Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters kicks off our new sermon series, Liturgy, by inviting us to slow down and ask an important question: Why do we worship the way we do? Rather than treating our Sunday service as a collection of habits or preferences, this sermon helps us see liturgy as a formative gift—one that shapes us over time into people who love God rightly.Pastor Billy shares both Scripture and personal story to show that liturgy isn't about being rigid or old-fashioned. It's about being re-formed, week after week, by practices that root us in God's story, train our hearts toward worship, and keep us anchored in His presence.

As Mission Church closes 2025 and looks toward 2026, Pastor Billy shares a vulnerable and hope-filled state of the church. Reflecting on grief, growth, renewed vision, and the global work of God, this episode calls us back to a simple truth: the church is built not by human strength, but by the Spirit of God. Rooted in Zechariah 4:6, we pray together—seeking dependence, repentance, faithful stewardship, and a renewed posture of mission for the days ahead.This sermon was preached at Mission Church — a church in Morganton, North Carolina in the heart of Burke County.Join us in person on Sundays, 10 AM221 Herron St.Morganton NC, 28655

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to linger in the heart of the Christmas story and carry its truth forward: God is with us.Centered on Matthew 1:18–23, this sermon reminds us that the incarnation is not just something we celebrate once a year—it is the defining reality of our lives. In Jesus, God does not remain distant or abstract; He comes near, dwelling with His people in real, embodied ways.Pastor Billy weaves together Scripture, reflection, and wisdom from the Church to show that God's presence is not passive. God desires to be known, welcomed, and wanted, and His nearness reshapes how we live, listen, and respond.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us into the tension and beauty of the Fourth Sunday of Advent by turning to the surprising ending of the book of Jonah. Rather than a neat resolution, Jonah 4 leaves us with a question—one that exposes our hearts and God's expansive mercy.Jonah is angry that God shows compassion to Nineveh, and God gently confronts him: Is it right for you to be angry?Through this exchange, we see how easy it is to celebrate God's grace for ourselves while resisting it for others. Advent, Pastor Billy reminds us, prepares us not just to receive Jesus, but to be transformed by the wideness of His mercy.

Pastor Billy speaks from John 12

El fuego del Espíritu Santo nos habilita para hacer toda buena obra.

Dios nos llamo a expandir su reino. Debemos predicar el evangelio a tiempo y fuera de tiempo, con nuestras acciones y dando a conocer su palabra.

El Espíritu Santo nos habilita para hablar la verdad y compartir el evangelio a toda criatura.

Este mensaje nos enseña que a la luz de Dios son reveladas nuestras verdaderas intensiones.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!On this first Sunday of Advent, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to begin the season with a heart check—not merely preparing for Christmas, but preparing our hearts for the second coming of Christ. Walking through Jonah 1, he shows how the prophet's reluctance exposes the gap between knowing God's heart and actually sharing it with the world.Jonah is called to preach to Nineveh, a violent enemy of Israel, yet he runs—fast and far. Not out of simple fear, Pastor Billy explains, but because Jonah knows God is merciful… and he doesn't want that mercy extended to people he considers undeserving. Even still, God's mercy moves relentlessly: toward pagans, toward enemies, toward stubborn prophets who would rather drown than obey.

What does it really mean to love Jesus? On the shores of Galilee, Jesus asked Peter this very question. Love for Christ is more than a feeling. It is the foundation of obedience, sacrifice, and spiritual purpose. You don't want to miss this message as Pastor Billy invites us to let love lead every part of your walk with Christ.

