From Pessimism to Praise: The Growth of the Apostle Thomas | Sermon from the Gospel of JohnIn this Bible teaching from the Gospel of John, we trace the honest, hope-filled journey of the Apostle Thomas. Often labeled “Doubting Thomas,” he was not lazy, disloyal, or faithless. He was committed, courageous, and deeply loyal to Jesus. Yet Thomas struggled with pessimism, a mindset that assumed the worst and wrestled with fear when circumstances felt uncertain.This sermon shows how Jesus patiently transforms pessimistic thinking into confident worship. Drawing from John 11, John 14, and John 20, we see how perspective shapes faith, how unchecked thoughts can sabotage joy, and how Christ meets doubters with grace rather than condemnation.You will also hear clear biblical clarification on the so-called “Gospel of Thomas” and why it was rejected by the early church as non-inspired and unbiblical, standing in contrast to the trustworthy New Testament Scriptures.Key Themes in This MessageHow perspective determines spiritual growth and joyWhy pessimism often isolates and fuels doubtHow Jesus responds to honest questions with truth and patienceTaking every thought captive according to 2 Corinthians 10:5Renewing the mind with what is true and praiseworthy from Philippians 4:8The transformation of Thomas from doubt to devotionOld Testament parallels with Joshua and Caleb versus fearful pessimism in Numbers 14Sermon Big IdeaJesus is not finished with believers who struggle with negative thinking. He loved Thomas, kept Thomas, and patiently shaped Thomas. And He still turns pessimists into worshipers today.If you have ever found yourself bracing for disappointment, struggling to trust God beyond what you can see, or fighting negative thoughts, this message offers biblical hope, clarity, and encouragement.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What truly shapes our lives and loves? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to examine how our faith is formed—not just on Sunday mornings, but throughout the whole of our lives—and how misplaced desires can quietly reshape our hearts.Drawing from 1 Timothy 6 and the broader witness of Scripture, we're reminded that the love of money promises fulfillment but ultimately leads us away from the life God intends. Christian faith, by contrast, begins with God's gracious initiative and forms us into people who live with open hands, rooted trust, and worshipful dependence on Him.Faith isn't merely something we believe; it's something that forms us—shaping our habits, our priorities, and our posture toward God and others all week long.

Don't Be Ashamed of This Message

John 6:5–14 | Walking by Faith, Not by SightWhat do you do when what God asks of you makes no sense on paper?In this message, “Faith Beyond Sight: Learning to Trust God Beyond What We See,” we walk through John 6:5–14, the feeding of the 5,000, and discover that this miracle is not only about provision, but about trust. Jesus intentionally tests Philip, not to embarrass him, but to reveal a struggle we all face: trusting what we can calculate instead of trusting who God is.Philip was a sincere follower of Jesus, yet when faced with an overwhelming need, he defaulted to human math instead of divine possibility. He saw the crowd, the cost, and the limits. Jesus saw an opportunity for faith.This sermon explores the tension between sight-based faith and God-centered faith, reminding us that faith does not deny reality, but it refuses to be ruled by it.Key Themes in This Message:• Faith is often tested where logic ends • God calls His people into situations beyond their natural ability • Faith that depends on resources will always fall short • God multiplies what we surrender, not what we control • Where God guides, God providesScriptures Covered:

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor David Norris invites us into the season of Epiphany by helping us see why the reading and proclaiming of Scripture sits at the heart of our worship. Rather than treating the Bible as background material or inspirational add-on, we are reminded that God's Word is an active, living means by which Christ is made known among us.Drawing especially from John 1, Pastor David points us to Jesus as the Word made flesh—the fullest revelation of God's heart and will. When Scripture is read aloud in the gathered assembly, it is not merely information being shared, but Christ himself being presented to his people. The structure of our liturgy, including the readings, confession, absolution, and communion, forms us by repeatedly placing us under the gracious authority of God's revealed Word.

This Message is the Start of a New Series: Hidden Figures: We will be looking at the stories of an array of people throughout the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). These are some of the women and men that partner with God to advance the story of redemption. They are often overlooked either because of their gender, their ethnicity, their social standing, or because of their mistakes and poor choices.  What makes Eve a Hidden Figure is not that she's overlooked or forgotten. But that's she's typically remembered for her wrongdoing. How she and Adam broke God's story rather than the ways she advanced that story. In other words, she's remembered for her broken trust and sin, instead of any kind of faithfulness or redeeming qualities.  But there's more to Eve's story that we often remember. Eve tells the truth. She speaks of both what influenced her choice as well as her own responsibility in making that choice. She's not just the first person to fail in Scripture, she's also the first model of repentance in scripture.Today we proclaim the good news: In God's story the morally comprised are experts of repentance. Those devastated by disappointment and loss are the first to find hope. And those are vilified for their failures become models of faith for everyone. Today beloved, receive your first Mother, no as a pariah, but as a flawed yet faithful example of how God makes good on his promises. Follow in her footsteps, become her children. Learn from Eve and call on the name of the LORD.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor David Norris invites us into Jonah chapter 3, where we see what happens when God's word finally breaks through hardened hearts—and how real repentance always begins with conviction.Jonah's message to Nineveh is short and uncomfortable, yet God uses it to awaken an entire city. Pastor David reminds us that repentance isn't about surface-level remorse or religious behavior; it's about being cut to the heart by the Spirit of God and turning fully toward Him. When we respond with humility, God meets us not with destruction, but with mercy.
