Here at Living Water Fellowship Greer South Carolina, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 2018, we have been determined to make an impact. C.S. Lewis wrote, "The Christian church is not a building, but a body of believers united in Christ. Its role is to worship God, nurture and edify and reach out to a suffering world with the saving message of the gospel as well as the practical compassion and mercy exemplified in Christ."

    "Thy Kingdom Come" - Kingdom Citizens Expectations

    We conclude our series, Thy Kingdom Come, from Pastor Rex Keaton. This is the relating of the story of the King’s background, birth, and beginning. There is a reason that God chose this time in history to reveal His kingdom. The Romans who controlled the world at that time had not only laid the groundwork for the spread of the kingdom but had prepared His people to be ready to receive their Messiah, even though many did not choose to believe in Him. The story of Jesus is filled with adventure from His conception as an embryo to his return to heaven as the Risen Savior. In the Gospel of Matthew, the life of Christ is tied to the history of the Jewish people. If you read the Gospels you will find action and adventure on every page. Sometimes it is a lesson that He teaches or a miracle that He performs but it is always moving, flowing with purpose and life-giving words. In Matthew's Gospel and chapter 6, Jesus is focusing on our motives. From a human perspective, we can only see “What” people do.  From a divine perspective, God can see “Why” people do what they do. This is one of the reasons that in the next chapter Jesus is going to teach us not to judge. Because action many times betrays intention. With our limited humanity, we can do things at times that turn out so wrong, but we meant them to turn outright. So, in this passage, Matthew’s record Jesus addresses both actions, which are very important, but He also addresses intentions, which only He truly knows. Now you understand that we are breaking into the middle of a lesson that Jesus is already involved in teaching so without an introduction Jesus launches in to further “Kingdom Concepts” that He wanted us to know.
