Podcasts about Living Water

Biblical Theology, Episode 10 In today's episode, we're picking back up our biblical theology series as Lauren Bowerman chats with Dr. Eunice Chung about the theme of the River of Life in Scripture. This conversation will leave you in awe of God's Word and will also encourage you if you are in a weary or dry season. We hope that this episode encourages you to satisfy your thirst in God himself as you drink deeply of Jesus—the very River of Life. 01:27  Why Rivers Matter in the Biblical Story 09:56  Rivers, Deliverance, and the Exodus 13:25  Planted Beside Streams of Water 22:43  Jesus Offers Living Water 28:14  The River of Life in Revelation 33:45  Drinking from the River Now 40:00  Encouragement for the Spiritually Dry  42:50  The Hope of Christ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FULL SHOW NOTES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ journeywomen.org/episode/living-water DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How did seeing how the theme of rivers develops throughout Scripture increase your awe and love for God? Was there anything Eunice shared from Scripture that you hadn't noticed before or that surprised you?

What does the Gospel of John reveal about who Jesus really is? In this message from The Gospels, we journey through the Book of John and discover Jesus as the Light in the darkness, the Bread of Life, the Living Water, the Good Shepherd, and the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John gives us a beautiful picture of a Savior who doesn't simply offer us information about God—He invites us into a relationship with Him. At the center of John's Gospel is the incredible truth that God so loved the world that He gave His Son so that we could have life. Wherever you are today, Jesus is still the Light when you feel lost, the Living Water when your soul is thirsty, and the Good Shepherd who knows you and cares for you. The Gospels See Jesus. Know Jesus. Follow Jesus.

Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In the closing chapters of David's life, he looks back on the people who stood beside him—including three mighty men who risked their lives to bring him water from the well of Bethlehem. David considered their sacrifice too precious to consume, so he poured the water out as an offering to the Lord. In this message from 2 Samuel 23, we discover a beautiful picture that points beyond David to Jesus—the Living Water who poured Himself out completely for our redemption. And as we consider His sacrifice, we're challenged with a personal question: Are we living “poured out” lives, giving God our time, service, ambitions, resources, and ultimately our whole selves?

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim explores how Jesus meets us in our driest, most ashamed places, just as he did with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. Instead of avoiding those considered unclean or unwanted, Jesus moves toward them with grace, offering “living water”—a renewing relationship with God that truly satisfies, unlike the “broken cisterns” we create to cope on our own. Jim emphasizes that Jesus knows our full story yet still offers dignity, welcome, and transformation. We are invited to confess where we've been hiding, receive his grace, and share this hope with others, responding through prayer, communion, and community.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49645086   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church/3dhd3g3b9b89e5   ☞ NEXT STEPS

Have you ever reached the end of the day and felt like you had absolutely nothing left to give?Maybe it was the question, "What's for dinner?" that pushed you over the edge. Maybe it was another toddler tantrum, another sleepless night, a teenager's attitude, caring for aging parents, or simply feeling touched out after pouring into everyone else all day.If that's you, I want you to hear this: There is nothing wrong with you. God is not surprised that you feel overwhelmed.One of the biggest lies we believe as moms is that good moms don't get overwhelmed. Somewhere along the way, we begin acting as though we're supposed to be limitless. But only God is limitless.I share an episode from Kat Lee that has stayed with me. As a young mom, she found herself sitting in her van in the garage, overwhelmed and in tears. She cried out to God, expecting Him to change her circumstances, but instead He gently invited her to begin preparing her heart before the day ever began. His invitation wasn't about checking off another spiritual discipline or becoming a "better Christian." It was simply an invitation to spend a few quiet moments remembering who He is, reading a few verses, praying for her children, and asking Him to help her become a conduit of His grace throughout the day.Jesus invites us to return to Him again and again throughout the day. He is the source of Living Water that never runs dry. Whether you're feeling emptied by toddlers, teenagers, aging parents, anxiety, work, or simply the weight of everyday motherhood, His grace is still available. The goal isn't to become a mom who never runs out of energy or patience. The goal is to become a mom who knows where to go when she does.Connect with Kat Lee:  Website: InspiredToAction.com - Inspiration for Motherhood  Instagram: Hello Mornings with Kat Lee (@hellomornings) Links Mentioned:  Don't Mom Alone: By Heather MacFadyen Hello Mornings - We help you build a consistent morning routine.  Related Episodes: The Mom Game Changer :: Kat Lee {Ep 41}  Don't Mom Alone (#GCMLive Event) :: Kat Lee and Wynter Pitts [Ep 185] Healthy Habit Building :: Kat Lee [Ep 300] Featured Sponsors: Hiya Health: We've worked out a special deal with Hiya.

