Good morning. Let's sing the
hymn in the back of the bulletin, if you could please stand up.
Thank you. Compared with Christ in all beside,
no beauty can I see. The one thing needful, dearest
Lord, is to be one with Thee. The scent of Thy redeeming love
into my soul convey. Thy stead be so, for Thee alone
my all, in all I pray. Less than thyself will not suffice
my comfort to restore. More than thyself I cannot crave,
and thou canst give no more. Loved of my God, for Him again,
with love intense I'd burn. Chosen of Thee, ere time began,
I choose Thee in return. May be seated. We open your Bibles with me to
Psalm 92 Psalm 92. It is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord. And to sing praises unto thy
name. Almost time. to show forth thy
loving kindness in the morning and thy faithfulness every night. Upon an instrument of 10 strings
and upon the psaltery, upon the harp with a solemn sound, for
thou, Lord, has made me glad through thy work. I will triumph
in the works of thy hands. Oh, Lord, how great are thy works
and thy thoughts are buried deep. A brutish man knoweth not, neither
doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the
grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish, it is
that they shall be destroyed forever. But thou, Lord, are
most high forevermore. For lo, thine enemies, O Lord,
for lo, thine enemies shall perish all the workers of iniquity,
shall be scattered. But my horn shall thou exalt
like the horn of a unicorn. I shall be anointed with fresh
oil. Mine eyes also shall see my desire
on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked
that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish
like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in
Lebanon. Those that be planted in the
house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. Let me read that verse again.
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish
in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth
fruit in old age. They shall be flat, a fat and
flourishing. To show that the Lord is upright.
He is my rock. And there is no unrighteousness. In him. Now with me for prayer, please. Our gracious Heavenly Father. We are in great need of you to visit with us today. We pray, Lord, that you would
be pleased to speak to our hearts. We thank you for your word. We
thank you for the gift of faith. Father, we pray that you would
increase our faith and enable us to rest our hope in that one
in whom there is no unrighteousness at all. For it's in his name
we pray, amen. Can we stand again and sing to
him a number 70 on your hardback, number 70. ? Holy, holy, holy ? Lord God Almighty
? Early in the morning ? Our song shall rise to Thee Holy,
holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed
Trinity. ? Holy, holy, holy ? ? All the
saints adore thee ? ? Casting down their golden crowns ? ?
Around the glassy sea ? ? Cherubim and seraphim ? falling down before
thee, which word and hour and evermore shall be. Holy, holy, holy, though the
darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may
not see. Holy, thou art holy. There is none beside thee perfect
in power, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty. All thy works shall praise thy
name in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and
mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity. ABC. Will you open your Bibles with
me to Zechariah chapter 14. Zechariah chapter 14. Titled this message, Living Water. Just as water is absolutely essential
to physical life, so the water of life The Lord Jesus Christ
is pictured time and time again in the scriptures as that river
which flows clear as crystal from the throne of God. So it
is that he is essential to our spiritual life. Will I have life
without him? Paul said, I'm not ashamed of
the gospel. of the Lord Jesus Christ, for
it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth to
the Jew first and also to the Greek. The gospel, the gospel
tells us who the Lord Jesus Christ is and what he has accomplished
in order to provide for his people the water of life. Now in Zechariah
chapter 14 at verse 8, and it shall be in that day that living
waters shall go out from Jerusalem. Living waters shall go out from
Jerusalem. Living water is life-giving water. It's not stagnant, polluted water
of manmade broken cisterns. It is the well of life that the
Lord Jesus Christ spoke to the woman at the well in John chapter
four. Turn with me there. John chapter
four. Our Lord is revealing who he
is to this poor woman. who was in great need. And in verse, in verse 10, and Jesus answered
and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, She didn't know
who she was talking to. If thou knewest the gift of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ himself is God's gift to sinners. If thou knewest the gift of God
and who it is that saith unto thee, give me to drink, thou
would have asked him and he would have given thee living water. If you only knew who I was, You'd
be asking me for water. See, that's the progression. The Lord has to reveal himself
before we're moved to ask, and he makes himself known through
the preaching of the gospel. The woman said unto him, sir,
thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence
then hast thou this living water? All she could identify the words
of the Lord with were the physical well that was standing before
them. She had no idea that the Lord was talking about a well
that could not be seen with the physical eye, a well that provided
water that could not be drank with the physical mouth. This
well was Christ. He is that spiritual well from
which comes forth living water. Art thou greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well and drank thereof himself and
his children and his cattle? What do you think you're, you're
better than Jacob? Oh, if you only knew, if you
only knew. And Jesus, she's gonna know.
And Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this
water shall thirst again. You drink from physical water
to satisfy your physical thirst, and you have to keep going back
to that same physical water. This spiritual water, this water
that Christ gives, He said that in John chapter 17, he spoke
of this water as being a well that flows forth from the heart. Jesus answered and said to her,
whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst,
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into everlasting life. That's the water that we
need. That's, that's what we have to
have. Lord, I've got to, I've got to drink of that well that
only you can give me access to. And the woman said to him, sir,
give me this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. She still didn't understand.
And Jesus said unto her, why didn't she understand? Because
she had to be made dependent. She had to be made a sinner.
And so the Lord said unto her, go call thy husband and come
hither. And the woman answered and said,
I have no husband. And Jesus said unto her, thou
hast well said, I have no husband. For thou hast had five husbands
and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband in that thou
sayest truly. She spoke the truth. I like that
Syrophoenician woman that came begging the Lord for the mercy,
for his mercy on her child, and the Lord called her a dog. She
had to come to that place. She had to be made a dog, didn't
she? And then she said, truth, Lord, truth, Lord. I remember
hearing Henry Mahan say one time that no honest person goes to
hell. There's a lot of truth to that. You speak the truth to God. You amen. What do I do to speak the truth?
You amen what God says. That's how you speak the truth.
Truth, Lord, whatever you say is right. Yes, you're right,
I don't have a husband. The woman saith unto him, sir,
I perceive that thou art a prophet. Oh, she's diverting the attention
now. Our fathers, our fathers worshiped
in this mountain. And you say that in Jerusalem
is the place where men ought to worship. And Jesus said to
her, woman, believe me, believe me. And God is still saying to
me and you believe me. You've tried to find all these
other hiding places. You've, you, you, you've, you've
listened to all these other lies. Believe me. In me is life, in
me is truth. The hour cometh when you shall
neither in this mountain nor yet in Jerusalem worship the
father. You worship what you know not. We know what we worship
for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh and now is
when the true worshiper shall worship the father in spirit
and in truth for the father seeketh such to worship him. Oh, don't you want the father
to seek you? Seek you. Hey. He never was unable to catch
somebody. He saw it. And when God, God seeks a man,
he, he leaves the 99 and goes after the one sheep that's lost
in the wilderness brings him back. Doesn't he? God is spirit and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth. And the woman said
unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ,
and when he's come, he'll tell us all things. I know that when
the Christ comes, he'll straighten all this mess out. And what did
the Lord say? Here's the literal interpretation
of verse 26. We have in our text, Jesus said
unto her, I that speaketh unto thee am he. And the literal interpretation
is I am speaketh unto thee. Oh, that Christ that you're hoping
for that Christ you're waiting. He's speaking to you. If you
knew who it is that sayeth unto thee, give me to drink, you would
ask of him and he would give you living water. And now he
makes himself known to her. He says that Christ that you've
been hoping for and waiting for, I am." And immediately she went
back down into Sychar and she said to everybody, come, come
meet a man who told me everything I ever did. Is not this the Christ? The Lord tarried there. He had
other sheep there. He is that living water. Turn
to me to John chapter seven. John chapter seven, the Feast
of Tabernacles, the Feast of Harvest. And the Lord makes it
clear what this feast is really all about. He said, say not that
there are yet three months to harvest, for I say unto you that
the wheat is already white unto harvest. Pray ye that the Lord
of the harvest will send out laborers into the harvest. So
this is the harvest festival. And now they've come to the last
day of the harvest festival. And part of this feast of tabernacles is what
it is, is that the priest would go down to Hezekiah's well and
draw water out of the well and bring it up and pour it out on
the altar. So this was the last event of
the Feast of Tabernacles, and this was the high moment of worship
when all of Jerusalem came together to see the pouring out of this
living water that had come out of Hezekiah's well. In verse 37, and there would
have been singing and great rejoicing, but in this moment, in this moment,
at this high moment of worship that had been total silence as
the water was being poured out. And during that moment of total
silence and at the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried saying, if any man thirst, let him come
unto me. And he that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers
of living water. But this spake he of the Spirit,
which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus would not yet glorified."
