God is our life. God is our home. God is our dwelling place.

But how often do we leverage our home, our greatest investment, for the sake of the Kingdom? Jesus assumes that you and I will open our homes, our apartments, our condos up to outsiders. 

When was the last time you connected with someone who never gets invited? Jesus wasn't afraid to connect with people that other avoided.

We have all been given gifts of different kinds. God gives us these gifts to be able to go out and give to other people the talents we have been given. This is what stewardship is all about.

Keep loving. Keep serving. Keep praying. Keep giving. Keep trusting. God is faithful.

The living water of Jesus Christ is what give us life. It is intended to come through us and do good works.

And only Jesus could create something like that. 

The goodness in my life that I have is because of the goodness, the mercy, and the grace of God. 

The church is the witness of the living waters of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

In the middle of ministry, from one very busy frantic activity moment to when he gets off on the shore, and the people are already gathered again to teach, Jesus says, "Hey guys, let's take a break, let's just pause for a moment, and let's stop and catch our breath."