I like to think of myself as very orthodox in my Christian ethics, and admitted coward in the face of real or perceived conflict. So, when I am asked the question whether I would or would not tell a sinner to repent, the latter reality can overwhelm the former. But the answer to that question in some ways is not primarily one about orthodoxy or fear, though it will be shaped by both. It is, rather, primarily about the Christian's calling in the world.

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In this week's message of our Summer at Bethlehem series, Pastor Chris Bell from 3Circle Church in Fairhope, Alabama explores the critical concept of spiritual hydration through the lens of John 7:37–38. Physical dehydration leads to fatigue, vulnerability, and sickness—but soul dehydration carries far more dangerous, eternal consequences.   Set against the historical backdrop of the Feast of the Tabernacles (Festival of Booths), Pastor Chris reveals the profound significance of Jesus interrupting the most sacred day of the Jewish festival. While the priests poured out water to commemorate God's provision in the wilderness, Jesus stood up and declared that He Himself is the fulfillment of that promise—the source of eternal, living water.

In this episode of The Kingdom Biblecast, we continue our journey through John 4:19–42 as we explore one of the most powerful encounters in the Gospels—Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. What began as a simple request for water became a life-changing encounter with the Living Water, transforming one woman's heart and leading an entire community to Christ.Together, we'll discover what it truly means to worship the Father in spirit and in truth, as Jesus explains that genuine worship is not confined to a location or religious tradition but flows from a heart surrendered to God and grounded in His truth (John 4:21–24). We'll also examine Jesus' powerful teaching about the spiritual harvest in John 4:34–38, where He reminds His disciples that His mission was to do the Father's will and that the fields are already ripe for harvest. As followers of Christ, we are called to lift our eyes, recognize the opportunities God places before us, and faithfully share the Gospel with those who are searching for hope.This episode also highlights how the Samaritan woman became an unexpected yet effective witness. She didn't have years of theological training or all the answers—she simply shared what Jesus had done in her life. Her testimony reminds us that God can use anyone whose life has been transformed by His grace to point others to the Savior.Whether you're looking for encouragement to share your faith, a deeper understanding of true worship, or renewed passion for God's mission of reaching the lost, this episode will challenge and inspire you to become an active participant in His harvest.Thanks for tuning into The Kingdom Biblecast, where We Seek The Kingdom, Live The Word & Walk it Out.

As I gazed at the intricate etching Christ and the Woman of Samaria by Dutch artist Rembrandt, two interesting details caught my eye. The first was Jesus’ humble pose—leaning over, with His hand over His heart—as he addressed the Samaritan woman. By depicting Jesus this way, Rembrandt captured a significant aspect of the biblical story. Due to centuries of hostilities between the two groups, Jews typically did not associate with Samaritans (John 4:9). Yet Jesus reached out with respect and dignity to a woman considered an outcast, not only because of her ethnicity but also because of her checkered past (vv. 17–18). Jesus knew the woman’s struggles and offered “living water” (v. 10) to satisfy her deepest need—the gift of cleansing and life-giving grace available through a restored relationship with God. The second detail that caught my eye was the dark shadow covering the woman’s face, symbolizing her initial struggle to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, or Israel’s promised rescuer. When the woman told Jesus, “I know that Messiah is coming” (v. 25) and He responded, “I am he” (v. 26), her eyes and heart were opened (v. 29). As we encounter people who are spiritually thirsty, Jesus’ example reminds me to speak with humility and kindness, praying for God to remove the shadow that “has blinded the minds of unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 4:4) so that they can fully understand Jesus’ life-changing offer of living water.

