In this new study, we will delve into Jesus' most common method of teaching - the parables. Today, we see the need to be careful in how we hear as well as an explanation of why different people respond so differently to the Word of God.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What kind of soil is your heart? On this Mother's Day, Pastor Billy Waters reflects on Jesus' Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13), inviting us to examine how we receive the message of the kingdom—and what fruit our lives are bearing as a result.Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God doesn't always come with grandeur. It arrives like a seed—small, unseen, yet full of generative power. Whether it flourishes or fades depends on the posture of our hearts.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!Why did Jesus speak in parables? In this message, Bishop Thad Barnum launches our new teaching series by diving deep into that question, guiding us through Matthew 13 and Isaiah 6 to reveal the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.Jesus draws a dividing line—not between good and bad people, but between those who hear and those who cannot. Through stories, He reveals the heart of the Father and the invitation to a kingdom that is not of this world, calling us to repentance, faith, and a whole new way of seeing.

Lesson 8 - Stories About Waiting … Understanding God's PromiseJesus told two final parables in the days before His death on Calvary — the Parable of the Tenants and the Parable of the Ten Virgins. He warned the religious leaders about what happened to the workers who rejected and ultimately killed their master's son. And He warned His disciples about what was going to happen to Him and how they needed to live until they saw Him again. They were strong words for days when strength was going to be needed.

Lesson 7 - Stories About Treasure … Understanding God's Economy Jesus had a lot to say about wealth, but it wasn't what people expected. Today's parables feature two rich men who had everything the world could offer. One foolishly tore down his own barns to make room for more. The other ignored the suffering beggar at his gate, though he knew him by name. Jesus had stern words for those who trusted in their riches and misused them for selfish gains.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com

Send us a textIn this episode of Viewpoints, Pastor Jordan Voyles and Pastor Shawn Williams dive into the parable of the Lost Son from Luke 15, focusing on the often-overlooked perspective of the older brother. They discuss how both sons misunderstood the goodness of their father and how this parable speaks to everyone—whether we identify with the rebellious younger son or the self-righteous older brother. What does it truly mean to accept God's grace, and how can we celebrate what heaven celebrates? Tune in for an insightful conversation on God's love, forgiveness, and the next steps we can take in our faith journey.

In this week's message, we explore how Jesus used parables—simple, surprising, and often unsettling stories—to open our eyes to a radically different way of living under God's reign by focusing on The Prodigal Son and The Good Samaritan. These timeless stories reveal the extravagant mercy of God—and challenge us to extend that same mercy to others, even those we might find difficult to love.

Send us a textIn this special episode of Viewpoints, Jesse Casto sits down with Associate Pastor Shawn Williams to explore the powerful parable of the Prodigal Son. Focusing on the younger son's journey, they discuss the dangers of chasing false freedom, the consequences of straying from God's path, and the grace-filled love of the Father that calls us home. Whether you've faced your own "rock bottom" moment or are seeking a deeper understanding of God's mercy, this conversation offers encouragement and wisdom for the journey back to Him. Join us as we unpack this timeless story from Luke 15.

Lesson 6 - Stories About Asking … Understanding God's HeartThe disciples knew that Jesus didn't pray like the Pharisees and they observed the result in His life and ministry. They sensed that He was truly connected to His Father in heaven and they wanted to experience that for themselves — so they asked that He teach them to pray. They had no idea how much they would soon need the lessons He gave them.To learn more about Michele or to support this international ministry please visit https://intheword.com
