Welcome to Wellspring Church!
What is the nature of God’s Kingdom? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters explores Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22—and what it reveals about the exclusive and inclusive grace of God.
Looking at the extravagant invitation extended by the King and the varied responses it receives, we see that grace is freely given—but not always accepted. Grace welcomes everyone, yet it requires humility to receive.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 Why grace, not merit, is Christianity’s distinctive message
🔹 The exclusive nature of grace—only the humble receive it
🔹 The inclusive call of grace—to the good, the bad, the poor, and the broken
🔹 How gratitude helps us live in grace and reconnect with God
Receiving grace is the hardest thing we’ll ever do—not because it costs us, but because we cannot earn it. In a world that praises achievement, grace invites us to come empty-handed and receive a love we cannot repay. And in response, we live with wonder, joy, and thanksgiving.
