LifeSpring Wolverhampton Messages

In this message from Judges 14, Pastor Tony shares a powerful and honest look at how God works through the battles we face in life.Using the story of Samson, we see how what looks like conflict, confusion, or even chaos can actually be part of God’s greater purpose. When Samson is attacked by a lion, the Spirit of the Lord empowers him to overcome but the story doesn’t end there. Later, from the very place of struggle comes unexpected sweetness: honey from the carcass of the lion.“Out of the eater came something to eat; out of the strong came something sweet.”This message reminds us that there is often a hidden blessing in every battle, something the enemy doesn’t understand. God doesn’t just bring us through difficulties; He uses them to grow us, strengthen us, and lead us into a new dimension.Are we so focused on the crisis that we miss Christ in the middle of it?Listen now to discover how God can bring sweetness out of even your hardest moments.

What if your life is shaped by a vision from heaven?In this message, Pastor Tony shares three powerful principles that can transform the way you live, starting with the power of a heavenly vision.Looking at Acts 26:19, we see Paul recounting his encounter with Jesus before King Agrippa. It was this moment that gave his life direction, purpose, and unshakable conviction.God has a purpose for your life too but are you living with that vision in mind?Listen now to discover how a God-given vision can change everything.

What is the will of God for your life? Where should we serve? What should we do?Pastor John explores 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the three simple but powerful commands: rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances - for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.Storms in life are unavoidable, but we can choose how we position ourselves within them.How can we remain joyful in every situation?Listen now to discover a perspective that changes everything.

We all face storms and trials in life but what if some of them are part of how Jesus grows us?Pastor John explores Matthew 14:22-33, where Jesus turns away from a moment of public acclaim after feeding the 5,000. Instead of embracing the crowd’s desire to make Him king, He sends His disciples ahead in a boat and withdraws to pray.Why would Jesus send His followers into a storm and what does it mean for us today?Listen now to discover the purpose behind the storm.

In our Easter Sunday Family Service this week, Pastor Tony Wastall explores Luke 24, where Jesus walks alongside two travellers leaving Jerusalem, their hearts heavy with sadness after His death.At the end of the day, as they sit down to eat, Jesus reveals Himself to them and everything changes.

Pastor Stephen Eaves from Ark Community Church in Sutton Coldfield joins us this week with a powerful message about testing and perseverance.After surviving a serious car accident when his son was just nine months old, Steve’s instinct was immediate; rescue, protect, and get his family to safety. It’s a reminder of something deeply human: Our instinct to protect the ones we love, especially our children.In this episode, Pastor Steve explores the story of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22, where Abraham is called by God to sacrifice his beloved son. It’s a challenging and emotional passage that reveals the depth of Abraham’s faith and devotion.What was God really asking of Abraham and what does it mean for us today?Listen now to discover the powerful truth behind this story.

God wants us all to stretch and grow our trust in Him. Pastor John brings a word focused on two stories from the Bible: Of Abraham & Isaac in Genesis 22, and of the rich young ruler from Mark 10:17 to explain how delayed obedience is still disobedience.

Pastor Tony takes a look at how important praise is in our lives by taking a look at the story of Paul and Silas in prison in Acts 16. Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God at midnight and all the doors in the prison were opened. The Roman prison guard who saw the power of God in this moment was terrified he'd be in trouble but Paul and Silas reassured him.Praise sometimes behaves like prayer because it is not confined by you just giving your words to God. Praise breaks strongholds and releases the power of God. Praise is not the prelude to the real meat of a Sunday morning meeting! It has power all on its own and is significant.

'Worship' has become a music genre and an industry; something to monetise and make a career out of, but the Bible says different. Pastor John continues his series on worship with a look at multiple verses throughout scripture to find out what God really wants our worship to look like.

What is true worship and how do we protect it?Worship has become a music genre and more about us than it is about God. Recently an AI-generated song made it to the top of the charts in the 'worship' category for 2 weeks! We have become removed from the heart of what God meant worship to be.Pastor John Blackah brings a message from Genesis 22 where the first mention of the word 'worship' is in the Bible. The account of Abraham and Isaac, where Abraham is willing to sacrifice his only son and Isaac lays his life on the altar is powerful symbolism for Jesus Christ years later, where God sacrifices his only son so that we may be made clean.True worship has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Him.

Pastor Tony Wastall brings a message on the power of prayer this week with a focus on Luke 6:12, and Luke 18. Jesus still does the same things today that he did when he walked the earth. There's no drug or alcohol addiction, physical or mental illness, ailment or otherwise that is too big for Jesus. We struggle with prayer, because we often cannot see results in the physical realm until we prevail, but the reason we pray is so that we don't loose heart.God is restoring and raising up in our nation a new prayer movement, and LifeSpring Church is a house of prayer!

Life can feel overwhelming with family, jobs, finances and everything else we've got going on. Pastor John Blackah brings a message focusing on the story of King Hezekiah from Isaiah 36 & 37 to help us understand how to position and posture ourselves in order to receive our breakthrough.

Pastor Karla Blackah digs into John 15:4-8 this week to explain how Father God is the gardener, Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. We can thrive when we are connected to Jesus as the vine and just as a branch needs a vine for life, we need to be fully dependant on Him. Abiding means to stay, to dwell or to remain. Learn how to enjoy the presence of God in your life and press deeper into all He has for you by listening along.

Father of the house, Tony Wastall brings a message on all the different kinds of prayer that exist within the Bible. With a look at Ephesians 6:11-18, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Nehemiah 1:1-11 and Ezekiel 22:26-30, Tony explains; praise and worship as intimacy with the Father, prayers of petition for stating your case before God, supplication for when you are emotionally involved for a breakthrough, decrees for commanding something to happen and intercession for when you stand in the gap on behalf of someone else.There is a call on us right now and it's not trivial. The nation of the UK is experiencing waves of transformation and LifeSpring Church is standing with Turn the Battle UK for revival!

Listen to hear a breakdown of each line of The Lord's Prayer and how we can be seated at the right hand of the Father.

Pastor John Blackah looks at the story of the Wise Men from Matthew 2:1-12, landing on their devotion to the Lord and their volcanic expression of worship upon hearing the King is born.There are three groups of 'wise' people in this passage:King Herod who was petrified at the news Christ was born and responded with fear which leaked into the city of Jerusalem.The Chief Priests who advised Herod and were able to discern what the signs meant, but didn't act.The visiting Magi who saw the star and rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. They bought their treasures to the city and caused a scene, scaring King Herod.Who in the story do you want to be like? John encourages us to position ourselves as a wise man and worship the only one who is Holy. Don't go into 2026 the same way you were in 2025.

Father of the house Tony Wastall unpacks Isaiah 9:6-7, giving us three ways Jesus came to be the Prince of Peace. In a troubled world of turmoil, Jesus didn't come as a political leader, but rather as our peace over anxiety, our fears and our sin. Tony explains how social media has accelerated the epidemic of anxiety, biblical figures obeyed and actioned the will of God despite their fear, and we cannot ignore the sin issue in every man, woman and child on earth regardless of whether we are followers of Jesus or not. Will you make room for Jesus? Will you open your heart to Him? Listen now to find out how to experience true peace in Jesus Christ.
