Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What does it mean to remember that we are dust—and yet deeply loved? In this Ash Wednesday message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us into the sobering and hopeful journey of Lent, where we face our mortality, our sin, and our need for grace.

Ash Wednesday confronts us with the truth we often avoid: we are finite, fragile, and in need of repentance. Yet the ashes traced in the shape of a cross remind us that even in our brokenness, we belong to Jesus. The call to “remember” is not meant to shame us, but to awaken us—to turn our hearts back to the Father who is rich in mercy.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 The gift of honest repentance in a culture of distraction

🔹 Remembering our mortality as a pathway to wisdom

🔹 Why confession leads to freedom, not condemnation

🔹 Entering Lent as a season of surrender, renewal, and hope

Lent is not about self-improvement or spiritual performance. It is about returning—again and again—to the One who formed us from dust and breathes new life into weary souls. As we walk toward the cross, we do so with humility, trust, and confidence in Christ’s redeeming love.
