Restored and Released | The River | Ryan Lutz

What if you were meant to be more than just a receiver of God’s grace—you were meant to be a source of life to the world around you?In the final week of our series The River, Pastor Ryan Lutz unpacks Ezekiel 47:1–12 and 1 Corinthians 3:16 to show how, through Jesus, we are restored as the temple of God. The Gospel brings us back into right relationship with Him, and from our lives now flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).This message makes the Gospel crystal clear:We were created for God’s presence.Sin separated us from Him.Jesus died and rose again to restore us.By faith, we are forgiven, saved, and filled with His Spirit.And it doesn’t stop there. As restored temples, we are released on mission. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20) is our calling to let the river of living water flow from us into our homes, neighborhoods, and the nations. We are commissioned to share Jesus—not alone, but together, empowered by the Spirit (Acts 1:8).💧 Big Idea: Through Jesus, we are restored as God’s temple, and His Spirit flows from us to bring life to a thirsty world.📖 Key Scriptures: Ezekiel 47:1–12, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Matthew 28:18–20, John 7:38, Acts 1:8🔔 Subscribe to stay connected with weekly messages from Bethany Missionary Church.👍 Like this video if it encouraged you.💬 Comment how God is calling you to let His river flow through your life.📲 Share this message to spread the hope of Jesus.#RestoredAndReleased #TheRiverSeries #BethanyMissionaryChurch #Sermon #LivingWater #GreatCommission #Gospel
