Welcome to Wellspring Church!
As we enter the season of Lent, Pastor Kyle Stanton invites us to see the wilderness not as the destination, but as the path. The goal is deeper communion with God. Looking at Jesus’ baptism in Luke 3 and His temptations in the wilderness, we’re reminded that before Jesus did anything, He was affirmed by the Father and filled with the Spirit.
Jesus faced real temptations—to be self-sufficient, to be spectacular, and to seize power—but He resisted them by resting in the Father’s voice. In the same way, Lent becomes a season where our false voices are stripped away so we can hear the one true Word God speaks over us.
📖 Key Themes in This Message:
🔹 The wilderness as a pathway to deeper communion with God
🔹 Jesus’ baptism as the foundation for resisting temptation
🔹 The temptations to be spectacular, powerful, and self-reliant
🔹 Lent as a season to quiet competing voices and rediscover the Father’s affirmation
Before we strive, achieve, or prove ourselves, we belong to the Father. The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ, reminding us that everything we need—wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption—is found in Him. Lent invites us to live from that identity, not for it.
