Seven—A Lenten Series :: 3/16/25 :: Billy Waters

Welcome to Wellspring Church!

What if the biggest threat to our spiritual growth isn’t outright rebellion—but indifference? This week, Pastor Billy explores the deadly sin of sloth, a resistance to the demands of love that keeps us from growing in Christ.

Looking at 2 Peter 1, we see that Jesus has given us everything we need for a life of faith. But sloth tempts us to neglect our calling, distracting us with comfort, busyness, or avoidance instead of pressing into transformation. True spiritual growth requires perseverance, intentionality, and a willingness to stay engaged—even when it’s difficult.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Sloth isn’t just laziness—it’s spiritual apathy and avoidance

🔹 Why neglecting our faith leads to stagnation, not rest

🔹 The power of perseverance in relationships, faith, and calling

🔹 How to overcome sloth by staying put and engaging deeply

Sloth lures us into mediocrity, but Jesus calls us to wake up, press on, and live fully into our faith. As we respond to His love with diligence and devotion, we step into the transformation He has for us.
