Welcome to Wellspring Church!
Why does Pentecost matter? In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Billy Waters explores what it means to be truly filled with the Holy Spirit—and why that changes everything for the Church.
Turning to John 20 rather than Acts 2, we discover that the Holy Spirit is not an optional extra for Christians; he is the very breath of life that animates us. Without him, we are lifeless vessels. With him, we are filled, empowered and sent.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 The Holy Spirit gives life—he breathes into us just as God breathed life into Adam
🔹 Pentecost is about the presence of God making his people alive again
🔹 The Church is not a lifeless shell, but a Spirit-filled temple carrying God’s presence
🔹 We are empowered for mission, each of us part of the priesthood bringing Christ’s forgiveness to others
🔹 Being filled with the Spirit means stepping into courage, using our gifts and participating in God’s Kingdom work
From pizza box analogies to Ezekiel’s dry bones, Billy reminds us that we are vessels—what matters is what fills us. The Church doesn’t need better strategies; it needs more of the Holy Spirit. The call is clear: empty ourselves of pride, fear and distraction, and cry out, “Don’t pass us by, Lord.”
🙌 Call to Action:
Desire more of the Spirit. Pray for awakening. Be bold in your workplace, neighborhood and daily life. The Spirit wants to empower you to speak, heal and love in Jesus’ name.
