The Wells We Inherit

We talk about "digging another well" to sustain our faith in the dry seasons. But what does that even look like? Pastor Barbie gives a practical demonstration of what it looks like for her to "dig a well" from Scripture, some of the tools she uses, and some of the things God's highlighted to her as she prepared for this week's sermon. You don't have to be a Bible scholar. She shows how honest questions, some tools, and the help of the Holy Spirit lead her on a journey to find out what God is saying. Digging a spiritual well means creating room to accept, notice, and share God’s blessings. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 1:1, 27:26-29, 27:38-39, 49:25; Exodus 16:11-15; Numbers 6:24–26; Deuteronomy 28:6, 33:13-16; 1 Kings 19:11-15; Hosea 14:5; Psalm 30:5, 139:5 Key Insights You can start digging spiritual “wells” using practical study steps, no matter your experience God’s blessing often appears quietly and is always available, even if unrecognized at first Generational blessing means faith practices today will impact future family and community Spiritual resources are accessible—take time to seek, question, and write down what stands out Blessings spoken over your life are meant to be received, declared, and passed on Resources: Strong’s Concordance (online and physical) Bible Gateway Blue Letter Bible EliYah Key Sections 00:00:00 - Getting Started Pastor Barbie shares why she is approaching the sermon this way. 00:02:47 - Gathering Study Tools To dig a well, you need some tools. Pastor Barbie shares her toolkit. 00:05:22 - Unpacking Heaven’s Dew Heaven's dew shows how God’s provision is quiet yet always present, connected all the way back to creation. We can learn to listen for God’s voice in subtle ways. 00:10:46 - God’s Gentle Approach The gentle, unexpected arrival of dew is like God’s voice to Elijah. It shows that God usually helps and leads us in calm, daily ways instead of in loud, dramatic times. It allows us to see His presence in our everyday lives. 00:16:37 - Recognizing God’s Provision Like the manna in Exodus, God's help is often hidden and that we find what we need when we trust Him. She reminds us to write down times when God gives us what we need in surprising ways. 00:20:23 - Experiencing Earth’s Richness Pastor Barbie talks about "earth’s richness" and explains that God’s abundance is available to everyone. She gives biblical examples where blessings were given or taken away. She encourages us to see that spiritual inheritance can be passed down to the next generation. 00:26:16 - Passing Down the Blessing See how Moses wove his story into a blessing. Speaking blessings over others brings life and faith. This leads to a call to give, receive, and live blessings as a part of our lives now and for the future. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/the-wells-we-inherit Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006
