Welcome to Wellspring Church! How should we think about our work? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters continues our journey through Deuteronomy by exploring how chapters 12–26 shape our understanding of work—not as a necessary evil or an idol, but as a sacred calling. God’s Word reveals a compelling vision of work rooted in love and listening. Instead of compartmentalizing our jobs and our faith, Scripture calls us to see our work as worship, formation, and redemption. 📖 Key Themes in This M...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! In this message, Bishop Thad Barnum reminds us that we don’t live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Drawing from Deuteronomy, he shows that Scripture is never meant to be lifeless ink on a page—the Word becomes alive only when the Holy Spirit breathes through it. When the Spirit enlivens the Word, it does more than inform us—it transforms us. God’s Word, spoken and alive, feeds our souls, shapes our hearts, and draws us deeper in...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What heals the world? Pastor Billy Waters led us into Deuteronomy 6 with this question, reminding us that true healing doesn’t come from political programs, policies, or human achievement—it comes from God’s kingdom. When heaven meets earth through Jesus’ reign, all that is broken will be restored. In this message, we were called to consider our role as God’s covenant people. Israel didn’t conquer the nations with armies or influence, but by living as a people wh...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! Today, Pastor Katie Gayle is beginning a brand-new sermon series called Listen and Love. This series takes us through the book of Deuteronomy, where Moses speaks to the second generation of Israel, standing on the edge of the promised land. He calls them to do what their parents had failed to do: to truly listen to God and to love Him wholeheartedly. 📖 Key Themes in This Message: 🔹 God is a speaking God, and His people are meant to be a listening people 🔹 L...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! This Celebration Sunday—also known as Vision Sunday—Pastor Billy Waters preached from Matthew 28 on the Great Commission. He reminded us that Jesus’ command to “make disciples of all nations” is not optional but the central calling of the Church. Programs, praise, and property are good gifts, but without true discipleship, we miss the heart of our mission. Looking to Psalm 1 and Jesus’ parables, Pastor Billy emphasized that deep roots in God’s Word and presence a...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! This week, Pastor David Norris returned from sabbatical and preached on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18. Jesus tells this story “to some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else.” The Pharisee prayed about himself, proud of his good deeds. The tax collector, however, stood at a distance, beat his chest, and pleaded, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” 📖 Key Themes in This Message: 🔹 How self-righte...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! In this week’s message, Pastor Katie Gayle continued our journey through the parables of Jesus, looking at the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21. Here, Jesus confronts the religious leaders who struggled to accept His authority and shows that true obedience is revealed not by words, but by repentance and transformed lives. Katie reminded us that the gospel is not about proving our worth through performance or rule-following. Neither son in the parable got it ...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! How do we live faithfully when the world pushes back? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters continues our Parables of Jesus series with the story of the persistent widow from Luke 18:1–8. This parable calls us to persevere when we experience resistance—whether social, spiritual, or personal—not by striving harder, but by crying out to our Father in prayer. Pastor Billy reminds us that God is not like the unjust judge; He is just, loving, merciful, and near. The qu...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What has captured your heart? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle unpacks the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31), inviting us to examine what we value most—and how those values shape our eternity. Through the lens of a road trip with her son and a surprisingly average candy bar, Pastor Katie highlights how the world makes bold promises that ultimately leave us disappointed. Jesus offers something far better: the riches of His Kingdom, which canno...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What does it mean to be ready for the return of Christ? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters unpacks the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1–13), showing that Jesus’ second coming isn’t an irrelevant distant event but the most hope-filled and transformative reality we can prepare for. Jesus calls us to readiness in three ways: intimacy with Him, holiness of life, and mission to the world. Like the wise virgins who kept oil in their lamps, we must remain devo...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! How far will God go to bring us home? In this message, Pastor Tara Maloof walks us through the parable of the prodigal sons, revealing how Jesus retells the whole story of Scripture through this familiar but radical tale. With vivid storytelling and a powerful modern illustration, Tara helps us see that Luke 15 isn’t just about a rebellious younger son—it’s about two lost sons, one obvious and one hidden, and a Father whose unrelenting love goes out to both. 📖 Ke...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! How do we take the values of the Kingdom and bring them into our everyday lives? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters walks us through the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, inviting us to see with the eyes of compassion and respond to need, even when it’s inconvenient or costly. Rooted in the vision of seeing the Kingdom of God here as it is in heaven, this message calls us to live out the values of Jesus in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and relationship...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What does it mean to be converted not just in heart and mind—but in how we handle money? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to take seriously the call to radical generosity by grounding our giving in the very character of God. Looking at Matthew 25 and 2 Corinthians 9, we see that generosity isn’t just a good idea—it’s part of discipleship. The Triune God is a God who gives: the Father, Son, and Spirit glorifying and pouring into one another. We’re m...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What happens when greed quietly slips into our hearts—and even our churches? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters explores one of Jesus’ most sobering parables in Luke 12, calling us to wake up to the hidden power of greed and the joy of gospel generosity. While most sins are visible and easily confessed, greed hides in plain sight. Pastor Billy unpacks how our culture of abundance distorts our view of what we need—and how Jesus confronts that with truth and grac...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What is the nature of God’s Kingdom? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters explores Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22—and what it reveals about the exclusive and inclusive grace of God. Looking at the extravagant invitation extended by the King and the varied responses it receives, we see that grace is freely given—but not always accepted. Grace welcomes everyone, yet it requires humility to receive. 📖 Key Themes in This Message: 🔹 Why grace, not m...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! Who is the Kingdom of God for? This week, Pastor Katie Gayle brings us to Matthew 21 and the Parable of the Tenants to explore Jesus’ provocative answer. As Jesus nears the cross, his final teachings zero in on authority—his own authority as King, and how people respond to it. Through this parable and its surrounding context, we discover a clear call: the Kingdom of God is not inherited by position or appearance, but received through surrender and lived out in fr...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! What is the Kingdom of God really worth? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters helps us see how the gospel calls us to recognize, treasure and pursue what matters most—even when the Kingdom feels hidden or ordinary. Looking at Matthew 13:44–46, Billy unpacks two brief parables of treasure and pearls. One man stumbles upon it, the other searches—but both give up everything in joy to have it. So what does it mean to live that way? 📖 Key Themes in This Message: 🔹 ...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! In this message, Pastor Billy Waters continues our summer series on the parables of Jesus by exploring the Kingdom of God through the lens of forgiveness. Drawing from Matthew 18:21–35, we’re reminded that nothing welcomes God’s presence like forgiveness—and nothing drives it away like unforgiveness. Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant shows that the Kingdom is built on mercy, not merit. We who have been forgiven an immeasurable debt are called to extend th...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! Why does Pentecost matter? In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Billy Waters explores what it means to be truly filled with the Holy Spirit—and why that changes everything for the Church. Turning to John 20 rather than Acts 2, we discover that the Holy Spirit is not an optional extra for Christians; he is the very breath of life that animates us. Without him, we are lifeless vessels. With him, we are filled, empowered and sent. 📖 Key Themes in This M...
Welcome to Wellspring Church! Why does grace offend us? In this week’s message, Dr. Mark Young unpacks the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20) to show how Jesus’ teaching about the Kingdom of God upends everything we assume about fairness, worth and reward. Through a rich explanation of the parable’s context, we see that the landowner’s generosity—paying all workers the same wage regardless of hours worked—wasn’t unjust, it was grace. This kind of grace doesn’t play by the wor...
