Oct 18, 2026 - Are You Thirsty?

What does it mean to truly thirst for God? Psalm 42 opens with one of the most vivid and honest images in all of Scripture -- a deer desperately searching for water in a dry and parched land. That image is not just poetry. It is a mirror held up to the deepest need of the human soul. In this message, we explore what it looks like when our spiritual lives run dry, and why the answer is not to lower our expectations but to redirect our hunger toward the only source that can truly satisfy. We are reminded that the same instinct that drives a deer down from the hills in search of water during a drought is the instinct God has placed within every one of us -- a longing that the world cannot fill, a thirst that only His presence can quench. The message draws a powerful connection between the role of water in sustaining physical life and the role of the Holy Spirit in sustaining our spiritual vitality. Just as civilizations have always built their lives around sources of water, we are called to build our lives around the living God. If your soul feels dry right now, this is a message that speaks directly to where you are.