Well, he is glorified now. He's ascended back up into glory. He told the disciples, In Acts
chapter one on the Mount of Olives, you go back into Jerusalem and
the Holy Ghost will come upon you and you will be my witnesses
in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost parts
of the world. For this same Jesus, caught up in the glory, will
come in like manner. In the meantime, in the meantime,
and we've been in the meantime for the last 2,000 years, in
the meantime, Jerusalem is going to send out rivers of living
water. Go back with me to our text. This living water doesn't flow
from anywhere else. It flows from the church of the
Lord Jesus Christ. It flows from those assemblies
of believers that support the gospel of God's free grace in
the glorious person and finished work of Christ. Our schools don't send out living
water. Our government doesn't send out
living water. They all have their place, and
we're thankful for what they are able to do in this world,
but all they're doing is is teaching people how to draw water out
of the well. That's it. They're giving physical
water. All the things of this world. The church, the Jerusalem, that's
the city of peace. That's the assembly of God's
people. That's where the living water
goes out. Look, and it shall be in that day that living water
shall go out from Jerusalem. It's where it goes out from nowhere
else. That's our call. We don't have. We don't have a call to get involved
in anything else. It's not our place to entertain.
It's not our place to get involved in politics, not our place to
to to to to support. all the things that may be good
in and of their own way, it's our place to send out the living
water. Because apart from that water,
there's no life. There's no salvation. There's
no hope. Where does this water go? Where does it go? And it shall be in that day.
This is very sobering. I want you to pay special attention
to this. That living water shall go out
from Jerusalem. And half of them toward the former
sea. Now, the former sea is the sea
to the east. And the sea to the east is the
Dead Sea. And so the Lord says half of
the water that goes out of Jerusalem is going to empty into the Dead
Sea. Now the reason the Dead Sea is
called the Dead Sea is because it can support no life. The water goes into it, the Dead
Sea has no way for the water to come out. And so what happens
is the water that flows into the Dead Sea from the Jordan
River and from the other tributaries, it evaporates. The Dead Sea,
by the way, is the lowest point on the face of the globe, 1,400
feet below sea level. And the water evaporates and
it leaves behind the solid minerals and salts so that there's no
life in the Dead Sea. And that's where half of this
water is going. It's going to those. The Dead Sea, on the other
hand, also is in the desert. It's in a desert. What's the
picture here? Many are called, but few are
chosen. This message of the gospel goes
out into the world and a lot of people will listen, but they
won't hear. And the evaporation of the living
water will leave nothing in their hearts but salt and minerals. And because they have no access,
they have no way for the water to go, you see the believer,
the water comes in, the water goes out. How's it go out? It
goes out in worship. It comes in in grace and it goes
out in worship. That's the living water. But
half of this water is gonna go to the Dead Sea. And there's
no way for the water to come out of a man who's not able to
worship God. And so he just evaporates and he's left with no life whatsoever. And then the other half, the
other half, look, and half of them towards the Hinder Sea.
