Are You Thirsty? (John‪)‬ New Bridge Community Church Sermons

The Background (John 7:37, 7:2)

 

The Invitation (John 7:37b-38; Isaiah 55:1-2)


Who: anyone, everyone who is
thirsty
What: come to Jesus and drink
Why: the promise (see below)

 

We tend to focus on our material lives, but Jesus is using a physical metaphor to speak to us about our souls. 

 

ThePromise (John 7:38-39)


Never-ending, soul-quenching living
water (John 7:38; Ezekiel 47:1,3-5ff)
Purpose (John 7:38, Genesis
2:10-14)
The Holy Spirit (John 7:39)

 

Jesus’ promise is to receive His living water and to be a conduit of it.

We are blessed to be a blessing.

 

Questions for Reflection


Who around me does God want to
bless through me?
How does God want me to engage in
my community as His minister of reconciliation?
How can I join the mission God has
given New Bridge by serving?
