<div class="SSN_title">"TO A THIRSTY WORLD."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Early explorers to this land searched for a fountain of youth. Their search was in vain. There is, however, a fountain of life, once a man drinks he may live forever.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THERE IS A BASIC THIRST DEEP WITHIN EVERY MAN.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. We have a sense of unfulfilled purpose.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Tombstone epitaph, "Since I was so soon done for, I wonder what I was begun for."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. There must be more to life than 8-5 routine.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. I desire to be or have.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Ever have a taste for something but you couldn't figure out what?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. This thirst is the reason behind:</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The alcoholic.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The drug abuse.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The disco craze.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. The pleasure mania.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. The large followings after religious freaks.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. How frustrating and unfulfilling are our substitutes.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Rather than quenching your thirst, it only increases it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Nothing can make me thirstier than drinking a coke when I'm thirsty.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Notice the buzz words of the advertisers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Satisfy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Happy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Real.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. New.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THERE IS ONLY ONE REAL THIRST QUENCHER.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The sense of unfulfilled purpose is true.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. You were created for one basic purpose, fellowship with God, anything less than that will never satisfy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. No amount of money or material possessions will satisfy your spiritual thirst.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Perfect understanding of yourself will not help.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. There is no thrill or experience apart from God that can satisfy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Jesus made several radical claims. You may not believe them but you can't ignore.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He claimed He was God's Son sent by His Father to this earth.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "I am the Bread of Life, eat of Me and..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. "I am the Light of the world, walk with Me and you will never stumble."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "I am the Door to the sheepfold, if you try to enter any other way..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">e. "I am the Resurrection and the Life."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">f. "He who drinks of the water that I give will never thirst again. Come unto Me and drink."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. This is the basic message of the gospel.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. There is much more to life than the physical material things. Your thirst can be quenched, fellowship with God can be a reality. Jesus Christ is the Way, the only way.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. You may dispute the claims of Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You may feel there are other paths to God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Can you say that your soul is at peace with God today?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Can you say you are completely satisfied?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Can you say you have no fear of death?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Though you may dispute His claims, you can't disprove them.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You must somehow rationalize the claims of thousands here this morning, who will testify to the joy, peace, satisfaction.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. TO A THIRSTY WORLD, JESUS SAYS "COME."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. And the Spirit and the bride say come.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Let him that is athirst come.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Whosoever will let him come and drink of the water of life freely.</div>