In this message, Minister Jed Logue teaches through John 7:25–52, where Jesus stands in the middle of growing opposition and boldly declares, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink." As the crowds debate who Jesus really is, we're confronted with the same question today: Will we believe him?Discover why Jesus' invitation to receive living water is more than a promise of personal satisfaction—it's a call to become a source of hope and life for others through the Holy Spirit. Learn how God's perfect timing, Christ's identity as the Messiah, and the power of the gospel challenge us to move from stagnant faith to Spirit-filled living.If you've ever wrestled with doubt, wondered where God is in difficult seasons, felt spiritually dry, or longed for deeper purpose, this message will encourage you to trust Jesus, receive the life only he can give, and allow his Spirit to flow through your life.

At the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus stood before the crowd and made an incredible invitation: Come to Me. He wasn't offering temporary relief—He was offering living water that would overflow from the lives of those who believe in Him through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, Ruth closes our podcast season on “becoming human,” reflecting on an incarnational spirituality that is lived in the God-ordained reality of our bodies rather than bifurcated from them. She invites listeners to notice what they now know, what questions have surfaced, and how suffering and honest inquiry shape theology and spiritual leadership, calling leaders to stay present to bodily experience in themselves and those they shepherd. Ruth closes with four practices—paying attention to the body, caring for it, praying with it, and biospiritual focusing—and concludes by once again reading Brian Wren's “Good Is the Flesh” as an embodied blessing.   Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

Sunday Am, June 28th 2026 “Will The True Worshipper Stand Up” teaches that God is not merely seeking people who worship, but true worshippers who worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23–24). Using Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman, it demonstrates that genuine worship begins with repentance, moves beyond tradition, location, style, and outward ceremony, and flows from a transformed heart that has experienced the Living Water of Christ. True worship is a sincere response to God's worth, involving the whole person—heart, soul, mind, and spirit—and is grounded in the truth of God's Word and the revelation of Jesus Christ, who is the Truth. As believers recognize God's greatness, receive the Holy Spirit, and cultivate an authentic relationship with Him, worship becomes more than an activity—it becomes a lifestyle that reflects the reality of belonging to God and living continually in His presence.

