The River Pt 3: Evidence of the River

Marcus Herbert talks about how we can recognise the life of God flowing.

Rooted in the River

At Rev this term (term 1 – 2017) we’re looking at how our present series, The River, can be practically applied in our lives.

The River focuses on Ezekiel 47 in the Bible. In this passage of scripture we are asking the same question the angel did of Ezekiel: have you seen this? This very much echoes what Jesus says in the gospels: He who has ears to hear, let him hear. God has made promises to us. He has promised that where his river flows – his Kingdom, his rule, his authority, his presence, his love, his holiness – there will be abundant life; salt water turned to fresh; transformation of our hearts; and fish of all kinds (diversity of people). He has promised that there is abundantly more in Him, and we must expect abundantly more from him.

But we need to get into that river, and not just go knee-deep or ankle-high, but get right into it so it sweeps us up.

We’ll be looking at six different roots in our lives that gets us practically into this river:

1. Jesus’ cross

2. Jesus’ Word

3. The Holy Spirit

4. Church

5. Jesus’ blood

6. Baptism

After the Looking Up camp in January, with the theme “Game Over”, we want to take our call and life and relationship with God seriously. So we’re being passionate and intentional about applying this.

The River Pt 2: The King and His Kingdom

Marcus Herbert speaks about how we need to have one pursuit and one pursuit only: Christ.

The River Life Group discussion: Sunday, 29 January 2017

This last Sunday we kicked off our new series “The River”, which looks at Ezekiel 47 in the Bible. God promises that where his river flows – his Kingdom, his rule, his authority, his presence, his love, his holiness – there will be abundant life for all. But we need to get into this river to have it.

THIS WEEK IN LIFE GROUPS

This week (starting 29 January) we’ll be looking at the following scripture and discussing it, in light of our current series.

“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10b

1. “I…”
What is the significance, and implication, of Jesus making this promise?

2. “…came…”
What is the significance of Jesus having come?

3. “…that they may have…”
What must we do to have eternal life, the life Jesus speaks of?

4. “…life and have it abundantly.”
How is Jesus’ promise of life different to the promises of the world?

5. What is our response after hearing this promise?
