(Sundaycast) Giving The Living Water (Isaiah 48:21; Mark 9:41) (Stewardship)

This photo was taken in front of Mount Hermon, a huge rock of a mountain in the north of Israel. I’m there with a tour group asking the question, “why did Jesus bring the disciples to this place to ask the question, ‘who do you say that I am?’ “ The reason is that from the base of this rock mountain, the Jordan River begins. The river that gives life to Israel and Jordan below it has its source in a rock. The water flows from the rock. The confession of Peter flowed from his mouth and his heart. The confession is what gives life. You and I are the “Peters” of today. We may be rocky disciples like Peter but out of our mouths flow rivers of living waters to bless the world to which Jesus sends us. Go! The Lord has chosen you to be a blessing. You are the one bringing the waters of life today.
