to the humble and childlike. Drawing from Proverbs 30 and the wisdom literature, we see that human understanding often rejects the ways of God, but those who come to Jesus weary and worn out will find rest for their souls. This sermon...

info_outlineIn this final message of our Practical Freedom Ministry series, we tackle the complex topic of inner healing, trauma, and emotional wounds. Drawing from neuroscience, clinical psychology, and biblical truth, we discover how trauma causes parts of our brain to “split off” and remain stuck in fight-or-flight mode—even years after the event. When triggered, people don’t just remember trauma; they relive it with their entire body, often making decisions from a wounded place that their rational mind would never choose. But here’s the hope: the gospel of Jesus brings healing even to the most broken parts of our soul. Learn how to minister to yourself and others by acknowledging the pain, sharing the good news of Christ, and inviting traumatized parts to rest in the safety of God’s love. Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself or want to help others find freedom, this message offers both biblical insight and practical tools for deep, lasting healing.
