Spilling water on people

Written by Robert Garon

Here's a thought, scripture, and prayer to guide us.

Thought:

I’ve heard it said discipleship is like walking around with a completely full glass of water. If we stay still, the water would stay in the glass. If we walk around with it, the water begins to spill out onto other people we walk into. Before we overflow into or onto others we need to be filled, continually filled, so our Jesus water falls onto them. How are you filling your glass with Jesus every day so you are filled with him? How are you intentionally walking around others so the Jesus water inside your glass spills onto those who are parched?

Scripture:

"The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him." John 7:38 CSB



Prayer:

Father God fill us with the living water of your Spirit and give us vision and motivation to make us overflow onto others who need to have their thirst quenched by you in Jesus name amen.

Suffering and the Sealed

Four horses ride out across the Roman world. War, hunger, and death follow. And a question hangs in the air: who is able to stand?

The Throne and The Lamb (Revelation 4-5)

This week in our Behind The Curtain series, we’re stepping into the throne room of heaven. In Revelation chapters 4–5, John sees God enthroned and a sealed scroll no one can open. Then the Lamb steps forward, and heaven erupts in worship. What or who has been sitting on the throne of our hearts? Come follow the Lamb with us.

Letters From The King (Revelation 2-3)

In Revelation chapters 2–3, Jesus writes to 7 real churches facing fear, compromise, comfort, and apathy. Before the enemy attacks from outside, he's already sitting in the pews. This week in our Behind The Curtain series, we'll see what Jesus does when he walks among his church.

Jesus's words are hard because his love is fierce. (Revelation 3:19) Where has comfort quietly replaced faithfulness in us? Jesus loves his church too much to leave her asleep.

What If We’ve Been Reading Revelation Wrong?

Wars. Headlines. Prophecy charts. YouTube experts. What if we've been reading Revelation wrong? We'll let the book introduce itself in Revelation chapter 1 as a letter from Jesus to real churches under real pressure, with a blessing promised to everyone who hears it (Revelation 1:3). When the curtain pulls back, Jesus stands there and says, "Don't be afraid."

Disciple-maker. Chocolate lover. Husband to Lisa, and dad to Brayden, who serves in the U.S. Coast Guard. I currently pastor Sherwood Community Friends Church in Sherwood, Oregon.

I've spent over two decades in ministry and leadership, hold a Master's in Pastoral Counseling, and have had the privilege of bringing God’s Good News to Nicaragua, Greece, Haiti, Brazil, the Czech Republic, and beyond. I've led businesses and churches through growth during hard seasons, walked alongside people in their best and worst moments, and never once stopped being convinced that following Jesus is worth everything it costs.

When I'm not doing ministry things, you'll find me on a hiking trail, rucking around my neighborhood, or standing in front of my Traeger grilling up some part of an animal and making no apologies for it.
