(John 7:37-8) – Jesus said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink… as the Scripture said, from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.” … this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive.

Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement wrote a book about the power of the Holy Spirit in your life and titled it “Living Water”. The Holy Spirit is the primary agent of the Godhead working in the world today. He is the person of the Godhead to whom we relate most closely. He is the One who is gathering a body of believers – the bride of Christ – to present unto the Lord. And the church through the Holy Spirit is doing the work of God in the world. He is here to be our strength. He is here to be our provider. Anytime that we need help in any kind of situation, we can know that the Holy Spirit is here to be our helper. That is why it is so vitally important that each of us come to know the person of the Holy Spirit, to know Him in His fullness.

To this end, we will be reading and discussing the book Living Water this fall. May we all experience this living water as we walk in the Spirit, delighting in the fullness that God desires for each of us.