John 7:37-52 Please turn to John chapter 7. We'll be considering verses 37-52 this morning. You can find that on page 1062. The context of chapter 7 has been the Feast of Booths - also called the Feast of Tabernacles. It was one of the three major festivals in the Jewish calendar, so there were lots of people in Jerusalem. Earlier in the chapter, Jesus appeared at the temple in the middle of the festival and began teaching. That caused a crowd to gather around him. And most of the crowd was amazed. They had heard of or seen Jesus' signs (or miracles)  but now they witnessed his teaching. In our text this morning, we will hear that it is now the end of the feast. Jesus called for people to come to him but, as you will hear, he received a mixed response. Some were intrigued but others all the more wanted to kill him. Reading of John 7:37-52 Prayer There's no doubt that water is THE foundation to our physical existence. Our bodies are made up of about 60% water. Without water, we cannot survive for more than a few days. Without water, crops cannot grow and animals cannot survive. But for us in our day and age, water is readily available. Even in drought situations, we manage pretty well. Farmers can pump water from the underground water table to water their crops. We can clean and store water from storm runoff. We can dam rivers and we can pump water from one region to another. The worst it gets here, is that we're told to only water our lawns on certain days. But if you lived in Jerusalem back in the first century, it was very different. They didn't have all the modern technologies to drill or store significant amounts of water. Given its geography high up in the mountains, Jerusalem didn't have any nearby rivers. The Kidron valley and brook were dry for most of the year. And so, the people really did rely on the seasons. They hoped and prayed for rain at certain times of the year. It's no wonder that Jesus used the concept of water to symbolize spiritual realities. Remember, we saw that first back in chapter 2 when Jesus turned water into wine, symbolizing his cleansing ministry. And again, we saw that in chapter 4, when Jesus told the woman at the well that she needed his living water and that when she drank it, she would never be thirsty again. He was speaking of the eternal life that she would receive through believing in him. Well, this morning we have a new spiritual reality symbolized by water. And that is the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He will be like rivers of living water flowing forth from our hearts. So, this morning we'll begin our time with that… with Jesus' teaching about the giving of the Spirit. That's verses 37-39. As we'll see in a minute, his analogy of water directly connects to what was happening at the Feast. And then second, we'll survey the responses to Jesus' teaching. That's verses 40-52. As you heard, out of people's hearts flowed very different responses to Jesus. That's where we are headed. #1 The Holy Spirit - the River of Living Water As we get into the verses about the Holy Spirit, let me first note that the Feast of Tabernacles was at the very end of the dry season. In fact, most years, it had not rained for months in the leadup to the festival. To be sure, Jerusalem did have a source of water. Their main source of water at the time was the Gihon Spring which they diverted into the Pool of Siloam. It was on the south side of the city about a third of a mile down from the temple. It was King Hezekiah about 700 years earlier who had a tunnel dug through the rock to reach the spring and divert the water to inside the city. Just a few years after he finished that, Assyria surrounded Jerusalem and attempted to cut off the supply lines, including water, but they did not know of the hidden water channel. And so, Jerusalem was able to endure. By the way, if you go to Jerusalem today, you can actually walk through Hezekiah's water tunnel. I did that several years ago with a friend. It's about 1/4 mile long and pretty narrow and the water is maybe 1-2 feet deep. At one point my friend snuck ahead, turned off his little flashlight and then, when I rounded a corner, he jumped out at me. I may or may not have been momentarily scared. Anyway, you end up at the Pool of Siloam - or a small portion of what remains. I'm telling you this because at the Feast of Booths, every day one of the priests would make his way down to the Pool of Siloam. Jewish literature records that he would dip a golden vessel into the pool, and he would make his way back to the Temple. The crowds would follow him as he passed through the lower gates into the temple area. Trumpets would sound as he ascended the temple steps. They would read from passages like Isaiah 12:3 which says, "with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." That was our call to worship this morning. And then with great pomp, when the festival branches described in Leviticus 23 were waved, the priest would pour the fresh water onto the altar. A channel was made for that purpose, and it would drain to the base. The purpose of the water was a remembrance of God's provision of water in the wilderness. Remember, the Feast of Booths was about celebrating God's provision in the wilderness. That included water from the rock. God called Moses to strike a rock, and when he did, water flowed forth. Well, on the seventh day of the feast, Jewish literature also records that the water ceremony happened 7 times. 