Obey your Thirst

September 21, 2025

Speaker Rev Curtis Anderson

 

1. Jesus is the only true source of living water – all other pursuits (success, relationships, approval, pleasure) are broken wells that leave us empty, but He alone satisfies the deepest thirst of the soul.

2. Spiritual thirst is universal and urgent – we are created for God, and misplaced worship leads to spiritual dehydration; rituals and traditions cannot replace a genuine relationship with Jesus.

3. Following Jesus is costly but life-giving – the Christian journey is a narrow, difficult path that involves suffering, testing, and perseverance, but also leads to true life, transformation, and peace.

4. The Holy Spirit empowers and overflows – belief in Jesus results not only in personal renewal but in becoming a source of life and blessing for others, as the Spirit produces love, patience, kindness, and power.

5. The invitation is urgent and personal – every person must choose how to respond to Jesus’ call; now is the time to surrender idols, brokenness, and struggles, and to drink deeply of His grace and restoration.
