Go With The Flow Sequence: RefuelHydrating the soul

We welcome everyone to our zionsville church
Three annual pilgrimage feasts for your Jews…
• Feast of Passover – celebrated inside the spring to recognize the beginning of the grain harvest
• Feast of Pentecost – occurred 7 weeks later, celebrating the finish of the grain harvest
• Feast of Tabernacles – week-long autumn harvest festival
John seven:37-38
37 To the final and greatest day time of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is
thirsty, allow him can come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of dwelling water will flow from within just
him.”
Jesus’ creed of the latest – keep in keeping with the present and you will be fine.
Psalm 92:12
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
Proverbs 14:eleven
The home of the wicked will likely be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
John ten:ten
The thief comes only to steal and destroy and destroy; I have can come that they may well have existence, and also have it to the
full.
A flourishing existence = it comes from outside on your own,
provides renewal inside on your own,
for your sake of creating blessing past on your own.
I. It comes from outside yourself…
A foundational fact in existence is that there is actually a god and its not you.
“There is actually a God. It is not you. This is the beginning of wisdom. At initial, it appears like bad news due to the fact I
would prefer to run the world. I would prefer to gratify my desires. I would prefer to have my individual way. But when
we think about it, this concept turns out to become really excellent news. It indicates that someone much wiser and much more
capable is operating the present. It is his work to become God; it really is my work to learn to allow him be who he is. The
Bible says, ‘The idiot has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ I suppose the even bigger idiot, looking in
the mirror, has said, ‘There is actually a god!’ for your oldest temptation is that we ‘will be like God.’ Genuine existence,
nonetheless, starts when I die to the false god that’s me.” – John Ortberg
II. provides renewal inside yourself…
– the present of Jesus’ dwelling water usually flows inside the path of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5)
– when someone bumps into me, what spills out of me reveals what’s inside of me.
III. creating blessing past yourself…
– the present of Jesus’ dwelling water flows outward, in loving acts of service to other folks
– Augustine described sin as a existence turned in on itself. Jesus said we’ll discover existence once we give ours away.