7 times the priest would fill the golden vessel from Siloam and return to the temple, and pour it onto the altar. By the seventh time, the water would have overflowed from the altar onto the temple floor. And while this was happening, the people were rejoicing, waving various branches while the trumpets sounded and the water flowed. It was on this day, the 7th day, called the great day, that Jesus stood up and cried out “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” We don't know what time of day Jesus proclaimed these words, but the people would have had water on their minds. It was hot and dry. Likely it had not rained. Furthermore, they either anticipated the priests carrying the water to the altar or they just witnessed that event. They were thirsty - physically and spiritually. And Jesus cried out to them, calling them to come to him and drink. And not only would their spiritual thirst be quenched, but if they came and drank, rivers of living water, he said, would flow from them. The apostle John then adds a brief commentary that Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit. Those who came to him would receive his Spirit, once he was glorified. Now, before we consider what that means for you and me, let me note 4 brief things. #1. Jesus quotes a Scripture which says, "Out of his heart [the one who believes] will flow rivers of living water." There's actually no single Old Testament passage directly matching the quote. However, several Old Testament texts parallel this idea. We read from Isaiah 44 earlier in the service. Verse 3 says, "I will pour water on a thirsty land" and then "I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring." Zechariah 14:8 was another one. It was also read during the Feast of Booths. It speaks of living water flowing out of Jerusalem. There are other passages like Ezekiel 47 and Isaiah 55 which are similar. In other words, the idea of living water connected to the Holy Spirit and salvation is very prevalent in the Old Testament. #2. Some Greek translators believe that the "rivers of living water" referenced here is the Holy Spirit being given out of Jesus' heart, not ours. They argue that phrase "whoever believes in me" is actually part of the invitation to drink and does not describe the one who has a river flowing from his heart. Honestly, there are some good arguments for that. Personally, I lean toward the translation we use. But I also think that even if this alternative is true, those who believe are still the recipients of the Holy Spirit. When we receive the Spirit, then our hearts will display forth the Spirit's ministry in us. So, in the end, I don't think it really changes the impact. #3. The third thing I want to point out. The fact that verse 39 says that the Spirit would be given after Jesus was glorified does not minimize the Holy Spirit's work in the Old Testament. No. From the very beginning in Genesis 1, the Spirit was present. He was hovering over the waters. He was at work in the hearts and minds of the remnant of God's people - true Israel. The Spirit directed people to look forward to the Messiah who would come. The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1 tells us that the Spirit of Christ was at work in the prophets who testified beforehand about Christ's sufferings and glory. What is the difference, then? The giving of the Holy Spirit mentioned in verse 39 is the outpouring of the Spirit to all peoples, not just Israel, but every tribe, tongue, and nation. Furthermore, as the Spirit dwells in his people, he now applies the finished work of Christ to us. So, the difference is in the scope of the Holy Spirit's work and the fulness of salvation being applied. I think that's important to understand. #4 - the last brief comment. And this is related. When verse 39 speaks of Jesus' glorification, I'm guessing you have in mind Jesus' ascension to heaven where he now reigns. That's true. However, John's Gospel includes Jesus' death and resurrection as part of his glorification. We're going to see this very clearly when we get to chapter 12. We will see that Jesus finally tells his disciples that his hour HAS come. And what is that hour? Jesus tells them it is the hour of his glorification. He must die in order to be raised. So, as we think of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we need to understand that he is applying Jesus' full ministry including his atonement for our sin through his sacrifice and the hope and new life we have in his resurrection and ascension to glory. It is out of that fulness as the inaugurated King, that Jesus sends his Spirit to continue his ministry to the ends of the earth. Now, I know that's a lot of theology packed into those comments. Let me summarize it this way. Jesus' promise of his Spirit is an amazing promise and reality for you and me. Every single one of us is spiritually thirsty. Every single person in the entire world is spiritually thirsty. Not everyone recognizes it but we all long for meaning and purpose. We all experience pain and suffering. We all know the toil of work as a consequence of the fall. Those thing weigh on us every single day. And Jesus promises that when you come to him in belief, out of your heart will flow rivers of living waters. Through the ministry of the Spirit in you, the abounding grace of God in Christ will flow to you and from you. Your heart will display to others the transforming ministry of the Spirit. And others who likewise are given the Spirit will minister to you through him. To be sure, that does not minimize the impact of our remaining sin, nor does it minimize the realities of our suffering and grief in life. But what it does is give us an unshakeable foundation. Repentance from sin.  Hope in grief. Joy in suffering. Perseverance in trials. Through the Holy Spirit in us, we can live, not only with our eyes fixed on the cross and the redemption we have from our sin, but we can fix our eyes on our resurrected and glorified Lord. Through his Spirit, rivers of living water will flow. His ultimate sender is the Son, but the blessings of his ministry will flow from you to me and from me to you. It will flow between us and overflow to our community around us. An old song came to mind this week. A 1970's children's song. "I've got a river of life flowing out of me." Some of you are old enough to remember it. Do you remember the chorus? "Spring up, O well, within my soul; Spring up, O well, and make me whole; Spring up, O well, and give to me; That life abundantly" May that river of life, God's Spirit, abundantly minister in us and through us as we drink of the living waters of Christ. Amen? Divided Responses Now, we're not done. Here's where we are. Jesus made an astonishing offer. For those who come to him and drink, out of their hearts will flow the living water of God's Spirit. The question now is, how did the people respond? What did flow out of their hearts? Well for some it was curiosity, for another, it was an honest search. But for the priests and Pharisees, it was the exact