Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What happens when greed quietly slips into our hearts—and even our churches? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters explores one of Jesus’ most sobering parables in Luke 12, calling us to wake up to the hidden power of greed and the joy of gospel generosity.
While most sins are visible and easily confessed, greed hides in plain sight. Pastor Billy unpacks how our culture of abundance distorts our view of what we need—and how Jesus confronts that with truth and grace.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Why Jesus says “Be on your guard!”—and how greed uniquely hides in our lives
🔹 The parable of the rich fool and the myth of financial independence
🔹 Why generosity is a lifestyle, not a guilt-trip
🔹 Healing our hearts by remembering that God owns it all
🔹 Living as stewards of grace: how giving can become a source of joy
In a culture that prizes accumulation, Jesus invites us to the freedom of empty barns, generous hearts, and trust in God’s provision. As Pastor Billy reminds us, real joy isn’t found in more—it’s found in following the One who emptied Himself for us.
