A Message about Water

Yesterday, Brock began his message at Sunday morning church by telling facts about water. Then, he said that all of this talk was making him thirsty. He asked if anyone had any water. About ten people came up handing him a bottle of water. He kept adding the bottles to his arms. After about 8 bottles, he began dropping one at a time and someone would hand it back to him. Then, he'd drop another one and someone would pick it up for him and hand it back to him. This continued for about 10 seconds or so. My sister was laughing so hard. She said, "I don't know why this is so funny, but it's hilarious!"

Then, about midway through his message, a 13 year old boy on the second row was laid out sleeping. Brock kind of kicked him and he didn't stir. Then, he threw the empty box of waters at him and said, "Wake up!" The boy's dad was sitting behind me and said, "You get him, Brock!" At that point, the boy woke up and stretched like he was at home on his bed. It was funny!

Brock spoke about the women at the well. She came to get physical water, but the Lord gave her living water (John 4). The most interesting thing that he pointed out was that she left her water jar and went to tell everyone about Jesus. She left the very thing she came for...a jug of water. She changed her plans that day because Jesus became more important to her. She didn't wait until she had a seminary degree or studied the Bible more. She began spreading the good news immediately! She even left her water jug in the process. Brock said that some of us need to have our plans for the day ruined so that we can carry out His plan.