opposite. Instead of rivers of living water, out of their hearts flowed hatred and bitterness. Let's consider those three categories in verse 40-52. (1) those intrigued by Jesus, (2) those who outright reject him, and (3) those honestly evaluating. That first group, those who are intrigued, find Jesus very interesting. He has interesting things to say. He's some kind of prophet. In verse 40, some said that he is THE prophet. That's a reference to Moses' prophecy in Deuteronomy that a Prophet would come after him. Others said, "This is the Christ." That may include some who truly believed. But we get the sense that it's just an external observation. After all, the apostle John does not use his favorite word, believe. He just notes that some "said" he was the Christ. I think we should also put the temple officers into this first category. Last week, we read that the chief priests and Pharisees sent the temple officers to arrest Jesus. These were Levites assigned to temple security. But notice that they did not arrest Jesus. And what was their reason? Verse 46, "No one ever spoke like this man!" They could not do what they were commanded to do because they were amazed by his teaching and authority. This first group is marked by an external recognition that Jesus is unique. He plays some important role in God's purposes. But they had yet to take the next step toward belief. I suspect some will. That brings us to the second group mentioned here - the chief priests and Pharisees. They are not intrigued by Jesus one bit. There is no possibility in their minds that he may truly be the Son of God. Their hearts are hard. Multiple times in these verses they react to even the suggestion that Jesus may be legitimate or the desire to consider his claims. And think about this: these were the very men who presided over the water ceremony at the feast. Some even participated in the water being poured out on the altar day after day, but they could not recognize the living water standing in their own temple courts Look at what they said to the officers that did not arrest Jesus. They said, "Have you also been deceived?" They then appealed to their own authority and they literally cursed the crowd. Verse 49, they said, "this crowd that does not know the law [you know, like they do] is accursed.” Think about the contrast between the hearts of the Pharisees and the hearts of those who would come to Jesus. Those who believe in Jesus are promised rivers of living water flowing from their hearts. Yet, out of the hearts of the Pharisees and chief priests came deceit and anger. And look how they responded to Nicodemus. Nicodemus was one of them. All Nicodemus wanted to do was judge fairly. But the Pharisees responded, "Are you from Galilee, too?" That's a classic ad hominem. They attacked Nicodemus for merely suggesting that Jesus deserved a fair hearing. They just wanted to kill Jesus. Rather than rivers of living water, out of their hearts flowed rivers of hate and self-serving unbelief. Out of some hearts will flow love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Those fruits of the Spirit, identified in Galatians 5, will flow forth from those who have been given the Spirit - those who believe. But out of the hearts of these so-called leaders of Israel flow self-idolatry, enmity, strife, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, and envy. Out of one flows fresh, clean water, spiritual water, that is life giving and quenches the soul, yet out of the other, stagnant, poisoned water that accuses and kills. Which brings us to the third response. I've already mentioned Nicodemus, but let's consider his response more thoroughly. In fact, I think Nicodemus was originally in that first category. He was intrigued. Back in chapter 3, as Coleman reminded us last week, Nicodemus had sought Jesus out at night. Something compelled Nicodemus to want to know more. But he didn't understand when Jesus told him he needed to be born again. He had yet to believe. But in these verses Nicodemus has moved from being intrigued to honestly desiring to evaluate Jesus' claims. He even defended Jesus, asking that he be given a fair hearing. We get the clear sense that Nicodemus was a man of integrity. Even though he was a teacher of Israel and part of the Sanhedrin, he wanted to know the truth. In verse 51, look what he says to his fellow Pharisees, "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?" Do you hear his honest desire to know the truth? I want to remind you that John wrote his Gospel primarily for Jews of the later first century. John has been revealing who Jesus is as the Messiah. And he wants his readers to have an open heart and mind like Nicodemus. John wants his readers to give Jesus a hearing, as verse 51 says. Really, John wants them to believe, but at this point in the book, he just wants them to take a step forward and truly evaluate Jesus for who he is. As Coleman pointed out last week, some of you here are like Nicodemus and have an honest heart and seek to live a life of integrity. But you've yet to respond to Jesus calling to come to him and drink. Will you evaluate Jesus' claims and calling? You know, as we move forward in the Gospel of John, one thing that we'll see is that the two neutral responses to Jesus will go away - both the intrigued by Jesus' response and the honest search response. The temple officers will be forced to choose. And Nicodemus himself will be called to account. What will they decide? We'll find out in chapters 18 and 19. What will you decide? So where does that leave us? Well, Jesus is still standing and calling out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink." The water that he gives will never run dry, because it is nothing less than the Holy Spirit, poured out from our risen and glorified Lord, applying all the riches of his death and resurrection to thirsty souls. And so, will you stand at a distance, intrigued but uncommitted? Will you be like Nicodemus, honestly seeking him out, but not yet willing to come to him and drink. Or will you drink of his life-giving stream? For those of you who have, the promise is yours: out of your heart will flow rivers of living water. The Spirit of truth and grace will flow in you and through you, forever. Amen.

