Gihon: Awakening

In this message delivered by Luke LeDesma, Pastor Treaster, and Pastor Wade, we are awakened to the truth that God has always provided a path—like the ancient Gihon spring—that draws us toward His throne, transforms our weakness into strength, and fills us with living water that now flows from within us. Through the stories of David conquering Jerusalem, Solomon’s coronation, Hezekiah’s chiseling of the tunnel, and Jesus healing the blind man at Siloam, we see a pattern: what begins as an external invitation becomes an internal reality as the Spirit and the Word carve out space in us for God’s life to flow freely. Though the enemy may mock us as “blind and lame,” we discover that our moments of mud, pressure, and chiseling are actually the very means by which God builds spiritual muscle and momentum in us. As we awaken to our identity as those who carry the living water, we rise—not just forgiven, but walking as kings, sources of life for our families, our community, and the world.
