Living Water
Jun 14, 2026 • Ken Roth
Jesus, fully God and fully human, encounters a marginalized Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, using her physical thirst as a metaphor for the soul's deep, unquenchable longing for true life. He reveals that all earthly pursuits—relationships, pleasures, and even religious traditions—are like dry wells that temporarily satisfy but ultimately leave the heart parched, because they cannot deliver the eternal life found only in Him. By exposing her past and confronting her deepest needs, Jesus offers living water that becomes a spring within, providing eternal life—a transformative, abiding relationship with God that begins now and endures forever. The sermon calls listeners to recognize their own spiritual thirst, repent of seeking life in false sources, and receive this free gift of salvation through faith, obedience, and a renewed orientation toward Christ as the sole source of lasting fulfillment.
