David Macdonald - June 21st - A Father’s Faith (John 4:43-54) Psalms 119:67 Matthew 15:26 Matthew 12:13, Matthew 16:23, Luke 16:9, 1 Peter 1:6-7 Faith can be misplaced or weak – HELP! Faith in a Power Nobleman didn't trust Christ specifically – it seems that he had faith in “power” He wasn’t concerned with source, just wanted his son to be better Hoped Jesus had the power Faith needs exercise – strengthening Faith in a Promise – vs. 50 “go your son will live” Do you believe the Word of God? The man believed the Word – before he had proof of the healing Promises and comforts of the Scriptures Sometimes we need to bolster our faith so that we can believe – Help my unbelief Mark 9:14-24 Mark 9:14-24 Faith Must be placed in a PERSON – Lord Jesus Christ Faith in a Person John 4:51-54

(vs. 9) c) Strange time to draw water – i. Noon ii. Alone d) Jesus turns conversation to heart of the matter – a) Vs. 10 – “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.“  He made her curious –  He made her curious about the things of God (If you knew the gift of God).  He made her curious about who Jesus is (who it is who says to you).  He made her curious about what He could give her (He would have given you living water). JOHN 4:10, 13-14 – THE OFFER – LIVING WATER  People are thirsty  Don’t admit it  Don’t recognize it  Try to satisfy it and thirst never quenched  Pleasure Possessions  Addictions Fame  Wealth Relationships  Career Path THIRST AGAIN  If only….  Panama company  “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever.”  Satisfy spiritual longing –  Will become a spring – in the person – living & fresh  Life giving – everlasting life ARE YOU THIRSTY? How to get Living Water John 7:37-39 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. (38) Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" (39) Now this He said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.  What if you have come to Jesus, but seem to be thirsting again? Spurgeon -  Someone might object: “I drank of what Jesus offers, and I feel thirsty and empty again.” The answer is simple: drink again! It isn’t a one-time sip of Jesus that satisfies forever, but continual connection with Him.”  Have you found satisfaction in the Living Water – the Lord Jesus Christ – the Bible ends with this invitation  Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
