Don’t Get Used to God


Listen Later

In this message from Season 14 Episode 8, Pastor Ryan McVety delivers a powerful reminder about spiritual hunger.

In Psalm 63, David cries out: “O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you.”

Yet many believers today have stopped thirsting for God, not because He isn’t present, but because He has always been present.

What is always available is easy to take for granted.

Using the story of the woman at the well in John 4, this message exposes the empty wells our culture teaches us to drink from:

  • success
  • relationships
  • money
  • platform
  • pleasure

Each one promises fulfillment, yet leaves us thirsty again. But Jesus offers something different. He offers living water that satisfies the deepest thirst of the human soul. And when someone truly encounters that living water, everything changes. The woman left her jar behind and became a witness that led an entire town to Christ.

This sermon challenges listeners to return to their first love for Jesus, rediscover spiritual desperation, and move from getting used to God to being used by God.