Now that's the Mediterranean Sea. You know Israel is separated
between those two bodies of water. You know, I've been thinking
about this, that when we, in the New Testament, all the missionary
efforts of the church, Jerusalem, went west. And as far as I know, to this
day, the gospel has never gone east from Jerusalem. Never has. Say, well, the gospel's
gone to India and China. There's believers there, aren't
there? No, I suppose there are, but didn't come from Israel. The progression of the gospel.
When Paul went on his missionary journeys, what did he use? He
used the Mediterranean Sea as a highway to take the gospel
into Europe. And the gospel for the last 2,000
years has moved westward, not eastward. The Lord says the water is going
to end up in the Dead Sea. Now, forget the geographics or
the history of all of that and just understand that the Lord
sends his gospel out into the world and some of the people
that are going to hear it are not going to have life. God's going to bless it in other
places and it's going to save, it's going to give life. Lord,
let me be at the former sea, not behind her sea. When does this, here's the, you
see, all the world, including this group here this
morning, is divided into two seas. Scripture makes that clear. There's
no neutral ground when it comes to the gospel. None. Was it Agrippa that said to the
Apostle Paul, almost thou persuadest me to become a Christian? And
what did Paul say? Oh, I would to God that thou
not almost, but would altogether believe what I believe and be
as I am. You see, there's no almost becoming
a Christian. You're in the former sea, you're
in the hunter sea. You're in the dead sea, you're in the Mediterranean
sea. This river of life goes that way, but it either gives
life or it gives death. All men are either Pharisees
or they're publicans. They're either blind or they
have sight. They either hear or they don't hear. They're deaf.
There's no in between, there's no purgatory when it comes to
the gospel. It's one way or the other. That's
why the Lord said, if you're not for me, you're against me.
You either believe God or you don't believe God. You're either
perfectly righteous or you're perfectly unrighteous. The Lord
said this living water, this gospel of God's free grace in
the glorious person of the Lord Jesus Christ who himself is the
water of life and who himself was poured out on that great
day of the feast as the priest poured out that water. The Lord
Jesus Christ was poured out on Calvary's cross in order to satisfy
God's justice. nor to put away our sins." And
he says to the world, if any man thirst, let him come unto
me and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Come to Christ. He's the only
one. Everything else is emptying into
the Dead Sea. You're either lost or you're
saved. You're either under the law or
you're under grace. You're either foolish or you're
wise. And every single person that
you look at in this world fits into one of those two camps. The gospel either flows into
the Dead Sea or it flows into the Mediterranean Sea. It either
gives life or it gives death. It is a message of death. to those who believe not. And
here's the humbling thing, brethren. Oh, please hear me. I want to
be I'm I'm humbled by this truth more than anybody could be because
I've been charged of God to stand up here and preach this message. Those who have heard and those
who have spoken and have not believed are under greater condemnation. Turn me to Joshua chapter 24.
Joshua chapter 24. This living water, which goes
out of Jerusalem, it goes to the east, and dumps into the Dead Sea,
and it goes to the West, and it's carried to the world. One way or the other. Joshua chapter 24, look with
me at verse 13, and I, and if you let your eyes scan that whole
chapter, you'll see that the personal pronoun I is used 16
times. God's saying, I did this. I called
you out of Egypt. I gave you life. I gave you a
land that you did not work for. And verse 13, he says, and I
have given you a land for which you did not labor and cities
which you built not and you shall dwell in them in the vineyards
and the olive yards which you planted not do you eat. I'm going
to provide everything for you and you're not going to be, you're
not going to have anything to do with it. You didn't build
the city. You didn't plant the vineyards.
You didn't produce the fruit. I did it all. You're the benefactor. I'm the provider. That's the
gospel. That's contrary to what man thinks.
So, well, I've got to do something to make this work, don't I? Now, therefore. in light of the
fact that God has done it all. Now, therefore, fear the Lord. Fear the Lord. Believe God. Worship him. Amen, everything he says. Bow
before the Lord Jesus Christ. And serve him in sincerity and
in truth. Don't let your religion be hypocritical.