Matthew 7:24-27  24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But […]

Welcome to Wellspring Church!As we come to the end of our long journey through Deuteronomy, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to consider a crucial question: What happens when we wander from God's ways—and how does God bring us back? In this final message of the series, he explores the heart of spiritual renewal and the deep mercy of a God who restores, reforms, and revives His people.Walking through the final section of Deuteronomy, Pastor Billy shows that renewal isn't abstract or mystical—it's God's gracious process of bringing His people from death back into life. Personal renewal awakens us to God's love. Restoration begins to rebuild what sin has torn down. And formation reshapes the very structures of our hearts until Christ is at the center again.Along the way, Pastor Billy shares stories from a recent visit to churches in West Oahu—dilapidated buildings filled with vibrant faith, teenagers encountering hope for the first time, and communities being changed not from the outside in, but from the inside out. Renewal always starts with God stirring hearts.

Este mensaje nos enseña que existen caos visibles y otros que nos son ocultos. La luz de Dios ilumina lo que vemos y también lo que esta oculto en nuestro interior.

In this message, Billy Bodette continues the Set Apart series with a challenging word on living a consecrated life in the face of persecution. Drawing from the book of Zephaniah, he warns against the danger of complacency, a heart that no longer seeks God or depends on Him. Pastor Billy reminds us that God isn't after outward sacrifice but a broken and humble heart that He can heal and restore. The message calls believers to examine where they've grown comfortable, choose surrender over self, and live fully devoted lives marked by the fruit of the Spirit. When persecution comes, will we be found complacent—or consecrated?

In this episode of In The Room, the conversation dives deeper into what it truly means to be "Locked In". Pastor Shawn is joined by Pastor Darius and Pastor Billy as they unpack the power of discipline in spiritual growth and purpose. Together, they share real-life insights on staying consistent, balancing discipline with freedom, and how daily habits shape our faith. From pre-deciding and habit stacking to finding motivation through commitment, this episode challenges listeners to stay the course and trust God's process.

Este mensaje nos enseña que debemos vivir la verdadera Palabra, que es Cristo. Él es nuestro fundamento, nuestra fe y la Palabra viva que nos guía con poder hacia la salvación.

Este mensaje nos enseña que debemos trabajar fielmente en el campo donde Dios nos ha ubicado, sembrando con obediencia y cosechando a su tiempo.

Este mensaje nos muestra lo que significa el día de la ira y sus distintos nombres haciendo énfasis en el cumplimiento de lo eventos señalados en las escrituras.

Este mensaje nos recuerda el sufrimiento que pasó Jesús al ser azotado por nuestros pecados, y lo que significó para nosotros, para darnos libertad por medio de su sacrificio.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!It's Baptism Sunday—a joyful celebration of new life in Christ! Pastor Billy Waters continues the Deuteronomy series, focusing on what it means to live a consecrated life before God. Drawing from Deuteronomy 14, he explores how God calls His people to be set apart—holy, devoted, and distinct from the world around them.Through a story about discovering a hidden banquet, Pastor Billy illustrates how often we settle for less when God offers us something far greater. Consecration, he said, is not about restriction but about relationship and renewal—turning away from the world's false promises to feast on the riches of God's grace.

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 always lead to greater fruit. Over the past year, we've seen this lived out in powerful ways: 40 baptisms, growing youth and children's ministries, more than 50 discipleship groups, and God's abundant provision through generosity.As a church, we are entering a new season with a refreshed vision statement: “Here as it is in heaven.” This captures our call to live out deeper roots in Jesus and greater fruit for Jesus—so that our homes, neighborhoods, and city reflect the reality of heaven.

Esta enseñanza nos muestra la importancia de sentarnos a la mesa del Señor y cómo la Cena puede obrar en nuestra vida, trayendo libertad y transformación.

"The Kingdom" Pastor Billy Philips 8.24.25

Life often feels like it moves faster than we can catch up—but what if peace isn't in controlling every moment, but in trusting Him to orchestrate the right one?  In “Being In God's Timing Produces Peace,” Pastor Billy Island teaches us that when life feels out of control, peace seems out of reach. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that God makes everything beautiful in its time. When we stop striving to make life happen on our own terms and start trusting His timing, that's when true peace begins. Everyone helping someone take steps to follow Christ.

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 question is not whether God is faithful—but whether we will remain faithful.
