Spirit-Led Lent :: 3/1/26 :: Katie Gayle

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What shapes what we believe? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle, Executive Pastor of Ministry, invites us to consider how easily our hearts are formed by the rhythms, stories, and assumptions of the world around us—and how Lent calls us to something deeper.Looking at the journey of Jesus and the invitation to communion with God, we see that faith is not just agreement with ideas but abiding relationship. In a culture of distraction and self-definition, Jesus draws us back to the quiet, steady life of prayer, repentance, and dependence on the Father.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 How our habits and attention shape our loves🔹 Why Lent is an invitation to deeper communion, not just self-denial🔹 The difference between knowing about God and walking with Him🔹 Learning to abide in Christ in the ordinary, daily momentsLent reminds us that we are not self-made people. We are formed by what we worship. As we slow down, repent, and return to Jesus, we discover that true life is found not in striving, but in abiding.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!

Spirit-Led Lent :: 2/22/26 :: Kyle Stanton

Welcome to Wellspring Church!As we enter the season of Lent, Pastor Kyle Stanton invites us to see the wilderness not as the destination, but as the path. The goal is deeper communion with God. Looking at Jesus’ baptism in Luke 3 and His temptations in the wilderness, we’re reminded that before Jesus did anything, He was affirmed by the Father and filled with the Spirit.Jesus faced real temptations—to be self-sufficient, to be spectacular, and to seize power—but He resisted them by resting in the Father’s voice. In the same way, Lent becomes a season where our false voices are stripped away so we can hear the one true Word God speaks over us.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 The wilderness as a pathway to deeper communion with God🔹 Jesus’ baptism as the foundation for resisting temptation🔹 The temptations to be spectacular, powerful, and self-reliant🔹 Lent as a season to quiet competing voices and rediscover the Father’s affirmationBefore we strive, achieve, or prove ourselves, we belong to the Father. The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ, reminding us that everything we need—wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption—is found in Him. Lent invites us to live from that identity, not for it.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church! Looking to grow deeper in your faith?

Ash Wednesday :: 2/18/26 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What does it mean to remember that we are dust—and yet deeply loved? In this Ash Wednesday message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us into the sobering and hopeful journey of Lent, where we face our mortality, our sin, and our need for grace.Ash Wednesday confronts us with the truth we often avoid: we are finite, fragile, and in need of repentance. Yet the ashes traced in the shape of a cross remind us that even in our brokenness, we belong to Jesus. The call to “remember” is not meant to shame us, but to awaken us—to turn our hearts back to the Father who is rich in mercy.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 The gift of honest repentance in a culture of distraction🔹 Remembering our mortality as a pathway to wisdom🔹 Why confession leads to freedom, not condemnation🔹 Entering Lent as a season of surrender, renewal, and hopeLent is not about self-improvement or spiritual performance. It is about returning—again and again—to the One who formed us from dust and breathes new life into weary souls. As we walk toward the cross, we do so with humility, trust, and confidence in Christ’s redeeming love.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church! Looking to grow deeper in your faith?

Liturgy :: 2/15/26 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this powerful Sunday, Pastor Billy Waters preached on the meaning and promise of baptism, weaving together Scripture and story to remind us that baptism is far more than a symbol—it is a participation in the death and resurrection of Jesus.Looking at Colossians 2:12–15, Billy unpacked what it means to be “buried with Christ in baptism” and raised with Him through faith. Baptism points to a new life in Christ, a decisive break with the old, and the reality that we now walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not only going down into the waters and coming back up—it is stepping into a new identity, a new promise, and a new power.This truth comes alive in a special testimony at the end of the sermon. Baptism is not just a church event, but a response to God’s personal work in our lives.Together, the message and testimony reminded us that baptism marks the beginning of a transformed life—raised with Christ, forgiven, and empowered to walk in freedom.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 Buried with Christ and raised to new life through faith🔹 Baptism as a sign of God’s promise and our new identity🔹 The power of the Holy Spirit at work in believers🔹 Responding in obedience when God stirs our heartsBaptism is more than a moment—it is a declaration that Jesus has won the victory, and we now live in that victory. As we remember our own baptism, we are invited again to walk in the fullness of the new life He has given us.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church! Looking to grow deeper in your faith?

Liturgy :: 2/8/26 :: Dr. Mark Young

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What does the liturgy send us into? In this message, Dr. Mark Young reflects on how the rhythms of worship don’t end at the dismissal—they form and send us as God’s people into the world.Drawing on the shape of the liturgy and the story of God’s movement toward the world, we’re reminded that worship is not an escape from mission but the very thing that prepares us for it. From confession and forgiveness to communion and sending, God is continually forming a faithful people who live as witnesses to Christ while we wait and anticipate His fullness.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 How the liturgy forms us over time, not all at once🔹 Why waiting and anticipation are active, faithful postures🔹 The connection between worship and God’s mission in the world🔹 Being sent as witnesses shaped by grace, not effortFaithfulness isn’t about getting it all right—it’s about being shaped, again and again, by God’s gracious movement toward us, and then carried outward in love and service.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!