Don't, don't, don't, don't be like that child who, who, who
cries a feigned cry in order to try to get the attention of
his parents. Lord, there's enough hypocrisy in every one of us
to, to cause us to fear whether we'd be the hypocrite. Lord,
cause me, cause me to worship you in sincerity. and in truth. And put away the gods which your
father served on the other side of the flood. Put those gods
away. They're a false refuge. They
are a lie. Put them away. And in Egypt, and serve you the
Lord, And if it seemed evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose
this day whom you will serve. Now, is God telling us that salvation
is a choice? No, look at this verse. He's
saying don't choose between the Lord and a false God. What he's
saying is some of you are worshiping the gods on the other side of
the river in Egypt. Some of you are worshiping the
gods of the Amorites. You can't worship two gods. No
man can serve two masters. Choose a god. You're going to
worship money? Worship money. You're going to
worship a false god over here? Worship a false god over here.
But choose a god. If it seemed evil unto you to
serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve, whether
the gods which your father served that were on the other side of
the flood or the gods of the Amorite in whose land you dwell.
There's the choice. And men are making that choice
every day, picking what their God's going to be for that day. But as for me and my house, we've
got no choice but to serve the Lord. Oh, the world needs to hear that,
don't they? Turn to me over just a few pages
to 1 Kings chapter 18. 1 Kings chapter 18. I say the world needs to hear that.
I need to hear that. You need to hear that. Truth
is, God's people are the only ones that hear anyway. The rest
of them, the water's just flowing into the Dead Sea. And whatever
in that water has life to it is being evaporated by the heat
of the sun. 1 Kings 18, look at verse 21. Now you know the story here.
This is Elijah on Mount Carmel with the prophets of Baal. And
in verse 21, Elijah came unto all the people and said, How
long halt ye between two opinions? That's all man-made religion
is, is an opinion. It's an opinion. And one opinion
is about as good as the next opinion. God's setting his truth
in contrast to all the opinions of men. Now you want to rest
the hope of your soul on an opinion? On your opinion? Or somebody
else's opinion? Or do you want to believe God?
That's what Elijah is saying. How long halt ye between two
opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him.
But if Baal, then follow him. And notice the next phrase. And the people answered him not
a word. And by not answering him, they made their choice.
They made their choice. So that's when he took the bullock
and divided it up and poured the water on the altar. And he
said, and the God which answereth by fire, he is God. And the prophets of Baal cut
themselves and begged and pleaded for their God to come. And their
God was nothing more than a figment of their imagination. They didn't
have a God. It was just their opinion. And
then Elijah prays and prays for the fire of God to fall, which
is a picture that sacrifice, that Bullock is Christ that alters
the cross. That fire is God's wrath and
judgment and putting away our sin. And the fire failed and
licked up the water and consumed the sacrifice. And the fire was
quenched. It was put out by the sacrifice. And when the people saw that, when the people saw that, look
at verse 39, turn over to verse 39. And when all the people saw
it, they fell on their faces and they said, the Lord, he is
the God, the Lord, he is the God. Oh, have you seen the fire of
God fall on Christ? Have you seen God satisfied with
the sacrifice that Christ made for your sin? Are you trying
to add to or take away from something that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished?
When God gives you eyes of faith to see the fire of God fall on
Christ, you say, the Lord, he's God, he's God. No middle ground. All this water
is going to one sea or the other. Turn back with me to our text. When does the water go out? This is Jerusalem. This is where
the living water goes out. And living water is Christ. We
preach Christ and Him crucified. We profess to know nothing among
you, save Christ and Him crucified. He's the living water. We understand
that the outward call goes to all men, but the inward call
is the work of the Spirit of God that makes it effectual and
gives faith to believe. And those who only hear the outward
call are going to end up in the Dead Sea. Oh, but those who hear
the inward call end up in glory. Lord, make me to differ. Make
me to differ. When does it go out? Look at
the rest of verse 8. Half of them towards the Hindersee
in summer and in winter it shall go. Now don't be concerned about
the fact that fall and spring are left out, because that's
that's an expression telling us that it always goes out. all
year round, weekend and week out, when it's convenient and
when it's not convenient, in season and out of season, we
preach Christ and Him crucified. And it's good for us, isn't it? To hear about the Lord Jesus
Christ. We don't wanna get involved in politics, We don't want to
get involved in giving men something to bolster their pride and ego
with in terms of just knowledge. We want Christ, we want the water
to flow freely. How does this book end? If any
man thirst, let him come. Drink from the river of life
freely, freely. We're to preach the gospel all
the time, that's all we do. That's all we do. I've been accused,
you know, he just preaches the same thing time and time again.
