Jesus leads us into the wilderness not to punish us, but to form us. Explore Lent as spiritual detox, exposing idols and shame so God can heal us with holy love.

A sermon from Acts 4:23–31 on praying together, Spirit-filled boldness, and how God grows His church through prayer—not strategy.

In this Ash Wednesday message, Pastor Matt walks us through Psalm 51 and the heart of Lent: coming face to face with our own brokenness and inviting God to do what only he can do—create a clean heart within us. Through a powerful testimony and David’s prayer of repentance, we’re reminded that Lent is not about fixing ourselves, but surrendering fully to God’s transforming grace. This teaching calls us to eliminate distractions, practice honest confession, and allow the Holy Spirit to lovingly confront our sin so real healing can begin. As we prepare for Resurrection Sunday, we’re invited into forty days of humility, repentance, and renewal—acknowledging that we cannot save ourselves, but Jesus can.

When Prayer is Hard

What if the Lord’s Prayer isn’t just something we recite… but something that reshapes our entire lives?

This Sunday, we’re slowing down and walking line by line through the Our Father—discovering how Jesus teaches us to pray, reorder our priorities, forgive deeply, trust daily, and live for God’s kingdom instead of our own.

It’s the gospel in a nutshell.

It’s a template for real prayer.

And it’s a wake-up call for our hearts.

Join us as we learn to pray like Jesus taught—and let God change us from the inside out.

Discover why prayer isn’t about performance or persuasion, but about inner transformation. In this message from Matthew 6:5–8, learn how meeting God in secret reshapes our hearts, reorders our loves, and draws us into His presence.

What do you do when life feels too dark, too messy, and too far gone to fix?In this sermon from the book of Jonah, we journey into one of Scripture’s most powerful images: Jonah crying out to God from the belly of the fish—the darkest, messiest place imaginable. From that depth, Jonah prays… and God hears him.This message explores two profound truths. First, there is no situation too broken, no place too dark, and no sin too shameful for God’s grace to reach. Whether the mess is of our own making or the result of circumstances beyond our control, God hears our cry and is able to rescue.But the story doesn’t end there.Jonah’s rescue raises an uncomfortable question: What happens after grace finds us? God doesn’t just save Jonah—He sends him back out. This sermon challenges us to consider whether grace has truly transformed us or merely made us comfortable. Are we willing to love the world the way God does, even when it costs us something?If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, or hesitant to step into God’s call, this message invites you to stop hiding, trust God’s power to rescue, and be ready for what He asks next.Scripture Focus: Jonah 2Theme: Grace, repentance, transformation, and God’s mission to the worldSubscribe for more sermons and teachings from Wellspring Church, and share this message with someone who needs to hear that God still hears prayers—even from the belly of the fish.
