Welcome to Wellspring Church!What does it mean to stand at the foot of the cross? In this Good Friday message, Billy Waters invites us to slow down and behold Jesus—not as an idea, but as the suffering King who willingly gave himself for the life of the world.Looking at the crucifixion narrative, we see that the cross is not an accident or a tragedy outside of God’s control—it is the very center of his redemptive plan. Jesus is not overpowered; he is offering himself in love. In his suffering, we see both the weight of sin and the depth of God’s mercy. Good Friday confronts us with the reality that our sin is costly, but also that God’s love is greater still.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 The cross as the place where justice and mercy meet🔹 Jesus’ willing sacrifice—not taken from him, but freely given🔹 The invitation to behold, not rush past, the weight of Good Friday🔹 How the death of Jesus reshapes our understanding of love, power, and salvationThis is not a day to skip ahead to resurrection. It is a day to sit in the tension, to recognize the cost, and to receive the gift. At the cross, we see the fullness of God’s love poured out—and we are invited to respond with humility, repentance, and awe.Relevant Scripture references: Isaiah 53; John 18–19; Luke 23:44–46; Hebrews 9:22; 1 Peter 2:24.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!

Good Friday :: 4/3/26 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!On this Maundy Thursday, Max Melchert invites us into the sacred tension of the upper room—a night marked by humility, love, and the beginning of Jesus’ journey to the cross. As Jesus gathers with his disciples, he redefines what power looks like, not through control or status, but through self-giving love.In washing his disciples’ feet, Jesus doesn’t just model servant leadership—he reveals the very heart of God. The King kneels. The Teacher serves. And in doing so, he calls his followers into a new way of life shaped by humility, surrender, and love for one another.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 Jesus redefines greatness through humility and service🔹 The significance of foot washing as both symbol and calling🔹 Love as the defining mark of Jesus’ followers🔹 The invitation to receive Jesus’ love before we attempt to give itMaundy Thursday reminds us that before the cross, there is a table—and at that table, Jesus offers himself fully. We are not only called to remember this love, but to embody it, laying down our pride and taking up the posture of a servant.Relevant Scripture references: John 13:1-17, John 13:34-35, Luke 22:19-20, Philippians 2:3-8.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!

Maundy Thursday :: 4/2/26 :: Max Melchert

Welcome to Wellspring ChurchOn this Palm Sunday, Billy Waters invites us to see Jesus not just as a distant King, but as the humble, saving King who comes close—full of grace, mercy, and invitation. As the crowds once cried “Hosanna,” we’re reminded that their cry—“Save us”—is still our cry today.Through this message, we see that Jesus doesn’t come to drive people away, but to draw them in. He meets us in our brokenness, our struggles, and our need—and responds with compassion rather than rejection.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 The meaning of “Hosanna” as a cry for salvation—and how it still shapes our faith today🔹 Jesus as the meek and gracious King who comes to save, not condemn🔹 The invitation to bring our whole lives before him—our struggles, sin, and unresolved pain🔹 Responding to Jesus through surrender to his lordship and receiving his graceBilly highlights that our response to Jesus matters. We are invited to submit to his lordship and to receive the grace he freely offers—grace he delights to give even more than we are ready to receive.As we enter Holy Week, we’re called to recognize who Jesus truly is: a King who brings salvation through humility, and who welcomes us to come to him just as we are.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!

Spirit-Led Lent :: 3/22/26 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What happens when we truly grasp who we are in Christ? In this message, we explore how identity, power, and mission are meant to go together. When Jesus emerged from his Spirit-led time of fasting, he stepped into ministry filled with the Spirit—and clear about his identity as the Son of God. In the same way, followers of Jesus are invited to live from the same pattern: knowing who we are, walking in the Spirit’s power, and joining God’s mission in the world.Looking at Luke 4 and Jesus’ announcement of his ministry, we see that God’s people are not spectators in God’s work. We are participants. Jesus reveals a God who sends—Father sending the Son, and the Father and Son sending the Spirit. Created in his image, we too are a people sent into the world.📖 Key Themes in This Message:🔹 How identity, power, and mission are inseparable in the life of Jesus🔹 Why stepping away from God’s mission can cause us to lose clarity about who we are🔹 Jesus’ declaration of good news for the poor, freedom for captives, and healing for the broken🔹 Expecting great things from God and attempting great things for GodJesus’ mission reveals the heart of God: bringing restoration, freedom, and hope to a hurting world. As we follow him, we discover that our identity as children of God is not just something we believe—it’s something we live out by joining his work.📅 Join us this week at Wellspring Church!
