Spirit-Led Lent :: 3/8/26 :: David Norris

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

Who are you, really? In this message, David Norris invites us to reflect on the question of identity and how easily we bring false assumptions about ourselves into our relationship with God. In a world full of competing voices, the gospel reminds us of a simple, freeing truth: our identity is not something we earn or construct—it is something God gives.

Looking at Luke 4 and the story of David and Mephibosheth, we see a picture of unexpected kindness and restored belonging. Just as King David sought out someone from Jonathan’s family to show covenant kindness, God seeks us out and welcomes us into his family—not because of what we’ve done, but because of his faithful love.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 How our culture shapes false assumptions about who we are

🔹 Why Jesus’ identity as the Son of God matters for our own identity

🔹 The story of David and Mephibosheth as a picture of covenant kindness

🔹 The freeing truth that our identity is simply this: we are children of God

When we receive the kindness of God, our identity becomes clear and secure. We don’t have to strive to become someone worthy—we are already welcomed at the King’s table.