7/19/26 Message from Andy Smith. Continuing in the series "Imago Dei"

Poetry can speak volumes through imagery and an economy of words, it truly is a beautiful art form. Right off the bat we are told that this psalm was written by David when he was in the desert, or wilderness. Whichever word you choose, this is a place of loneliness, of danger, thirst, and difficulty. It is a desperate place and a place of vulnerability to many types of threats. One of David's conclusions in this psalm is that God's love is better than life. It is the one thing that cannot be shaken, it is the one thing that is secure, steadfast, and unfailing. The desert places cannot touch the love of God no matter how it feels at the time. Like Paul, David seems convinced of this truth – we cannot be separated from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8) When we find ourselves in wilderness seasons – when all seems hopeless and the land of our souls is dry, weary, and without refreshment – let us remember God is here. God is with us. God loves us. He has not forsaken us. His love will not fail us. He will see us through and none of this will last forever. We will one day be satisfied in His presence and know His love face to face. In the meantime, let us cling to the One who is strong enough to save us and tenderly holds us close –Jesus—our Shepherd, our Comfort, our Living Water.  ------------To help us keep God's word planted deep into our hearts we encourage you to memorize a Psalm over the Summer. (The children in Grace Airways will be memorizing all of Psalm 23. We are confident that by hiding God's word in your heart in this way will bear fruit that will last all throughout your life.------------Prepare for this week's teaching by reading Psalm 63.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Jesus Makes Lemonade Sometimes God uses the most ordinary moments to teach us the deepest lessons. For me, it happened while driving in the car with my granddaughter, Penny, singing and dancing to Lemonade by Forrest Frank. Watching her simply enjoy the ride made me wonder: When did we stop living in the present and start trying so hard to control the destination? Life doesn't always unfold the way we imagined. Plans change. People disappoint us. Prayers aren't always answered the way we hoped. And suddenly, we find ourselves living in the middle—between what was and what comes next. But what if God isn't waiting for us at the end of the story? What if Jesus is already here, meeting us in the middle? In this episode, I share what a simple song about lemonade, climbing Cross Mountain in Medjugorje, and my own journey through heartbreak and divorce have taught me about suffering, healing, and transformation. God doesn't always remove the lemons from our lives. Instead, He enters into the sour and painful places and pours His grace into them. Jesus, the Living Water, can transform what we place in His hands into something we never expected. The difficult chapters don't disappear. But they can become part of something new. In this episode, I talk about trusting God in the middle of the story, finding Jesus in our crosses, allowing suffering to change our perspective, and believing that God is still writing even when life looks nothing like we planned. If you're holding some lemons today, remember this: Don't confuse the middle with the ending. The Author is still writing. And our God doesn't waste anything placed in His hands not one tear, one prayer, one disappointment, or one season of waiting. When life gives you lemons, remember: our Jesus makes the sweetest lemonade. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. She accompanies midlife women through divorce, grief, and major life transitions, helping them encounter God's healing and rediscover their purpose.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review this week's promises so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 145:8 – Your Gracious and Merciful God Psalm 86:7 – Call on the Lord and He Will Answer. John 7:37-38 – Living Water for the Thirsty Soul. Zechariah 4:6 – Not by My Strength, but by His Spirit. Psalm 23:4 – God is With Me.

Death Leads to Life: The Way of Jesus – John 12:27–50 In Episode 143 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore the closing section of John 12, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for the reality of the cross. Through His powerful teaching about the grain of wheat that must die to produce life, Jesus reveals a kingdom principle that changes everything: death leads to life. Together, they unpack what it means to surrender our own plans, ambitions, and desires so that God can produce something greater through us. As Jesus calls people out of darkness and into His light, this passage challenges us to consider where we are resisting surrender and where God may be inviting us into deeper trust. This conversation is a reminder that what feels like loss in God's hands often becomes the very place where new life begins. What is God asking me to surrender today so that He can bring greater life through it tomorrow? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