And they think that they're making an accusation of shame against
me, but they don't realize that's my badge of honor. And that's your badge of honor.
We've got nothing better to preach. We've got no one, no one more
sufficient to save. He is able to save to the uttermost
them that come to God by him. We don't want to get involved
in anything else. Look at verse nine. And I asked
this question, what are the results of this living water going out?
And the answer to that question is unity. Unity. Look at verse 9. And the Lord,
when this water goes out from Jerusalem, some of it's going
to go to the Dead Sea, some of it's going to go to the Mediterranean.
Some of it's going to be a saver of life, some of it's going to
be a saver of death. Some people are going to believe,
others are not going to believe. And anyone standing in neutral
ground, Well, nothing in the middle of the road but dead skunks,
okay? You can't stand in the middle
of the road. How long halt you between two
opinions? What are the results? The result
is that the Lord shall be king over all the earth. In that day
shall there be one Lord and his name one. They shall all see
eye to eye. They shall be in total agreement
about who the Lord Jesus Christ is and what he's accomplished. There's no division in Christ. There's unity, unity among God's
people. May God be pleased to make that
the result of the gospel going out. When was the last time your
hand got angry at your foot and you started beating your foot
with your hand? When was the last time your fist
got angry with your right eye and you started beating your
eye with your fist? You see, you don't do that, do you? You
don't do that. So it is with the body of Christ,
they shall be one, one Lord, one King, one God, one father
and savior of us all, one Lord, one church, one baptism, that
God may be all in all. That's the result of the gospel
going out. And we know that God blesses his gospel when there
is unity, unity, one King, and all subjects bowing to that King. No one's questioning the authority
of that King. Look at verse 10. And all the
land shall be turned as a plane from Geba to Rehman, south of
Jerusalem, and it shall be lifted up and inhabited in her place
from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto
the corner of the gate, and from the tower of Hananiel unto the
king's wine presses. What is the king's wine presses?
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the people there
was none with me. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ
did on Calvary's cross. And the gospel levels the ground. We don't have clergy laity. We
don't have one believer trying to intimidate another believer.
The ground at the foot of the cross is level. And all God's
people are the same. They're all mercy beggars. They're
all believers. They're all dependent upon Christ.
What's he say? I'm going to make a plane out
of Jerusalem. I'm going to remove the barriers.
I'm going to throw those mountains of sin into the ocean and remember
them no more. What sweet fellowship there is
when all of God's people believe themselves to be the chief of
all sinners. No pretension, no competition,
no intimidation. That's what the Lord says is
going to be the result of this river that goes out this river of life. And men shall dwell in it. And
I close and men shall dwell in it. And there shall be no more utter
destruction. But Jerusalem. shall be safely
inhabited. Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. No greater, no safer place on
the face of the earth. And to sit and hear about what
the Lord Jesus Christ has done to accomplish my salvation. Let's pray. Our Heavenly Father,
we're thankful for the river of life that flows from thy throne
and know how we pray that your spirit would cause it to flow
into our hearts. Lord, don't make us to be like
that former sea. We ask that you would give faith
to believe. Or we ask it in Christ name.
Amen. We're going to have baptism.
Jeanette, where are you? If you'd like to go get ready,
Burt, can you come and lead us into him? Number 332. Let's stand
together. 332. My Jesus, I love Thee, I know
Thou art mine. For thee, all the follies of
sin, I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior
