The Parables of Jesus :: 7/27/25 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

How do we take the values of the Kingdom and bring them into our everyday lives? In this message, Pastor Billy Waters walks us through the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10, inviting us to see with the eyes of compassion and respond to need, even when it’s inconvenient or costly.

Rooted in the vision of seeing the Kingdom of God here as it is in heaven, this message calls us to live out the values of Jesus in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and relationships—just like the Samaritan who responded when others passed by.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Becoming a neighbor: seeing the need, knowing the cost, and meeting it with compassion

🔹 Why religious credentials and reputations aren’t enough to fulfill God’s call

🔹 The overwhelming needs around us—and how to start with just one

🔹 Jesus as the ultimate neighbor who meets our greatest need

Being a neighbor is messy, costly, and won’t fit in your calendar or budget—but it’s what the Kingdom looks like. And we can only live it because Jesus did it first for us.
