How Thirsty Are You?

This week, during the Assembly Time hour (9:30-10:30), we're going to be continuing our "Closer" theme. So far, we've talked about the "traces" God leaves around and the "marks" He places on our lives that allow us to remember that He exists. This week, we're going to look into one specific truth found in Psalms 107:9, Isaiah 55:1, Matthew 5:6, John 4:14, and John 7:37-38: thirsting for more of God and being satisfied by it.

So often, we get distracted by the things of this world: facebook, texting, movies, and the media. The thing is, we too often allow these things to take the place of the real satisfying substance found in a growing relationship with God. Like choosing soda over water, we vie for the "fake," temporary time-filler rather than "liquid" we were made for: Jesus himself.

For this week's challenge:

1. Fill up your cup of water to the line marked on the side of the cup.
2. Throughout your week, fill up your cup to each line marked as you follow out the actions listed on the line (i.e. when you decide to skip the TV and read your Bible, pray, or spend time with your family instead, you can fill it up to this line. Basically, once you have overcome one of your distractions, you can fill your cup to the next line).
3. Bring your cup into church next Sunday, with the water still in the cup.

If this seems a little confusing, shoot me an email: emailliane@gmail.com or give me a call, and I'll explain it better in person!

Good luck!
