Preparation Scriptures: Psalm 29 and Luke 3: 15-17, 21-22
This sermon explores the wide range of effects that water has on our lives ... from devastating floods ... to cleansing of our souls through baptism ... to its basic necessity for life itself. We, as Christians, are reminded that Jesus is the living water of our souls. It is our acceptance of this belief that ultimately supports us when we are challenged by life's difficult circumstances. And we, washed anew, are blessed by the power of God!
All my lifelong I have panted
for a drink from some cool spring.
That I hoped would quench the burning
of the thirst I felt within.
Hallelujah! I have found Him
whom my soul so long has craved.
Jesus satisfies my longing;
through his blood I now am saved.
SATISFIED ~ Ralph E. Hudson
