Though the Lord had brought them out of Egypt, “all the congregation of the people of Israel” grumbled against Him because “there was no water for the people to drink” (Exodus 17:1). Despite their quarreling, the Lord graciously provided for them. He did not strike the people for their sins, but by the hand of Moses He struck the rock instead and brought forth water for the people.

In the same way, living water flows from the pierced side of Christ at “about the sixth hour” (John 4:6; 19:14), when He is lifted up on the cross for the sins of the world. He is “the gift of God” (John 4:10), the well from which the Holy Spirit is poured out and becomes in His people “a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14).  By this grace in which we stand, being at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, we “worship the Father in spirit and truth” (John 4:23).

“We rejoice in hope of the glory of God” because “God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:2, 5).

Living Water

This week we meditate on

~ In Case of Inclement Weather ~

  • In the event of weather that makes it unsafe to drive to worship, the Elders will work with Pastor to determine if we need to cancel Sunday worship or other activities. Please tune to KMBC (local ABC affiliate channel 9) for closure notification.

  • We will also update our website and our Facebook page, and you may receive e-mail notification from the church office.

  • If possible, we will post a pre-recorded sermon message from Pastor Dunn on our Facebook page by our usual worship time.

We Worship the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Spirit and Truth of His Gospel
