Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What does it mean to be a Spirit-filled witness in the world? In this message, Pastor David Norris explores the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the way Jesus continues his ministry through the Church today.

Looking through Acts 2, the Psalms, and the story of David’s anointing in 1 Samuel, we see that Pentecost is not just a dramatic moment in Church history—it is the fulfillment of God’s promise to pour out his Spirit on his people. Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension were not the end of his ministry, but the beginning of a new way he would work through ordinary believers empowered by the Holy Spirit.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 How Pentecost fulfills God’s promises through Jesus
🔹 The contrast between Saul and David as pictures of the Spirit’s presence and departure
🔹 Why the Church grows not through human eloquence or performance, but through the power of the Holy Spirit
🔹 How Jesus continues his compassionate ministry through his people today
🔹 Becoming witnesses who embody the heart and compassion of Christ in the world

Faith is not sustained by charisma, talent, or polished presentation. As Pastor David reminds us, God’s kingdom advances “not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit.” The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now fills and sends the Church to love, serve, and bear witness to him in every place.

Relevant Scripture references: Acts 2:22–36, Psalm 16, 1 Samuel 15–16, Zechariah 4:6, and Joel 2:28–29.
